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.

Will SE New Mexico Get Wet?

Maybe some of you will but most of us won't is the best answer I can give you this morning. According to the latest model runs the best chances for wetting rains this afternoon and evening will generally occur roughly from about the Hobbs area northward to Clayton along and near the NM/TX state line. 

Severe thunderstorms are forecast to break out this afternoon and evening generally along and north of a Hobbs to Clovis line also. The primary threats at this time appear to be large hail and damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in excess of 58 mph. Locally heavy rains could also fall and any thunderstorm that forms will be accompanied by deadly cloud to ground lightning. The tornado threat appears to be small but that can never be completely ruled out. A few supercell thunderstorms are forecast to break out and these will need to be watched closely for this potential...especially one or two of the stronger cells become rooted closer to the surface. 

Should the dryline hold back further to the west than currently is forecast then there would be a better chance for thunderstorms across Southeastern New Mexico. Any way it goes it will be a close call as to whether or not we get wet. At any rate it would be a good idea to keep abreast of our local weather this afternoon and evening in the event that conditions change and we end up facing the potential for more of a severe weather threat locally.
