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.
Happy Halloween From Red River, New Mexico. Halloween Temperatures. Courtesy Of The Midland NWS Office. Courtesy Of The Lubbock NWS Office. Courtesy Of The Albuquerque NWS Office. Valid @ 5 PM MDT This Afternoon. Valid @ 5 PM MDT This Evening. Valid @ 7 PM MDT This Evening. Valid @ 8 PM MDT This Evening. Valid @ 9 PM MDT This Evening. A sunny Halloween is in store for the area today. Our afternoon high temperatures across southeastern New Mexico will range from the low-mid 70's. Northwest to west winds at around 10 -20 mph are anticipated across the southeastern plains. A Wind Advisory is in effect for the Ruidoso area where northwest to west winds of 25 - 35 mph with gusts near 50 mph are expected today. By sunset this evening the winds will begin to die off but there will still be a westerly breeze across the southeastern plains at around 5 - 15 mph...so it will be a little on the chilly side. By 9 pm our t...
Red River, New Mexico This Morning. 12Z/6 AM MDT NAM 500 MB Analysis. Valid @ 6 AM MDT This Morning. Water Vapor Satellite Image @ 7:45 AM MDT This Morning. Our anticipated strong winter-like storm is going to be somewhat of a let down. At sunrise this morning the storm was beginning to split into an elongated mid-level trough of low pressure. Part of the storm is centered over northwestern Arizona while the core of the storm was centered over western Wyoming. 12Z/6 AM MDT NAM-WRF Snowfall Accumulations. A week ago the models were going nuts with this storm...forecasting a big snow storm from the Rockies eastward into the plains. This is not to be now. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the northwestern Highlands and the San Juan Mountains of northern New Mexico through early this evening. 1" - 3" of snow is forecast with higher totals across the higher peaks and summits. A Wind Advisory is in effect for the Ruidoso, Cloudc...
Sunrise Over The Salt Lakes Located Southeast Of Carlsbad, New Mexico Monday Morning. The Sun Was Peeking Over A Fog Bank 06Z/ Midnight NAM 500 Analysis. Deep Mid-Upper Level Low Parked Over Nevada. IR Satellite Image Of The Remnant Moisture From Tropical Storm Raymond Streaming Northeastward Into New Mexico. Our large mid-upper level storm was still located over Nevada as of midnight last night. The models slowly begin to open this closed low up and move it eastward later today into Wednesday. Copious amounts of mid and high level moisture continue to stream northeastward from Tropical Storm Raymond . Scattered thunderstorms are forecast for the southeastern plains and parts of west Texas later this afternoon, and our chances for getting wet will increase tonight, and continue into tomorrow. The dryline will sharpen up over the local area as the storm to our northwest begins to open up and move eastward. Strong gusty southwesterly winds wi...
Winds at ~ 0500 EDT lulled to about 50mph ( http:// www.mountwashington.org/ weather/conditions.php ) allowing the Night Observer (Ryan Knapp) to weight down and set up his camera long enough to “light write” a message with his headlamp – GO SOX! Unusually Deep Mid-Upper Level Storm. Courtesy Of NWS Albuquerque. Courtesy Of NWS Midland. 06Z/Midnight MDT NAM 500 MB Analysis. 06Z/Midnight MDT NAM Surface Cape Forecast. Valid @ 3 PM MDT Tuesday. Storm Prediction Center (SPC) Day 2 Severe Weather Outlook. IR Satellite Image Of Hurricane Raymond @ 5:30 AM MDT. An unusually deep mid-upper level storm is slowly sinking southward over northern California early this morning. Unfortunately there still remains more questions about where this storm is headed than there are answers. A slower and more southward track of the storm would mean more rain and snow for New Mexico...and a possible influx of the remnant moisture from Hur...
NAM 500 MB Forecast @ 11 AM MST Monday. Overall the models have settled down some...but the overall outlook is still uncertain. They basically agree that short wave now getting ready to round the upper-level ridge and drop into the Pacific Northwest will form a closed mid-upper level low over Nevada by Monday. Just how far south and west it sinks is still questionable. Of course this will have a huge impact on just what kind of weather will develop over New Mexico. There some indications that the dry line will set up along or near the Texas/New Mexico border on Tuesday and Wednesday. If the storm to our west digs further south than forecast then the dry line will get pulled back to the west...giving the eastern and southeastern sections of the state a better shot at thunderstorms. Still watching to see if Hurricane Raymond's moisture gets pulled up into the area by this strong approaching mid-upper level storm. There is the potential for this to happen if the storm...

This Mornings 12Z/6 AM MDT Canadian Model (GEM) 500 MB Forecast Valid @ Noon MDT Wed, Oct 30, 2013. This Mornings 12Z/6 AM MDT Canadian Model (GEM) Temperature Forecast Valid @ 6 PM MDT Wed, Oct 30, 2013. This Mornings 12Z/6 AM MDT Canadian Model (GEM) Snowfall Forecast Valid @ 6 PM MDT Wed, Oct 30, 2013. This mornings 12Z or 6 AM MDT run of the various computer models continues to be a quagmire of possible solutions concerning next weeks winter-like Halloween storm. I thought it was interesting that the Canadian model is swinging the closed mid-upper level storm into the Four Corners by next Wednesday, then opens it up as a trough of low pressure over central/southern New Mexico Wednesday night, as it begins to lifts northeastward and out of the state. Again you simply cannot latch onto one model and say this is what is going to happen. As I mentioned in this mornings blog there will be changes within the models between now and the fi...
