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 Omaha, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 5, 5:54 PM CDT, 3 hours 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 5:54 PM CDT, 3 hours 15 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE
554 PM CDT TUE JUL 5 2016

.SHORT TERM...(tonight through Friday)
Issued at 245 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

Low pressure was located over southeast South Dakota at 18z with a
warm front extending from the low into central Minnesota and a
trough stretching into central Nebraska. This system will trigger
thunderstorms across the region tonight as it tracks east towards
the Upper Midwest. Lots of warm air across the area ahead of the
system this afternoon with 18Z sounding still showing a cap in
place. Main development is expected north of the area ahead of the
surface low initially this afternoon then along the trough over
central Nebraska by late afternoon into the evening with the whole
system pushing east overnight.

High dewpoints were also located across the area at 19z with mid
to upper 70s common in southeast Nebraska into southwest Iowa.
Will continue with Heat Advisory until expiration this evening as
many sites at or close to criteria early this afternoon. High
clouds may hamper temperatures a bit but most sites likely to
still reach 90 or above during the afternoon.

Area still looks to be between systems on Wednesday with the day
mainly dry before next threat of storms comes back Wednesday night
into Thursday as the next cold front drops into the area. Dry and
not as hot conditions follow behind the front Friday.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 245 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

Pattern goes through some additional amplification over the
weekend as ridge builds into Canada with deep troughs on each
coast. Some hit or miss thunderstorms during this time with
better chance during the overnight periods. Stronger wave comes
into the Northern Rockies by early next week with trough extending
into the central plains. As this trough swings across the region
another good chance of storms returns for Monday.

&&

.AVIATION...(00Z TAFS for KOMA...KLNK...KOFK through 00Z Thursday)
Issued at 555 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

Low confidence forecast but expect mainly VFR conditions outside
of any thunderstorm activity until late tonight. Some fog is
possible a few hours before and after sunrise. Thunderstorm
coverage looks too spotty to have much mention if TAFS...but did
have a PROB30 group for KLNK and KOMA late. Storms may increase
in coverage to our west this evening and spread eastward.
