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.

6 PM MDT Temperatures. Courtesy Of WeatherBell. Courtesy Of Oklahoma MesoNet Strong Cold Front Overnight! NWS Surface Map Forecast. Valid At 6 AM MDT Wednesday. Here at our home in Carlsbad , we climbed up to 89ºF while the Carlsbad Airport reached 88ºF for a high-temperature today. Artesia 81ºF, Roswell 80ºF, and Hobbs 75ºF.

High temperatures Wednesday and Thursday will be in the 50's & 60's warming into the 70's by Friday. Low temperatures Thursday morning will be chilly with most of the lower locations seeing the 30's.
