Cannon AFB (KFDX) Radar Outage

Updated 10/01/2025 11am The Cannon Air Force Base (KFDX) WSR-88D will remain inoperable for an extended period due to a hardware failure at the site. Parts have been ordered. There is currently no estimate on when the radar will return to service. KFDX radar is the only radar coverage for portions of eastern New Mexico. However, you may find KPUX, KAMA, KLBB, and KMAF radars useful. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Cannon AFB Public Affairs at 575-784-4131.

Dense Fog Advisory Until 9 AM MST.

Blog updated at 8:45 AM MST.

Today's Outlook.


This Morning.

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 9 AM MST,
for Eddy and Lea Counties in New Mexico, as well as
 across parts of West Texas to our east.

 Local visibilities may suddenly drop down to less than
 one quarter of a mile with little to no advanced 
warning this morning. Please drive safely out there.

Rest Of Today.





An approaching upper-level storm (depicted above) will sweep
 across the state today. This feature combined with low-level moisture
 feeding into the area behind a stationary front, will give us a 
slight chance for a few scattered thunderstorms today. 

Our overall chances are not that great, we only have a 10% - 20%
 chance for seeing measurable rainfall. A few of the stronger thunderstorms
 may produce small hail, gusty winds, and frequent deadly cloud to ground
 lightning strikes. We are looking at highs near 70 today in Eddy and
 Chaves Counties, with the low-mid 60's expected in Lea County. 

Severe T-Storms Across West Texas Today.



A few severe thunderstorms may break out across parts of
 West Texas today. Some of these thunderstorms will be capable
 of producing large hail and damaging winds. An isolated tornado
 or two cannot be ruled out either.

across parts of the Midland NWS County Warning Area 
(Northeastern Permian Basin) by around noon CST today.

Thanksgiving Week Outlook.

Tuesday.

Wednesday.

Thanksgiving.

A mild Thanksgiving is shaping up for southeastern 
New Mexico this year. We are still looking at high
 temperatures in the 70's. It may turn out to be a 
little on the breezy to windy side as another upper-level 
storm takes aim on the state. More on this later.

High Temperatures Thanksgiving Day.
