What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jul 16, 5:17 PM MDT	HAIL 0.88	13 S Nenzel, NE

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

N. Platte/Lee Bi, NE (KLBF), launched 12:00Z, 10.9 hours before the alert went out and 171 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.

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 Jul 16, 3:53 PM MDT, 1 hour 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 16, 3:53 PM MDT, 1 hour 2 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED DATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
453 PM CDT WED JUL 16 2008

...FOR SYSTEMS TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT ALL OF WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA SHOULD RECEIVE APPRECIABLE RAINFALL...WITH
LOCALLY EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS...

.DISCUSSION...

COVERAGE OF TSTMS THROUGH 00Z LOOKS TO BE ISOLATED WITH NO REAL
FOCUS YET. AFTER 00Z...LLVL JET WILL INCREASE TO 35 TO 40 KTS...WITH
NOSE PUNCHING INTO NCTRL NEBR. POTENTIAL FOR A LARGE MCS TO DROP
SOUTHEASTWARD FROM NCTRL NEBR INTO CNTRL SANDHILLS. POPS NEAR 50
PERCENT FOR CHERRY COUNTY.

BEST TSTM CHCS WILL FOCUS ON THUR AFTN THROUGH THUR NIGHT. MID LEVEL
COOLING CAUSED BY S/V THROUGH AND H7 TEMPS COOLING TO 9C IS
SUGGESTIVE OF WIDESPREAD SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS. PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUED PEAK OUT NEAR 1.75 TO 2 INCHES NEAR AND NORTH OF SFC FRONT.
GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDING LG HAIL...WIND DMG AND
EVEN FLASH FLOODING WILL BE PRESENT THURSDAY AFTN AND THUR NIGHT.
POPS AT THIS JUNCTURE RANGE FROM 40 TO 70 PERCENT WITH LIKELY POPS
DRAPED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST.

SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THIS SYSTEM AND WEAK RIDGING DEVELOPING OVER THE
HIGH PLAINS BY FRIDAY NIGHT IS SUGGESTIVE OF MAINLY A SLIGHT CHC FOR
TSTMS FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. A COOLDOWN INTO THE LOWER 80S FRIDAY
WILL BRING A WARMUP BACK INTO THE LOWER  90S BY SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON WHETHER A COLD FRONT WILL PASS
ACROSS SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A COOLER SUNDAY. GFS CONTINUES TO
MAINTAIN A CLOSED LOW ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY...WHILE THE ECMWF IS MORE SUBTLE.
&&

.AVIATION...

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST NEBRASKA THIS
EVENING AND BECOME THE FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
TONIGHT. CONVECTION WILL BE SLOW MOVING WITH VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
KVTN AND KLBF TERMINALS THROUGH 14Z THURSDAY. THE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE HIGH BASED THIS EVENING WITH BRIEF
REDUCTIONS IN CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES AS STORMS MOVE ACROSS. AS
THE FRONT MOVES EAST OVERNIGHT BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE WILL INCREASE
WITH CLOUD CEILINGS LIKELY MVFR THURSDAY MORNING AT THE KVTN
TERMINAL THAT SHOULD LINGER THROUGH 20Z BEFORE LIFTING IN THE
AFTERNOON.

322 PM CDT WED JUL 16 2008 /222 PM MDT WED JUL 16 2008/

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM EXISTS AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
SLOWLY SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST NEBRASKA. AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE MOVING EAST WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LIFT THROUGH THE
EVENING FOR A FEW STORMS TO REACH SEVERE LIMITS NORTHWEST OF A
LINE FROM BRULE IN KEITH COUNTY TO SUTHERLAND IN LINCOLN
COUNTY...TO SPENCER IN BOYD COUNTY. THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE
LARGE HAIL. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE OUT LOOK AREA BUT ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW
SEVERE LIMITS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

THE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA ON THURSDAY AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE STATE. EARLIEST DEVELOPMENT WILL BE IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
LATE THURSDAY MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN RAPID EXPANSION IS
LIKELY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THE PRIMARY SEVERE
WEATHER THREATS ARE DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL.

THE FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO MAKE ITS WAY NORTHWARD ACROSS
NEBRASKA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THEN A SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP
ON THE HIGH PLAINS. AS A RESULT OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS...THERE IS
THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS NEARLY EVERY DAY IN WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED TONIGHT AND ON THURSDAY.
