$$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 Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 14, 11:36 PM CDT, 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 11:36 PM CDT, 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 1136 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012 .AVIATION... LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE SHIFTED EAST OF KLBB AND THUS NEARING KCDS TONIGHT. THE PACIFIC FRONT DRIVING THE LINE OF STORMS HAVE RESULTED IN MVFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS AT KLBB...DUE TO BLDU. WILL EXPECT THE WIND SPEEDS TO DECLINE A BIT IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THUS VISIBILITIES RETURN TO VFR. KCDS ON THE OTHER- HAND WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN WIND SPEEDS FROM THE NORTHWEST IN THE 30 MINUTES OR SO IN ADDITION TO -TSRA AND PERHAPS SMALL HAIL. AND LIKE KLBB...A RETURN TO VFR WILL FOLLOW THEREAFTER. SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE...LIKELY NOT AS HIGH AS EXPERIENCED EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON AND THUS THE ISSUANCE OF AN AWW MAY NOT BE WARRANTED. COULD SEE VFR TO MVFR BLDU ONCE AGAIN AT KLBB AS SCT VFR DECKS PASS OVERHEAD. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1058 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012/ UPDATE... A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG THE PACIFIC FRONT THAT IS TREKKING EAST ACROSS THE SOUTH PLAINS TONIGHT. DAMAGING GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL RANGING FROM 0.50 INCH TO 1.50 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY. HAVE THEREFORE UPGRADED THE FORECAST PACKAGE TO REFLECT THIS SEVERE POTENTIAL. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 333 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012/ SHORT TERM... WHAT WOULD ORDINARILY BE JUST A WIND/FIRE WEATHER DAY STILL REMAINS A BIT MORE COMPLEX. DRYLINE HAS NOT PUSHED AS FAR EAST AS NWP HAD SUGGESTED WITH STATIONS ACROSS THE ROLLING PLAINS REMAINING WELL INTO THE 50S. FIELD OF AGITATED CUMULUS REMAINS APPARENT FROM NEAR HALE CENTER UP INTO FLOYD COUNTY THENCE INTO THE EASTERN PANHANDLE. STORMS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO BECOME ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE PANHANDLE. THIS BEING THE CASE...HAVE SLIGHTLY INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. WINDS ARE JUST NOW BEGINNING TO PICK UP WITH VERY DRY AIR ACROSS THE WEST AND BLOWING DUST HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN LUBBOCK FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WITH RED FLAG MINUTES ACCUMULATING RAPIDLY OUT WEST. PACIFIC FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH TONIGHT AND WILL LIKELY INITIATE AT LEAST A THIN LINE OF STORMS AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA TONIGHT. WINDS WILL PICK UP ONCE AGAIN ON SUNDAY THOUGH ARE NOT EXPECTED TO MATCH THE VELOCITIES SEEN TODAY. LONG TERM... COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN SUNDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT AND WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A CHILLY MONDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NW ZONES WITH TEMPS DIPPING INTO THE 30S...AND WE WILL BE LOOKING OUT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A FROST IN THAT AREA. UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY MONDAY AND SOME MODEL SOLUTIONS DO GENERATE SOME LIGHT QPF ACROSS THE NRN ZONES AS DECENT MID-LVL LAPSE RATES AND LIFT CROSSES THE PANHANDLES. BUT DRY LOW-LVLS LEAD US TO BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THESE SHOWERS SHOULD BE VIRGA AND WE HAVE KEPT POPS BELOW MENTION. LINGERING SFC RIDGING MONDAY NIGHT WILL PRODUCE ANOTHER COOL NIGHT...BUT TEMPS SHOULD BE ON A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AND SW BREEZES RETURN TUESDAY AND HIGH TEMPS SHOULD RETURN TO THE MIDDLE 70S TO LOWER 80S...WARMING A FEW DEGREES FURTHER ON WED. BY THURSDAY...UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NRN PLAINS MAY DRAW UP ENOUGH RETURN MOISTURE FOR A QUICK SHOT OF MOISTURE RETURN THURS MORNING AND A DRYLINE DEVELOPING AND MOVING INTO THE ROLLING PLAINS IN THE AFTERNOON. CHANCES OF TSTM INITIATION ALONG THE DRYLINE APPEAR FAIRLY LOW AT THIS POINT WITH LIFT DISPLACED TO THE NORTH AND DEEP MOISTURE LACKING. THU WILL LIKELY BE THE WARMEST DAY THOUGH WITH HIGHS PUSHING 90F WEST OF THE DRYLINE. MED-RANGE GUIDANCE STILL IN DECENT AGREEMENT THAT THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THU NIGHT/FRI MORNING. ECMWF NOW GENERATES SOME PRECIP IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT FOR FRIDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH AMPLIFIES AND DIVES SE ACROSS THE REGION...WHILE GFS STILL TRACKS IT FARTHER NORTH. WILL LEAVE THE FCST DRY FOR NOW BUT COOLER TEMPS LOOK LIKELY FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY. FIRE WEATHER... RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT INTO EARLY EVENING GENERALLY WEST OF THE ESCARPMENT. WITH THE HIGHER THAN EXPECTED MOISTURE LEVELS...AM CONSIDERING DROPPING RED FLAG WARNING FOR COUNTIES EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 27 CORRIDOR. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE WESTERLY OVERNIGHT. BUT REMAIN QUITE BREEZY WELL INTO SUNDAY AS PRESSURE GRADIENTS SLOWLY RELAX. FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS MAY RETURN THURSDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CAPROCK AS VERY WARM AND BREEZY CONDITIONS DEVELOP WEST OF THE DRYLINE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
