The radar

The Grand Island radar (KUEX), 121 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:58 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

N. Platte/Lee Bi, NE (KLBF), launched 12:00Z, 9.9 hours before the alert went out and 112 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

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 Hastings, NE wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 16, 3:10 PM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 16, 3:10 PM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Hastings NE
310 PM CDT Wed Aug 16 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 258 PM CDT Wed Aug 16 2017

Concern in the short term involves small precipitation chances this
afternoon into early evening.

Current water vapor imagery from GOES-16 showing the mid level
trough from central SDak and into western Neb & KS continues to
slowly churn to the east. At the current speed, the trough axis
should be near the eastern edge of the CWA around sunset. Meanwhile
at the surface, low pressure was located about 30 miles NNE of OMA
with cold front extending south into northeast KS, and then curving
SW into northern OK. Dewpoints in the low to mid 70s ahead of the
front, with lower 60s behind the front across our CWA.

Widespread precipitation still ongoing with this large system,
with thunderstorms continuing along the warm conveyor belt from
Missouri to Iowa, and stratiform rain in the cold conveyor belt in
Minnesota and SDak. Wrap around showers have been working through
north central Neb this morning, and these have been working ever
so slowly towards the northwest part of the CWA. Given our CWA
will still be ahead of the mid level trough axis this afternoon
and we will still have modest instability with mu-CAPE values
around 1000 J/Kg, expect isolated thunderstorms until this evening
when trough moves east and we lose diurnal heating. While its
possible some storms could be strong, IR satellite imagery showing
cloud tops have not been cooling any more between 19 and 20Z so
all in all, they may be more of the garden variety type. Next
shift can continue to monitor this trend.

Otherwise it should be quiet overnight and during the daytime
Thursday with surface high pressure moving across the area. High
temps on Thursday should be just a tad below normal for this time of
year, while winds will west in the 5-15 mph range.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 258 PM CDT Wed Aug 16 2017

A quasi-zonal pattern is progged into the early part of
next week. During this period, it appears we will have several
shortwaves moving along the northern jet, which will bring
various rain chances to our CWA. The first of these looks to be
Thursday night into Friday morning. Progged instability marginal
so am not expecting severe storms Thu night. Extended models
differ in timing of subsequent waves, but at this time hard to
rule out tstm chances almost every evening and night from Sat
through next Tuesday. Might be a slight pattern change by the
middle of next week with upper ridge building into the Rockies.
This won't necessarily keep it dry here as waves could rotate
around the ridge.

.ECLIPSE...
A total Solar Eclipse will occur Monday August 21st around 1pm
CDT.

Plenty of uncertainty continues for the eclipse forecast,
especially regarding clouds. Both the latest operational runs of
the GFS and ECMWF point to zonal flow in the mid levels with
various disturbances pushing through the northern stream. It
always comes down to timing with no exception here. With any luck,
our CWA will be between shortwaves and the area will experience
at least partly sunny conditions. As noted in earlier discussions,
it will most likely be the weekend before we have a better handle
on this. On a brighter note, don't see any upslope flow
conditions for next Monday which would be good news for eclipse
viewers.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 18Z Thursday)
Issued at 1209 PM CDT Wed Aug 16 2017

Ceilings may vary between VRF and MVFR this afternoon and then
expect VFR conditions for the rest of the forecast period. Surface
winds have become NW behind the passage of a surface cold front
this morning, and should remain that direction during the next 24
hours. Could still see cumulus development and a few showers this
afternoon ahead of a 500 trough that was moving into western
Nebraska around noon. However, coverage should be less than 30
percent so will leave out of TAF for now.

1052 AM CDT Wed Aug 16 2017

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and
portions of north central Kansas.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and Tonight.

There is a small chance of isolated, hit-and-miss thunderstorm
activity through around sunset, but severe storms and heavy
rainfall are not anticipated.

Due to widespread heavy rain of generally 3 to 7 inches that fell
between Tuesday afternoon and this morning, Flood Warnings remain
in effect into this evening for portions of several Nebraska
counties mainly north of a line from Kearney, to Hastings, to
York. Please refer to the Flood Warning statements for further
details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

Periodic chances for thunderstorms are expected across portions
of the outlook area between Thursday night and Tuesday. At this
time...the best chance for more widespread activity appears to be
late Thursday night through early Friday morning...with chances
becoming more spotty thereafter.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected through tonight, but any
reports of flooding would be appreciated.
