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 58 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 2, 6:38 PM CDT, 5 hours 58 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.
