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.

Snow In SE NM Today - No Its Not An April Fools Joke!

Valid @ 6 PM MDT.

Valid @ 6 PM MDT Sunday.






Oh what a surprise toady's weather is going to be for many in southeastern New Mexico and parts of West Texas. For weeks now many have been saying that winter was over in January. Mother Nature is set to prove that wrong today.

A strong but small mid-upper level storm located roughly at the 18,000' level (500 millibar level) is currently digging southward through southern New Mexico. This storm has lots of cold aloft with it and is also dragging a strong southward moving cold front into the region with it. Temperatures at 5 AM MDT this morning in the area were in the 40's and they will continue to slowly drop throughout the morning.

A steady cold rain is falling across much of the local area this morning. This is forecast to mix with or change over to snow later this morning. Current forecast models and National Weather Service Forecast thinking is that Chaves County will see a mix of rain and snow with perhaps less than an inch of accumulation. The best chances for anything sticking there will be in southwestern and western Chaves County and in eastern Chaves County along the caprock.

Eddy, Lea, and Culberson Counties remain under a Winter Weather Advisory where 1"-3" of the white stuff is forecast to accumulate in some areas. Northern Lea County is favored for this as is western Eddy County over and near the Guadalupe's. The Sacramento mountains will likely see up to a couple of inches of accumulations in some areas. Most of the accumulations will occur on grassy areas. Some roads may become slushy with hazardous driving conditions. Convective banding may occur with today's snowfall so localized higher snowfall totals will be possible. Some fruit trees and others may suffer damage from the heavier wet snows that accumulate on them. Some power lines could also fail under the weight of the heavy wet snow in a few locations.

Storm total rainfall amounts by sunset are forecast to range from .25" to 1.25" by the models. This will be a fast moving "in and out" type of storm so when skies clear tonight many areas will see a freeze with some locations dropping down into the 20's. There goes our fruit trees! I talked about this possibility this past winter several times. Strong El Niño's love to pull these early spring snow storms on us so its really not that rare of an event...not something we see often but certainly not unusual either. 

The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction!
