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.

Isolated To Scattered Severe T-Storms Today And This Evening.

A broken line of multicellular thunderstorms developed Tuesday afternoon and stretched from west of Jal northeast to northeast of Tatum. Locally heavy rainfall was indicated by rainfall southeast of Tatum where estimates were close to 5.00". This is likely overdone due to hail contamination in the radar return but no doubt heavy rains did fall from these severe thunderstorms. A Personal Weather Station (PWS) measured .72" of rainfall north of Hobbs and a CoCoRaHS Station southwest of Hobbs measured .64" from yesterday's thunderstorms.

This morning's surface analysis shows that the dryline has backed westward into Southeastern New Mexico. Dew point temperatures have risen up into the 60's in the Pecos Valley but remain in the teens, twenties, and 30's across the Guadalupe, Sacramento, and Capitan Mountains. By this afternoon the dryline is forecast to mix eastward to near the NM/TX state line.

Isolated to scattered mainly multicellular thunderstorms are in our forecast across parts of Northeastern, Eastern, and Southeastern New Mexico and West Texas this afternoon and evening. A few supercell thunderstorms are also possible. Generally, our chances for rain across Northeastern, Eastern, and Southeastern New Mexico are in the 20% to 40% range today into this evening. 

Today's severe weather hazards include large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in excess of 58 mph, and perhaps an isolated tornado or two. Blinding localized dust storms will occur with these damaging thunderstorm winds gusts reducing the visibility down to near zero with little to no advanced warning. I suspect a few haboobs may occur from these thunderstorm wind gusts. Localized heavy rainfall may also produce localized flash flooding in a few locations. Widespread drought relieving rainfall is not going to occur today from these thunderstorms since they will be widely scattered in nature and highly localized. 

Dry Lightning Threat Over The Plains And Mountains.



Some of today's thunderstorms are going to be "dry" in nature and produce dry lightning. Meaning that some thunderstorms will produce very little rainfall but lots of gusty winds and cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. This activity will be possible over the east slopes of the Sacramento and Guadalupe Mountains, and the Eastern and Southeastern Plains. Thus further aggravating an already dangerous fire weather set up over the area.

Critically Dangerous Fire Weather Conditions are forecast to continue over much of New Mexico today and Thursday. New Mexico will get somewhat of a break Friday into the weekend but sadly strong winds and Critically Dangerous Fire Weather Conditions will return next week. 





There Are None So Blind As Those Who "Will - Not" To See.
