The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Omaha, NE (KOAX), launched 00:00Z, 0.0 hours before the alert went out and 137 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

NWS Hastings, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Apr 18, 2:05 PM CDT, 4 hours 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 18, 2:05 PM CDT, 4 hours 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE 205 PM CDT MON APR 18 2005 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z THURS. MAIN CHALLENGES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD ARE CONVECTIVE CHANCES EACH AFTN/NIGHT ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY. EARLY MORNING ANALYSIS REVEALED RATHER POTENT UPR LOW CONTINUING TO SPIN OVER THE WESTERN CWA...LIFTING NORTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA. AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER WESTERN KANSAS...NEAR KHLC...WITH SFC WARM FRONT LAID OUT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS...JUST SOUTH OF THE CWA. BY EARLY AFTN...PRONOUNCED DRY SLOT BULGE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE UPR LOW HAD WORKED INTO THE EASTERN COUNTIES...SETTING THE STAGE FOR CONVECTION LATE THIS AFTN. EXPECT LATE AFTN CONVECTION WILL SPILL OVR INTO THE FIRST PERIOD TONIGHT AS UPR LOW LIFTS OUT OF THE AREA AND SFC WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH. HAVE CARRIED PRECIP CHANCES INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...MAINLY OVER THE EAST WHERE THE BEST FORCING EXISTS IN COMBINATION WITH THE LIFTING FRONT...INCREASING LLJ...AND STRONG MOISTURE ADVECTION. BY 12Z TOMORROW...UPR LOW WILL HAVE LIFTED OUT OF THE AREA WITH SUBSIDENCE PREVAILING BY AFTN. HAVE THEREFORE LOWERED CLOUD COVER A BIT TOMORROW...ALTHOUGH COULD SEE A LITTLE STRATUS OVER THE EAST THROUGH THE MORNING WITH MOISTURE BEING TRAPPED UNDER NOCTURNAL INVERSION. WARM FRONT WILL BE CLAYED OUT SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE CWA...WITH LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWING THE FRONT JUST A BIT FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE PREVIOUS RUNS. CONFIDENCE IN FRONTAL POSITION IS QUITE LOW...HOWEVER BEST GUESS WOULD PUT THE FRONT NORTH OF I-80. GIVEN GOOD INSOLATION TOMORROW AFTN COUPLED WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE FROM WIDE-OPEN GULF...ATM WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE BY LATE IN THE DAY...WITH FCST SBCAPES OF 2500-3500+ J/KG LIKELY. EXPECT TO SEE STORMS FIRE BY LATE IN THE DAY ALONG BOUNDARY TO THE NORTH...WITH ANOTHER AREA POSSIBLE ALONG SURGING DRYLINE FROM THE WEST. DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS QUITE WEAK OWING TO SLACK FLOW ALOFT...HOWEVER GIVEN HIGH CAPE ENVIRONMENT WITH MARGINAL SHEAR AND STEEP LOW/MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...SOME STORMS BECOME SEVERE. MAIN THREAT ATTM LOOKS TO BE HAIL AND WIND...ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN THE VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY GIVEN POOLED LOW-LEVEL CAPE AND SUFFICIENT UPDRAFT STRENGTH POTENTIAL WITH GOOD AFTN HEATING. THEREAFTER...SETUP APPEARS CONDUCIVE FOR A HEAVY RAIN THREAT AS SFC BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO BE THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION THROUGH THE NIGHT WHILE MOISTURE AVAILABILITY REMAINS VERY HIGH AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT INCREASES. WILL ADD HEAVY RAIN MENTION INTO THE FCST FOR THIS PERIOD. TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE FRONT...HOWEVER HAVE GAMBLED ON THE WARM SIDE OF THINGS TOMORROW AS MUCH OF THE CWA WILL BE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY IN THE WARM SECTOR. BY WEDNESDAY...VARIOUS SOLUTIONS SHOW THE FRONT PUSHING BACK SOUTH AS SFC HI BUILDS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WITH THE SOUTHWARD RETREAT OF THE BOUNDARY AND DIVERGENCE INCREASING ALOFT WITH THE APPROACH OF WESTERN SYSTEM...HAVE MAINTAINED GOING POPS FOR WED AFTN/EVENING. IT APPEARS AT THIS TIME THAT AT LEAST SOME PORTION OF THE CWA WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE WARM SECTOR...AND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SHOW GRADIENT FROM NW/SE OVER THE AREA. ALSO...THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE INCREASED FOR THOSE AREAS SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY BY LATE AFTN AS DEEP LAYER SHEAR INCREASES TO 45-50KTS WITH APPROACHING WESTERN TROF AND CAPE VALUES WILL LIKELY ONCE AGAIN BE QUITE HIGH WITH GOOD INSOLATION OVER AT LEAST PART OF THE AREA. .LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...EARLY IN THIS PERIOD THE MODELS ARE SIMILAR BRINGING A WEAK SHORT WAVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM JUST TO THE SOUTH. WILL CONTINUE WITH A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. BUT THIS IS THE END OF FAIR MODEL AGREEMENT. THE MODELS HAVE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES OVER THE WEEKEND. THE ECMWF HAS AN UPPER RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE THAT BUILD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THEN HAS A LARGE UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE GREAT LAKES WITH A SHORT WAVE SWINGING INTO THE PLAINS FOR MONDAY. ON THE OTHER HAND THE GFSLR HAS THE UPPER RIDGE MOVING BACK TO THE WEST ALLOWING THE LOW IN THE GREAT LAKES TO SWING ENERGY INTO THE PLAINS ON SATURDAY. HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH THE ECMWF SINCE THE RETROGRESSION IN THE GFSLR SEEMS A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE. WITH THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE PLAINS ON FRIDAY...EXPECT THAT THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL COME TO AN END BY MID DAY. WITH THE RIDGE ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY THERE WILL BE DRY WEATHER AND MILD TEMPERATURES. THE NEXT QUESTION THEN IS WHAT TO DO WITH THE SYSTEM THAT TRIES TO SWING INTO THE PLAINS ON MONDAY. FOR NOW WILL KEEP IT DRY AS THE RIDGE WILL PROBABLY REMAIN STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP THE MAIN SYSTEM TO THE EAST. && .GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. KS...NONE. && LAWRENCE/JCB
