AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 235 PM MDT THU JUN 12 2003 THINGS STILL ON TRACK...WEAK FRONT IS PROGD TO PUSH INTO THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. DAYTIME HEATING ALONG THE RATON RIDGE COMBINED WITH A S/WV TRAVERSING THE AREA WILL KEEP ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY COULD BECOME SEVERE BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING OVER THE FAR NORTHEAST. ANOTHER...IN A SERIES OF S/WVS...WILL TRAVERSE THE STATE TOMORROW BRINGING A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN FROM THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS EAST INTO THE NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PLAINS. FAIRLY STRONG RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA ON SATURDAY...SO PRECIP SHOULD SUBSIDE FOR PART OF THE DAY. FOR THE WEEKEND AND MOVING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...SOME OF MODELS HINTING THAT S/WV ENERGY WILL DROP SOUTH ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. THIS SEEMS MORE BELIEVABLE THAN THE BULLISH MRF WHICH BRINGS PRECIP OVER THE ENTIRE STATE. GOING WITH DRY IN THE WEST AND ISOLATED POPS FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS EAST ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS.
