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.

Cold Weather Sticks Around Until The Middle Of Next Week.




At least it did not get nearly as windy as had been forecast for yesterday.





This is not the worst of the cold weather...colder temps are yet to come. Check out these comments on the Albuquerque National Weather Service Forecast Office "Area Forecast Discussion" or AFD from yesterday afternoon. Its been awhile since we have seen -40F temps reported in New Mexico.

Outlook For Today Into Mid-Week.

This Mornings 12Z/5 AM MST GFS 500 MB Temp Analysis.

This Mornings 12Z/5 AM MST GFS 700 MB Temps.

Very cold air aloft at the mid-levels of the atmosphere cover all of the Western and Southwestern U.S. this morning. Temps at the 500 millibar level or roughly at the 18,000' mean seal level are down to -38F over northwestern Arizona northeastward into northwestern Colorado. Temps at the mountain top level or the 700 millibar level (10,000' mean sea level) were down to -28F over eastern Idaho and much of Wyoming. Bitterly cold arctic air from the North Pole is being funneled straight south and in New Mexico. This trend is forecast to continue into the middle of next week.

I know that this is a long ways off (valid at 5 AM MST on Jan 22nd) and you must use these forecasts (four maps above) by the GFS model, with a great deal of caution...however, take a look at these temperatures. Colder than -50F at the 500 millibar level, down to -44F at the 700 millibar level, -42F at the 850 millibar level, and finally -40F to -45F at the surface. There is the potential that many areas east of the Rockies may end up seeing some of the coldest weather in years from later this month on into February.
