What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Jun 20, 12:41 PM CDT, 2 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 12:41 PM CDT, 2 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
1241 PM CDT MON JUN 20 2011

.AVIATION...18Z TAF. PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN FOR THIS TAF PERIOD
LIES WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA AND
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO MAKE ITS WAY ONTO THE PLAINS TODAY...AND IS EXPECTED
TO BE THE FORCING BEHIND ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS. AT THE
SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY SITS OVER NC KS...WITH A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY EXTENDING EAST NEAR THE NE/KS BORDER AND ANOTHER NORTH
THROUGH THE GENERAL AREA OF THE TERMINAL. THIS IS MAKING THE WIND
FORECAST TRICKY...BUT AM EXPECTING EASTERLY WINDS TO REMAIN THE
CASE THIS AFTERNOON...GRADUALLY GETTING A MORE NORTHERLY COMPONENT
THIS EVENING...BEFORE BECOMING NORTHWESTERLY TONIGHT. EXACT
STARTING TIME/POINT FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY A LITTLE DIFFICULT
TO NAIL DOWN...BUT AM EXPECTING THE BETTER CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT THE TERMINAL AREA TO COME IN THE MID
AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING HOURS. OBVIOUSLY ONCE ACTIVITY ACTUALLY
STARTS THE TIMES MAY HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 903 AM CDT MON JUN 20 2011/

UPDATE...FORECAST UPDATED TO ADD SOME POPS IN FOR THIS MORNING
TO THE SOUTHWESTERN CWA AND FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 522
VALID THROUGH 3 PM.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 558 AM CDT MON JUN 20 2011/

DISCUSSION...A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES THIS MORNING IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEASTWARD LATER
TODAY...BRINGING YET ANOTHER MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
STRONG DYNAMICAL FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW IS
ALREADY FIRING OFF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO
THIS MORNING...WITH THIS CONVECTION EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AND
SPREAD EASTWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WITH THE SURFACE LOW
ALSO EXPECT TO DEVELOP AND TRACK ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...CONDITIONS WILL BE VERY FAVORABLE FOR
ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER...AND ONCE AGAIN INTRODUCED SEVERE
WORDING INTO THE FORECAST FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS...WHEN THIS POTENTIAL APPEARS GREATEST. ADDITIONALLY...
DECIDED TO HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES IN THE HWO FOR
THE AREAS UNDER A MODERATE RISK FROM SPC...WHERE BEST INSTABILITY
AND SHEAR ARE EXPECTED TO BE LATER TODAY.

WHILE SEVERE WEATHER IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR TORRENTIAL RAINFALL
WITH THESE STORMS...AND LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY ALSO BECOME A
CONCERN BY THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING HOURS.

FOR TUESDAY...EXPECT MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO RESULT IN ONE MORE DAY OF UNSETTLED
WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION...AS WELL AS RESULT IN BREEZY NORTHERLY
WINDS...AS A FAIRLY TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS EXPECTED
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM. HOWEVER...ONCE THIS SYSTEM LIFTS INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
ESTABLISH ITSELF ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND HIGH PLAINS FOR THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK...HELPING TO DIMINISH RAINFALL CHANCES WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY.
