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.

Typical March Weather Today - Windy & Dusty.

Southern New Mexico's first Severe Thunderstorm Warning of the year was issued by the El Paso National Weather Service Office at 5:04 PM MST yesterday. A cluster of thunderstorms moved northeastward through the Tularosa Basin at around 50 mph while producing damaging winds.

The highest wind gust noted was at San Augustin Pass, where a gust to 78 mph was recorded. The Warning was allowed to expire at 5:45 PM. As this cluster of thunderstorms moved through the Carrizozo area at 5:45 PM MST, damage to the Carrizozo Market (pictures above) occurred from high winds. Additional wind, rain, and snow reports across the state can be viewed by visiting this link.

 This proves that severe weather can occur just about anywhere in New Mexico, at any time, and not necessarily across the eastern or southeastern plains where it is most common.

Windy & Dusty Today. 



Today's weather will be fairly typical for March, windy and dusty. A Wind Advisory covers much of the area for westerly winds that are forecast to increase this morning to 30 - 40 mph with gusts up around 55 mph

As would be par for the course a High Wind Warning remains in effect for the Guadalupe mountains today and into this evening around midnight. Westerly winds are expected to become sustained at around 35 - 50 mph with gusts near 70 mph.

Our normally dust prone locations such as open or freshly plowed farmlands, fields, construction sites, and lots will be especially vulnerable to blinding clouds of blowing dust. Sudden drops in the visibility down to near zero with little or no advanced warning may occur in and near these locations today.

Today will be cooler with highs in the low to upper 60's across the local area. Sunday will be about ten to 15 degrees cooler than today with highs in the low to mid 50's. Monday will see a start to the warming trend with highs in the mid to upper 60's. By Tuesday we will be right back up in the upper 70's to near 80.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect today for the southern Sacramento mountains where 1" - 3" of new snow will be possible below 7,500' MSL. Cloudcroft and surrounding areas above 7,500' may see 3" - 5" of new snow by tonight.

  1. Amazing storm wind damage - so glad it was just t-storm with lightning up in clouds, or on distant hills here. And needed rain (even snow flurries just minutes ago!).
