Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 14 minutes after it went out.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Rapid City, SD (KRAP), launched 00:00Z, 8.0 hours before the alert went out and 163 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

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 Jun 20, 10:46 PM MDT, 3 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 10:46 PM MDT, 3 hours 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
1146 PM CDT SAT JUN 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 314 PM CDT SAT JUN 20 2015

AT 20Z BROAD ZONAL FLOW WAS ESTABLISHED OVER MOST OF THE NORTHERN
CONUS WITH SEVERAL EMBEDDED DIFFUSE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS NOTED ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY. MAIN JET STREAK WAS POSITIONED JUST SOUTH OF THE
US/CANADIAN BORDER ALONG THE NORTHERN TIER STATES. AT THE SURFACE A
WEAK COLD FRONT HAD PUSHED SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CWA...WITH
NORTHERLY WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES BEHIND THE FRONT. THE BOUNDARY DID
LITTLE TO REDUCE LOCAL HUMIDITY LEVELS WITH DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE
LOW TO MID 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 314 PM CDT SAT JUN 20 2015

WEAK UPPER LEVEL PV MAX NOTED ON WATER VAPOR CROSSING THROUGH WY/MT.
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING ON
THE HIGH TERRAIN OF EASTERN WYOMING/NEBRASKA PANHANDLE/SW SOUTH
DAKOTA...WHICH HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY ADVERTISED IN MOST HI RES
MODELS TODAY. THE CONVECTION THEN TRACKS EAST/SOUTHEAST ALONG THE
NOSE OF A STRENGTHENING LLJ...AND INTO THE CWA AFTER 00Z. DEEP LAYER
SHEAR AROUND 50 KTS AND STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL PROMOTE THE
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS...WITH DAMAGING WIND THE
PRIMARY THREAT DUE TO DRY MID-LEVELS. THE BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS
LOOKS TO REMAIN CONFINED TO NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA...HOWEVER CANNOT RULE OUT A STORM OR TWO AS FAR SOUTH AS
NORTH PLATTE IF THE LLJ CAN SUSTAIN THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST TOMORROW AND SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS
TO THE AREA. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A WARMER AND QUITE HUMID
DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S TO MID 90S AND DEWPOINTS NEAR 70 IN
SOME SPOTS. AIRMASS BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE BY THE MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS...BUT REMAINS CAPPED WITH A STOUT EML FIRMLY IN
PLACE THROUGH 00Z. ANY REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION
TONIGHT WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY ANALYZED TOMORROW. FOCUSED MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE AND LIFT ALONG A BOUNDARY MAY BE ENOUGH TO BRING A
SURFACE BASED AIR PARCEL TO THE LFC...HOWEVER LEFT POPS OUT FOR NOW
DUE TO LOW FORECASTER CONFIDENCE.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 314 PM CDT SAT JUN 20 2015

OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN UNDERGOES SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TWD THE END OF
THE PERIOD WITH A MORE AMPLIFIED UPPER FLOW OF WHICH LONG RANGE
MODELS AGREE PRIMARILY ON AND ENSEMBLES GIVE SUPPORT TO. THIS IS
CHARACTERIZED BY A RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE WEST WITH A LONG WAVE
TROUGH IN THE EAST. THIS PUTS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA IN
NWRLY FLOW ALOFT WHICH WILL KEEP THUNDERSTORM CHANCES IN THE FCST AS
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY GETS SHOVED NORTH AND SOUTH DAILY DEPENDING ON
THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW AVE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR FROM WED ON TO THE END OF THE PERIOD.

LOOKING CLOSER AT THE DETAILS BEGINNING SUNDAY NIGHT...AS MENTIONED
ATMOSPHERE SUNDAY EVENING IS VERY UNSTABLE...BUT WARM AIR ALOFT
LOOKS STRONG ENOUGH TO INHIBIT DEEP MOIST CONVECTION...UNLESS
CONVERGENCE CAN FOCUS ON OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM EXPECTED EARLIER
CONVECTION. SIGNIFICANT PV ANOMALY PUSHES EWD ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AND
DRAGS A LEAD SFC TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SEWD OVERNIGHT
SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IN THIS AREA IS WEAK. WITH
SUCH AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE ANY STORM THAT COULD BREAK THE
CAP WOULD LIKELY BE SEVERE. FCST HAS CHANCES LIMITED TO NRN FRINGE
OF NEB...THOUGH THIS WILL BE HEAVILY SCRUTINIZED AS NEWER DATA
BECOMES AVAILABLE DUE TO THE HIGH LEVEL OF INSTABILITY.

FRONT BECOMES STALLED ACROSS NRN KS MONDAY NIGHT AS SFC LOW PRESSURE
TRACKS ACROSS THE SD/NEB BORDER. MONDAY WILL BE BREEZY BEHIND THE
PASSAGE OF THE FRONT AND TEMPS SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER IN THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE STATE. WITH THE FRONT STALLED SOUTH OF THE AREA
TUESDAY...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL POOL NORTH OF THE FRONT AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF STRATUS IS LOOKING MORE LIKELY. THIS WILL LEAD TO MAX
TEMPS BELOW AVE. RETURN FLOW AROUND THE SFC HIGH THAT SETTLES IN
WILL LEAD TO UPSLOPE FLOW IN THE PANHANDLE. MEANWHILE LOW LEVEL SRLY
WINDS WILL INTERACT WITH THE FRONT TO DEVELOP THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE SRN PORTION OF THE STATE WHILE STORM CHANCES INCREASE IN THE
PANHANDLE AS WELL AS THE NEXT UPPER SUPPORT MOVES IN.

AS THE WRN STATES RIDGE BUILDS AND NW FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE AREA
FROM MID WEEK ON...THE MID LEVEL WARM TEMPS WHICH WILL HELP TO LIMIT
CONVECTION SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL COOL AND WITH SEVERAL SHORT WAVE
TROUGHS ROUNDING THE WRN STATES RIDGE...MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. THE BEST CONCENTRATION OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE IN THE VCNTY OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...DEPENDING ON WHERE THAT
SETS UP. DESPITE BEING IN AGREEMENT ON THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF
THE SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN...THERE ARE VAST DIFFERENCES IN THE SFC
AND SMALLER SCALE FEATURES TO LIMIT CONFIDENCE IN PRECIP LOCATION
AND DURATION.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1146 PM CDT SAT JUN 20 2015

A NEW AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS IS APPROACHING THE BLACK HILLS WHICH
IS EXPECTED TO DROP SOUTHEAST TOWARD KVTN OVERNIGHT. IN GENERAL
THE RAPID REFRESH MODELS APPEAR TO BE OVERDOING THE PREDICTED
STORM COVERAGE SUGGESTING ISOLATED TO PERHAPS SCATTERED COVERAGE
OVERNIGHT...MAINLY ALONG...NEAR AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20.

VFR IS EXPECTED ALL AREAS SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING. A STRONG
700MB CAP WILL FORM WHICH SHOULD PRECLUDE STORM DEVELOPMENT
ATLEAST THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING. THEREAFTER...STORM ACTIVITY
COULD BE UNDERWAY ACROSS SD WHICH COULD EVENTUALLY MOVE EAST AND
SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE NEBRASKA BORDER.

.LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
