CWAWhat 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 Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 10, 2:10 PM CDT, 2 hours 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 10, 2:10 PM CDT, 2 hours 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 210 PM CDT Wed May 10 2017 .DISCUSSION... Hi-res models are generally in good agreement with thunderstorms across mainly the northeastern third of the forecast area this afternoon. This area is downstream from a large upper low centered over New Mexico, has a healthy amount of low level moisture that remains in place despite the early morning MCS that moved across the area, and has an elevated mixed layer spreading northward from the Permian Basin. Dry low level air working northward will help concentrate chances to the northeast, although low level moisture may hang on across the far southeast part of the forecast area. Models have been consistent in moving storms out of the area by 00Z. That timing seems about right, but with the upper low still the west it seems prudent to hang onto a 20-30 percent chance mention this evening. The upper low is progged to move across the Panhandle on Thursday. There could be a few showers try to develop as far south as the northern row of the forecast area, but all the guidance is keeping precip to the north of us, and we will maintain a dry forecast at this time. The low moving out onto the High Plains will usher a cold front south through the forecast area during the day, setting up a pretty good gradient in the high temperature forecast with lower 70s northwest to upper 80s southeast. With the upper low moving to our east Friday, a quieter period will be ushered in. Surface ridging will settle in across the area Friday with light north winds favoring cooler than normal temperatures in line with MOS guidance. However, a quick rebound to above normal temperatures is expected for the weekend as upper level ridging moves overhead. Finally, there remains the possiblity of an active dryline Sunday through Wednesday with the ridge moving to the east and cyclonic flow moving over the west. There is no strong signal in the models yet, so will continue to favor slight chance wording for mainly the eastern half of the area. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && 07
