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 Goodland, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 28, 6:07 PM MDT, 2 hours 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 6:07 PM MDT, 2 hours 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
607 PM MDT THU JUN 28 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 554 PM MDT THU JUN 28 2012

ISSUED AN UPDATE TO FILL IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AREA WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. FRONT IS IN THAT AREA AND
CURRENT RADAR TRENDS SHOW INCREASING DEVELOPMENT. LATEST RUC/NAM
AGREE WITH THAT TREND. ALSO DUE TO MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER
FROM THUNDERSTORMS TO OUR WEST...CLOUD COVER IS MORE THAN WHAT WAS
IN THE GRIDS. SO INCREASED CLOUD COVER THIS EVENING.
OTHERWISE...JUST ADJUSTED HOURLY GRIDS BASED ON LATEST TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 1102 AM MDT THU JUN 28 2012

HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT.

TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER THAN YESTERDAY...ALTHOUGH STILL
HOT...NORTH OF A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY WITH CONTINUED VERY HOT
TEMPERATURES SOUTH OF THE FRONT. EXPECT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE ROCKIES IN THE ELEVATED
MOISTURE PLUME THAT EXTENDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST U.S. AND IS
CIRCULATING AROUND THE LARGE HIGH PRESSURE AREA OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. EXPECT ANY THUNDERSTORMS TO DIMINISH BY LATE EVENING WITH
VERY HOT TEMPERATURES AND ANOTHER ROUND OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 252 PM MDT THU JUN 28 2012

A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL CREST THE TOP OF THE RIDGE ON
SATURDAY. COULD PROVIDE ENOUGH FORCING FOR ASCENT TO GENERATE
AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OF AN ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED NATURE. INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS INDICATIVE OF STRONG WIND
GUST POTENTIAL WILL PRESENT THE GREATEST THREAT WITH ANY STORM
WHICH DOES DEVELOP.

DESPITE THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION AND ASSOCIATED CLOUD
COVER...TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY WILL ONCE AGAIN EXCEED THE
CENTURY MARK. IN FACT...100+ DEGREE TEMPS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH
THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AT MOST LOCATIONS. ISOLATED
CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE MOST AFTERNOONS ACROSS FAR WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA BUT NOT SEEING A STRONG SIGNAL THAT
THESE STORMS WILL PUSH VERY FAR INTO THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 554 PM MDT THU JUN 28 2012

MAIN CONCERN IS WHERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE. THUNDERSTORMS ARE
DEVELOPING AND INCREASING ALONG FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE AREA AND OVER EASTERN COLORADO. THE BEST CHANCE
EARLY ON WILL BE AT KGLD AND THEN AT KMCK AS THE EVENING
PROGRESSES. STORMS ARE VERY HIGH BASED WITH LITTLE RAINFALL AND
VISIBILITY RESTRICTION EXPECTED. THEY WILL ALSO CAUSE GUSTY AND
ERRATIC WINDS. OTHERWISE...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE AWAY
FROM STORMS.

&&

.GLD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
KS...HEAT ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM CDT FRIDAY FOR KSZ002-003-014-015-028-
