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 Hastings, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 7, 6:11 PM CDT, 4 hours 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 6:11 PM CDT, 4 hours 47 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
611 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2011

.AVIATION...00Z TAF. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS PARTS OF
WESTERN NEBRASKA INTO SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA. THESE ARE EXPECTED
TO MOVE EAST/SOUTHEAST AND COULD EVENTUALLY REACH KGRI LATER THIS
EVENING. WILL CARRY A TEMPO GROUP FOR THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN 04Z-
07Z...AND ADJUST AS NECESSARY. ONCE THE THUNDERSTORMS END...18Z
NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT THERE COULD BE SOME LIGHT FOG AT
KGRI...AND THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE LATEST SREF VISIBILITY
PROBABILITIES. ONCE THE FOG EXITS...THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
SHOULD BE VFR. WINDS WILL INITIALLY BE FROM THE
EAST/SOUTHEAST...BUT WILL SWITCH TO THE NORTH BEHIND A PASSING
FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 315 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2011/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS
WILL BE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS.

CURRENT RADAR TRENDS HAVE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. SATELLITE SHOWS CLOUDS
CLEARING OUT OF MOST OF THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH ALL
OF THE CONVECTION IN THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS THERE ARE MANY WEAK
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND THE MAIN SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY IS SOMEWHAT
DIFFICULT TO FIND WITH THE CONVECTION. THE LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE
SHOWS SOME CONVECTION STARTING IN THE BLACK HILLS AND IN THE
PANHANDLE OF NEBRASKA.

MODELS HAVE AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT WITH
A WEAKER WAVE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A SURFACE BOUNDARY HAS
SETTLED IN CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TO THE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. ANOTHER BOUNDARY
ON THE HIGH PLAINS WILL BE DRIFTING TO THE EAST TONIGHT. THIS WILL
BE WHERE THE CONVECTION STARTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND THEN
WILL MOVE TO THE EAST INTO THE AREA LATER TONIGHT. MODELS SUGGEST A
MCS WILL DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE AND THEN
MOVE TO THE EAST/SOUTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS
WOULD BE MOVING INTO THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE EVENING HOURS.
THERE IS ENOUGH MOISTURE WITH THIS THAT THERE COULD BE SOME FAIRLY
HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS PLENTY OF
CAPE TO WORK WITH THIS EVENING AND WITH THE FAIRLY DECENT SHEAR
THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED TORNADO POSSIBLE.

THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY MORNING...BUT MODELS
HAVE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS REGARDING THIS. THE NAM AND SREF ARE MAINLY
DRY BUT THE GFS LINGERS PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. WILL KEEP
SOME LOW POPS ON THE IDEA THAT THERE COULD BE SOME LINGERING
CONVECTION. THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVES INTO THE AREA MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IT IS SLIGHTLY WEAKER...BUT WITH THE MOISTURE
THAT REMAINS AVAILABLE ACROSS THE AREA EXPECT THERE WILL BE SOME
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP. THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE END DURING
THE EVENING.

LONG TERM...STARTING 12Z TUESDAY. PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS CENTER
UPON CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION...SEVERE WEATHER...AND TEMPERATURE
TRENDS. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN
FROM THE NORTHWEST FOR THE MOST PART DURING THE LONG TERM FORECAST
PERIOD. PRECIPITATION CHANCES APPEAR FAIRLY LIMITED TUESDAY WITH
LITTLE TO NO KINEMATIC FORCING TO SPEAK OF...ALTHOUGH THE
NAM...OPERATIONAL GFS AND EC ALL SUGGEST A SMALL SCALE
PERTURBATION COULD SNEAK INTO OUR AREA LATE IN THE DAY AND WITH
ENOUGH LOW LEVEL WARMING...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CANNOT
BE RULED OUT. BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION ENTER THE PICTURE
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW ESTABLISHES
ITSELF ON THE BACK SIDE OF A SURFACE RIDGE PUSHING OUT OF THE
AREA. LOW LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION DUE TO RETURN FLOW AND AN
INCREASING LLJ BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...AS WELL AS WEAK OMEGA
AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SMALL SCALE PERTURBATIONS...WILL ALL
AID IN PRECIPITATION PRODUCTION ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. MUCH OF THE SAME IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY BEFORE A LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA
FRIDAY...BRINGING ONE MORE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION BEFORE DRIER
AND COOLER WEATHER INFILTRATE THE AREA LATE FRIDAY ONWARD.

GUIDANCE SUGGESTS LIMITED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY ONLY
PROVIDE AFTERNOON 0-1KM MLCAPE VALUES OF 500-800J/KG DURING THE DAY
TUESDAY. THAT BEING SAID...THE UPPER LEVEL JET AXIS IS ALSO EXPECTED
TO POSITION ITSELF OVER THE REGION TUESDAY THUS PROMOTING DEEP LAYER
SHER VALUES OF 40-50KTS. THE SHEAR WILL LIKELY COMPENSATE FOR THE
RELATIVELY LOW VALUES OF INSTABILITY AND AS A RESULT...WILL CONTINUE
MENTIONING A THREAT FOR ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR TUESDAY.
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN WEDNESDAY ONWARD WILL THEN INCREASE THE
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THROUGH FROPA ON FRIDAY...THUS WILL ALSO
CONTINUE SEVERE WEATHER MENTION WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

SLIGHTLY COOLER WEATHER IS STILL EXPECTED TUESDAY AS A WEAK SURFACE
RIDGE SETTLES INTO THE AREA. WEDNESDAY WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
BE WARMER AS THE SURFACE RIDGE PUSHES EAST OF THE AREA...BUT INCREASED
LOW LEVEL THERMAL ADVECTION AND RESULTANT ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER AND PERHAPS PROLONGED
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. WENT AHEAD AND CUT WEDNESDAY DIURNALS
DOWN TO AROUND 15 DEGREES ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS. WARMER WEATHER SHOULD THEN BE REALIZED THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER
ROUND OF COOLER AIR MOVES IN POST-FROPA FRIDAY ONWARD.
