What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, May 7, 2:51 PM EDT, 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 251 PM EDT FRI MAY 7 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A DEVELOPING STORM OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS MORNING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES FRIDAY NIGHT...DRAGGING A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY MORNING. GUSTY WINDS AND STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW FOR THE WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE A CHC FOR SNOW ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS SATURDAY EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY MODERATE BY MID WEEK...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OFF THE EAST COAST. SOME SHOWERS COULD OCCUR AGAIN BY MID WEEK...AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT NEARS THE AREA. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON/... CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE/THICKEN FROM THE WEST THIS AFTN...ESP ACROSS W PA. WEAK BOUNDARY SLIDING NORTH WILL BRING LIGHT SHOWERS TO NORTHERN TIER EARLY...BUT MUCH OF THE DAY WILL DRY. COULD SEE A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE WEST AS STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES WITH INCREASING JET DYNAMICS AND THERMAL RIDGE. BUT MAIN ACTIVITY SHOULD HOLD OFF TIL THE EVENING HOURS. && .SHORT TERM /4 PM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... WHILE LOW LVL MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED...THE COMBINATION OF AN ABNORMALLY DEEP STORM SYSTEM...POSITION OF DRY PUNCH...THERMAL RIDGE...AND STRONG JET...ARE INDICATIONS THAT SOME RATHER STRONG STORMS MAY FORM FROM LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY MORNING ACROSS THE AREA. IN ADDITION...CONCERN ABOUT STRONG WINDS ALONG AND JUST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...GIVEN HOW STRONG THE WIND FIELDS WILL BE. THUS HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR SATURDAY FOR THE NW MTS. ANY STORMS WOULD ADD TO THE RISK OF DAMAGING WINDS. STRONG DRY PUNCH SHOULD RESULT IN MUCH OF THE DAY BEING ON THE DRY SIDE ONCE THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... THE LONG RANGE STARTS OFF UNSEASONABLY COOL. 12Z GEFS 850 TEMPS HOLDING AROUND -2SD FROM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AM...BOTTOMING OUT SUNDAY AM AROUND -6C ACROSS THE CWA. ASIDE FROM THE BELOW- NORMAL TEMPS...THE WX SHOULD BE FAIRLY BENIGN FROM SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. A SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...BRINGING AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND EVENTUALLY SOME PRECIP. 12Z OPERATIONAL RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF BOTH SHOW A DECENT SLUG OF MOISTURE SLIDING ACROSS THE REGION TUES INTO TUES NIGHT...AND 12Z GEFS SHOWS POPS INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THIS TIME. THIS SYSTEM DRAGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE MAY BRIEFLY NOSE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...ALLOWING FOR A TEMPORARY RESPITE FROM THE UNSETTLED WEATHER ON THURSDAY. HOWEVER...ANOTHER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK OR EARLY NEXT WEEKEND. && .AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... WIDESPREAD VFR WILL LAST AT LEAST THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAYTIME HOURS...BEFORE AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BRINGS A CHC OF SHRA/TSRA TO WESTERN AIRFIELDS BY THIS EVENING. AS OF NOW...WHILE A FEW SCATTERED TS CELLS MAY TEMPORARILY DROP CONDITIONS TO MVFR/IFR IN KBFD OVERNIGHT...IT APPEARS THE MAIN FEATURE OF INTEREST WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE WINDS GENERATED BEHIND SFC COLD FRONT. LIKELY ALL AIRFIELDS...ESPECIALLY KJST...KBFD...AND KAOO WILL SEE SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 20-25KT RANGE WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS OVER 30KTS OUT OF THE WSW FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. OUTLOOK... SAT-SUN...WINDY...SCT SHRA IN THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS. MON...NO SIG WX EXPECTED. TUE AND WED...RAIN/TSRA POSSIBLE. && .FIRE WEATHER... RECENT RAINS AND FOLIAGE GREEN UP HAVE DIMINISHED THE OVERALL FIRE DANGER TO LOW OVER MOST OF THE AREA SO NO HEADLINES PLANNED AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER...ABNORMALLY STRONG WINDS THIS WEEKEND ARE OF CONCERN. LATER SHIFTS CAN MONITOR THE SITUATION. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
