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.

Cold Front Approaching - No White Christmas For SE NM This Year!


Valid At 11:07 AM MST This Morning.

At noon today our next winter storm was located over far northwestern Arizona and continues sinking slowly southward. 


Valid At 5 PM MST This Afternoon.

Meanwhile at the surface a Pacific cold front was moving eastward through the western part of New Mexico while a modified arctic cold front was entering northeastern New Mexico headed south. These two cold fronts will merge and sweep eastward and southward out of southeastern New Mexico late tonight into early Friday morning.

Temperatures & Wind Chill Values At Noon MST Today.




Our long awaited change to colder weather will commence locally tonight with a second cold front invading the Eastern Plains Sunday.  


Valid At 5 AM MST This Morning.

Valid At 5 PM MST This Afternoon.

Valid At 5 AM MST Friday Morning.

Valid At 5 PM MST Friday Evening.

So much for another historic or even decent winter storm for the Christmas Holidays for our local area. What a wild ride the computer forecast models went on over the past week to ten days. Nothing short of a mess with lots of confusion in their forecasts. Unless our little storm approaching from northwestern Arizona does something totally unexpected we are out of luck this year as far as a White Christmas goes. 

Instead of seeing high temperatures below freezing Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as the models had been forecasting at times, we will see highs on Christmas Eve in the 40's to near 50 and on Christmas Day the 60's. 

The Canadian model seems to be the most robust with this storm and drags it slowly southeastward across the state this evening into Friday evening. There isn't a lot of moisture associated with it so snowfall totals overall will be light. And the modified arctic airmass accompanying it will not be nearly as cold as the models were forecasting over the past week. 

Temperature & Wind Chill Forecasts.

As of 1 PM MST today our local temperatures have climbed up into the low to mid 70's across the Southeastern Plains with the 40's and 50's in the Guadalupe, Sacramento, and Capitan mountains. These readings will drop by some 20 to 30-degrees or so on Friday behind the approaching cold fronts.

Southwesterly to westerly winds have been gusting up into the 25 to 40 mph range today across the Southeastern Plains. Across the mountains it has been windier with gusts of 68 mph reported at the Bowl north of Guadalupe Pass, 64 mph at the Sierra Blanca Regional Airport, 57 mph at the Carrizozo Airport, 55 mph at the Dunken Raws, and 54 mph in Pine Springs in the Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
