The radar

The Louisville radar (KLVX), 100 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:28 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 tornado 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.

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 5, 3:08 PM EDT, 3 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 3:08 PM EDT, 3 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
308 PM EDT MON APR 5 2010

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)...

A WELL DEVELOPED CU FIELD SITS OVER THE FORECAST AREA IN A VERY
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH ELEVATED CAPES IN THE 1500-2000 J/KG
RANGE.  A FEW WEAK CELLS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE AREA AS OF 1845Z.
EXPECT AN APPROACHING SHRT/WV OVER IL/MO TO ENHANCE CONVECTION OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS INTO THIS EVENING.  WE SHOULD SEE MOSTLY A HAIL
THREAT WITH THESE STORMS ALTHOUGH BRIEF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL.  CONVECTION SHOULD WANE BETWEEN 0-3Z AS WE
LOSE DAYTIME HEATING AND EXISTING CONVECTION MOVES NE OUT OF THE
AREA.  UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL STRENGTHEN TONIGHT OVER THE GULF
STATES HELPING TO PUSH CONVECTION FARTHER NORTH AS WELL.   THIS
RIDGING WILL THEN REMAIN IN CONTROL OF THE AREA...CLEARING SKIES AND
KEEPING US DRY FOR THE REMAIN OF THE NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

LOW TEMPS TONIGHT SHOULD FALL INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOW 60S AFTER
SKIES CLEAR.  HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE QUITE WARM IN THE LOW TO MID
80S.

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT - MONDAY)...

TUESDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE DIGGING ACROSS THE PLAINS TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH A SURFACE LOW MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST.
WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BE CONTINUING OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL KEEP LOW
TEMPERATURES UP IN THE LOWER 60S TUESDAY NIGHT.

THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL BE APPROACHING THE
REGION ON WEDNESDAY. MODELS HAVE COME INTO SOMEWHAT CLOSER AGREEMENT
WITH THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM THOUGH THE GFS IS STILL A BIT FASTER
THAN THE ECMWF. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS
THROUGH DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ON WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. A
LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS FRONT WITH
PRECIPITATION BEING THE MOST WIDESPREAD AFTER MIDNIGHT.  DYNAMICS
ARE GOOD WITH THIS SYSTEM. HOWEVER...SOUNDING CONTINUE TO INDICATE
THAT THERE IS LITTLE INSTABILITY. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE BEST
CHANCE FOR STRONG TO POSSIBLY A FEW SEVERE STORMS WOULD BE IN
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE MAIN
THREATS FROM ANY STORMS WOULD BE GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL. A FEW SHOWERS
COULD LINGER OVER EAST CENTRAL KENTUCKY INTO THE AFTERNOON ON
THURSDAY.

THERE WILL LIKELY BE A GRADIENT OF TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WITH
AREAS SEEING PRECIPITATION IN REACHING INTO THE LOWER 70S WHILE
FARTHER EAST HIGHS WILL BE PUSHING 80. THE COLD FRONT WILL USHER IN
MUCH COOLER AIR ON THURSDAY WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING TO REACH 60.

FRIDAY - MONDAY

THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL QUICKLY MOVE OFF TO THE NORTHEAST.
HOWEVER IT LOOKS LIKE A LOBE OF ENERGY WILL ROTATE THROUGH THE UPPER
LEVEL FLOW ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
SOME AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY OVER THE NORTHEAST.

THROUGH THE WEEKEND HIGH PRESSURE WILL REGAIN CONTROL OVER THE AREA
WITH RIDGING ALOFT. THIS WILL KEEP US DRY FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL START OUT IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER
60S ON FRIDAY WITH HIGHS BACK INTO THE MID 70S BY MONDAY. LOWS WILL
RANGE FROM THE LOWER 40S TO LOWER 50S.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCT
T-STORMS OVER THE AREA.  A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR NORTH AND
SHRT/WV ENERGY EJECTING WEST FROM MO WILL ACT AS TRIGGERS TO SET OFF
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON.  THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THIS
FORECAST AS THE FEATURES MAY DRIFT FARTHER NORTH AND INITIATE
CONVECTION NORTH OF THE TAF SITES.  HOWEVER...CURRENT GUIDANCE AND
CUMULIFORM CLOUDS IN OUR AREA LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE
POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTION IS STILL THERE FOR OUR AREA.
THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE VCTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND
REMOVE AS SOON AS CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL LOOKS UNLIKELY...OR UPDATE
TAF STATEMENT IF CONVECTION GETS GOING AND LOOKS TO HIT A TAF SITE.
BY THIS EVENING HOWEVER...ANY CONVECTION SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AREA.
WINDS WILL BE GUSTY OUT OF THE SW THIS AFTERNOON TURNING SOUTHERLY
TONIGHT.
