What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Louisville, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Apr 2, 9:45 PM EDT, 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 9:45 PM EDT, 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
945 PM EDT SUN APR 2 2006

.EVENING UPDATE:...
WILL UPDATE TO ADD TORNADO WATCH FOR ECENTRL KY.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW:

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS PARTS OF
FORECAST AREA AT MID AFTERNOON WITH CONSIDERABLY MORE DEVELOPMENT
ACROSS THE TENNESSEE. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE
NORTHEAST AND REACH SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY BY LATE AFTERNOON. WARM
FRONT HAS MOVED NORTH ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA AND WILL TRACK NORTH
INTO CENTRAL INDIANA BY LATE AFTERNOON.

COMPLEX FORECAST FOR TONIGHT WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND
STRONGER STORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF COLD FRONT. AIR HAS DESTABILIZED
IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH SURFACE BASED LIS -9 ACROSS PARTS OF
MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS. EXPECT TWO SHOTS AT SEVERE WEATHER. FIRST
THIS EVENING AS THE STORMS IN TENNESSEE MOVE NORTHEAST FROM
TENNESSEE. SECOND WILL BE LATER THIS EVENING INTO EARLY OVERNIGHT AS
UNSTABLE AIR FROM MISSOURI WORKS EAST AND COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO
CENTRAL KENTUCKY.

UPPER LEVEL JET WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY BY 06Z WITH A
STRONGER JET STREAK BEHIND IT. 40 TO 50 KT WINDS AT 850 MB WILL ALSO
AID IN STRONG WINDS GUSTS AS THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP INTO LINES
TONIGHT.

ON MONDAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES TO THE EAST...WRAP AROUND MOISTURE
WILL KEEP CLOUDS OVER THE AREA. COLDER AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH
COLD CORE LOW TO OUR NORTH WILL KEEP AIR UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR
SCATTERED SHOWERS TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF
OF THE FORECAST AREA.

TEMPERATURES WILL NOT RISE MUCH DURING THE DAY MONDAY WITH
READINGS REMAINING NEARLY STEADY THROUGH THE DAY. WILL GO A LITTLE
COOLER THAN GFS MOS BUT BELIEVE NAM MOS IS TOO COOL...ESPECIALLY AT
LEX. WILL GO WITH A BLEND.

SCHOLZ

.LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

FAIRLY BENIGN WEATHER PATTERN FOR THIS PERIOD. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING TROUGH.
AT THE SURFACE COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM
THE NORTHERN PLAINS. SKIES WILL CLEAR BETWEEN 00Z AND 12Z TUESDAY
AND REMAIN CLEAR UNTIL HIGH CLOUDS INCREASE LATE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. ONLY CONCERN WILL BE TEMPERATURES TUESDAY MORNING. MODEL
GUIDANCE NUMBERS ARE CONSISTENT WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER 30S. THIS
COMBINED WITH DIMINISHING WINDS WILL MAKE FROST A DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY ESPECIALLY ACROSS EAST CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN
INDIANA.

READINGS WILL REBOUND TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS HIGHS TOP OUT IN THE
UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S. TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL BE A FEW
DEGREES WARMER.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

MID RANGE MODELS ARE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY RESOLVING THE UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN FOR THIS FORECAST PERIOD. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE
ADDITIONAL ENERGY DROPPING INTO THE EASTERN UNITED STATES TROUGH AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD AND AN ADDITIONAL TROUGH DEVELOPING OFF
THE WEST COAST. THIS WILL AFFECT THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF A TROUGH
OVER THE INTERIOR WEST AT 00Z THURSDAY. FOR CONSISTENCY WE WILL USE
THE GFS ENSEMBLE FOR THIS FORECAST. SHOWERS AND SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY THURSDAY AS A
WARM FRONT TRAVELS NORTH THROUGH THE REGION. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE FRIDAY IN THE WARM MOIST AIRMASS AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT. PRECIPITATION SHOULD END FRIDAY NIGHT. FOR NOW WE WILL KEEP
MOST OF SATURDAY AND SUNDAY DRY.

AS MENTIONED THIS IS A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST AND WE MAY NEED TO
ADD PRECIPITATION TO NEXT WEEKENDS FORECAST IF THE EUROPEAN AND
CANADIAN MODELS VERIFY.  --JA
