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.

La Nina Looms - Bad News For New Mexico!


A Very Humbling Photo To Say The Least. Now My Facebook Profile Picture.

As El Niño Continues To Weaken - La Nina Looms.
(Bad News For New Mexico & The Desert Southwest). 

(December 31, 2015).

(April 21, 2016).  

Compare the sea surface temperature maps (above) from last December with the current map (today). Its fairly obvious how quickly and how much the Equator Pacific sea surface temperatures are dropping thus signaling the coming end of El Niño conditions with a return to La Nina conditions by this fall and winter.



Sea surface temperatures across and near the Equatorial Pacific Ocean continued to cool as El Niño continues to weaken. This trend is forecast by the models to continue. In fact a La Nina Watch has been issued by NOAA. Bad news for New Mexico because La Nina's produce the opposite weather that El Niño's do. Meaning drought conditions will likely worsen in time.

Hot dry springs and summers with an increased risk of fire danger especially after the wet last several years we've had. Lots of dry tall grasses and brush available to fuel wildfires. Not to mention that dust storms will be more common.

U.S. Drought Outlook April - July, 2016.

There may be some temporary hope in May. Typically during an El Niño our weather in May and sometimes into June can be rather active. Meaning lots of thunderstorms, some of which are severe, and flash flooding. Its a coin toss as to what will happen this year. April across southeastern New Mexico has been relatively dry.
