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, 2.3 hours before the alert went out and 193 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 8, 6:11 PM CDT, 3 hours 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
611 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2011

.AVIATION...00Z TAF. THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE EARLY EVENING AS AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT
COVERAGE WILL BECOME GREAT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS ARE KGRI...SO KEPT IT OUT OF THE LATEST TAF. MOST OF
THE TAF PERIOD SHOULD BE DOMINATED BY PASSING MID AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS...WITH A CEILING POSSIBLE AT TIMES. WINDS SHOULD BE FAIRLY
LIGHT THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 257 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2011/

SHORT TERM...THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY. PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS
CENTER UPON CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION. MORNING UPPER AIR ANALYSIS
INDICATES QUASI-ZONAL TO NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET AXIS POSITIONED OVERHEAD OUR CWA
IN THE 70-90KT RANGE. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES A MID LEVEL
SHORT WAVE PUSHING INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...WITH ANOTHER MID
LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVING INTO NORTHWESTERN NEBRASKA AND A MID LEVEL
LOW POSITIONED OVER SOUTHERN MANITOBA AND MOVING SOUTHEAST. AT THE
SURFACE A WEAKENING SURFACE FRONT JUST SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 6 HAS MORE
OR LESS WEAKENED INTO A TROUGH...WITH ANOTHER SURFACE FRONT NOTED
OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN KANSAS AND NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.

SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE APPROACHING MID
LEVEL SHORT WAVE WILL PUSH ACROSS NORTH/NORTHEASTERN NEBRASKA
LATER TONIGHT...WITH THE TROUGH AXIS LIKELY CLEARING THE AREA DURING
THE 00Z-03Z TIME FRAME. APPRECIABLE KINEMATIC FORCING WILL REMAIN
LIMITED UNTIL THERMAL ADVECTION AND DPVA AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING
MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE NEARS THE AREA. EVEN THEN AM NOT OVERLY
EXCITED REGARDING LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING PRECIPITATION
CHANCES WITH THE BULK OF THE OMEGA REMAINING NORTHEAST OF OUR
CWA...BUT WITH ENOUGH AFTERNOON HEATING AND PERHAPS SOME
ADDITIONAL FORCING NEAR THE SURFACE TROUGH OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
SHOULD THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT BE REALIZED...0-1KM MLCAPE VALUES
OF 1500-2000J/KG WILL LIKELY BE WAITING...WITH DEEP LAYER BULK
SHEAR VALUES GENERALLY IN THE 40-45KT RANGE. GIVEN ALL THIS...WILL
CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING.

PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE NEXT TO NIL ONCE THE MID LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS CLEARS THE AREA...THUS KEPT 06Z-12Z TUESDAY DRY. MUCH
OF THE CWA SHOULD REMAIN DRY DURING THE DAY TUESDAY AS WELL AS
SURFACE RIDGING INFILTRATES THE AREA THUS ALLOWING FOR DECREASING
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LEVELS AND A CONTINUED LACK OF KINEMATIC
FORCING. SHORT TERM GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL MOVE
EAST OF THE AREA BY LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON THUS ALLOWING FOR LOW
LEVEL RETURN FLOW ALONG WITH RESULTANT LOW LEVEL THERMAL ADVECTION
AND ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE. THIS LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW...WORKING IN
CONCERT WITH AN APPROACHING MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE FROM THE
NORTHWEST...WILL LIKELY RESULT IN PRECIPITATION ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. QPF FIELDS FROM THE
SREF MEAN...NAM...EC AND OPERATIONAL GFS ALL SUGGEST BETWEEN A
HALF INCH AND ONE INCH OF RAINFALL WILL BE OBSERVED ACROSS THE
AREA...WITH THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION EXPECTED ACROSS OUR
SOUTHWEST WHERE THE NOSE OF A 40-50KT LLJ WILL LIKELY PROMOTE
ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION AND CONVERGENCE FOR ADDITIONAL
LIFT AND RESULTANT HEAVIER PRECIPITATION.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
PUSH SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS ON
WEDNESDAY...WITH 850 MB TEMPS FORECAST TO DROP 6-8C BEHIND THIS
FRONT BY AFTERNOON. WITH THIS COOLER AND UNSETTLED AIRMASS IN
PLACE...EXPECT WEDNESDAY TO BE AN UNSEASONABLY COOL DAY ACROSS THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WITH AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE 10
DEGREES OR MORE BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. IN ADDITION TO
COOLER TEMPS...EXPECT SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER AND A GOOD CHANCE OF
SHOWERS DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY...AS THERE IS EXPECTED TO BE
LINGERING SHOWER ACTIVITY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AND TUESDAY NIGHTS
UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE...ALONG WITH ANOTHER QUICK PASSING UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE EXPECTED TO TRACK ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

THIS PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN...WHICH HAS RESULTED IN
PERIODIC CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THE PAST FEW
DAYS...IS THEN EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY BEFORE
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ATTEMPTS TO BUILD ACROSS THE
ROCKIES...HELPING TO DIMINISH SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
SOMEWHAT OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. KEPT DAYTIME PERIODS FOR BOTH
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY DRY AND SEASONABLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA...BUT INCLUDED LOW POPS DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FOR THE
SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR UNCERTAINTY IN
LATEST NUMERICAL GUIDANCE.
