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 May 18, 5:21 PM MDT, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 18, 5:21 PM MDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
621 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013

AT H5 UPPER TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES AND RIDGING INTO GREAT LAKES.
AT THE SURFACE SURFACE LOW OVER NORTHWEST KANSAS WITH INVERTED
TROUGH INTO CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND DRY LINE FROM EASTERN COLORADO
THROUGH THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013 TSTMS EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE
NIGHT ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. INITIAL ROUND OF
STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP/MOVE NORTHEAST FROM SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA...THROUGH CENTRAL AND INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. BACKED
SFC WINDS TO THE SOUTHEAST ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA...WITH SPEEDS INCREASING JUST OFF THE SFC EARLY THIS
EVENING. THE TIME FRAME FROM 600 PM CDT TO 900 PM CDT LOOKS TO BE
THE MOST FAVORABLE FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. IN ADDITION TO THE TORNADO THREAT...VERY LARGE
HAIL...POSSIBLE BASEBALL SIZE OR LARGER...IS EXPECTED. STORMS WILL
LIKELY MERGE EARLY THIS EVENING INTO A COMPLEX AS THEY ADVANCE
NORTHEAST TOWARD CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS FROM THE COMPLEX.

AFTER THIS INITIAL ROUND...ADDITIONAL ELEVATED TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE
JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THESE
WILL BE THE RESULT OF A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET AND CONTINUED
LARGE SCALE ASCENT.

MODELS NOT IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT SUNDAY...AND THIS IS NOT A
SURPRISE DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF CONVECTION EXPECTED TONIGHT.
BASICALLY A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL SLOWLY MIGRATE EAST ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PLAINS SUNDAY AND BEYOND. CONVECTION WILL LIKELY DICTATE
THE ACTUAL LOCATION OF THE FEATURE. FOR NOW IT APPEARS IT MAY BE IN
OR VERY NEAR THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY...SO HIGHER POPS WILL BE
MAINTAINED. THERE COULD BE SOME STRONGER STORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT
THAT WILL BE LOCATED IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 235 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013

MODELS HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH HANDLING OF H5 LOW FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS BUT STILL ALL IN ALL WITH SUBTLE DIFFERENCES WIDE
SPREAD PRECIPITATION EXPECTED FOR MOST OF WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING CONCERNS FOR
HYDROLOGY. SEVERE WEATHER FOCUS OVER NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA ON
SUNDAY EAST OF A LINE FROM AINSWORTH TO BROKEN BOW. NAM FASTEST
AND DRIEST MODEL AND OUTLIER FROM EC AND GFS. HAVE TRENDED MORE
TOWARDS THE EC AND GFS SLOWER SOLUTION. MODELS HAVE WARMED SOME IN
THE EXTENDED WITH +6C AT 850MB BY 12Z WEDNESDAY AND THEN A
GRADUAL INCREASE THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. NEXT SYSTEM MOVES
INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY. HAVE RETAINED SLIGHT
CHANCES.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 619 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013

THUNDERSTORMS ARE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR AVIATION WEATHER THIS
AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL
INCREASE THIS EVENING IN WESTERN NEBRASKA. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT
RISK OF WIND GREATER THAN 35G45KT IN AND NEAR THE STORMS ALONG WITH
HAIL OF ONE INCH DIAMETER OR GREATER. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT
THE STORMS WILL MAKE THEIR WAY NORTHWARD OUT OF NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA AFTER 08Z. THE PRIMARY THREAT IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA IS EXPECTED TO BE FROM 23-05Z.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING IN THE WAKE OF THE STORMS WILL BRING AT
LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PATCHY FOG AND SOME MARGINAL CEILINGS.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTER 15Z...ESPECIALLY IN
NORTHERN AND EASTERN NEBRASKA.

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
