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.

Rain Is Back In Our Forecast Thanks To Remnant Moisture From TS Harold.

Rain Is Back In Our Forecast Thanks To Remnant Moisture From TS Harold.

At 6 AM MDT Tropical Storm Harold was located 70 miles east-southeast of Port Mansfield, Texas. Harold is moving to the west-northwest at 18 mph. His maximum sustained winds are 45 mph with a central pressure of 1004 millibars or 29.65 inches of mercury. 

Harold is forecast to move inland this morning and then track to the west-northwest today into Wednesday. By Wednesday afternoon his remnant circulation is forecast to be near the Texas Big Bend. 

Low-level moisture from Harold will increase over the area today as the remnants of Harold approach. This means an increase in clouds as our chances for rain goes up. A Flood Watch remains in effect for a large chunk of West Texas through Wednesday evening. As of 8:30 AM MDT this Tuesday morning this watch does not include southeastern New Mexico.

As the remnant moisture from Harold moves into the area later today into Thursday scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will develop and spread northwestward. Locally heavy rainfall will occur across parts of the local area. A more widespread heavy rainfall event is forecast south of us into the Texas Big Bend country. 

Current model forecasts call for local rainfall totals of an inch or less across Eddy, Chaves, and Lea Counties today into Friday. Localized rainfall totals may approach an inch or more in the Sacramento, Capitan, and Guadalupe mountains. 

However when dealing with remnant moisture from former Hurricanes and Tropical Storms I have noticed through the years that the models often under forecast rainfall totals from these systems. Much will depend upon the track of the remnants of Harold as far as who gets the most rain. A slight shift further northward would mean more widespread and heavier rains for southeastern New Mexico and nearby areas. A shift further south would mean less. The further south and west you go the better your chances of getting wet are.

Hot hazy and somewhat humid conditions will continue today with our high temps across the southeastern plains dropping down to only around 90 on Wednesday.

Scattered thunderstorms dotted the landscape yesterday afternoon and evening. A brief thunderstorm dumped .61" of rainfall at the Ridgecrest Personal Weather Station (PWS) on the east side of Carlsbad. That station also recorded a thunderstorm wind gust of 63 mph as the storm collapsed over Carlsbad. On the northwest side of town I only measured .02".The CoCoRaHS Station 4.3 miles WSW of Capitan measured .37".
A PWS in Timberon measured .28".
