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 Jun 29, 3:44 PM CDT, 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 3:44 PM CDT, 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service North Platte NE 344 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 343 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017 A SFC frontal boundary draped across Ncntl Neb near Oneill north to around Winner SD is expected to be the focus for severe storm development late this afternoon through early evening. Storm coverage is expected to be isolated to scattered and quite severe given the high CAPE and 50 kt 500mb winds aloft. The 15z-18z HRRR radar product depicted a bow echo producing model generated winds gusts as high as 95 mph. The forecast storm was east of Holt County in the Missouri river valley. Some models like the NAM and HRRR EXP were a bit farther west with storm initiation. The location of the front around 21z this afternoon will likely dictate the location of storm development. There is a chance for storm development off the nrn portions of the Front range and Laramie range this afternoon which could drift into Swrn Neb this evening. Not sure if it will make it into Swrn Neb since this area will be post-frontal. Otherwise the forecast is dry tonight. The model consensus indicates a weakly organized area of showers and thunderstorms, currently affecting the Tetons and Big Horn range, will move into Garden County Friday morning and affect the Cntl Sandhills throughout the day. Blended guidance plus bias correction suggested highs in the 70s Friday with mostly cloudy skies. H700mb temperatures fall into the low single digits celsius. Lows tonight fall into the 50s to lower 60s using the same guidance blend. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday) Issued at 343 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017 The ECM is about 6 hours slower with the convective system forecast to develop off the Black Hills Sunday afternoon. The model waits until 06z to carry it into Nrn Neb. The GFS and GEM are faster igniting storms off the Black Hills around 18z. The GFS model also suggests storm activity forming on the Cheyenne Divide which moves through Swrn Neb. The POP forecast is for scattered storm coverage which is appropriate for a high CAPE capped atmosphere with H700mb temperatures in the 10-12C range. Note GFS and ECM indicate HP storm type QPF totals with bulls-eyes of 1-inch+ amounts. There is a chance that the models are too fast developing storms Sunday and the better rain chance could be Monday. The forecast carries a chance POP Monday afternoon for storm development. No other rain chances are in place; just isolated thunderstorms here and there. The upper level ridge of high pressure across Old Mexico will build north toward the Cntl Plains Sunday and present hot weather Tuesday through Thursday. There is a chance rain cooled air could enter Nebraska and take the edge off temperatures. This would be the result of outflow from storms across the Nrn Plains. The temperature forecast is for upper 80s to mid 90s Sunday and beyond. This could be conservative given the 12-14C 700mb temperatures that are forecast by the models. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon) Issued at 1230 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017 VFR is generally expected this afternoon, tonight and Friday. A SFC frontal boundary draped across Ncntl Neb near Oneill north to around Winner SD is expected to be the focus for mostly isolated severe storm development late this afternoon through early evening. The location of the front around 21z this afternoon will dictate the location of storm development. The model consensus indicates a weakly organized area of showers and thunderstorms, currently affecting the Tetons and Big Horn range, will move into Garden County Friday morning and affect the Cntl Sandhills throughout the day. The SREF and other models, except for the NAM, indicate VFR CIGS. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && SHORT TERM...CDC LONG TERM...CDC AVIATION...CDC
