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.

Heat Wave Advisory Continues Today In NM - A Look At High Temps So Far.


  

As of 11 PM MDT last night the Dog Head Forest Fire (burning in the Manzano Mountains) southeast of Albuquerque had consumed some 17,000 acres and was 0% contained. 24 homes and 21 other buildings had also been lost to the fire. Notice in the visible satellite images above that smoke from the fire was carried eastward into Eastern New Mexico and West Texas, and then northward into Colorado and Western Kansas on Thursday.



Check out this Facebook video posted by Gary Gurule of a close slurry drop on the fire!

Heat Wave Continues.


Our current heat wave is forecast to continue today across much of Eastern, Southeastern, and Southern New Mexico as well as across parts of West Texas. In fact a Heat Wave Advisory remains in effect for the area. Today potentially could be the hottest day of this heat wave. We get somewhat of a break for the first couple of days next week with highs dropping down into the upper 90's then rebounding again to the century mark by Thursday into next weekend. Rain? Nope that's not in the cards for us. 





You know its going to be hot when Cloudcroft (8,750' MSL) is expecting to climb up to 83ºF and Ruidoso (7,000' MSL) is looking at 91ºF today. 




Our neighbors to the west in Arizona are looking at brutal temperatures this weekend into the middle of next week also.

Interestingly enough the nations reported high temperature so far this summer has been 120ºF which occurred in Death Valley, California on the 2nd, 4th, and ith of this month. This reading will likely be eclipsed by Monday. The Las Vegas NWS Office is currently forecasting a high temp on Monday in Death Valley of 122ºF, 124ºF on Tuesday, and 122ºF Wednesday.

Roswell recorded the nations reported high temperature this past Wednesday with a reading of 107ºF. Pecos, Texas topped out at 108ºF on Thursday for the nation's high.
