Here’s an update as of 7:43 AM of the two fires impacting the Village of Ruidoso.
🔥🧯🚒🧑‍🚒👩‍🚒👨‍🚒
To the south is the Salt Fire consuming the area near Ruidoso Downs. It appears to be in about the same location as yesterday. In the middle is the South Fork Fire. It too looks to be in about the same location as yesterday. Unfortunately, reports are saying over 1,000 buildings have been burned by the fire.
☔️🌧️💧
It still looks like we can get some rain in the Sacramento Mountains today so ask for the rain to get here asap to help put out these fires!!

IMPORTANT POST! ‼️‼️‼️
This is super super important no matter where you live.

Yes, we have a tropical system heading into Texas as we speak, but folks up in Ruidoso could have benefitted from this. You always want to have an emergency kit ready to go! Save this post for future reference as you pack up your kit. Lonestarlive.com

Here’s an update on the South Fork Fire in Ruidoso as of 7:34 AM. The fire has overcome more parts of the village unfortunately. So incredibly sad. Keep the brave firefighters in mind as dry humidities and breezy winds will not help the effort today.

So sad to see this fire burning and spreading quickly all around Ruidoso. Here is the current location of the fire as of 9:35 PM. Looks like it already crossed the main road just south of Ruidoso Winter Park and has overcome the Alto Cafe.

Check in with the following link to keep track of the fire location. Let’s hope the tropical moisture moves in sooner rather than later, but it’s going to take a few days to get here.

Much needed rain is on the way for the Borderland. Stay tuned for a rainfall analysis for the state of Texas on Lonestarlive.com this afternoon.

The Tropical wave moving into TX will make its way to our area mid-week and into the weekend. This will drop temps into the 90s starting Thur!

The image below shows the most likely rainfall totals from Friday through Sunday. The rain will overall be light in nature each day.

Texans- you’ll want to keep your eyes on this storm and how it develops. We could have life threatening flooding as soon as Tuesday. Lonestarlive.com

Tropical disturbance in Gulf of Mexico now has higher chance of bringing heavy rain to Texas The National Hurricane Center has upgraded the tropical disturbance over the Yucatan Peninsula to have a higher chance of development over the next seven days.

Bracing for a storm at Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels, Texas. I feel like I was the only one who knew it was coming haha! ☔️⛈️👙🏖️

It’s been one nonstop severe weather season!

We could see an active season for a variety of reasons caused by La Niña.

Atlantic Hurricane season started June 1 and while there has yet to be a named storm, experts are predicting a busy year. If La Niña comes together this summer, it could mean more hurricanes for the United States and Texas. https://l.lonestarlive.com/d2PLNS

I was a little worried my new dress would key out on my green screen. When colors are too similar in shade, they start to blend and your clothing can become see through when you overlay the graphics on the screen. I was pleasantly surprised to see that was not the case for this dress.

I also fixed my issue with my green screen hotspot so I am feeling great this Sunday! I hope you’ll tune in to today at 8 AM, or 6 and 11 PM.

In April-May, we’ve seen the second most tornadoes on record! The only other year to beat 2024 is 2011- the year of many infamous tornado outbreaks including the April 27 outbreak in the southeast and the deadly Joplin, Missouri tornado. Read more information in my article below!

A look at the story I wrote yesterday for Lonestarlive.com. Rain gauges can only track the rain in one particular place, so there may be other locations where each city has seen much more than what was reported at the airport.

So far this year, rainfall totals in some parts of the state have been above average, while others seem to be right on track. Here's a look at the data: https://l.lonestarlive.com/Y061vh
