The radar

The Jackson,KY radar (KJKL), 80 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:25 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 flash flood 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

Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 12:00Z, 9.4 hours before the alert went out and 172 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, Jun 25, 3:04 PM EDT, 2 hours 19 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
304 PM EDT THU JUN 25 2009

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...

CURRENTLY...A WEAK SHORTWAVE OVER SRN OHIO COMBINED WITH WEAK SFC
BOUNDARIES AND UNSTABLE AIR HAS LED TO A FEW STRONG STORMS MAINLY
ALONG AND EAST OF 1-75 FOR NOW...TOUGH AN EASTWARD EXTENT TO I-65 IS
POSSIBLE. THIS COVERAGE SHOULD INCREASE AS THE SHORTWAVE CONTINUES
TO SLIDE SEWD...BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVITY WILL STAY OVER THE
BLUEGRASS AND ERN KY. THE STRONGEST CELLS WILL PRODUCE STRONG WINDS
AND TORRENTIAL RAINFALL...POSSIBLY LOCALIZED/ISOLATED FLOODING GIVEN
THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THESE STORMS. THIS ACTIVITY...IF IT DOES NOT
EXIT THE CWA SOONER...WILL WANE AFTER 8PM EDT.

OVERNIGHT ANOTHER SHORTWAVE OVER THE UPPER MS VALLEY REGION WILL
DIVE SE TOWARDS THE REGION. CONVECTION HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED
DOWNSTREAM OF THIS UPPER WAVE...ALONG A WEAK SFC BOUNDARY ACROSS THE
SRN GREAT LAKES. THE NAM AND GFS SHOW CONVECTION CONTINUING ALONG IT
AS THE FRONT APPROACHES THE OHIO RIVER AROUND 15Z FRIDAY MORNING. SO
WE EXPECT A BREAK IN PRECIP OVERNIGHT BEFORE THE GREAT LAKES FRONT
AND UPPER WAVE APPROACHES. ONCE THIS ARRIVES OVER THE NRN CWA FRIDAY
MORNING...MUCH OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD HAVE WEAKENED...AND EXPECT
IT TO REDEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT...MAINLY OVER THE ERN CWA...FRIDAY
LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS THE FRONT SLIDES TO THE
SE. WILL LOWER POPS FROM 00-06Z...AND RAMP BACK UP TOWARDS FRI
MORNING. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL AGAIN BE IN THE LOWER 70S GENERALLY.
FRIDAY HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOW 90S AGAIN...EXCEPT OVER THE
BLUEGRASS GIVEN THE HIGHER CHANCE FOR CLOUDS/PRECIP THERE SO HAVE
MID-UPPER 80S GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-75. AGAIN...A FEW STRONG
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY
RAIN BEING THE MAIN THREAT.

FRIDAY NIGHT...THAT FRONT SHOULD MOSTLY BE OUT OF OUR CWA...BUT HELD
ONTO SLIGHT CHC POPS ENDING BEFORE MIDNIGHT OVER THE SERN HALF OF
THE CWA. THEN WE SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT AND
THROUGH SATURDAY. SATURDAY SHOULD BE WARM AND DRY...WITH HIGHS IN
THE LOWER 90S AGAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BEGIN DROPPING TO THE SOUTHEAST OUT OF
CANADA ON SUNDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL USHER THROUGH A COLD FRONT
DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING
SUNDAY MORNING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WITH PRECIPITATION
EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF THROUGH THE DAY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AS
THE FRONT TRAVERSES THE FORECAST AREA. WITH THE CLOUDS AND
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY IT LOOKS
LIKE THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE HELD DOWN IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.

THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DROP DOWN OVER THE GREAT
LAKES REGION WHERE IT BEGINS TO DEEPEN THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE
WEEK. THE MAIN CHALLENGES WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE TEMPERATURES AND
THE QUESTION OF PRECIPITATION. ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE BACK SIDE
OF THE LOW WILL SPARK SOME PRECIPITATION. DEPENDING ON HOW FAR SOUTH
AND WEST THIS FEATURE SETTLES WE COULD SEE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIP
ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
IN AT THE SURFACE AND SOME QUESTION ABOUT THIS SCENARIO...WILL LEAVE
THE FORECAST DRY THROUGH THURSDAY.

WITH THE UPPER LOW IN PLACE THE AREA WILL REMAIN IN NORTHWEST FLOW.
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AREA...WITH TUESDAY HIGHS RANGING FROM THE LOWER 80S OVER THE
BLUEGRASS REGION TO THE MID 80S OVER THE SOUTHWEST. AFTER TUESDAY A
GRADUAL WARM UP WILL BEGIN THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAFS)...

A WEAK BOUNDARY MOVING SEWD FROM SOUTHERN OHIO AND INDIANA WILL AT
THE VERY LEAST GENERATE SCT TOWERING CU/ISOLATED CB FROM 3-4KFT.
UNTIL COVERAGE BECOMES MORE THAN ISOLATED...WILL CARRY VCSH AT
SDF...VCTS AND CB IN AT LEX AND WILL KEEP BWG DRY FOR NOW. THIS
ACTIVITY SHOULD STAY FOCUSED ALONG THE WEAK BOUNDARY...AND SHOULD
WANE AFTER SUNSET...ROUGHLY 02Z. AFTER THAT...A FEW MVFR VSBYS WILL
BE POSSIBLE DUE TO BR/LIGHT FG EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

THEN...ANOTHER WEAK FRONT WILL APPROACH OUR AREA FROM THE NW
OVERNIGHT...AND WILL BRING SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA TO THE REGION. AS OF
NOW THE BEST CHANCE LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN 06-14Z EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.
AFTER THE FRONT PASSES...SFC WINDS WILL VEER AROUND TO THE NW FOR
THE LATTER PART OF THIS TAF PERIOD...WITH CONTINUED CHANCES FOR
SHRA/TSRA AT THE SDF AND LEX TERMINALS. BEST CHANCE AFTER 14Z FRIDAY
WILL BE AT LEX.
