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 Jul 18, 5:25 PM MDT, 3 hours 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 18, 5:25 PM MDT, 3 hours 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 625 PM CDT SAT JUL 18 2015 .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 340 PM CDT SAT JUL 18 2015 BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS ANCHORED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND SOUTHEASTERN CONUS. A TROUGH IS PUSHING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA...WITH A SUBTLE TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. TROPICAL STORM DOLORES IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC WITH SOME MOISTURE FROM THE SYSTEM COMBINING WITH A GOOD MOISTURE SURGE UP THE 4 CORNERS AND INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. MEANWHILE AT THE SFC A STALLED BOUNDARY MEANDERING ACROSS MUCH OF KS AND BACK NORTHWEST ALONG THE FRONT RANGE. BENEATH PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TEMPS GENERALLY INTO THE 80S THIS AFTERNOON. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 340 PM CDT SAT JUL 18 2015 MOISTURE CONTINUES TO ROTATE FROM THE SW WITH CLOUDS ON THE INCREASE FROM THE WEST. WATER VAPOR SHOWING A SHORT WAVE TRACKING ACROSS NORTHERN COLORADO AND FAR SOUTHEAST WYOMING. THIS WAVE HAS BEEN THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE AROUND THE RIDGE INTO SW NEB THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. AND WILL BE MONITORED FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. ZERO TO 6 KM SHEAR IS GOOD AT 35 TO 40 KTS AND MUCAPE VALUES VARY BETWEEN 1500 TO 2500 J/KG DEPENDING ON MODEL...WHICH IS STILL DECENT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT WHICH LESSENS THE SFC BASED STORMS AND MORE LIKELY TO SEE ELEVATED ACTIVITY. SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL THE BIGGEST CONCERN...HOWEVER SOME WIND OR AN ISOLD TORNADO COULD BE POSSIBLE EARLY ON. PWATS AT 1.50 INCHES OR BETTER AND STORM MOTION IS AROUND 10 KTS SO HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE A CONCERN. YESTERDAY STORMS PRODUCED LOCAL AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 3 INCHES...HOWEVER GENERALLY EXPECT STORMS TONIGHT TO BE SW OF LAST NIGHT ACTIVITY. TOMORROW HIGHS RETURN TO THE 80S AS THE STALLED BOUNDARY REMAINS TO THE SOUTH. ALSO GOING TO SEE ANOTHER WAVE PUSH ACROSS THE ROCKIES WITH A CONTINUED TAP TO PACIFIC MOISTURE. WILL MONITOR FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS...POSSIBLY STRONG TO SEVERE. .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 340 PM CDT SAT JUL 18 2015 IN THE MID TERM SOLUTIONS MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH FLATTENED SOUTHERN PLAINS RIDGE AND CUTOFF LOW OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW MID AND HIGH MOISTURE STREAMING STREAMING FROM SYSTEM OFF BAJA AND ACROSS MEXICO STREAMING ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL PLAINS. SURFACE HIGH WILL BE IN PLACE AGAIN ON SUNDAY WITH RETURN UPSLOPE FLOW OVER THE SOUTHWEST ZONES INTO THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE. ENERGY CONTINUES TO BE EJECTED OUT OF THE TROUGH TO THE WEST. TIMING OF WAVES CONTINUES AS A VARIABILITY IN THE FORECAST. BOUNDARY TO THE SOUTH OVER KANSAS WILL BE KEY TO PRECIPITATION FORECAST. UPSLOPE CONDITIONS PERSIST OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA AND BUFR SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW MID LEVEL CAP THROUGH THE EVENING WITH 1400 JOULES/ KILOGRAM AND WEAK SHEAR. PROGRESSIVE WAVE WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST OVER NIGHT. HIGHS IN THE 80S AND LOWS IN THE 60S. MONDAY RIDGE REBOUNDS BEHIND EXITING WAVE TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE UPPER 80S WITH SOME 90S OVER SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. HAVE CARRIED SOME SCHC POPS OVER SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA BASED ON STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER NORTHERN KANSAS WITH LATE AFTERNOON HEATING. TUESDAY STRONGER SLOW MOVING AS A MID LEVEL WAVE MOVES OUT OF THE TROUGH AND THROUGH THE ROCKIES BRINGING HEIGHTENED CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION TO WESTERN NEBRASKA THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY INTERACTING WITH A STATIONARY BOUNDARY LYING ACROSS THE NEBRASKA SANDHILLS. HIGHS IN THE 80S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY LOWS IN THE 60S. HIGHS RISING INTO THE 90S THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AND DRY AS RIDGE BUILDS BACK. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 625 PM CDT SAT JUL 18 2015 MAIN FCST CHALLENGE IS TIMING OF TSRA AT THE KLBF TAF AND VCNTY INTO SWRN NEB. SHORT RANGE CAMS SUCH AS THE HRRR AND EVEN 18.00Z RUNS OF OTHERS FAVOR A CLUSTER OF STORMS DEVELOPING/INTENSIFYING IN THE VCNTY OF THE I80 CORRIDOR AND MOVING INTO THE KLBF AREA. MESOANALYSIS SUGGESTS SOME INCREASE IN DEEP MOIST CONVERGENCE IN THE AREA OF RETREATING DRY LINE IN THE SRN SANDHILLS AND INTO SWRN NEB. AS WOULD BE EXPECTED...BEST CAPE AND AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR RESIDES EAST OF THE RETREATING DRY LINE SO ONCE ONGOING TSRA MOVES OUT OF HIGHER TERRAIN CI SHOULD BEGIN SHORTLY AFTER 19.00Z MUCH LIKE THE HRRR SUGGESTS. HAVE TIMED THE STORMS BASED FOR THE KLBF TAF BASED ON THIS ASSUMPTION AND CONFIDENCE ABOVE AVE IN THIS SCENARIO. ONCE STORMS FORM/EVOLVE DAMAGING WINDS SHOULD BE A CONCERN AND HAVE TEMPO GROUP TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT. HEAVY RAIN ALSO POSSIBLE AS WELL AS HAIL. TSRA SHOULD LARGELY BE SOUTH OF KVTN SO HAVE JUST INCLUDED MID LEVEL CONVECTIVE DEBRIS TYPE CLOUDINESS THERE. SOME INDICATION IN SHORT RANGE MODEL SOUNDINGS THAT STRATUS WILL DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE CONVECTION AROUND SUNRISE...AGAIN PRIMARILY IN SWRN NEB. CONFIDENCE IS LESS IN THAT SCENARIO THOUGH WOULD BE A TYPICAL EVOLUTION IN MOIST BL ENVIRONMENTS. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SYNOPSIS...MASEK SHORT TERM...MASEK LONG TERM...POWER AVIATION...JWS
