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.

Cloudy skies and scattered light rain showers dot the landscape across the area this morning. Current radar views show two bands of rain showers, and embedded thunderstorms moving across southern and southeastern New Mexico. The heaviest rains are falling just east of Carlsbad as of 9:00 AM. The second band moving eastward across southern New Mexico is associated with the Pacific cold front, and will arrive in the local area this afternoon. A few of the stronger thunderstorms will be capable of producing gusty winds and small hail today.

As was expected the heaviest rains have fallen across southwestern New Mexico. The Deming Airport has picked up 1.31" of rain so far. Cloverdale which is located in extreme southwestern New Mexico has measured 1.35" of rain, while San Lorenzo which is located northeast of Silver City, has picked up 1.00". As of 9:00 AM MST the Ski Apache Ski Resort is reporting that they have picked up 3" of snow.

As of 8:30 AM MST I had picked up .02" of rainfall here at my home in Carlsbad. Some of the heavier amounts from across the area include:

15 Miles NW of Carrizozo .43"
Carrizozo Airport .32"
2.3 Miles S of Cloudcroft .24"
High Roll CW5738 .21"
Sierra Blanca Snotel .20"
4.6 Miles N of Alamogordo .18"
Cloudcroft Fire Station .15"
Mescal Raws - Near Mescalero .15"
Sacramento Peak - Sunspot .10"
Holloman AFB - Alamogordo .09"
Mayhill Raws .07"

8-Mile Draw Raws .03"

Other rainfall totals can be found at these links: New Mexico MesoWest Weather, Weather Underground, and Davis WeatherLink.

Scattered rain showers along with an occasional embedded thunderstorm or two will continue off and on across the area through late this afternoon. As the Pacific cold front sweeps eastward across the area later this afternoon, our skies will clear as the rain moves east into West Texas. Gusty westerly winds will accompany the frontal passage. Our forecast highs today are in the 60's, and depending upon when the clearing occurs, these readings temps could end up being a little high.

Saturday's Outlook.



Saturday will be much cooler across the area behind the frontal passage. Strong gusty northerly winds sustained at around 30 mph, with gusts near 50 mph will be possible across parts of the area Saturday morning into the early afternoon. Depending upon how much rain we receive today, areas of blowing dust could also develop in these strong winds tomorrow. Our highs are forecast to be in the 50's.

Clearing skies, light winds, and a dry airmass in place, will allow our temperatures to tumble Saturday night into Sunday morning. Our lows will generally be in the mid-upper 20's. A few places could see lows near 20.
