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.

Scattered T-Storms Today Into Monday.

     Overnight thunderstorms dropped moderate to locally heavy rain over Southeastern New Mexico. These storms are winding down at sunrise this morning. Skies will clear this morning with another round of storms developing this afternoon.

     Late afternoon thunderstorms will develop over the mountains and to our north and then move southward into the evening and overnight hours. Some of these storms like this morning's activity will continue overnight until around sunrise Saturday.

     A few of these storms will become severe and produce severe sized hail (1" in diameter or greater) and damaging thunderstorm wind gusts. Slightly larger than dime size hail was reported by the public in Artesia around 3:45 AM this Friday morning. 

     Locally heavy rainfall will occur with the strongest thunderstorms with some spots seeing rainfall totals of 1" - 3". 

     Highs today will range from the low 90's to the mid 90's behind a weak cold front that entered the local area overnight. Back up to the upper 90's for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
