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 Hastings, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 10, 3:10 PM CDT, 2 hours 39 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 10, 3:10 PM CDT, 2 hours 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
310 PM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016

THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AND
THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND BEHIND THE
FRONT THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. HIGH-RESOLUTION GUIDANCE HAS
BEEN CONSISTENT IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND
INTO THE EVENING. AS OF 19Z (2PM) SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED SIMILAR TO GUIDANCE. THE FRONT IS ROUGHLY EAST OF BROKEN
BOW SOUTH TO MCCOOK. WITH THIS...EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AS IT MOVES EASTWARD. THIS WILL IMPACT
THE WHOLE AREA. SHEAR IS ADEQUATE...BUT INSTABILITY IS
STRUGGLING BETWEEN 500-1500 J/KG...HOWEVER PLENTIFUL SUNSHINE AND
HIGHER THAN EXPECTED DEW POINTS ARE PROVIDING SLIGHTLY HIGHER
INSTABILITY THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGH. THINK AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES
EASTWARD INSTABILITY MAY INCREASE SLIGHTLY INTO THE EVENING HOURS
THEN OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH ELEVATED MOISTURE TRANSPORT.
DURING THE EVENING THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS. MAINLY ANYTIME AFTER 3PM THROUGH JUST AFTER SUNSET.
SEVERE STORMS COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL UP TO
PING-PONG BALL SIZE.

THE SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH INTO THE LATE EVENING
AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE THREAT TRANSITIONS TO
FLOODING. SHOWERS WITH SCATTERED THUNDER ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME
MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
IMPACTING MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. A
PORTION OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS COULD SEE SOME STRONGER STORMS AS
MOISTURE TRANSPORT INCREASES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH ON THIS. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF 1-2
INCHES IS EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WITH SOME AREAS
GETTING HIGHER AMOUNTS AND SOME AREAS LESS.

THESE SHOWERS/STORMS ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO PERSIST INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN AREAS AS THE UPPER WAVE
ENCROACHES ON THE AREA. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO PUSH
EAST...OUT OF THE AREA BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON.

HIGHS WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER BEHIND THE COOL FRONT FOR WEDNESDAY.
HIGHS IN THE 60S ARE EXPECTED. THIS IS SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN
SEASONAL NORMS FOR EARLY/MID MAY.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016

ALOFT: ONE LAST SHORTWAVE TROF WILL MOVE THRU THU THEN A PATTERN
CHANGE WILL BE COMPLETE...WITH SVRL DAYS OF NW FLOW. THE CLOSED LOW
CURRENTLY STALLED BETWEEN AK/HI WILL MOVE TO THE W COAST SAT AND
OPEN UP INTO A TROF AND BROADEN OVER THE WRN USA SUN-MON. IT WILL
PROBABLY HAVE MULTIPLE WEAKER EMBEDDED VORT MAXIMA THAT SHOULD BEGIN
TO EJECT ONTO THE PLAINS TUE.

SURFACE: CANADIAN HIGH PRES WILL SLIDE SE ACROSS THE CNTRL PLAINS
THU. A STRONG CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL PLUNGE S CROSSING THE FCST
AREA FRI FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRES SAT. ANOTHER COOL FRONT WILL SLIP
THRU SAT...PART OF A CLIPPER-TYPE SYSTEM DIVING INTO THE GREAT
LAKES...BUT THE CORE OF THE COOLER AIR WILL MISS TO THE E. A NEW
HIGH BUILDS OVER MUCH OF THE NRN USA MON-TUE.

GIVEN IMPENDING WX...AM FOREGOING A MORE DETAILED DSCN. BOTTOM LINE
IS BELOW NORMAL TEMPS SAT-MON. THE MODELS/POPS SEEM WAYYYY OVERDONE
WITH NO INSTABILITY AND NO FORCING. SO POPS WERE DRASTICALLY CUT IN
COORD WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1244 PM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016

THE MAIN AVIATION FORECAST CONCERNS ARE THE COOL FRONT MOVING
THROUGH WITH ITS ASSOCIATED WIND SHIFT AND STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
THAT WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AND PERSIST BEHIND IT. CLOUDS
WILL INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ALONG THE FRONT AFTER 22Z BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD AFTER 00-03Z.
THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT INSTABILITY WILL WANE...TRANSITIONING MORE
TO RAIN VS. THUNDERSTORMS. FLIGHT CONDITIONS COULD DROP TO MVFR
AND EVEN IFR FOR PERIODS IN THE HEAVIER RAINFALL. HAVE KEPT THESE
CONDITIONS OUT AT THIS TIME UNTIL CONFIDENCE INCREASES ON TIMING.

WINDS WILL SWITCH FROM THE SOUTH TO THE WEST AND EVENTUALLY THE
NORTH AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. WINDS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED TO BE
OVERLY STRONG WITH THE WINDS SWITCH.
