What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Jun 16, 6:48 AM CDT, 9 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 6:48 AM CDT, 9 hours 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OMAHA/VALLEY NE
648 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

ELEVATED CONVECTION IS TRYING TO INITIATE ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA
ON THE NOSE OF A 45-50 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET...WHICH IS ALSO
COINCIDENT WITH THE INCREASE OF GULF MOISTURE AS THETAE ADVECTION
CONTINUES FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS CLUSTER OF SHOWERS IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH DAYBREAK AND BECOME A
CLUSTER OF POTENTIALLY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THAT COULD HAVE SOME
LARGE HAIL YET THIS MORNING. RAP CONTINUES TO MOVE THIS INTO
PRIMARILY NORTHEAST NEBRASKA THROUGH THE MORNING...BUT AS DAYTIME
HEATING BEGINS AFTER SUNRISE...COULD SEE A SOUTHWARD EXTENSION
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA THAT WILL CONTINUE TO
SLOWLY PUSH EAST THROUGH THE MORNING. WILL HAVE UP TO 50 PERCENT
CHANCE OF STORMS IN NORTHEAST NEBRASKA THIS MORNING...BUT JUST 20
TO 30 PERCENT SOUTHWARD ACROSS REMAINDER OF FORECAST AREA.

THERE IS A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE EARLY
THIS MORNING...WITH A PSEUDO WARM WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST
SOUTHEAST FROM THE LOW...WHICH IS ALSO PRIMARILY THE LEADING EDGE
OF UPPER 60S/NEAR 70 DEWPOINTS THAT WILL ALSO OVERSPREAD THE
REGION TODAY. H85 DEWPOINT MOISTURE ALSO SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES
THROUGH THE DAY...RESULTING IN HIGH INSTABILITY DEVELOPING...
COMBINED WITH DEEP BULK SHEAR OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS. AFTER THE MORNING
ACTIVITY...THERE MAY BE AN HOUR OR TWO BREAK...WITH ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON THAT WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE EVENING. BY THEN...THE REAL WARM FRONT COULD BE
MOVING THROUGH THE NORTH PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. STEEP MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES ALSO ACROSS THE REGION ALONG WITH VERY HIGH
INSTABILITY WITH CAPE VALUES FROM 2000-4000 J/KG SHOULD ALLOW FOR
VERY LARGE HAIL TO DEVELOP WITHIN SUPERCELLS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
BELIEVE THE REAL TORNADO THREAT WILL PROBABLY BE IN OUR FAR
NORTHERN FORECAST AREA CLOSER TO THE WARM FRONT SAY BETWEEN KOMA
AND SUX...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA SOUTHWARD FROM THE FRONT. WHATEVER DEVELOPS
WOULD PROBABLY MOSTLY BE OVER BY 06Z...WITH FOCUS SHIFTING EAST OF
THE FORECAST AREA BY THEN.

SPC DOES HAVE THE REGION IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS AND
HAVE NO DOUBT WE'LL HAVE WATCHES ISSUED AT SOME POINT. COULD SEE A
WATCH YET THIS MORNING FOR HAIL THAT MIGHT CLIP PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST NEBRASKA...THEN ADDITIONAL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THEREAFTER...WE'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF HOT AND HUMID DAYS FOR TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. HIGHS SHOULD EASILY REACH THE LOWER/MID 90S TUESDAY...AND
WHEN COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S...SHOULD SEE
HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S. AND WHILE THIS IS
BELOW HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA...IT WILL BE THE FIRST REALLY HOT/HUMID
DAY WE'VE EXPERIENCED THIS YEAR. BREEZY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL
WILL NOT OFFER MUCH COOLING EITHER.

THE SREF AND GFS DO HINT AT ISOLATED STORM DEVELOPMENT TUESDAY EVENING...
BUT BELIEVE WE WILL BE EFFECTIVELY CAPPED WITH H70 TEMPS OF +11
TO +12 ACROSS THE AREA...THUS WILL LEAVE IT DRY TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
MUGGY CONDITIONS AND LOWS ONLY IN THE LOWER/MID 70S.

WEDNESDAY IS ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S AND JUST
AS HUMID AS TUESDAY...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES AGAIN IN THE UPPER
90S. THERE IS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND ASSOCIATED UPPER WAVE
APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE WEST...BUT BELIEVE CONVECTION WILL
HOLD OFF IN OUR AREA UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND FEEL THAT SREF MAY
BE TOO QUICK ON DEVELOPMENT.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

AFOREMENTIONED WAVE MOVES INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT THEN
ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD BRING IN ANOTHER GOOD
CHANCE OF STORMS WITH 40-60 PERCENT CHANCE...WHICH PUSHES THROUGH
THE AREA ON THURSDAY AND EAST/OUT OF THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT.
ANOTHER WAVE MATERIALIZES ON THE GFS BY FRIDAY AND MOVES THROUGH
THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT ALTHOUGH THE ECMWF IS GENERALLY DRY...SO
CONFIDENCE THAT FAR OUT IS TYPICALLY LOW. WILL OPT FOR A DRY
FORECAST SATURDAY...BUT MODELS DO HINT AT ANOTHER WEAK FRONT IN
THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...(12Z TAFS FOR KOFK...KLNK AND KOMA.)
ISSUED AT 642 AM CDT MON JUN 16 2014

AVIATION CONCERNS TODAY WILL BE RETURN OF DEEP MOISTURE...
FOG...STRATUS AND CONVECTION ALONG WITH STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL
WINDS. AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED
OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND THESE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST THIS
MORNING. KOFK SHOULD SEE THE BEST COVERAGE AND WILL INCLUDE A
TEMPO GROUP THERE SHOULD BE MORE ISOLATED IN NATURE AT KOMA AND
KLNK WITH SOME MVFR/IFR/PATCHY LIFT CIGS AND VSBYS. THERE MAY BE A
BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY LATE THIS MORNING WITH COVERAGE INCREASING
IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AGAIN. INSTABILITY GREATLY INCREASES
THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL NEED TO WATCH STRENGTH OF STORMS FOR HAIL
AND HIGH WINDS. IF WARM MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES MOVE IN...THESE MAY
LIMIT TSTORM COVERAGE AT KLNK AND KOMA THIS AFTERNOON. LIGHT
SOUTHEAST WINDS EARLY...WILL QUICKLY STRENGTHEN TO 15 TO 25 KTS
WITH GUSTS TO 30KTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

NORTHEAST NEBRASKA THIS MORNING. THEN...SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AS VERY HIGH INSTABILITY DEVELOPS AS
DEEPER MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE REGION AND A WARM FRONT LIFTS
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS. VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY SUPERCELLS THAT DEVELOP LATER TODAY. AND
ISOLATED TORNADO WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE BETWEEN OMAHA AND SIOUX
CITY. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES COULD APPROACH 95 TO 100 BOTH DAYS.

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATER IN THE WEEK...FROM
