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 Aug 1, 3:21 PM CDT, 2 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 3:21 PM CDT, 2 hours 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
321 PM CDT THU AUG 1 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT THU AUG 1 2013

ABBREVIATED FORECAST DISCUSSION DUE TO ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS
NORTHERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.  SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND
SPREAD TO THE SOUTHEAST AS AMPLE INSTABILITY WORKS IN CONJUNCTION
WITH VARIOUS BOUNDARIES AND MORE THAN SUFFICIENT SHEAR. AND WHEN
COMBINED WITH STEEP LOW-MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...SUPERCELLS CAPABLE
OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA.  ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE A CONCERN AS
WELL...ESPECIALLY INVOF ANY BOUNDARY WHERE LOW WIND PROFILES ARE
VEERING /NORTH AND NORTHWESTERN NEBRASKA AND FROM EARLIER
CONVECTION/.  HEAVY RAINFALL IS A CONCERN...WITH PWATS ALREADY ABOVE
1.50" ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA...QUICK STORM MOTION MAY LIMIT
ACCUMULATIONS HOWEVER.  ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE ON
FRIDAY...AND AGAIN AMPLE INSTABILITY WITH FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES
WILL LEAD TO A RISK OF SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT THU AUG 1 2013

30 POPS FORECAST FRIDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TO BECOME
CENTERED IN FAR NW KANSAS EARLY EVENING. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN
INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING NW INTO NWRN NEBR AND A WARM FRONT ALONG
INTERSTATE 80. STORM SHOULD DEVELOP NEAR AND NORTH OF THESE
BOUNDARIES AND SAG SOUTH OVERNIGHT.

FOR SATURDAY COOLER HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN WITH NORTHEAST
WINDS AND HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S. INCREASING CHANCES THROUGH THE
DAY AND OVERNIGHT. FAVORED THE NAM AND ECMWF WHICH KEEP CLOSE TO
PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR POPS WHILE THE GFS KEEP SATURDAY MAINLY DRY
WITH LOW CHANCES SATURDAY NIGHT.

FOR SUNDAY AND BEYOND...A SEMI STATIONARY FRONT FORECAST TO REMAIN
JUST SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH OF AREA. A FLATTENED RIDGE TO OUR WEST
WILL BRING A SLIGHT NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN WITH BOUNDARY LAYER AND
MID LEVEL MOISTURE ELEVATED ACROSS THE REGION EACH DAY.
THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES TO REMAIN FAVORABLE THROUGH THE EXTENDED
WITH DAILY CHANCES REACHING 30 TO 40 PERCENT. THE GFS/ECMWF AND
GEM MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT ON THIS. WITH PROXIMITY OF SURFACE
FRONT AND ENHANCED POPS...TEMPERATURES TO RANGE BELOW NORMAL
THROUGH THE EXTENDED WITH HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S
MOST DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1241 PM CDT THU AUG 1 2013

TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE EXPECTED CONVECTION LATER THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING IS STILL A BIT UNCERTAIN...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE MULTIPLE
EPISODES OF SCATTERED CONVECTION THIS MORNING.  THAT BEING
SAID...MAINTAINED THE GENERAL IDEA OF ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE
STORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA TODAY/THIS
EVENING...POSSIBLY IMPACTING THE KVTN AND KLBF TERMINALS.  LARGE
HAIL...GUSTY WIND...AND TORRENTIAL RAIN WOULD BE EXPECTED WITH ANY
STORM. ENOUGH CONFIDENCE REMAINS TO KEEP THUNDER AT KLBF IN THE
TERMINAL FORECAST AFTER 23Z THIS EVENING AND BEFORE 04Z.  OTHERWISE
WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL OF FOG/LOW STRATUS IN THE WAKE OF
STORMS OVERNIGHT...CONFIDENCE IS LOW...BUT WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW
MAINTAINING A CONSISTENT FETCH OF MOISTURE INTO THE REGION...FOG
CANNOT BE DISCOUNTED AT THIS POINT IN TIME AT EITHER KLBF OR KVTN.

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
