The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at May 12, 2:41 AM CST, 6 hours 32 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 341 AM CDT THU MAY 12 2011 .SYNOPSIS... SUBSTANTIAL DRY AIR CONTINUES TO WORK NORTH AND WEST AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY ANALYZED IN FAR EASTERN COLORADO. RADAR RETURNS OVER THE LAST HOUR /06Z/ HAVE BECOME LESS WIDESPREAD SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 BUT FURTHER NORTH...AN EXPANSIVE SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO WRAP NORTHWEST AROUND THE LOW. NEARLY AN INCH OF PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN COLLECTED AT KLBF OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS...WHICH HAS BEEN SAMPLED WELL BY THE KLNX RADAR DERIVED STORM TOTAL PRECIP ALGORITHM. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION ACCUMULATION LOOKS TO HAVE OCCURRED OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF KEITH COUNTY AND MOST OF ARTHUR COUNTY...WHERE RADAR DERIVED ESTIMATES OF 2.25 INCHES HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED. OTHERWISE THREE TROUGHS DOMINATE THE H5 LEVEL...WITH ONE ON EACH COAST AND THE OTHER REPRESENTED ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. SHORT WAVE RIDGING WAS NOTED AT 500 MB FROM THE SOUTHEASTERN US THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND THE OTHER ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN. AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE WAS CENTERED OVER KHLC...WITH AN BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER WYOMING. A COOL FRONT EXTENDS SOUTH AND NORTHEAST FROM THE HILL CITY SURFACE LOW. && .DISCUSSION... THE UPPER LEVEL LOW TO RELUCTANTLY WORK EAST ALONG THE KANSAS AND NEBRASKA BORDER TODAY CONTINUING THE THREAT OF PRECIPITATION FOR ALL OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THE PRONOUNCED DRY SLOT SHOULD LIMIT PRECIPITATION CHANCES INITIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...SO WILL LEAVE CHANCE POPS GOING FOR NOW...BUT INCREASED POPS CONSIDERABLY ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST...AS WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION LOOKS LIKELY THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY. HOWEVER AS THE SYSTEM PUSHES EAST...ENOUGH LIFT AND MOISTURE WILL RETURN OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWER DEVELOPMENT SO WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING THROUGH TONIGHT. AS FOR EXPECTED QPF...DID BACK OFF THE QPF FORECAST A BIT...WITH GENERALLY A QUARTER INCH OR LESS OF ADDITIONAL QPF EXPECTED AFTER 12Z THIS MORNING. BESIDES THE RAINFALL...STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL SHARE THE HEADLINES FOR TODAY. A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE FOR AREAS WEST OF HIGHWAY 61...AS SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH LOOK LIKELY WITH GUST POTENTIAL TO 45 MPH. EVEN WITH SUBSTANTIAL CLOUDS IN PLACE...BUFFER SOUNDINGS SHOW MIXING AOA 850MB THIS AFTERNOON WITH NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW FROM 925 TO 850MB. OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE TODAY...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 50S. NOW TONIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER CENTRAL CANADA...READINGS COULD FALL BACK INTO THE 30S OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA...THIS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH CLEARING OCCURS. TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE 30S FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AS WELL. WHILE MOST OF THE CWA IS PAST THE MEDIAN SPRING LAST FREEZE DATE /EXCEPT ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST WHERE THE MEDIAN IS AROUND MID MAY/...DO NOT FEEL THAT A FROST ADVISORY OR FREEZE WARNING WILL BE NEEDED AS TEMPERATURES LOOK TO REMAIN ABOVE 35F...BUT SHOULD BE WATCHED FURTHER. NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH LARGE SCALE FLOW TRANSITIONING FROM A BLOCKING PATTERN TO MORE PROGRESSIVE. CENTRAL US TROUGH WILL FINALLY MOVE SOUTHEAST WITH A SECONDARY VORT MAX DROPPING FROM CENTRAL CANADA ACROSS THE DAKOTAS. THE TWO LOW INTERACT/BECOME IN PHASE WITH EACH OTHER AND PUSH EAST INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. BY 12Z SATURDAY CHANNELIZED VORTICITY IS PRESENT FROM THE MAIN LOW NORTHWEST INTO EASTERN MONTANA. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DO DEVELOP QPF ALONG THE VORTICITY. NOT SOLD YET ON THIS OUTCOME AND WILL LEAVE THE INHERITED SLIGHT CHANCE PRECIPITATION POPS FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING GOING...BUT KEEP THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND DRY. OTHERWISE SHORTWAVE RIDGING LOOKS TO RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH A SLIGHT WARM UP TO FOLLOW UNTIL THE NEXT TROUGH ARRIVES MID WEEK. && .AVIATION... ...FOR THE KLBF AND KVTN TERMINALS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY... A SLOW MOVING...UPPER LEVEL LOW...WILL SPREAD ABUNDANT LOW CLOUDS...LIGHT PRECIPITATION AND GUSTY WINDS TO WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. LITTLE OR NO IMPROVEMENT IN AVIATION WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH 12Z ON FRIDAY. FOR THE KLBF AND KVTN TERMINALS...LOOK FOR NORTHERLY WINDS TO INCREASE...WITH GUSTS APPG 40 KTS THIS AFTERNOON. CLOUDY SKIES ARE LIKELY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WITH MVFR CEILINGS OF 1000 TO 2000 FT AGL EXPECTED. IFR CEILINGS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING...MAINLY AT THE KVTN TERMINAL. LIGHT RAIN IS LIKELY TODAY AND THIS EVENING...WITH VISIBILITIES ABOVE 6SM EXPECTED. && .HYDROLOGY... FLOOD CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE NORTH PLATTE RIVER AT THE NORTH PLATTE AND LEWELLEN GAUGE SITES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. STAGES AT THE NORTH PLATTE GAUGE WILL RISE SLIGHTLY TODAY IN RESPONSE TO RAINFALL AND RUNOFF FROM EARLIER TONIGHT. AT 1 AM CDT...THE GAUGE READING AT NORTH PLATTE ON THE NORTH PLATTE RIVER...WAS 6.56 FEET. THIS WAS HIGHER THAN THE 6.49 FEET REPORTED AT 7 PM CDT EARLIER THIS EVENING. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY TDY AS ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE MCCONAUGHY...COULD PUSH THIS ABOVE 6.6 FEET LATER TODAY...WHICH WOULD APPROACH THE SECOND HIGHEST STAGE ON RECORD OF 6.63 FEET...WHICH OCCURRED BACK IN 1983. && .LBF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...WIND ADVISORY FROM 6 AM THIS MORNING TO 6 PM MDT THIS EVENING FOR NEZ004-022-023-035-056>058-069. && SYNOPSIS/DISCUSSION...JACOBS AVIATION/HYDROLOGY...CLB
