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 North Platte, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 22, 5:47 PM MDT, 2 hours 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 5:47 PM MDT, 2 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
647 PM CDT FRI JUN 22 2012
.AVIATION...
VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS IN WESTERN NEBRASKA INDICATE THAT...IF
A STORM COULD BE INITIATED...HAIL AND GUSTY WIND WOULD BE LIKELY.
EARLY THIS EVENING...THERE IS A BOUNDARY FROM EXTREME SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA ABOUT SNY TO NEAR DEN WHERE A STRONG THUNDERSTORM IS MOVING
INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. THIS STORM IS EXPECTED AFFECT THE AREA
BETWEEN AIA AND OGA 01-03Z. OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA...THE PROBABILITY
OF STORMS AT ANY SINGLE POINT IS EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN 30 PERCENT
AND CONFIDENCE IS LOW. THEREFORE...THUNDER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE
TERMINAL FORECASTS FOR LBF OR VTN.
WIND WILL CONTINUE 140-180 AT 15-25G25-35KT EARLY THIS EVENING
AND IS LIKELY TO DECREASE TO 10-15G20-30KT.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 404 PM CDT FRI JUN 22 2012/
DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE FORECAST IS STORM CHANCES TONIGHT...THEN
ANOMALOUS HIGH TEMPERATURES.
AT 20Z...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A STRONG LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER
THE EASTERN PACIFIC WITH ANOTHER CENTERED OVER HUDSON BAY. THIS LED
TO AN AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WITH RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL
CONUS AND INTO WESTERN CANADA. ALSO SEEN WAS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
PUSHING OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES...INTO WYOMING. AT THE
SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED ON THE LEE SIDE OF THE ROCKIES
FROM NORTHERN WYOMING INTO EASTERN COLORADO. A STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENT AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM CAUSED BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA TODAY.
THERE ARE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT...MAINLY OVER THE PANHANDLE THEN OVER NORTHERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA. AS THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER WYOMING TOPS THE
RIDGE AND PASSES ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA AND NORTHERN NEBRASKA...COULD
STILL GET STORMS TO INITIATE OVER EASTERN WYOMING AND NORTHEAST
COLORADO THIS EVENING WHICH WOULD PROGRESS EAST INTO THE PANHANDLE
AND FAR WESTERN NEBRASKA. THERE IS PLENTY OF INSTABILITY WITH
SURFACE BASED CAPE OF 2K TO 3K OVER THESE AREAS. IN
ADDITION...DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS AT 50 TO 60KTS. THE QUESTION WILL BE IF THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT TO OVERCOME THE WARM AIR
ALOFT AND BREAK THE CAP. IF STORMS ARE ABLE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES
FAR ENOUGH EAST THERE IS A CHANCE FOR A FEW ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS
INTO THE LBF FORECAST AREA. BELIEVE CHANCES DECREASE GOING EAST
AND DON/T ANTICIPATE MUCH OF A THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS EAST OF
HIGHWAY 61. LATER TONIGHT...THE LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS WITH THE
PRIMARY FOCUS OVER THE WARM FRONT WHICH WILL BE NEARLY ALONG THE
SOUTH DAKOTA/NEBRASKA BORDER. THEREFORE BELIEVE THE HIGHEST
CHANCES FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP TONIGHT WILL BE INTO SOUTH
DAKOTA AND POSSIBLY FAR NORTHERN NEBRASKA. IT THEN LOOKS LIKE THE
COMPLEX WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN SOUTHEAST BRINGING A BIT BETTER
CHANCES TO THE FAR NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
WINDS WILL STAY BREEZY THROUGH THE EVENING UNTIL THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES LATER TONIGHT.
FOCUS THEN TURNS TO TEMPERATURES AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS PERIOD WITH A DRY FORECAST CONTINUING. NEAR OR
RECORD WARMTH IS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE CONTINUES TO AMPLIFY AND BRING WELL ANOMALOUSLY WARM
TEMPERATURES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. FOR SATURDAY...850MB
TEMPERATURES WILL VARY FROM THE MID 20S CELSIUS ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST COUNTIES TO AROUND 35C IN THE SOUTHWEST. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW DEEP MIXING TO POSSIBLY 650MB SATURDAY AFTERNOON SO
SHOULD EASILY MIX DOWN THE VERY WARM AIR ALOFT TO REACH THE UPPER
90S. THEN CONSIDERING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...DOWNSLOPE WINDS IN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA AS WELL AS THE DRY CONDITIONS...HAVE GOOD
CONFIDENCE IN MODEL SOLUTIONS THAT ARE INDICATING HIGHS EXCEEDING
100 DEGREES FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. CURRENT FORECAST DOES
HAVE RECORD HIGHS FOR BOTH KLBF AND KIML 105 AND 107 RESPECTIVELY
/PREVIOUS RECORDS WERE 104 AND 105/. ALSO OF NOTE...THE ALL-TIME
RECORD HIGH FOR KLBF FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE IS 107
DEGREES...WHICH IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLY TOMORROW. DID RAISE HIGHS A
FEW DEGREES IN MOST LOCATIONS...WITH CONFIDENCE INCREASED AS SREF
PLUMES SHOWED ALL MEMBERS ABOVE 100 DEGREES AT KLBF AND KIML. THE
OTHER CONCERN FOR SATURDAY IS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AS VERY DRY
AIR WILL COME EAST...WITH DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE LOW 30S IN
PLACES. FURTHER DETAILS ARE FOUND BELOW IN FIRE WEATHER SECTION.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY ON SUNDAY...WHICH WILL BRING EASTERLY FLOW AND SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE FORECAST AREA. THERE WILL BE A GRADIENT
SOMEWHERE IN THE FORECAST AREA...WITH A RANGE FROM THE LOW 90S
OVER NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...WITH KIML MOST LIKELY STILL RISING
UP OVER 100 DEGREES.
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN FOR MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES CONTINUING IN THE 90S TO
AROUND 105 DEGREES. NIGHT-TIME TEMPERATURES WILL DROP ENOUGH TO
NOT NEED HEAT WARNINGS AT THIS POINT...HOWEVER THE LONG TERM HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY CAUSE STRESS TO PEOPLE OUTDOORS. AT THIS
POINT WILL SEND OUT A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT...HOWEVER MAY NEED
AN ADVISORY WITH 4 OR MORE CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITH HEAT INDEXES NEAR
ADVISORY CRITERIA.
THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY NIGHT OVER THE
PANHANDLE AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES THROUGH THE RIDGE AND STORMS
DEVELOP OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN. DID KEEP A LOW CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS OVER SHERIDAN AND NORTHERN GARDEN COUNTIES...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS QUITE LOW IN THIS TAKING PLACE AS THE AREA SHOULD
STAY WELL CAPPED AND KEEP STORMS TO THE WEST.
A TROUGH DOES LOOK TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND INTO THE
NORTHERN CONUS ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT TO BEGIN BREAKING
DOWN THE RIDGE. LOOKING FOR VERY WARM TEMPERATURES STILL ON
THURSDAY...HOWEVER WILL EXPECT A COOLER DAY FOR FRIDAY WITH
FORECAST HIGHS IN THE 80S AND LOW 90S.
FIRE WEATHER...
RECORD TO NEAR RECORD HEAT ON SATURDAY WILL COMBINE WITH LOW DEW
POINTS TO CREATE MIN RH VALUES OF 8 TO 15 PERCENT OVER MUCH OF
WESTERN NEBRASKA. WINDS WILL ALSO GUST AT TIMES CLOSE TO 25
MPH...AND FUELS HAVE CURED TO THE POINT OF EXPLOSIVE FIRE BEHAVIOR.
WINDS ARE THE BIGGEST CONCERN...AS MARGINAL CONDITIONS FOR RED FLAG
WARNING ARE EXPECTED...THUS HAVE ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR
SATURDAY. WILL MONITOR ANOTHER RUN BEFORE ISSUING A RED FLAG
WARNING.
