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.

Record Fall Heat Comes To An End Finally.



Widespread Freeze Tonight.

A Pacific cold front moving through southeastern New Mexico early this afternoon will move east and out of the local area tonight. Behind it a much colder airmass is moving southeastward. At noon today temperatures ranged from the 30's and 40's across western and northern New Mexico to the 70's across the southeastern plains. High temps yesterday afternoon reached the 90-degree mark in Roswell and Carlsbad. 

Strong southwesterly winds raked the state yesterday afternoon along with areas of blowing dust. Several Dust Advisories were issued for Chaves County and parts of southern New Mexico. 

The Roswell Industrial Air Center Airport ASOS clocked a peak wind gust Tuesday afternoon of 67 mph. Blowing dust obscured the sky during the afternoon and dropped the visibility down to 1/4 of a mile at times. A gust to 66 mph was recorded at the Sierra Blanca Regional Airport and the Smokey Bear Raws in Ruidoso clocked a gust to 60 mph. The San Augustin Pass Raws east of Las Cruces on US Hwy 70 clocked a gust to 82 mph. 

As the latest fall storm that produced our high winds, blowing dust, and higher northern mountain snow showers departs today another stronger storm is organizing over the Gulf of Alaska today. It will dive southward and strengthen carving out a large long-wave trough of low pressure over the western U.S. Friday into the weekend. By next Monday a strong upper-low is forecast to be located over central New Mexico.

Our first widespread freeze of the season will impact much of the state late tonight into early Thursday morning. Low temps Thursday morning will likely be in the 20's and 30's over much of the state. The teens are forecast for the far northern mountains.

Lows across the southeastern plains will be in the 30's to near 40. The Roswell, Dexter, Hagerman, Artesia, Lakewood, Seven Rivers, and Tatum areas will get very close to seeing their first freeze. The Carlsbad area may escape it though. 

T-Storms Return Friday Night Into The Weekend.
Snow Over Western & Northern New Mexico Late This Weekend.

Low-level moisture born upon southeasterly upslope flow will quickly return to the southeastern plains on Friday. The atmosphere will destabilize with a strong southwesterly flow aloft setting up ahead of the approaching storm to our northwest. A dryline will likely setup along the east slopes of the Capitan, Sacramento, and Capitan mountains Friday afternoon into Saturday night. 

Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will be on the increase across the eastern and southeastern plains and nearby mountains Friday evening into Saturday night. Some of these may become severe over the eastern and southeastern plains. Locally heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding will also be a concern. However, I do not see anything in the computer model forecasts at this time, that indicates that another excessive rainfall event such as the devastating Roswell area event is in the making. It is early so specific rainfall forecast totals are not reliable this far out in time. The different models have different outcomes so don't get too caught in the model rainfall forecasts yet.   

As a strong closed or upper-level low settles into the state late this weekend into next Monday scattered rain showers and snow showers will overspread parts of western and northern New Mexico. There is the potential for heavy mountain snow in some of these areas. More on this later. 

Snow levels may drop as low as around 7,000' Monday night in the Sacramento mountains. Ski Apache may see their first accumulating snowfall of the season on Monday and Monday night. 

Long-range forecasts call for a period of below normal temps and wetter-than-normal conditions over the state over the next two weeks.
