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 Omaha, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 2, 6:38 PM CDT, 5 hours 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 2, 6:38 PM CDT, 5 hours 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE 638 PM CDT WED MAY 2 2012 .AVIATION... 00Z TAFS FOR KOMA...KLNK...KOFK. CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND TIMING REMAIN MAIN CONCERN DURING THIS PERIOD. COUPLE OF BOUNDARIES IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING TO ACT AS POSSIBLE FOCUS WITH KOFK APPEARING TO BE CLOSEST TO INITIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH BOUNDARY FROM JUST WEST OF KOLU TO WEST OF KSUX. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 419 PM CDT WED MAY 2 2012/ DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST PROBLEMS TONIGHT ARE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND SEVERITY. THERE ARE 3 MAIN AREAS FOR CONCERN TONIGHT. THE FIRST WOULD BE ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM LAST NIGHT'S CONVECTION...IN AN AREA FROM NEAR HEBRON TO SOUTH OF LINCOLN TO WESTERN IOWA. HOWEVER...AN 18Z SOUNDING REVEALED A CAP THAT HAS TO BE OVERCOME... AND OVERALL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND VISUAL OBSERVATIONS SUGGESTS THAT VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THIS CUMULUS FIELD IS LIMITED...BUT IS AN AREA THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. THE SECOND AREA WOULD BE ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH THAT EXTENDS FROM NEAR HASTINGS INTO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. THE DEWPOINT GRADIENT ALONG THIS FEATURE...COMBINED WITH NEARLY FULL SUNSHINE TODAY HAS ALLOWED A LINE OF TOWERING CUMULUS CLOUDS TO DEVELOP...AND IT'S WITHIN THIS AREA THAT SPC IS MONITORING WITH A RECENT MCD THAT WAS ISSUED. INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR WOULD BE SUFFICIENT IN THIS AREA FOR SEVERE STORMS AND WOULD BE WITHIN THE MODERATE RISK ENVELOPE GIVEN EFFECTIVE SHEAR AROUND 45 TO 55 KNOTS. ONE CELL APPEARS TO BE POPPING NEAR CENTRAL CITY...SO WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH TO SEE IF THIS CAN CONTINUE TO VERTICALLY DEVELOP. AND FINALLY...THE LAST CONCERN WOULD BE A CONVECTIVE MCS THAT DEVELOPS ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS THIS EVENING IN RESPONSE TO THE ADVANCING WAVE FROM THE WEST...THAT WOULD RACE EASTWARD OVERNIGHT WITH A SUBSTANTIAL WIND THREAT...ALONG WITH HEAVY RAINFALL...WITHIN AN AXIS ORIENTED NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. THIS WOULD MOVE INTO AN AREA THAT RECEIVED THE HEAVY RAINFALL LAST NIGHT...BUT BECAUSE OF THE FORWARD MOVING PROPAGATION AND NO TRAINING...ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WOULD PROBABLY NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS. BEYOND TONIGHT...IF AN MCS DEVELOPS AND ROLLS EASTWARD OVERNIGHT... THERE COULD BE LINGERING CONVECTION EARLY IN THE MORNING THURSDAY. THEN THERE SHOULD BE A SEVERAL HOUR PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER...BUT STORMS COULD REFIRE THURSDAY AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I80. THE DETAILS BECOME SLIGHTLY DEPENDENT ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION CAN PUSH THE BOUNDARY...BUT CONVECTION WOULD TEND TO PUSH SOUTH INTO KS/MO BY DAY BREAK FRIDAY. FRIDAY ACTUALLY MAY BE DRY...WITH AN MCS TO OUR NORTH. HOWEVER ANOTHER DEVELOPING SURFACE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT...THUS HAVE ADDED POPS FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS BOUNDARY THEN APPEARS TO STALL IN SIMILAR FASHION FROM CENTRAL NEBRASKA THROUGH THE MID MISSOURI VALLEY REGION. ANOTHER IMPULSE MOVING IN SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION THAT THEN MOVES THROUGH THE AREA THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT...AND COULD LINGER INTO SUNDAY. FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK...OVERALL FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS SOMEWHAT LOW. MODEL DISCREPANCIES BEGIN TO MAGNIFY AND DETAILS BECOME UNCLEAR. OVERALL...PREFER A DRIER SOLUTION... ALTHOUGH THE FORECAST MODEL BLENDS INDICATED 20 TO 30 PERCENT CHANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD. DEWALD && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...NONE. IA...NONE. && FOBERT
