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 North Platte, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 24, 2:41 PM CDT, 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 24, 2:41 PM CDT, 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
241 PM CDT WED JUL 24 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT WED JUL 24 2013

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IN THE SHORT TERM REVOLVES AROUND
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH THURSDAY AND ASSOCIATED RAINFALL
AMOUNTS. STORMS HAVE ALREADY FORMED THIS AFTERNOON ALONG A WEAK
BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA. STORMS MAY CONTINUE TO
INITIATE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND MOVE SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. A FEW STORMS MAY BE STRONG GIVEN DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN
EXCESS OF 40 KTS AND MLCAPE VALUES AROUND 2000-2500 J/KG. EXPECTING
THIS ACTIVITY TO WANE AS WE LOSE DIURNAL HEATING LATER THIS EVENING.

THE NEXT ROUNDS OF PRECIP WILL HAVE MORE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AS A
SHORTWAVE OVER WESTERN CO MOVES INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING...WITH
ANOTHER STRONGER SHORTWAVE FURTHER WEST MOVING INTO THE AREA EARLY
TOMORROW. LEE SIDE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN OVER EASTERN CO
AND WY AND KEEP MOSTLY SOUTHEAST WINDS IN PLACE...BRINGING GULF
MOISTURE AND DEWPOINTS AOA 60 TO THE AREA. UPPER LEVEL PACIFIC
MOISTURE WILL MOVE OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND INTO THE HIGH PLAINS
WHICH WILL RESULT IN PWATS BETWEEN 1.25-1.50 INCHES. MODELS ARE
STILL IN DISAGREEMENT ON TIMING/PLACEMENT OF PRECIPITATION TONIGHT
AND AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY MORNING...BUT OVERALL HAVE ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE TO INTRODUCE LOW END LIKELY POPS TO PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN
CWA EARLY TOMORROW MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE GFS AND SREF
ARE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THEIR QPF AS COMPARED TO THE NAM AND EC.
THE DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL GENERALLY STAY TO OUR SOUTH IN WESTERN
KS...HOWEVER GIVEN SLOW STORM MOTION CANNOT RULE OUT LOCALIZED AREAS
IN SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA SEEING AN INCH OR MORE OF RAINFALL THROUGH
TOMORROW. SEVERE CHANCES WILL BE LOW ON THURSDAY WITH WEAK SHEAR IN
PLACE AND CLOUD COVER LIMITING SFC DESTABILIZATION... HOWEVER CAA
ALOFT THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL HELP TO STEEPEN MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WHICH MAY HELP SUPPORT A FEW STRONGER STORMS.

EXPECTING PRECIP CHANCES TO SHUT DOWN FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHWEST
THURSDAY EVENING AS LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE MOVES INTO THE CWA BEHIND
AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO
BUILD SOUTH OF THE AREA INTO THE DEEPER MOISTURE AND STRENGTHENING
LLJ.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT WED JUL 24 2013

PATTERN OVERALL REMAINS UNCHANGED THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH A FEW
EXCEPTIONS. ONE OF THOSE WILL BE A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT WILL
MATERIALIZE TO THE NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION. WHILE THIS WILL
NOT AFFECT OUR WEATHER PRECIPITATION WISE...IT WILL DRIVE A COLD
FRONT SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY. THIS WILL BRING PLEASANT
TEMPERATURES...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO MID 80S FRIDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. HEIGHTS RISE SLIGHTLY NEXT WEEK...WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES WARMING A FEW DEGREES INTO THE 80S FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA.

OTHERWISE...WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
ROTATE AROUND THE SOUTHERN PLAINS UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. THESE WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING PERIODIC CHANCES FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1233 PM CDT WED JUL 24 2013

MAIN AVIATION CONCERNS FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS CENTER AROUND THE
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA
LATER TODAY AND INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE LATE THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AND THEN BEGIN TO MOVE EAST INTO THE AREA. THERE IS ALSO A
SLIGHT CHANCE THAT A FEW ISOLATED STORMS MAY DEVELOP IN NORTHERN
NEBRASKA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS
NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MENTION IN THE KVTN TAF AT THIS TIME. BEST
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE OVERNIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY
MORNING.
