Why would you redefine a blue moon to be a second full moon in the same month, instead of an actually apparent blue moon?
If the actual Blue Moon depends on particles in the air, it can't be calculated, thus can't be predicted.
Of course, the naming is ridiculous, but ... it does make sense not to define the Blue Moon as a blue moon, at least for those "scientists".

And now to claim all the things from people who responded to requests with this metaphor.

Astronomers, amateur skywatchers and other interested persons should pay close attention to the sky tomorrow as a "blue moon" will appear for the first time in three years. It will reach its full phase starting at 9:58 a.m. EST.
I'm sorry, but as this is the internet, and not the piddly local paper- you're going to have to do a bit better than just 'EST.' It's not called the 'world wide' web for nothing.
