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 Jul 25, 7:07 PM CDT, 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 25, 7:07 PM CDT, 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
707 PM CDT WED JUL 25 2012

.UPDATE...THE HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AS
TEMPERATURES HAVE DROPPED OFF FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A COLD
FRONT AND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 605 PM CDT WED JUL 25 2012/

AVIATION...00Z TAF. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED IN THE
VCNTY OF KGRI EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON AND THE BRUNT OF THE
CONVECTION HAS SHIFTED WELL SOUTH OF THE TERMINAL..ALTHOUGH SOME
WEAKER SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS WERE STILL OCCURING NORTH OF
KGRI. WILL CONTINUE TO INCLUDE TSTM POTENTIAL FOR THE TERMINAL FOR
THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE TAF...WITH DRY CONDITIONS AFTER DARK.
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND COLD FRONT HAS PASSED KGRI AND WINDS WILL
REMAIN FROM A NORTHERLY DIRECTION.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 323 PM CDT WED JUL 25 2012/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE
THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY.

CURRENT RADAR SHOWS SHOWERS IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA BUT THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE CHANGE IN LOCATION AND INTENSITY.
SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A COLD FRONT DRIFTING THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE WINDS ARE NOT STRONG ON EITHER SIDE OF THE
FRONT AND THE LOCATION IS SHOWING UP MAINLY ON RADAR FROM NEAR YORK
NEBRASKA TO PHILLIPSBURG KANSAS AT THIS TIME.

THE LOCATION OF THE FRONT WILL BE IMPORTANT AS THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EXPECT THE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP
BEHIND THE FRONT IN THE AREA WHERE DEW POINTS ARE POOLING THIS
AFTERNOON. THE TIMING FOR THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. THE FRONT SHOULD
CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE EAST/SOUTHEAST DURING THE EVENING AND
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA DURING THE EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BY LATE
TONIGHT THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE COMING TO AN END IN THE
NORTHWEST. SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS. A DEEP
INVERTED V SOUNDING WOULD INDICATE THAT THE MOST LIKELY EVENTS WOULD
BE GUSTY WINDS. THERE IS GOOD MUCAPE IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE
FORECAST AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING OF AROUND
5000 J/KG...BUT THERE IS WEAK SHEAR.

THE FRONT SHOULD BE TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY
THURSDAY MORNING AND SKIES SHOULD BE MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NOTABLY COOLER ON THURSDAY WITH READINGS ONLY
IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THERE WILL BE ON AND
OFF CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES...BUT STILL COOLER THAN THE RECENT HEAT WAVE.

GENERALLY NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. WITH THE
NORTHWEST FLOW THERE WILL BE SEVERAL MAINLY WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVES
THAT MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. THERE WILL BE ON AND OFF CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE
AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT...BUT THERE WILL BE OTHER CHANCES AS WELL.
THERE WILL BE A WAVE THAT MOVES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
THAT IS A LITTLE STRONGER. THERE IS ALSO A COLD FRONT THAT MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH A STRONGER UPPER LEVEL
WAVE. OTHERWISE THERE WILL JUST BE ON AND OFF CHANCES AND TIMING THE
INDIVIDUAL WAVES AS THEY COME THROUGH IS A CHALLENGE. ONE THING TO
NOTE IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION MOST OF
THE TIME IS SHOULD BE VERY SPOTTY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THAN RECENTLY WITH READINGS MOSTLY IN
THE 90S. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CLIMB IN TEMPERATURES FROM FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY THEN A BIT COOLER BEHIND THE NEXT COLD FRONT AGAIN.

.GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
