Thunderstorm brewing overhead. Deming FSS closed March 31,1995. Alan Rudisill was the last employee out the door.  The facility was converted to a contract weather observation station where Keith Brandt was employed as a weather observer until September 1997.

ASOS weather observation equipment replaced the human aspect of weather observations in 1998.  Upon closure in 1995, the FBO that was collocated in this same building was moved to the north side of the field.
