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

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 3 storm reports to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 22 minutes after it went out.

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, 0.7 hours before the alert went out and 133 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, Jun 14, 6:19 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
619 PM CDT TUE JUN 14 2011

.AVIATION...00Z TAF. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS
AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS
THE REGION. THOUGH AN ISOLATED STORM NEAR KGRI CAN NOT BE RULED
OUT...THINK THE ODDS ARE THAT THE TERMINAL LOCATION WILL REMAIN
DRY...SO WILL NOT CARRY ANY PRECIPITATION. TIME CROSS SECTIONS
SUGGEST A PRIMARILY VFR PERIOD FOR KGRI...HOWEVER THE 14.21Z GFS
LAV GUIDANCE SHOWS SOME CHANCE OF LIGHT FOG AT KGRI LATE TONIGHT
INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE 14.18Z NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS DO NOT
REALLY SHOW MUCH FOG POTENTIAL...AND THE 14.15Z SREF PROBABILITIES
FOR VISIBILITIES LESS THAN 3SM ARE ALMOST NIL. WILL KEEP THE FOG
OUT OF THE FORECAST...BUT WILL WATCH THE TRENDS. WINDS WILL BE
FAIRLY LIGHT THROUGH THE PERIOD AND GENERALLY HAVE A WESTERLY
COMPONENT TO THEM.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 340 PM CDT TUE JUN 14 2011/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY. BIGGEST FORECAST
CHALLENGES INCLUDE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION THIS EVENING WITH THE
PASSING MID-LEVEL WAVE.

ENSEMBLES INDICATE A DECENT SHOT AT A LITTLE RAIN WITH THE WAVE
MOVING THROUGH DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. ANY STORMS
THAT DEVELOP WITH THE WAY COULD BE STRONG AS INSTABILITY INCREASES.
WIND SHEAR WILL BE MARGINAL. CIN STILL EXISTS OVER A GOOD EASTERN
TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA...SO THIS WOULD HAVE TO ERODE FOR STRONGER
ACTIVITY. CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S FOR
MUCH OF THE AREA...AND GETTING CLOSER TO THAT THIS AFTERNOON AS
INSOLATION CONTINUES. THERE IS GENERAL AGREEMENT OF DRYING OUT BY
LATE EVENING...WITH ENSEMBLES IN AGREEMENT WITH OPERATIONAL MODELS.
SHORT STORY IS THAT RIDGING WILL DOMINATE THE SHORT TERM PAST THE
EARLY EVENING. BASICALLY A TEMPERATURES FORECAST HERE...AND WILL
GENERALLY MAKE MINOR MODIFICATIONS WITH THE AID OF VERIFICATION
DATA.

HOLDING ON TO SLIGHT CHANCES OF RAIN FOR LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH
THE A LOW-LEVEL JET DEVELOPING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF GOOD THETA E
ADVECTION AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. ENSEMBLES ARE NOT THAT
IMPRESSIVE...SO EVEN THOUGH OPERATIONAL MODELS ARE PEGGING US WITH
COPIOUS QPF...I WILL NOT GET THAT EXCITED OVER THIS QPF AS OF YET.

LONG TERM...STARTING 12Z THURSDAY. PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS
CENTER UPON CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION AS WELL AS SEVERE WEATHER.
LONG TERM MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THE MID AND UPPER
LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN FROM THE WEST/SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING PERSIST OVER THE SOUTHERN
CONUS...AND TROUGHING CONTINUES OVER THE WEST.

LEE SIDE SURFACE TROUGHING ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE...ALONG WITH
SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS OVER EASTERN COLORADO...WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A
WARM FRONT POSITIONING ITSELF OVER NORTHERN KANSAS OR SOUTHERN NEBRASKA.
RESULTANT LOW LEVEL WAA AS WELL AS ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND SATURATION
ALONG THE 315K AND 320K SURFACES SHOULD RESULT IN SOME SCATTERED
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE CWA. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THE BULK OF
THE ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AND SATURATION WILL OCCUR OVER OUR
NORTHEASTERN CWA AND WILL CONCENTRATE THE HIGHEST POPS FOR THURSDAY
ACROSS OUR NORTHEAST AS A RESULT.

A 60KT LLJ IS THEN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS...WITH
THE NOSE OF THIS LLJ PUSHING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THUS ALLOWING
FOR AN AREA OF LOCALLY MAXIMIZED LOW LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION ACROSS
PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. WENT AHEAD AND KEPT POPS GOING
ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING AS A
RESULT...WITH THE HIGHEST POPS RELEGATED TO OUR NORTH AND EAST NEAR
AND JUST AHEAD OF THE LLJ NOSE.

SEVERAL SMALL SCALE MID LEVEL PERTURBATIONS ARE FORECAST TO PUSH
OVER THE AREA WITHIN THE MEAN MID LEVEL FLOW FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. IN
ADDITION...A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO MEANDER BACK AND
FORTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS DURING THIS SAME TIME PERIOD. IT IS
NOT CLEAR AT THIS TIME WHETHER OR NOT THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN
FARTHER SOUTH OVER KANSAS...OR WORK ITS WAY NORTH INTO
NEBRASKA...NOR IS IT CLEAR WHETHER OR NOT ENOUGH MID LEVEL OMEGA
WILL BE PRESENT WITH ANY OF THE SMALL SCALE PERTURBATIONS TO PROMOTE
PRECIPITATION PRODUCTION. WITH ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING
IN PLACE HOWEVER...WILL GO AHEAD AND STAY THE COURSE BY KEEPING
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING ACROSS THE CWA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

A 60-70KT LLJ IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...WITH THE BULK OF LOW LEVEL THETA-E
ADVECTION EXPECTED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. WILL GO AHEAD AND
MAINTAIN POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY
MORNING...WITH THE HIGHEST POPS RELEGATED NORTH OF HIGHWAY 6.

LONG TERM MODEL GUIDANCE THEN SUGGESTS THE LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE
WESTERN CONUS WILL PUSH EASTWARD INTO THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN RANGE EARLY
NEXT WEEK...WITH PLENTY OF MID LEVEL WAA AND DPVA RESULTING IN
INCREASED OMEGA ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. GIVEN THE INCREASINGLY
ACTIVE PATTERN HEADING INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK...WILL GO
AHEAD AND KEEP POPS GOING FOR THE ENTIRE CWA TO FINISH OUT THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD.

ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL PROMOTE 0-1KM MLCAPE VALUES NEAR
4000J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. FORECAST
PROXIMITY SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A CAPPING INVERSION SHOULD KEEP
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ELEVATED THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. THAT BEING
SAID...THERE ARE INDICATIONS...ESPECIALLY FROM THE OPERATIONAL
GFS...THAT MID LEVEL SATURATION COULD DRASTICALLY DECREASE THE
ELEVATED WARM LAYER BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON THUS RESULTING IN SEVERE
CONVECTION. WILL GO AHEAD AND INCLUDE SEVERE WORDING IN THE HWO FOR
THURSDAY AS A RESULT. NOT COMPLETELY SOLD ON THE SEVERE POTENTIAL
THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING AS FORECAST PROXIMITY SOUNDINGS FROM
THE OPERATIONAL GFS SUGGEST OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE
ROOTED NO LOWER THAN 700MB...IN WHICH CASE AROUND 1000J/KG ELEVATED
CAPE WOULD BE UTILIZED. NOT SURE WELL SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF LARGE
HAIL PRODUCTION WITH THESE RELATIVELY LOW INSTABILITY VALUES AND
DEEP LAYER BULK SHEAR NEAR 30KTS. THAT BEING SAID...IF UPDRAFTS CAN
SOME HOW BECOME ROOTED CLOSER TO 800MB...CLOSER TO 2000J/KG OF
ELEVATED INSTABILITY WOULD BE UTILIZED WHICH COULD RESULT IN LARGE
HAIL PRODUCTION. CURRENT THINKING IS 800MB MAY BE A BIT OF A
STRETCH...BUT SEVERE WORDING IS ALREADY IN THE HWO FOR THURSDAY
NIGHT AND AIR PARCELS WOULD NOT HAVE TO DIG MUCH DEEPER BEFORE
REALIZING MUCH HIGHER INSTABILITY VALUES. WILL KEEP THE SEVERE
WORDING GOING IN THE HWO FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AS RESULT. ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL KEEP 0-1KM MLCAPE VALUES NEAR 4000J/KG FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY AND ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE NOT ALL THAT
GREAT ON ANY ONE OF THESE DAYS...WILL NEED TO TO CONTINUE MENTIONING
THE SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBILITY IN THE HWO JUST IN CASE CONVECTIVE
INITIATION IS REALIZED.
