Cannon AFB (KFDX) Radar Outage

Updated 10/01/2025 11am The Cannon Air Force Base (KFDX) WSR-88D will remain inoperable for an extended period due to a hardware failure at the site. Parts have been ordered. There is currently no estimate on when the radar will return to service. KFDX radar is the only radar coverage for portions of eastern New Mexico. However, you may find KPUX, KAMA, KLBB, and KMAF radars useful. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Cannon AFB Public Affairs at 575-784-4131.

First Freeze/Hard Freeze Of The Season Friday Morning.




At 7 AM MDT Friday, Oct 25th, 2019.

(As Of Midnight Friday, Oct 25th, 2019).




Although many areas of New Mexico had already experienced their first freeze of the season prior to Friday morning, most of Southeastern New Mexico and nearby areas of West Texas had not. Not only did we get our first freeze but many locations had a hard freeze. Several Personal Weather Stations (PWS) in the Artesia and Roswell areas recorded unofficial low temperatures in the low 20's.


Elk Climate Co-Op Station: 16

Cloudcroft Climate Co-Op Station: 21
Roswel Portable Raws On The Caprock 23
Artesia Climate Co-Op Climate Station: 25
Guadalupe Pass ASOS: 25

Low temperatures being reported this Saturday morning a running close to Friday's lows but generally a couple of degrees warmer.

 Thus ends the growing season for 2019.

(As Of 8 AM MDT Friday, Oct 25th, 2019).
