DKWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 22, 1:49 PM CDT, 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 22, 1:49 PM CDT, 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 249 PM EDT SUN MAY 22 2011 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)... THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE NEAR TERM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. A WEAK SHORTWAVE IS ALSO ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH. THIS HAS LED TO AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WITH CAPE VALUES OF 2000+ J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AND WILL TRACK NORTHEAST WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA LIKELY. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH 01Z FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. THE MAIN CONCERN WITH STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL IN THE STRONGEST STORMS. THESE STORMS SHOULD WEAKEN QUITE A BIT AFTER SUNDOWN AND IT IS POSSIBLE WE WILL SEE A BREAK IN PRECIPITATION LATE THIS EVENING. HOWEVER IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS WILL MOVE IN AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ROUNDS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CROSS THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH TOMORROW AND A FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO NORTHERN INDIANA. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL INCREASE WITH THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMING RATHER UNSTABLE. THE CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW ACROSS THE AREA WITH DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE GREATEST THREAT. WITH SUSTAINED SOUTHERLY FLOW TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WILL CONTINUE TO BE WARMER THAN NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S WITH HIGHS TOMORROW TOPPING OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S ONCE AGAIN. .LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT - SUNDAY)... PERIODS OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THRU FRIDAY UNTIL COLD FROPA FRI NIGHT OR SAT...AFTERWARD...POST FRONTAL SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LOW. OBVIOUSLY...WITH THIS FORECAST... WE ARE THROWING OUT THE LATE WEEK/WEEKEND PROGS FROM THE GFS AND LEANING TOWARD THE OPS EURO/ENSEMBLES. PERSISTENT SUMMER-LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THRU AT LEAST WED WITH A COOLING TREND INTO THE WEEKEND AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WOBBLES IN FROM THE MIDWEST. MOIST AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS ABOVE NORMAL. EXPECT MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES TO CROSS REGION IN BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF UPPER LOW/TROF FORECAST TO REACH THE CENTRAL PLAINS/MID MS VLY WED/THU. IT APPEARS THERE WILL BE A MAX IN ACTIVITY MON NGT/TUE AHEAD OF A SHORT WAVE TROF...A BIT OF A LULL LATE TUE THRU EARLY WED AS A SHORT WAVE RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD AND INCREASING COVERAGE WED NIGHT AND THU AS AFOREMENTIONED LOW/TROF APPROACH. AFOREMENTIONED SECOND UPPER LOW EXPECTED TO SETTLE INTO THE LOWER OH VLY SAT NIGHT...LIKELY RESULTING IN A SHOWERY/COOL WEEKEND. OVERALL RAINFALL TOTALS THRU FRIDAY WILL RANGE FROM 1-3 INCHES WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS...WITH THE HIGHER TOTALS ACROSS SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND THE LOWEST ACROSS OUR SERN FORECAST AREA (LAKE CUMBERLAND REGION). && .AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)... MULTIPLE WAVES OF ENERGY WILL ROTATE AROUND AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WHICH WILL TRACK FROM SRN MN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. THE MAIN CHALLENGE THIS WILL POSE IS FOR THE FORECASTING OF PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT MAY IMPACT THE TERMINALS. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS AMONG THE MODELS IS THAT SCATTERED STORMS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON. WITH THE SCATTERED NATURE OF THESE STORMS WILL MENTION ONLY A CB GROUP AT SDF AND LEX AS CERTAINTY OF STORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINAL IS NOT VERY HIGH. WITH STORMS ALREADY DEVELOPING NEARER TO BWG WILL MENTION VCTS THERE. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN PRECIPITATION THIS EVENING BEFORE STORMS DEVELOP AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT. IN GENERAL FLYING CONDITIONS WILL BE VFR OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
