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 28, 6:59 PM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 6:59 PM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
659 PM CDT SAT APR 28 2012

.DISCUSSION...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS BEEN SLOWLY LIFTING NORTHWARD INTO THE
SOUTHERN ROLLING PLAINS...AND RECENTLY DEVELOPED A SMALL AREA OF
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN GARZA COUNTY EDGING
TOWARDS KENT COUNTY. MAJORITY OF SHORT-RANGE GUIDANCE INDICATES
ABOUT 2 TO 4 HOURS OF THUNDERSTORMS CROSSING ROLLING PLAINS.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH VALID UNTIL 07Z...HAIL AND WINDS PRIMARY
THREATS...LOW RISK TORNADO THREAT NEAR FRONT. RMCQUEEN

&&

.AVIATION...
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DRIFT CLOSE TO OR OVER KCDS AREA BY MID
TO LATE EVENING...RETAINED TEMPO THUNDER GROUP...WHILE THUNDER
UNLIKELY TO DEVELOP NEAR KLBB DURING THE EVENING. MIXED SIGNALS
FOR BOTH LOCATIONS LATER TONIGHT...RETAINED PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR
NOW FAVORING MVFR OR IFR CIGS DEVELOPING LATER TONIGHT. RMCQUEEN

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 250 PM CDT SAT APR 28 2012/

SHORT TERM...
PRIMARY FOCUS TODAY IS ON CONVECTION CHANCES...INCLUDING THE
POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE CONVECTION...LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.

RELATIVELY COOLER AND ONLY MODESTLY MOIST AIR HAS INVADED THE AREA IN
THE WAKE OF THIS MORNING/S COLD FRONT. THIS FRONT HAS LOST ITS
SOUTHWARD MOMENTUM AND STRETCHED ROUGHLY FROM THROCKMORTON TO SNYDER
TO ANDREWS AT 19Z. UP TO THIS POINT THE FRONT HAS BEEN
INACTIVE...BUT AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON
HOURS AND HEATING/MIXING PEAK...THIS MAY CHANGE. THE FRONT SHOULD
BEGIN TO RETREAT SLOWLY NORTHWARD WITH MOISTURE CONVERGENCE
INCREASING ALONG IT AS SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS INCREASE IN THE WARM
SECTOR AND PULL BETTER MOISTURE NORTHWESTWARD. THERE DOES REMAIN
SOME CIN IN PLACE...SO THIS CAPPING WILL HAVE TO BE OVERCOME...BUT
AT LEAST SOME OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS AS WELL AS THE
OPERATIONAL GFS AND NAM DO SUGGEST ISOLATED CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP
IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT /CLIPPING THE SOUTHERN ROLLING PLAINS/
BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS EVENING. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND
MODEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL SUPPORT SEVERE CONVECTION...INCLUDING
SUPERCELLS...IF STORMS FORM. THE PRIMARY HAZARDS WITH THE ACTIVITY
WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...THOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO
THREAT WILL EXIST WHERE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR IS MAXIMIZED NEAR THE
QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY. ATTENTION WILL THEN EXPAND FURTHER TO THE
NORTH AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH...CURRENTLY SEEN ON WV MOVING INTO
NORTHWEST NM...BEGINS TO INFLUENCE THE AREA. THE WAVE...COUPLED WITH
FAVORABLE JET DYNAMICS...AND AN INCREASING SOUTHERLY LLJ /AND
IMPROVING MOIST WAA REGIME/ WILL RESULT IN MORE WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION AND A POSSIBLE MCS LATER TONIGHT. CURRENTLY...IT APPEARS
THE MOST FAVORED LOCATION FOR THE MCS WILL RESIDE ACROSS THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE...THOUGH THE ENTIRE AREA WILL HAVE A SHOT AT SOME RAIN.
MUCAPES AOA 1500 J/KG ACROSS ROUGHLY THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FA
SUGGEST THAT THE ELEVATED CONVECTION WILL STILL POSE A HAIL
THREAT...WITH ANY BETTER ORGANIZED ACTIVITY HAVING A WIND THREAT
TOO.

SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW WITH
FAVORABLE JET DYNAMICS STILL IN PLACE...PERHAPS SOME EMBEDDED
MID-LEVEL DISTURBANCES...AND GOOD LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE.
HENCE...THUNDER CHANCES...INCLUDING THE PROSPECTS OF MORE SEVERE
WEATHER...REMAIN IN THE FORECAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE
DETAILS...HOWEVER...REMAIN ELUSIVE...AS THE EVOLUTION OF THE SFC
FEATURES WILL LIKELY REMAIN HEAVILY TIED TO ANY POSSIBLE MCS
TONIGHT. FOR INSTANCE...THE 12Z TTU WRF INDICATES THAT A COLD POOL
FROM THE PANHANDLE CONVECTION LATE TONIGHT WILL REINFORCE THE
EFFECTIVE SFC FRONT AND GIVE IT A PUSH SOUTHWARD /PERHAPS EVEN INTO
OR SOUTH OF THE FA/ BY LATE TOMORROW. NEEDLESS TO SAY...THE
CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS OF HOW TOMORROW WILL EVOLVE REMAINS FAIRLY
LOW. STILL...GIVEN THE INGREDIENTS AVAILABLE...HAVE MAINTAINED SOLID
STORM CHANCES TOMORROW AFTERNOON...FAVORING THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN
ZONES. IT SHOULD BE A RELATIVELY COOL DAY SUNDAY...WITH PLENTY OF
CLOUD COVER AROUND AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE 70S FOR MOST.

LONG TERM...
SIGNALS ARE MIXED FOR SUNDAY NIGHT REGARDING SPREAD OF
PRECIPITATION...BUT WITH ONE MORE PIECE OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
PROGGED TO MOVE OVER THE SOUTH PLAINS...A LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY IN OR
NEAR THE FCST AREA...AND ADEQUATE MOISTURE EITHER SIDE OF THE
BOUNDARY...WOULD EXPECT PRECIP TO BLOSSOM DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS THEN SHIFT TO THE EAST OF THE AREA FOR MONDAY. STILL...MOS
POPS HAVE DECREASED CONSIDERABLY LEADING TO LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN
THE INHERITED LIKELY POPS. WILL NUDGE POPS DOWNWARD TO A POSITION
BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS FCST AND 12Z MOS RUNS AS WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE THOSE INCREASE WITH LATER RUNS.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY THEN TURNS INTO A SLOSHING DRYLINE
SITUATION WITH THE ERN EXTENT OF DRYLINE MOVEMENT EACH DAY
DETERMINING BEST LOCATION FOR SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. QUESTION EACH
DAY WILL BE CAP STRENGTH WITH MODELS ATTM FAVORING SERN PANHANDLE
MONDAY AND AGAIN TUESDAY BEFORE POSSIBLY SHIFTING JUST EAST OF THE
AREA WEDNESDAY. BEYOND THAT FCST GETS MURKIER WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR A COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA THURSDAY PER THE GFS AND THE
BUILDING OF A RIDGE TOWARD AND MAYBE OVER WEST TEXAS BY THE
WEEKEND. LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY AND WILL THUS MAINTAIN A DRY FCST
WITH NEAR STEADY TEMPS. SPEAKING OF WHICH...MOS TEMPS ABOUT 10
DEGREES WARMER THAN SEASONAL NORMS FOR HIGHS AND AROUND 5 TO 10
WARMER FOR LOWS APPEARS REASONABLE AND IN LINE WITH PREVIOUS FCST.
