Welcome To Southeast New Mexico Weather.

June 6, 2025. Developing Supercell. Looking North From Lovington, NM.  Say Goodbye To The Rain & Hello To The Heat. Our recent stretch of wet and relatively cool weather was nice given the time of the year, but this is going away by the weekend.  Overall, high temps across the state will average some 5 to 11 degrees above normal today into the first of next week. Highs across southern New Mexico and the southeastern plains will be in the 100 to 105 range Friday into next Tuesday. Hit and miss thunderstorms will break out over the eastern one-half of the state today and Friday. A few of these may become marginally severe and produce large hail, damaging thunderstorm winds, frequent lightning, and locally heavy rainfall.  From the central mountain chain westward, thunderstorm coverage will be more isolated and of the drier nature.   As we march deeper into our meteorological summer, the overall weather pattern will shift towards a monsoonal one. If lucky, we w...

Me..Taken By My Wife On  November 2, 2024. 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 o...

Scattered Severe T-Storms Today Into Tonight! Rich low-level Gulf of America moisture has surged westward across the eastern one-half of New Mexico this morning and is backed up against the east slopes of the mountains. Jal is reporting a dew point temperature of 71F at 7:30 AM, the Artesia Airport 70F, and the rest of southeastern New Mexico has dew point temperatures in the mid to upper 60's.

A cold front was draped across far southeastern New Mexico and West Texas, extending southeastward from the surface low.  A shortwave will swing across the region today, aiding in lift a...
