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 Apr 14, 6:38 PM CDT, 3 hours 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 6:38 PM CDT, 3 hours 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE 638 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012 .AVIATION...00Z TAF. TOUGH AVIATION FORECAST THIS PERIOD. THUNDERSTORMS TO THE WEST WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE EN-RODES INTO THE KGRI AREA LATE THIS EVENING CAUSING MFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES. BUT COVERAGE MAY BE LIMITED IN NATURE...AND STILL SOME CHANCE THEY MISS KGRI ALL TOGETHER. EVENTUALLY...SOME LATE NIGHT CLEAR WILL TAKE OVER AS ANY STORMS MOVE EAST...AND IFR CONDITIONS WILL SETTLE. ON SUNDAY...WRAP AROUND CLOUDS AND COLD FRONT FROM APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL CAUSE VERY STRONG WINDS TO DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST...AND INCREASING MID CLOUDS. MAY BE SHOWER IN THERE BUT TOO EARLY TO REALLY PUT IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 420 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012/ SHORT TERM...THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE OBVIOUS CONCERN IS THE EVOLUTION OF SEVERE CONVECTION OVER AT LEAST THE NEXT 6-8 HOURS. IN SHORT...THE FIRST ROUND OF STRONG-SEVERE CONVECTION IS IN THE PROCESS OF EXITING FAR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...ESSENTIALLY BRINGING ROUND 1 TO A CLOSE. THESE STORMS RESULTED IN AT LEAST 3 UNCONFIRMED BRIEF TORNADOES NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE STATE LINE...ALONG WITH SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES. THE CONCERN NOW SHIFTS BACK TO THE FAR WESTERN-SOUTHWESTERN CWA...AS CLEARING SKIES ARE RAPIDLY DESTABILIZING AREAS CLOSER TO THE SURFACE DRYLINE FROM SOUTHWEST NEB DOWN ACROSS WESTERN KS. AS A RESULT...WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS EVENT IS FAR FROM BEING OVER. PARAMETERS FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ARE VERY FAVORABLE FOR HIGH-END SEVERE...AS THE 110+KT UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK CURRENTLY MAKING ITS WAY INTO FAR WESTERN KS OVERSPREADS THE AREA. SUPERCELLS ARE LIKELY WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF AT LEAST 50KT...AND WITH LOW LEVEL 0-1KM BULK SHEAR OF 30-40 KT. 0-1KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE AS WELL...WITH 300-400+ M2/S2 ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...WHICH COULD ONLY INCREASE INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS. FOLLOWING CONVECTIVE REFLECTIVITY PROGS FROM LATEST HRRR...ALONG WITH 12Z RUNS OF 4KM WRF-NMM...ALONG WITH LATEST RUC FIELDS...SIGNIFICANT SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE SURGING NORTHEAST INTO THE CWA THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WITH LOW LEVEL CAPE IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG PERSISTING WELL INTO THE EVENING. HRRR SUGGESTS A COMBINATION OF DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AND QUASI LINEAR STORM MODES WILL CONTINUE WELL INTO THE EVENING...WITH SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA LIKELY MOST UNDER THE GUN. ALTHOUGH HYDRO ISSUES SEEM TO BE MINIMAL SO FAR...ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN ACROSS ROUGHLY THE SOUTHEAST 1/3 OF THE CWA ON TOP OF WHAT FELL EARLIER COULD LEAD TO SOME ISSUES. SO FAR...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR KS ZONES THROUGH 00Z IS NOT PANNING OUT VERY WELL WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY INTERFERING...AND ALTHOUGH NEITHER AN IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION OR AN EXTENSION IS NOT PLANNED AT THIS TIME...WILL PROBABLY SEE STRONGER SOUTHERLY WINDS ACTUALLY PICK UP OVERNIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS TO AROUND 987MB IN THE NORTHEAST CO/SOUTHWEST NEB AREA. SPEAKING OF WIND...A GOOD CHUNK OF THE CWA WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY NEED AN ADVISORY DURING THE DAY SUNDAY...AS STRONG WINDS INITIALLY ARE FROM THE SOUTH...BUT THEN FROM THE WEST AND NORTHWEST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. INSERTED A STRONG WIND MENTION INTO THE GRIDS AND HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...BUT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON TODAY WILL DEFER TO MIDNIGHT SHIFT TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THE NEXT WIND HEADLINE...WHICH WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE MORE ROBUST THAN THE CURRENT ONE. AS FOR STORM CHANCES LATE TONIGHT...ONLY HAVE 20-30 PERCENT CHANCES POST-06Z...AND ALTHOUGH THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CWA SHOULD BE FREE OF SEVERE WEATHER BY THEN...COULD FORESEE A MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS HANGING ON IN NORTHERN ZONES LATE INTO THE NIGHT. SHOULD BE A LULL IN PRECIPITATION ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AS THE SYNOPTIC DRY SLOT SURGES IN...BUT RAIN SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD INTO THE CWA FROM WEST TO EAST WRAPPING AROUND THE DEPARTING LOW. THE COMBINATION OF ANY RAIN SHOWERS WITH THE STRONG WINDS WILL MAKE THE FORECAST HIGHS IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S FEEL COLDER THAN IT MAY SOUND. LONG TERM...SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY. OVERALL FEW NOTABLE CHANGES MADE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST...WITH FORECAST BASED ON A GENERAL BLEND OF THE 12Z ECMWF/GFS. STARTING OFF RIGHT AWAY SUNDAY EVENING...A WIND ADVISORY MAY CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS ESPECIALLY IN NORTHEAST AREAS...BUT LIKELY NOT BEYOND 03Z AS THE STRONG SURFACE LOW PULLS GRADUALLY AWAY ACROSS SOUTHERN MN. LINGERED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT SHOWERS INTO THE EVENING HOURS MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...BUT DRY AFTER MIDNIGHT. HEADING INTO MONDAY...LEFT THE MORNING DRY BUT HAVE 20-30 PERCENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON AS A TRAILING SHORTWAVE TRACKS OUT OF SOUTHERN SD INTO NORTHERN NEB. NEXT SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ARRIVES IN NORTHEAST COUNTIES FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT QUICK MOVING WAVE PASSES BY IN QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. A FAIRLY ACTIVE UPPER PATTERN CONTINUES INTO THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK...AND MAINTAINED 20-30 PERCENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/STORMS FROM THURS INTO THURS NIGHT AS THE NEXT WAVE CROSSES THE REGION. AT THIS TIME...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT APPEARS LOW. BEYOND THURSDAY NIGHT...MAINTAINED A DRY FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY AS THERE ARE SUGGESTIONS OF AT LEAST WEAK SHORTWAVE RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE PLAINS. TEMPERATURE WISE THROUGH THE EXTENDED...HAVE MOST DAYS IN THE LOW-MID 70S FOR HIGHS...EXCEPT FOR COOLER UPPER 50S-LOW 60S ON MONDAY. AS FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS...COULD EVENTUALLY NEED TO INSERT SOME FROST WORDING FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND/OR MONDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID-UPPER 30S...ALTHOUGH BREEZES MAY REMAIN JUST STRONG ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE MUCH DEVELOPMENT. && .GID WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
