The radar
The Grand Island radar (KUEX), 97 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 02:47 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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
N. Platte/Lee Bi, NE (KLBF), launched 00:00Z, 2.7 hours before the alert went out and 172 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.

Area forecast discussion, May 7, 1:54 PM CDT, 7 hours 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE 154 PM CDT SAT MAY 7 2005 .SHORT TERM...THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. MAIN CONCERN WILL BE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THIS EVENING...AND CONVECTION CHANCES ON SUNDAY. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED THE DRYLINE PUSHING INTO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NEBRASKA THROUGH WESTERN KANSAS. A COLD FRONT EXTENDED THROUGH WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA FROM A LOW CENTER IN SOUTHEAST WYOMING. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED CUMULUS DEVELOPING ALONG FRONT IN WESTERN NEBRASKA. SURFACE BASED CAPES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA PUSHING UP TO 1500 J/KG BY 17Z. STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW IS IN PLACE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 50S. PROFILER DATA SHOWING A JET STREAK MOVING THROUGH SOUTHEAST COLORADO AND WESTERN KANSAS...WITH UP TO 80 KT MAXIMA. SHORT WAVE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHEAST FROM UPPER LEVEL LOW CAN BE SEEN THROUGH WESTERN KANSAS...MOVING TO THE NORTH. EXPECT CAPE VALUES TO APPROACH 2500 J/KG BY EARLY EVENING...WITH 0 TO 6 KM SHEAR VALUES UP TO 50 KTS. INITIAL CONVECTION SHOULD FIRE ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND EVENTUALLY PUSH EAST INTO THE AREA. MAIN THREAT SHOULD BE LARGE HAIL...BUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. FRONTAL POSITION WILL BE THE MAIN DETERMINER OF CONVECTION ON SUNDAY. EXPECT THE FRONT TO BE IN OR NEAR THE FORECAST AREA BY 08/18Z. CAPE VALUES AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING 3500 J/KG BY 08/21Z...BUT THE AVAILABLE SHEAR IS VERY WEAK. MAIN THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL. COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BY SUNDAY EVENING. THERE MAY BE A FEW WRAP AROUND SHOWERS IN THE NORTHERN ZONES. MONDAY WILL BE MUCH COOLER THAN SUNDAY. .LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. TUESDAY BEGINS WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING BEHIND DEPARTING TROUGH TO THE EAST...AND AHEAD OF NEXT DIGGING TROUGH ALONG THE WESTERN CONUS. WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEGINS TO LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE CWA TUESDAY...AND SOUTHERN ZONES SHOULD WARM INTO THE 80S. PATTERN BECOMES MORE ACTIVE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK...WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT WITH POTENT UPPER LOW OVER THE ROCKIES. MOISTURE RETURNS LATE TUESDAY IN INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH DEEPENING SFC LOW IN THE HIGH PLAINS. WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH TUESDAY NIGHT AND IS ORIENTED FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. IF THIS PLACEMENT HOLDS...CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN TO OUR NORTH AND WEST AS WELL TUESDAY NIGHT. CHANCES FOR CONVECTION INCREASE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK...AS PIECES OF ENERGY ARE EJECTED FROM MEAN TROUGH TO THE WEST AND LIFT ONTO THE PLAINS. FRONTAL BOUNDARY GRADUALLY SHIFTS SOUTH INTO OUR REGION...INCREASING THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL IN OUR AREA. UPPER LOW IS SLOW TO FILL AND LIFT OUT ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS NEXT WEEK AND CHCS FOR THUNDERSTORM CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY. IF SYSTEM SLOWS FURTHER...CHCS WILL NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO SATURDAY. && .GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. KS...NONE. && NELSON
