Most of the southern one half of New Mexico has averaged above normal this September as far as rainfall is concerned. Across the Sacramento and Guadalupe Mountains eastward out onto the southeastern plains most of us are averaging 1" to 5" above normal for the month. Except for our home in Carlsbad where I've recorded an even 2.00" for the month...which is not far below normal which is 2.11".   Average Temperatures For September 2016. (As Of Sept 29th, 2016).

Strong Cold Front Has Pushed Into West Texas. Surface Map @ Noon MDT Today. Finally our anticipated cold front has arrived...although somewhat slower than what the models had originally forecast.

Local Temperatures @ Noon MDT Today. As of noon today the coolest reading I can find was 48ºF at the Buck Mountain Automated Weather Station (10,720') located near Sierra Blanca Peak, west of Ruidoso. A close second was the Sunspot Solar Observatory (9,255') with 49ºF. The Smokey Bear Raws in Ruidoso (7,090') was reporting a temp of 59ºF while a Personal Weather Station in Cloudcroft (8,698') was reporting 51ºF. Here at our home in Carlsbad my Davis Vantage Pro2 Home Weather Station was reporting 73ºF.  With the cold front now in West Texas and cont

9-15-2016 Hidalgo Gas Plant - West Of Orla, TX. Strong Western Storm Digs South Today. 500 MB Analysis @ 6 AM MDT This Morning.

A cutoff upper level low will develop just south of Arizona on Sunday and will still be parked there by sunrise Monday. This cutoff low depicted here at the 500 millibar level or roughly at 18,000' above sea level will have been "cutoff" or separated from the jet stream to its north over the northern plains. Therefore it will just sit down there for a couple of days and spin away trapped by the upper level ridge by its west and north. Cold This Morning Across The West
