Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS North Platte, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 17, 3:03 PM CDT, 6 hours 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 3:03 PM CDT, 6 hours 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
303 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
H5 RIDGE OVER WESTERN CONUS WITH TROUGH OVER EASTERN CONUS.
MOISTURE POOLING OVER SOUTHWEST INTO NORTWEST NEBRASKA AS SEN IN
VISIBLE SATELLITE. ISOLATED CONVECTION FIRING ALONG BLACKHILLS AND
SOUTH CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

IN THE NEAR TERM MODELS HAVING TROUBLE WITH TIMING OF WAVES MOVING
AROUND AND THROUGH THE H5 RIDGE TO THE WEST. MOISTURE RIDGE OVER
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA HAS POTENTIAL FOR WEATHER TONIGHT. HAVE USED A
BLEND FOR THE FORECAST. CONFIDENCE IS LOW WHERE CONVECTION MAY
FIRE. CAP REMAINS STRONG THIS AFTERNOON OVER FORECAST AREA. WEAK
LLJ CAPES AROUND 2000 TO 2500 MODERATE INSTABILITY BUT NO GOOD
FOCUS. STRONGER WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON
WEDNESDAY WITH BETTER FORCING HAVE LEFT CHANCE POPS GOING INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN BEGAN TRIMMING THEM BACK. TEMPERATURES IN
THE 80S LOWS IN THE 50S.

EXTENDED...FRIDAY NIGHT THRU TUESDAY
MODELS SEEM TO BE IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN BUILDING THE UPPER RIDGE
ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST DURING THE WEEKEND...AND THEN NOSING THE
RIDGE INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSLATE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR
AREA...AND THIS WILL KEEP THE CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT
CONVECTION GOING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS SHOW
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING INTO OUR AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SO
HAVE OPTED TO LEAVE THOSE DAYS DRY FOR NOW...AS TEMPERATURES ALOFT
MAY WARM HELPING TO SUPPRESS CONVECTION.

TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY BE WARMING THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH
HIGHS AOA 90 DEGREES...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHWEST ZONES BY SUNDAY. DEW
POINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S WILL HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES UP AT
NIGHT...WITH LOWS IN THE 60S BECOMING COMMON BY SUNDAY...AND THEN
LASTING FOR THE REST OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
&&

.AVIATION...

MOISTURE FEED NORTH ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA LEADING TO AREAS OF MVFR
CONDITIONS WEST OF HIGHWAY 83 TO THE EASTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. THE
POTENTIAL FOR MVFR CONDITIONS WILL IMPACT TERMINALS KLBF AND KVTN
THROUGH 18/00Z. ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT THAT WILL LIKELY INFLUENCE THE KVTN TERMINAL FROM 00Z
TO 04Z THIS EVENING THEN TOWARD DAYBREAK AS RIDGE RUNNERS MOVE
SOUTHEAST. OVERNIGHT BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE INCREASES ACROSS THE
WEST WITH MVFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS GENERALLY WEST OF KLBF AND KVTN
TERMINALS THROUGH 15Z.

304 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2008 /204 PM MDT TUE JUN 17 2008/

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS
PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA TONIGHT. THE GREATEST
RISK IS WEST OF A LINE FROM SPRINGVIEW IN KEYA PAHA COUNTY TO
MASON CITY IN CUSTER COUNTRY. ADDITIONAL ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS FURTHER EAST IS POSSIBLE AS DISTURBANCES MOVES
THROUGH THE UPPER RIDGE AND ENCOUNTER DEEPENING MOISTURE IN AN
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. THE PRIMARY THREAT IS LARGE HAIL WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO EVOLVE INTO CLUSTERS THAT COULD
PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL OVERNIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD SLOWLY EAST WITH AN ACTIVE WEATHER
PATTERN EACH DAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THURSDAY WILL BE MAINLY WEST OF A LINE FROM
VALENTINE TO NORTH PLATTE...WHERE CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN THE MOST
UNSTABLE.
