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.

Quote- "On this day in 1996, a wind event for the history books occurred with a peak wind gust of 128 mph at Guadalupe Pass. The sustained wind was hurricane force from about 1000 am until about 300 pm with a maximum sustained wind of 105 mph. Although the Pass is famous for wind events elderly ranchers in the area said they had never seen the wind blow so hard.

The highest winds and most damage occurred in the mountainous zones, however strong to damaging winds occurred over most of the warning area. One fatality resulted as a 56 year old South Carolina man was killed when he drove his car into a parked trailer truck which had just been involved in an accident. The Department of Public Safety report stated that visibilities were ranging between 20 feet and 1/4 mile with a visibility of 50 feet being common during the clean up of the accident."

Today Into The Weekend Across SE NM.

A cold front will move into the area this morning. Under sunny skies, current NWS forecasts have our afternoon high temps ranging from 54 in Tatum, 58 in Hobbs, 61 in Roswell, 66 in Artesia, to 68 in Carlsbad. If the front is a little faster in arriving than current thinking, then we may not be quite this warm.

A quick warm-up will commence starting tomorrow which will last into the weekend. Forecast high temperatures tomorrow range from the upper 60's to near 70. Highs on Thursday range from the low 70's to the upper 70's. By Friday most of us will see the mid-upper 70's, with a few spots flirting with the 80-degree mark. Windy weather may return to the area Friday as a fast moving disturbance zips by to our north across southern Colorado. Warm weather will prevail into the weekend as well, with our high temperatures expected to be in the 70's to near 80.

A Pattern Change Next Week.
Yet Another Major Winter Storm For NM?

Valid At 5 MST Mon Jan 23, 2012.

Last nights 00Z/5 PM MST run of the European computer forecast model, continues to forecast yet another strong closed mid-upper level low over the Desert Southwest by the first of next week. By sunset Monday, it is forecasting this next potential Major Winter Storm to be located over southeastern Arizona.

This ought to sound familiar, the two previous storms that took this track each hammered southeastern New Mexico with a foot of snow. The first one was the Christmas Eve storm that dumped 12" -14" of snow on Carlsbad, and 9" - 11" over most of the rest of the local area. The last storm was the January 9th Winter Storm that dumped 12" - 15" of snow on the Hobbs and Nadine areas.

Valid At 5 PM MST Mon Jan 23, 2012.

As has been pretty much the case all winter long, the GFS and ECMWF models have different forecast solutions for this next potential Winter Storm to impact the area by the first of next week. The ECMWF slows the storm down, and forms a strong closed mid-upper level low over Arizona.

Meanwhile, the GFS model keeps the storm as an open trough of low pressure sweeping across the Texas Panhandle by Monday. So we will have to wait a few more days until the models settle down and see which scenario wins out. We may either have yet another Winter Storm to deal with by the first of next week, or a windstorm here in SE NM.
