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.

NAM 500 MB Forecast At 5 PM MST This Afternoon.

 Although there is a lot of moisture and clouds headed our way, this mornings forecast models indicate that this storm approaching from the west, will pretty much wash out over Arizona by tonight. 

Radar has indicated a few light rain showers over southeastern New Mexico this morning and we may see more of this activity today. We may even see an isolated thunderstorm or two but overall our chances for getting measurable rainfall are not all that great. Roswell has a 20% chance today into tonight, Artesia, Carlsbad, and Hobbs have a 20% - 30% chance of getting wet.

Sunday will be warm and windy with southwesterly winds kicking up at around 20 - 30 mph with higher gusts, especially in the afternoon. More spring-like temperatures are expected today and tomorrow with our highs ranging from the low 70's to the low 80's.
