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 25, 2:57 PM CDT, 2 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 2:57 PM CDT, 2 hours 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
257 PM CDT THU JUN 25 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 PM CDT THU JUN 25 2015

SHORTWAVE ALOFT MOVING EAST ACROSS NORTHERN WYOMING AND SOUTHERN
MONTANA...WITH LARGE SCALE FORCING AHEAD OF THE FEATURE AIDING IN
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE OF NEBRASKA
THIS AFTERNOON. HI-RES MODELS AGREE TO SOME EXTENT THAT THESE STORMS
WILL GROW UPSCALE INTO A BOWING SEGMENT/MCS AS THEY MOVE SOUTHEAST
INTO A FAIRLY UNSTABLE AND INCREASINGLY UNCAPPED ENVIRONMENT ACROSS
WESTERN INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. BEHIND THIS INITIAL ACTIVITY...MORE
SCATTERED ELEVATED ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. OVERALL...ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO WIND DOWN AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS SHORTWAVE CROSSES THE DAKOTAS AND HEADS FOR MINNESOTA.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BE EXPANDING ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST
FRIDAY...WITH OUR AREA ON THE EASTERN FRINGE OF THE RIDGE. THIS
SHOULD BRING MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WITH
SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80
DEGREES.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 255 PM CDT THU JUN 25 2015

SYNOPTIC PATTERN THROUGH THE MID TERM CHARACTERIZED BY A MEAN RIDGE
AXIS ALIGNED ALONG THE ROCKIES AND A TROUGH IN THE EASTERN
STATES...WITH THE HIGH PLAINS IN BETWEEN IN STRONGLY AMPLIFIED
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. AN ANOMALOUS UPPER LOW OVER THE GULF OF AK AND
A SECOND OVER THE HUDSON BAY ALLOWS THE RIDGE TO BUILD IN THE
ROCKIES AND LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE ALLOWING MUCH ABOVE AVE TEMPS FOR
THE WEST. THIS UPPER FLOW AND ASSOCIATED HEIGHT RISES IN THE HIGH
PLAINS WILL ALOW THE STATIONARY FRONT THAT HAS BEEN IN THE AREA FOR
THE LAST FEW DAYS TO FINALLY PUSH SOUTH OF THE AREA LEAVING A DRY
FCST IN PLACE FOR THE WEEKEND.

STRONG PV ANOMALY MOVING INTO THE PAC NW IS ABLE TO HAVE SOME SUCCESS
IN BREAKING DOWN THE UPPER RIDGE IN THE WEST...THOUGH LONG RANGE
MODELS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT ON JUST HOW THIS OCCURS. THE GENERAL
CONCENSUS THOUGH IS THAT THIS UPPER PV ANOMALY TOPS THE RIDGE AND
WITH THE RESULTING ZONAL FLOW ALOFT OVER SRN CANADA SFC LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS IN THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES IN SASKATCHEWAN AND DROPS SEWD
INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST BY MID WEEK. HOWEVER...AGAIN DETERMINISTIC
MODELS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IN HOW THEY HANDLE THIS SCENARIO.
AS FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE AREA MID WEEK TSRA CHANCES INCREASE. SVR
CHANCES ARE HARD TO DEFINE AT THIS POINT DUE TO A LACK OF
CONSISTENCY/AGREEMENT IN THE MODELS. A COOL DOWN LOOKS LIKELY FOR
THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1246 PM CDT THU JUN 25 2015

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND
INTENSIFY THIS AFTERNOON AS THEY MOVE SOUTHEAST FROM THE
PANHANDLE AND SPREAD INTO WESTERN AND EVENTUALLY CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
STRONG WIND GUSTS AND HAIL MAY ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS.
OTHERWISE EXPECT AREAS OF STRATUS AND MVFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP
LATE THIS EVENING AND PERSIST INTO THURSDAY MORNING AS ABUNDANT
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT...MAINLY WEST OF A LINE FROM VALENTINE TO NORTH PLATTE
TO CURTIS. A MARGINAL TO SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
EXISTS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REST OF NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND AN
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE...THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP AND MOVE SOUTHEAST FROM THE PANHANDLE INTO THE SANDHILLS
AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO CONGEAL INTO ONE OR TWO CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS BY LATE

THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AS WELL AS
LARGE HAIL...BUT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER INTO FRIDAY MORNING...THOUGH SEVERE
WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED.
