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.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 9:16 PM CDT, 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1016 PM EDT SAT APR 24 2010

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

...FORECAST UPDATE...

UPDATED ZONES TO REMOVE TORNADO WATCH FROM ALL BUT THE LAKE
CUMBERLAND AREA AND THE EASTERN BLUEGRASS. STRONG SQUALL LINE HAS
WEAKENED AND MOVED SOUTHEAST OF A LEXINGTON TO MONROE COUNTY LINE.
THIS LINE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE BLUEGRASS AREA BY AROUND MIDNIGHT.

CLEARING HAS DEVELOPED BEHIND THIS LINE AND EXPECT CLEAR TO PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. CLOUDS
WILL INCREASE A BIT ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA TOWARDS MORNING AS
INCREASED MOISTURE WRAPS SOUTH ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE CLOSED LOW
EXPECTED OVER EASTERN INDIANA.

SOUTHEAST WINDS EAST OF INTERSTATE 65 WILL VEER TOWARDS THE
SOUTHWEST AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA SHORTLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND SUNDAY)...

FOCUS CONTINUES ON SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. EXPECT MULTIPLE MESOSCALE
DISCUSSIONS TO COME UP FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
EXPECT THE SEVERE THREAT TO END BY MID EVENING...BUT SHOWER CHANCES
WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS MID LEVEL DRY AIR WILL LIMIT DEEP
CONVECTION. BY SUNDAY...FRONT WILL NOT COME THROUGH UNTIL LATER
SUNDAY. SO COULD SEE SOME LOW TOPPED CONVECTION DEVELOP WITH STEEP
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. HAVE WORDING FOR STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON IN
THE GRIDS.

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY NIGHT - SATURDAY)...

JUST A BROAD-BRUSH DISCUSSION FOR THE EXTENDED THIS ISSUANCE DUE TO
SIGNIFICANCE OF INCOMING SEVERE THREAT.

LARGE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW OVER INDIANA AT THE START OF THE PERIOD
WILL DRIFT EAST TOWARD THE ATLANTIC COAST BY 00Z TUESDAY.  BROAD
UPPER TROF ASSOCIATED WITH SURFACE LOW MAINTAINS AXIS OVER EASTERN
U.S. THROUGH WEDNESDAY...KEEPING COOLER NORTHERLY FLOW FOR THE
AREA...RESULTING IN TEMPS AT OR BELOW NORMS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF
THE WEEK.  BY THURSDAY...UPPER RIDGE MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
ALLOWING FOR RETURN OF SOUTHERLY FLOW AND TEMPS WARMING BACK INTO
THE 70S FOR HIGHS AND 50S FOR LOWS....UP FROM 40-MID 60 RANGE FOR
MIN/MAX RANGE IN THE FIRST HALF OF WEEK.

ANOTHER BROAD UPPER TROF DEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN U.S. BY
FRIDAY...WITH THE CANCER FOR THUNDERSTORMS RETURNING FOR NEXT
WEEKEND.

BY EARLY SUNDAY...THE STRONG STORM SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR SATURDAY'S
STORMS WILL MORPH INTO A VERTICALLY STACKED...FILLING...OCCLUDED
CYCLONE JUST SOUTH OF CHICAGO. ALTHOUGH BEGINNING TO WEAKEN...THE
PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE LOW IS STILL FORECAST TO BE A
QUITE DEEP 885MB OR SO. DRY MID LEVEL AIR WILL HAVE OVERSPREAD THE
COMMONWEALTH DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT.
HOWEVER...SEASONABLY COLD AIR WILL STILL LIE WELL NORTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER THROUGH MID AFTERNOON SUNDAY. THIS COOLER AIR WILL SAG
SOUTHWARD BEHIND A SECONDARY COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARRIVAL
OF THE BY NOW ELONGATED 500MB TROUGH.

AFTER A PARTLY CLOUDY...BREEZY BUT STILL MILD SUNDAY
MORNING...STEEPENING LAPSE RATES COUPLED WITH HEIGHT FALLS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING 500MB TROUGH WILL LIKELY SPARK
SCATTERED FAST MOVING LOW-TOPPED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THESE STORMS WILL HAVE TO POTENTIAL
TO BRING GUSTY WINDS AND PERHAPS SOME SMALL HAIL. INITIALLY...THE
BEST COVERAGE WILL LIE ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA. BY EVENING...THIS
CONVECTION WILL SAG SOUTH TOWARDS CENTRAL KENTUCKY.

WILL CONTINUE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS SUNDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA AS THE 500MB TROUGH AXIS MOVES OVERHEAD. COLDER AIR WILL ARRIVE
AND WILL KEEP MONDAY QUITE CLOUDY WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS STRUGGLING TO
EXCEED 60 ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 64.

LATE MONDAY AS A LONGWAVE TROUGH DEVELOPS ACROSS NEW ENGLAND...AS
SECONDARY 500MB TROUGH WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE LOWER OHIO
VALLEY. THIS WILL CROSS THE AREA TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND WILL LIKELY
BRING A SECOND CLOUDY COOL DAY WITH A CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT SHOWERS.

.WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

A SUBSTANTIAL WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN WEDNESDAY THAT WILL LIKELY
BRING HIGH TEMPERATURES WELL BACK UP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE UPPER AIR PATTERN WILL AMPLIFY
WEDNESDAY AS THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF STRONG STORMS MOVE ACROSS THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. EVENTUALLY...A TROUGH WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE
ROCKIES BY THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEKEND. CORRESPONDING...RIDGING
ACROSS THE WESTERN PLAINS WILL GRADUALLY TRANSLATE EAST AND BRING
RISING HEIGHTS ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH WEDNESDAY AND BECOME
ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES BY LATE FRIDAY.

EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WEDNESDAY. SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL BEGIN THURSDAY...BRINGING PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND THE START OF
A NICE WARM-UP.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

AT 00Z...A LINE OF STRONG STORMS WILL BE LOCATED FROM NEAR SDF TO
JUST EAST OF LOUISVILLE. THIS LINE WILL ALREADY BE EAST OF BWG..BUT
WILL AFFECT LEX IN THE 00Z TO 02Z TIME PERIOD. FOR LEX EXPECT STRONG
STORMS WITH VERY GUSTY WINDS AND INTENSE RAINFALL FOR AROUND A ONE
HOUR PERIOD BETWEEN 00Z AND 02Z.

ONCE SHOWERS DIMINISH AT BWG AROUND 01Z...EXPECT A MOSTLY DRY
EVENING WITH CIGS AT VFR LEVELS. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AT LEX AND SDF THROUGH 06Z.
