SPC HAS SLIGHT RISK FOR NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN/SOUTHEAST NM AS
FRONTAL BOUNDARY COULD BECOME THE FOCUS FOR SOME AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS. FRONT CURRENTLY RUNNING FROM NEAR KSPS... TO NORTH OF
KMAF AND KINK. HOWEVER... KMAF SITTING ON A 0.21 INCH PRECIP TOTAL
SINCE APRIL 1... SO IT IS HARD TO GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT RAIN.  WILL
PROBABLY INCLUDE SOME LOW POPS FOR THE NORTH.  UPPER RIDGE STAYS
OVER THE AREA THROUGH 48 HRS WITH CUT OFF LOW SPINNING OVER SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA. DO NOT SEE MUCH CHANCE OF RAIN UNTIL THE LOW COMES
EASTWARD... MRF BRINGS IN INTO THE AREA LATE TUESDAY.  PLENTY OF
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH... BUT HAVE TO OVERCOME THE CAP.  DRYLINE
PACKED AGAINST THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OUT WEST... NOT EXPECTED TO
MOVE MUCH TODAY... COULD SEE SOMETHING GO UP IN THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.  DO NOT AGREE WITH GUIDANCE
NUMBERS... EXPECT ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD.
