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 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 00:00Z, 4.8 hours before the alert went out and 81 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, Aug 11, 3:26 PM CDT, 8 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
326 PM CDT MON AUG 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
CLEARING EVIDENT ON VSBL SAT PICS BEHIND EXITING WARM ADVECT
ELEVATED PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH EXITING SHORT WAVE OVER THE ERN
DAKOTAS. STILL SOME DECENT CONVECTION ONGOING IN BOYD COUNTY.
FURTHER WEST...NEXT STRONG SHORT WAVE ENTERING THE WRN HIGH PLAINS
AND DEVELOPING TSRA OVER THE BLACK HILLS AND ERN WY. AREA OF
SUNSHINE IN WRN CWA RESPONDING AS LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
INCREASE...AND CU FIELD EXPANDS NEAR THE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AXIS.
GOES DPI H2O VAPOR INDICATING SOME DRYING TAKING PLACE IN WRN
PANHANDLE...BUT STILL DECENT PWS ACROSS MIDDLE OF THE CWA. 12Z LBF
SOUNDING HAD NEAR 1.5 INCHES THIS AM...AND WITH WCD OF >10K FT
SHOULD BE SOME HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING STORMS THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THRU WED)...UPPER LOW SPINNING OVER SRN
CANADA WILL DRIFT SLOWLY SEWD DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. NW FLOW
ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO EJECT WEAK SHORT WAVES ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS THRU WED...AS CONFLUENT FLOW DEVELOPS. SOME CONCERN THAT
WITH BETTER SHEAR TUES STORMS POSSIBLE TUES FURTHER N THAN IN
CURRENT FCST...AND THEREFORE EXTENDED THE CHANCES FURTHER N. SFC
FEATURE IS WEAK...BUT SOME LL CONVERGENCE NOTED ACROSS THE MIDDLE
OF THE CWA AS WELL...AND A BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING GOOD LL LAPSE
RATES WITH BETTER SUNSHINE EXPECTED. AFTER PASSAGE OF INITIAL
CONVECTION TUES NIGHT...LLJ DEVELOPS AND VEERS TO THE SW AS IS
DIURNALLY FAVORABLE...AND PRODUCES ELEVATED CONVECTION WED MORNING
FROM SW INTO SC NEB. THEREFORE HAVE INCLUDED SMALL POPS IN THOSE
AREAS. TEMPS FCST BELOW MAV GUIDANCE BASED ON SERLY LL FLOW AND
POTENTIAL FOR SOME CONVECTIVE DEBRIS TO START THE DAY.

.LONG TERM (WED NIGHT THRU SUN)...12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF SHOWING
DECENT AGREEMENT WITH EVOLUTION OF FEATURES...BUT THE 12Z ECMWF HAS
COME IN MORE PROGRESSIVE. SOME HINT THAT 12Z GFS ENSEMBLE WOULD ALSO
SUGGEST A MORE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN...BUT LIKELY NOT TO 12Z ECMWF
EXTENT. HAVE TRENDED MORE ALONG THE LINES OF 12Z GFS IN KEEPING
LOWER TEMPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AS FOR PRECIP...EVEN IF 12Z GFS
VERIFIES WELL...STILL WOULD EXPECT THAT BEST ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND
DEEPEST MOISTURE WOULD EXIST EAST AND NORTHEAST OF UPPER LOW AS IT
DROPS INTO NRN NEBR. BEST POPS INDICATED THERE. HOWEVER...WILL HAVE
TO WATCH AS THIS IS A VERY ANOMALOUS HEIGHT VALUES ARE INDICATED AND
MODELS MAY HAVE A HARD TIME WITH THIS.

&&

.AVIATION DISCUSSION...

CIGS HAVE LIFTED TO VFR CONDITIONS AS TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN INTO
THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. THIS SHOULD PREVAIL OUTSIDE ANY
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS EVENING. NEAR THE STORMS CONDITIONS MAY
BECOME QUITE LIMITED DUE TO HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLY SOME
STRONGER WINDS. SOME REDUCTION IN VSBY IS POSSIBLE TOWARD
SUNRISE...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. FOG
MAY DEVELOP IN THESE AREAS AND ALONG THE LARGER RIVER VALLEYS WITH
MVFR TO PATCHY IFR CONDTIONS FORMING. AT THE MOMENT CONFIDENCE IS
LOW ON STRATUS FORMATION AGAIN TOWARD MORNING...BUT PERSISTANCE
WOULD LEAN TO REFORMATION BY MORNING...THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
MONITORED IN UPCOMING TERMINAL FORECASTS.

&&

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.

NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING

LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AS WELL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN WEDNESDAY IN
SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING IN NORTHEAST COLORADO
ALONG A SURFACE FRONT WILL BE THE SYSTEM TO INITIATE A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
HOWEVER...THE MOST UNSTABLE CONDITIONS IS LIKELY TO BE SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. ALTHOUGH THERE IS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE
LOCATION OF SEVERE WEATHER...THE LATEST FORECAST SIMULATIONS
INDICATE THAT IT WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 80
AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 83.
