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 Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 24, 2:53 PM CDT, 3 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 24, 2:53 PM CDT, 3 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 253 PM CDT Fri May 24 2019 .DISCUSSION... The current forecast is on track with mainly large hail the primary concern for the rest of this afternoon and evening along with heavy rain and flooding. The tornado threat is not incredibly high but will still exist for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Additional development could be just about anywhere within the FA. The current convection has developed some low level boundaries to the west which could produce additional convection among a very unstable atmosphere. Areas in the southern South Plains and Rolling Plains may also see additional development with stronger low level moisture and stronger southeasterly winds. Chances of severe storms will continue for the next several days with no letting up of the persistent southwest flow aloft. Another upper level jet streak will enter the southwestern CONUS on Saturday. This troughing will keep low level moisture in the area with a dryline remaining near the Texas/New Mexico state line. Isolated supercell coverage along the dryline will again be the favored storm mode for Saturday afternoon. The warm front that has been hanging around the area the past couple of days will retreat well to the north into the central Plains. We will also deal with low stratus again on Saturday morning possibly hanging on into the afternoon hours. This may keep CIN entrenched over the area for a longer period of time than seen today. Continued strong shear will support rotating supercells with large hail and heavy rain. The tornado threat will increase closer to the late afternoon and early evening hours as the the low level jet begins to increase. A more pronounced short wave will move out of the southwestern US on Sunday along with a stronger upper level jet max. This will generally provide stronger lift for expected convection on Sunday afternoon. Thunderstorm chances may come to an end on Monday as the dryline finally pushes east off the caprock and upper flow becomes more zonal for several days. However, by the end of next week, upper level winds may begin to back bringing storm chances back to the region. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
