The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 7.8 hours before the alert went out and 167 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 11, 2:39 AM CDT, 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
339 AM EDT FRI APR 11 2008

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...

...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TO CONTINUE THIS MORNING AND THEN ANOTHER
SHOT OF SEVERE WEATHER AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON EAST OF I-65...

7Z RADAR TRENDS SHOWING STRONG STORMS OVER FORECAST AREA (FA) WITH A
FEW SEVERE STORMS IN SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY.  EXPECT THE THREAT FOR
SEVERE STORMS TO CONTINUE ALONG THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH MAINLY OVER
THE KENTUCKY COUNTIES.  THERE HAS ALSO BEEN SOME FLASH FLOODING AND
SOME FLOOD ADVISORIES ISSUED OVER OUR SW INDIANA COUNTIES.  EXPECT
THAT ANY FLOODING THREAT IN THESE COUNTIES WILL SOON BE COMING TO AN
END SOON HOWEVER AS STORMS ARE MOVING EAST OF THE AREA.

THE CURRENT LINE OF STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO REMAIN STRONG THROUGH
12Z WITH A SLIGHT SEVERE THREAT TO CONTINUE.  THE MAIN THREAT WOULD
BE DAMAGING WINDS.  THEN WE SHOULD HAVE A LULL IN ACTIVITY AFTER
THIS LINE GETS THROUGH UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON.  AS THE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES...A NEW LINE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON ALONG THIS FEATURE.  THERE IS A CHANCE THAT STORMS WOULD
BE SEVERE...HOWEVER THIS SHOULD IMPACT MAINLY AREAS EAST OF I-65.
THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL AGAIN BE DAMAGING WINDS
ALTHOUGH MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL IS POSSIBLE.

THE FRONT SHOULD BE EAST OF THE FA BY 0Z TO 3Z TONIGHT ENDING PRECIP
ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL REMAIN QUITE STRONG.  COULD SEE GUSTS UP TO 35
TO 40 MPH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION WAS USED DUE TO ON-GOING SEVERE
WEATHER:

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE LONGER TERM WITH SHOWERS OCCURRING IN THE
MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT WILL SPREAD ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY SATURDAY INTO MONDAY.
AFTER THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON...COOLER
AIR WILL BEGIN TO FLOW INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. IN ADDITION DRIER
AIR WILL BRING A TEMPORARY END TO THE SHOWERS FOR PARTS OF FRIDAY
NIGHT.  EXPECT THE DRY SLOT TO REMAIN OVER MUCH OF THE AREA FRIDAY
NIGHT AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF SATURDAY MORNING.  HOWEVER AS THE
UPPER TROUGH ROTATES SOUTH TOWARD THE OHIO RIVER SATURDAY
MORNING...CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AND SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL ONCE AGAIN
DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE SHOWERS WILL
DECREASE SOME DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BUT A SECOND TROUGH WILL
TRIGGER AND INCREASE IN SHOWERS ON SUNDAY.  THIS UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
WILL SLOWLY EXIT THE REGION ON MONDAY.

TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY WILL BE NOTICEABLY COOLER THAN FRIDAY/S
MILD READINGS...WITH HIGHS ON SATURDAY ONLY IN THE LOWER AND MID
50S. BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WILL MAKE THE AIR FEEL
EVEN COLDER.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER AROUND 50 DEGREES AGAIN SUNDAY AND
MONDAY WITH MORNING LOWS IN THE MID 30S.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AND
WILL GRADUALLY TRACK EAST ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTH CENTRAL
INDIANA. THE HIGH WILL SETTLE OFF THE GEORGIA AND CAROLINA COAST ON
THURSDAY AND THIS SHOULD KEEP THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY DRY FOR SEVERAL
DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOL THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK WITH
TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK INTO THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S BY
THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAFS)...

MAIN TAF CONCERN WILL BE LINE OF CONVECTION ALONG PREFRONTAL TROUGH
JUST TO THE WEST OF TAF SITES.  THIS CONVECTION SHOULD BE AT BWG
AROUND 7Z TO 10Z...SDF 8Z TO 11Z...AND LEX 9Z TO 12Z.  EXPECT STRONG
POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS LINE WITH MVFR CIGS AND
VSBYS IN THE TSTORMS.

THERE WILL BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF VFR CIGS AND VSBYS AFTER THIS LINE
GETS THROUGH NEAR DAWN...BUT ANOTHER LINE OF STRONG POSSIBLY SEVERE
STORMS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE THROUGH THE TAF SITES TOMORROW
AFTERNOON ALONG A COLD FRONT. MVFR RESTRICTIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE
AGAIN WITH THESE STORMS.

AS FAR AS WINDS GO...EXPECT GUSTY GRADIENT WINDS TONIGHT AHEAD OF
THE TROUGH.  WILL ALSO INCLUDE LLWS AS A GOOD JET GETS GOING THIS
MORNING.  GRADIENT WINDS WILL AGAIN BE GUSTY UP TO 30 TO 35 KTS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.  SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE
THE TWO WAVES OF STORMS EXPECTED.  WILL HANDLE WITH TEMPOS AS THE
STORMS GET CLOSER.
