MASEKWhat 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 27, 2:45 PM MDT, 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 2:45 PM MDT, 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 345 PM CDT WED JUL 27 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 341 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 Ridge dominating the desert southwest. Northwest flow across the high plains. Train of disturbances riding the northern periphery of the ridge, which takes them over the CWA. One wave is exiting the southeast with another wave over southwest S Dakota. Generally seasonal temperatures with 3 PM CDT in the lower to mid 80s. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 341 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 The major concern over the next 24 hours will be placement of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Models not really having a good handle on the convection that has fired along the Neb/S. Dakota border. A surface trough continues to slowly drift to the southeast, which was the focus for a line of showers earlier. This line is starting to see more development, however in the next few hours the boundary should be located southeast of the CWA. Meanwhile eyes will begin to track the second wave which is just crossing into the CWA. Storms have already fired along the boundary and will likely remain isolated to scattered as the boundary drifts to the southeast. Marginal instability with cape of 1000 to 2000 with 0 to 6 km shear around 30 kts. Better shear develops later however the cape will diminish. Locally an isolated strong or severe storm will possible and agree mostly with the SPC marginal risk across the west although it probably could be a little further to the east to cover the storms by KVTN. Some clearing is possible overnight with temps similar to last night in the upper 50s to around 60s. Tomorrow another day with another couple of waves that will continue to keep at least low pops in the forecast. In and out of clouds and a slightly cooler airmass will result in temps a couple degrees cooler than today. Highs in the lower to mid 80s. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 341 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 Models in good agreement and have good confidence in the forecast. Stationary boundary lying across the panhandle and upper 250mb jet overhead but weakening as stronger to mid level wave moves through in fast northwest flow. Have higher pops over southwest zones along the boundary. lows in the upper 50s northwest to the low 60s southwest. Boundary continues to the west with upslope flow and mid level waves moving across the northern plains through the day on Friday. Residual showers thunderstorms through the day on Friday with highs in the low 80s due to cloud cover and precipitation. Broad trough over the Great Lakes Saturday with deepening closed low over western Canada will allow ridge to build back into the central and northern plains. A warm front will spread northeast across the forecast area with highs in the mid to upper 80s. A few showers isolated thunderstorm can't be ruled out along the warm front over north central Nebraska Saturday afternoon. Low pressure moves into the northern plains Sunday with the trough axis to the west and most of western Nebraska in the warm sector. Highs in the 90s. Upper closed low along the Canadian border will push a front through the forecast area on Monday with highs in the 90s Monday and Tuesday. Front will be the focus for thunderstorm development late afternoon and early evening as it lies across southwest Nebraska. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 105 PM CDT Wed Jul 27 2016 A broken band of light rain showers will drift across southwest Nebraska this afternoon and could impact the KLBF terminal. A better chance will be the next wave later this afternoon into this evening. Latest short term models favor locations to the southwest of KVTN however will continue to monitor as an amendment may be needed if impact to the terminal changes. At this time the coverage/confidence is not high enough to include in the forecast. && .LBF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... None. && SYNOPSIS...Masek SHORT TERM...Masek LONG TERM...Power AVIATION...Masek
