The radar

The Grand Island radar (KUEX), 112 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:24 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

Omaha, NE (KOAX), launched 00:00Z, 3.4 hours before the alert went out and 150 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, 8 hours 30 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...

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THERE IS A THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE EVENING ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE
LARGE HAIL UP TO TWO INCHES IN DIAMETER...DAMAGING WINDS...AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES. THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGH
THE EVENING...AND THE INDIVIDUAL STORMS WILL MOVE NORTHAST AT 35
MPH.  THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE GIVEN
THE HIGHLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AND MODERATE WIND SHEAR.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY MAINLY ALONG
AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 281 OVER NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA. ALTHOUGH WIND SHEAR WILL REMAIN WEAK OVER THIS AREA...A

POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
