The atmosphere continued to be only marginally supportive of severe weather on the Great Plains today. \u00a0Shear was decent, with sufficient mid-level flow from the northwest, and weak upslope flow into eastern New Mexico. \u00a0Moisture was better along an outflow boundary in the Carlsbad-to-Midland area, but not good enough for SPC to plunk down even a 2% tornado risk. \u00a0The forecast for the latter part of this tour was favoring the northern Plains, so I was looking more at thunderstorm prospects in east-central NM versus Carlsbad and Midland and points southeastward. \u00a0SPC upgraded this latter area to slight at 1630Z.<\/p>\n

I was drawn toward expected development closer to I-40 by mid-afternoon. \u00a0After lunch in Roswell, we wound up in front of some weak convection in the vicinity of House or McAlister, I think, near the Quay\/Curry county line. \u00a0This ho-hum stuff developed more to the south and southeast, and started to push some dust up in front of it. \u00a0The storm base was on the high side, but the storm looked a little bit organized. \u00a0That was near Field.<\/p>\n
