Why Are My Weather Posts Missing From Facebook.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you know that my Facebook page was shut down without any warning by Facebook this past Saturday, June 8th. All I was told was that I had violated their community standards. I don't know what triggered that; they didn't tell me. I was told this may be permanent or for six months.
My guess is that it may be because I posted several comments and articles from my Substack page about the riots in LA, and that must have triggered/angered someone, and they complained, thus Facebook shut me down. I don't know this as fact, though. I have appealed this decision, and I'm still waiting for their reply. I have read on X that this has happened to other Facebook users posting about the LA riots as well.
I always share my weather blog posts (that I post here) on my Facebook page and my X page. This included over twelve different New Mexico and West Texas Facebook Community sites. So there are thousands of you out there (based on my views and shares of those posts) who will no longer see those posts. My Facebook page may or may not be restored.
This is another good reason (as the National Weather Service often reminds us) to have multiple ways of receiving severe weather alerts when severe weather threatens your location. My weather web page is one of those ways, and I really appreciate all of you who have and still do use it. Thank you so much!!!
If my Facebook page is restored, I will continue to share my weather blog posts and some of the NWS Watches and Warnings...as I have been doing for years now.

Extreme Drought Grips SE NM & W TX!


Southeastern New Mexico and parts of nearby West Texas have been placed in the Exceptional Drought Status. If you look at the maps above its pretty clear that there isn't much hope of relief through at least July.

Our current ongoing La Nina continues to weaken out over the Equatorial Pacific Ocean, with most of the models predicting that we may return to ENSO-neutral conditions by July. This pattern would be more favorable for the development of our annual summer Monsoon to develop  around the first couple of weeks of July. Whether or not this happens is still questionable. 

I think that there are a lot of similarities between this year and 2003, which was a very dry year across SE NM. The Roswell Airport only managed to record 2.90" of rain that year. Most reporting stations in the Pecos Valley recorded rainfall totals of between 5" - 7" in 2003. I hope that we don't end up as dry as 2003 but it sure looks that way.

Rest Of The Week Outlook.

A weak cold front is draped across the area today, and is expected to push south of the area later tonight. We should continue to see our afternoon high temperatures remain mostly in the 80's today into the weekend. The 90's will return by Monday.


The Water Vapor Satellite Image above depicts our latest upper level storm centered over eastern Colorado. For the better part of the fall, winter, and now the spring, the storm track has remained well north of SE NM and over northern New Mexico or southern Colorado. The southern end of these storms are always dry and windy, and as long as they continue to track to the north of us, then the dry windy pattern will continue to plague us.
