The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, May 31, 12:00 AM EDT, 8 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1200 AM EDT TUE MAY 31 2004

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT FORECAST IS PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK. HOWEVER WITH REGION STILL
EAST OF TROUGH AXIS AND A WEAK SFC TROUGH WORKING ACROSS THE
AREA...A FEW SHOWERS HAVE WORKED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES NEAR
THE VA AND TN BORDERS. THEY SHOULD DISSIPATE SHORTLY. OTHERWISE THE
FORECAST WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. DID ADJUST FOG WORDING TO VALLEY FOG
GIVEN CURRENT DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...

432 PM EDT MON MAY 31 2004

WENT SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE WITH TEMPERATURES TONIGHT DESPITE
CLEARING SKIES. THIS WILL BE HELPED JUST A SMALL BIT BY WINDS THAT
MAY BE A LITTLE SLOW TO DIE DOWN THIS EVENING...AND PLENTY OF
MOISTURE AROUND...BOTH AT THE SURFACE...AND PRESENT IN HIGHER
DEWPOINTS IN OBS. ALTHOUGH MARGINAL CONDITIONS FOR A RIDGE VALLEY
SPLIT MAY BE PRESENT LATE TONIGHT...VALLEY MOISTURE SHOULD HELP TO
RESULT IN SOME FOG...AND HIGHER OVERALL SPECIFIC HEAT...AND HELP TO
COUNTERACT VALLEY COOLING...IN ADDITION TO THE LACK OF A LITTLE
DEEPER LAYER WITH A SOUTHERLY WIND COMPONENT IN FORECAST SOUNDINGS.

WENT ABOVE GUIDANCE WITH POPS FOR TOMORROW...BUT STILL ONLY STAND AT
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ALL BUT NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES...GUIDANCE IS
ESSENTIALLY GOING FOR NIL POPS. FORCING WILL COMBINE WITH DECENT
LAPS RATES IN THE MID LEVELS TO RESULT IN A GOOD CU FIELDS...AND
SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY. MAIN AREA OF FORCING SHOULD SAG TO THE SOUTH
OF THE CWA SOME TIME WED AFTERNOON...WITH A SECONDARY TROUGH
BEGINNING TO WORK IN FROM THE NORTH. WITH TWO MECHANISMS IN THE
AREA...KEPT AT LEAST SLIGHT POPS IN THE AREA THROUGH WED
NIGHT...WITH CHANCE AGAIN APPEARING WED AFTERNOON.

WINDS TOMORROW WILL BE A BIT HIGH AS STEEP LAPSE AND PC SKIES WILL
COMBINE TO HELP MIX DOWN DECENT MOMENTUM TO THE SFC.

&&

1240 PM EDT MON MAY 31 2004

IN THE PROCESS OF DOING AN UPDATE. HAVE REMOVED FLOOD WATCH WHICH
EXPIRED. HAVE ALSO LOWER 1ST PERIOD POPS IN NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES.
BREAKS IN CLOUDS ARE WORKING INTO THE WEST CURRENTLY AS DRIER AIR
ARRIVES BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. IN SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES...WILL RAISE
SKY COVER TO GO WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY THIS AFTERNOON...SINCE IT LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL BE LATE TODAY BEFORE A SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE IN CLOUDS
ARRIVES. HAVE ALTERED ALL ZONES TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT AND
REMOVED PRECIP FROM TONIGHT. HAVE ALSO EXPANDED TEMP RANGE IN
SOUTHEAST COUNTIES TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME COOLER READINGS.

&&

435 AM EDT MON MAY 31 2004

SQUALL LINE HAS PUSHED THRU THE CWFA. BUSY NIGHT WITH NUMEROUS
WARNINGS (SVR/TOR/FFW) IN FACT EVERY COUNTY IN CWFA RECEIVED SOME
FORM OF WARNING. COLD FNT THAT SPAWNED THIS SYSTEM HAS JUST NOW
ENTERED WRN KY. THE COLD FNT COULD PRODUCE ANOTHER ROUND OF
TSRA/SHRA BUT WITH THE INTENSITY OF THE SQUALL LINE IT SHOULD BE
MOISTURE STARVED. STILL THERE IS ENUF TIME FOR SOME DAYTIME HEATING
AND THE MID LVL CAP MAY NOT BE STRONG ENUF TO STOP THE STORMS FROM
BUILDING. FOR NOW WILL KEEP AT LEAST CHC POP THRU SUNSET WHEN THE
FNT SHOULD FINALLY PUSH THRU.

BY EVENING...THE FRONT IS THROUGH THE CWA AND DRIER/COOLER HIGH
PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE INTO TUESDAY MORNING.  ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL DROP SOUTHEAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES DURING TUESDAY WITH
COLD AIR ALOFT PERHAPS INITIATING SOME DIURNAL CONVECTION. WENT
ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE MAV FOR TEMPS.

ONLY MINIMAL CHANGES WERE MADE TO EXTENDED SECTION DUE TO ONGOING
SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING.
