What forecasters said that day

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.

NWS Louisville, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 20, 5:38 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 20, 5:38 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
538 PM EDT SUN SEP 20 2009

.MESO UPDATE...

LINE OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS OUR NW CWA SHOWING SIGNS OF
WEAK ROTATION...WITH ONE STORM AHEAD OF THE LINE IN HARRISON COUNTY
INDIANA SHOWING PERSISTENT ROTATION (TOR WARNING ON THAT NOW).
ANOTHER ONE SHOWING ROTATION IN SW HARRISON COUNTY AS WELL.

OVERALL WILL STILL BE CONCERNED WITH HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH
FLOODING...AS PORTIONS OF THE AREA (EASTERN CRAWFORD COUNTY INDIANA)
HAVE RECEIVED OVER THREE INCHES OF RAIN WITH DOPPLER RADAR STORM
TOTAL ESTIMATES AGREEING. HOWEVER VWP SHOWING WEAK DEEP LAYER
SHEAR...WITH SOME BACKING WINDS AT THE SURFACE...SO POSSIBLE TORNADO
THREAT AS WELL.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WERE
CURRENTLY SPREADING NORTH/NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. THIS
PRECIPITATION WAS DEVELOPING IN RESPONSE TO A MID LEVEL TROUGH
NOSING INTO WESTERN WESTERN KY/TN ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
SOUTHWARD INTO AR AND MS. AHEAD OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH...MOISTURE
WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM INTO THE REGION AND PRECIPITATION SHOULD
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AS MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ROTATE
NORTHWARD FROM MS/TN.

THE 12Z NAM INITIALIZED VERY WELL AND SO FAR SEEMS TO BE VERIFYING
QUITE WELL THIS AFTERNOON. THE 12Z GFS ALSO INITIALIZED PRETTY WELL
BUT IT WAS APPARENT THAT IT WAS SUFFERING FROM SOME FEEDBACK ISSUES
SO WILL RELY MORE ON THE NAM SOLUTION FOR TONIGHT INTO MONDAY.
THEREFORE...RAIN CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH
SOME OF THE RAIN BEING HEAVY AT TIME. ALTHOUGH THE AREA HAS ALREADY
SEEN RAINFALL VALUES OF AROUND ONE AND A HALF INCHES...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...MOST LOCATIONS ARE
STILL WELL BELOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE AND DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY
FLOODING SO NO WATCHES ARE PLANNED AS THE GROUND CAN STILL TAKE
QUITE A BIT OF WATER.

THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED VORT MAX WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD
OVERNIGHT PROPAGATING THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP FROM AREAS WEST OF
INTERSTATE 65 BEFORE MIDNIGHT TO SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTH CENTRAL
KY AFTER MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER...THE NAM DOES INDICATE A SHORTWAVE
IMPULSE MIGRATING THROUGH THE FLOW AND WIDESPREAD RAIN COULD FALL
ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA THROUGH THE NIGHT IF THIS IN FACT DOES OCCUR.
THEREFORE...WILL GENERALLY KEEP THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST AND SHIFT THEM EASTWARD TOWARD MONDAY MORNING AS THE WHOLE
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND MID LEVEL FLOW BEGINS TO
WEAKEN AND TURN MORE WESTERLY GREATLY DIMINISHING THE CHANCE OF RAIN
JUST AFTER THE END OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD.

HIGH TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL LIKELY BE SIMILAR TODAY AND DID NOT
MAKE TOO MANY CHANGES THERE...JUST LOWERED TEMPS A DEGREE OR TWO IN
SOME LOCATIONS. OVERNIGHT TEMPS TONIGHT WILL ONLY FALL INTO THE
UPPER 60S.

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

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

AT THE BEGINNING THIS FORECAST PERIOD (00Z TUESDAY) ALL SHORT AND
MEDIUM MODELS ARE FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH A DEEPENING CLOSED UPPER
LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER WESTERN NEBRASKA AND A DOWN STREAM RIDGE
EXTENDING FROM THE GULF COAST STATES NORTH INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. IN
THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE A BRISK SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL KEEP GULF MOISTURE
STREAMING NORTH INTO THE REGION ON THE BACK SIDE OF HIGH PRESSURE
ANCHORED OFF THE EAST COAST. A WEAK LOW WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA
AND HEAVIER RAIN WILL BE ENDING WITH A LULL IN PRECIPITATION
OVERNIGHT MONDAY. A SECOND SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TUESDAY
AND CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. SO WE WILL CONTINUE
TO MENTION CHANCE POPS DURING THE PERIOD. PERCEPTIBLE WATER VALUES
DURING THIS PERIOD WILL REMAIN BETWEEN 1.5 AND 1.75 INCHES SO
SHOWERS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL IN A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME.

LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 60S WITH HIGHS
FROM THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

THE OPERATIONAL GFS CONTINUES TO TRY TO SHIFT THE AFOREMENTIONED
WESTERN UNITED STATES UPPER LOW WEST WHILE THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN
MODELS AND ENSEMBLES BASICALLY HOLD IT IN THE VICINITY OF WESTERN
NEBRASKA AND COLORADO. TOWARD THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD THE LOW
WILL OPEN UP AND SHIFT TO THE EAST BUT WITH THE GFS SOLUTION
BEGINNING FURTHER WEST IT WILL TAKE LONGER BEFORE THE UPPER TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE MORE CONSISTENT
ECMWF SOLUTION WHICH IS WETTER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER. SO THAT MEANS
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION LOW CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR
THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER.

&&

.AVIATION...

WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA THE REST OF TODAY AND
THIS EVENING BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN MOVES
THROUGH THE REGION AGAIN TONIGHT.  EXPECT CONDITIONS TO REMAIN MVFR
TO IFR WITH CIGS BOUNCING BETWEEN 1 TO 3 KFT WITH POSSIBLE VFR CIGS
UP TO 4 KFT BRIEFLY. VSBYS WILL REMAIN VFR EXCEPT IN AREAS OF PRECIP
WHERE THEY COULD FALL AS LOW AS 1 TO 2 SM WITH BR. RAIN AND OVERCAST
SKIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.
