What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Omaha, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Sep 16, 12:21 AM CDT, 3 hours 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 16, 12:21 AM CDT, 3 hours 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE
1221 AM CDT FRI SEP 16 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 742 PM CDT THU SEP 15 2016

Very compact area of thunderstorms continues across northeast NE
and west central IA this evening. This cluster is being fed by
continued warm moist advection on the nose of low level jet. The
00z KOAX sounding yielded 1.83" of precipitable water, which is
just shy of the record 2.0 for this date.  This cluster was
responsible for several supercells earlier with many reports of
funnel clouds and large hail. Through time, it has transitioned to
heavy rain and wind. The flash flood watch issued earlier captures
this area very well, and 4 flash flood warnings remain in effect.
We are now getting reports of water over streets and low lying
areas in many of the warning polygons, with radar estimating 2.5
to 3 inches over a very wide area. 1 severe warning remains in
effect for both wind and hail. The severe watch that was issued
late in the afternoon was trimmed a bit on the southern edge to
remove the Omaha and Council Bluffs metro areas since it appears
that storms were setting up just north of the area. The original
watch is valid until 9 pm and that appears to be working out, and
will make a final decision if any counties may need an extension
for within the next 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, storms are developing west of the region tonight across
central NE and northwest KS. These storms are expected to continue
to roll eastward overnight, moving into our forecast area as early
as 11 pm in northeast NE, then spreading eastward into other areas
through the night. These storms will also have a wind and hail
threat, but may also be fighting an unfavorable time of day.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(tonight through Sunday)
Issued at 301 PM CDT THU SEP 15 2016

Primary concern tonight is convective development and overall
effects as an upstream trough and cold front move into the region.

Convection has festered most of the morning in northeast NE and
while it was never strong, it was very efficient at generating
rainfall with a report of 4.3 inches in Knox county. Additional
convection has fired in northeast NE this afternoon in response to
the tail end of the first piece of energy moving away from the
region...within an overall very moist environment with PW values
around 150% of normal this morning.

20z objective surface analysis indicated the cold front was well
west of the forecast area, however a subtle warm front had pushed
through the mid Missouri valley with temps now in the lower 80s
across much of the area. Most recent HRRR model continues to
suggest strong and possibly severe storm development in northeast
NE into northwest IA...which may become more west/east oriented
resulting in training of cells through the evening north of the
Platte River. Am concerned that given environmental moisture which
is 1-2 standard deviations above normal, warm cloud depths, high
moisture transport on a continued low level jet, this is an area
that could be primed for flash flooding given 300-500% above
normal rainfall in the last 7 days. Thus will issue a flash flood
watch for a few counties north of the Platte River tonight.
Elsewhere, while heavy rain will be possible with storms as the
upper low pushes in from the west, enough of a cold pool may
develop to help keep storms progressive.

Regarding severe potential tonight, environmental shear of 30-40
knots combined with mixed CAPE of 2000-2500 J/Kg should be
sufficient for rotating storms with wind and hail potential in the
stronger storms, but given decent low level turning near the warm
frontal boundary there will also be a small tornado threat that
we'll have to monitor. Will have fairly high pops 60-80% across
the forecast area tonight, with timing initially in northeast NE,
then spreading east southeast into the remainder of the forecast
area by late evening and overnight.

Storm chances linger in southeast NE on Friday, but should push
east of the forecast area Friday evening.

Dry and mild weather persists Saturday. Models hint at a weak wave
quickly moving across the Plains Saturday night so have added a
slight chance of rain for some areas. Wave should be east of the
area by Sunday with dry weather expected.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 301 PM CDT THU SEP 15 2016

Dry weather early in the period, with rain chances returning by
Tuesday night through Thursday, although models are not in good
agreement with the GFS more bullish on precip and the ECMWF more
dry.

&&

.AVIATION...(06Z TAFS for KOFK...KLNK and KOMA.)
Issued at 1217 AM CDT FRI SEP 16 2016

Scattered thunderstorms will affect all eastern Nebraska TAF sites
through 12Z. KOFK is on the north side of the strongest storms,
so mainly VFR showers with a brief MVFR thunderstorm. KOMA and
KLNK will see occasional storms with about a two-hour window when
IFR vsbys/cigs and strong winds will be possible. All thunderstorm
activity is expected to move east of TAF sites by or shortly after
12Z with VFR conditions and winds turning to the northwest to
follow.
