TWFWhat 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 23, 4:48 PM EDT, 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 23, 4:48 PM EDT, 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 448 PM EDT MON MAY 23 2011 ...MESOSCALE UPDATE... A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT DUE TO A LINE OF POWERFUL STORMS CROSSING THE WABASH RIVER THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS...ESPECIALLY THE CELLS NORTH OF EVANSVILLE...HAVE EXHIBITED RADAR SIGNATURES TYPICAL OF EXTREMELY POWERFUL WINDS. VERY DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS AS THEY MOVE THROUGH THE REGION...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 64. LOCAL DOWNBURST WINDS WITH GUST SPEEDS TO 90 MPH CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH THE STRONGEST CELLS. .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)... THE IMMEDIATE CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON IS THE COMPLEX OF STORMS OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST INTO INDIANA AND KENTUCKY. WITH THE DAYTIME HEATING AND CONTINUED GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS THE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE FORECAST AREA CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE. THIS WILL SUSTAIN EXISTING STORMS AND POSSIBLY ALLOW THEM TO STRENGTHEN AS THEY TRACK EAST. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. THE MAIN THREATS WITH THESE STORMS WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS AND SMALL TO MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. THE COMPLEX OF STORMS SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BY 03Z OR SO. WE WILL SEE ANOTHER BREAK IN THE STORMS UNTIL THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WHEN A SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE AREA. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. ADDITIONALLY A FRONT WILL SLOWLY DROP DOWN FROM THE NORTH...ENDING UP ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA BY TOMORROW EVENING. BOTH OF THESE FEATURES WILL HELP TO ENHANCE CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW MORNING/AFTERNOON WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY SOME LARGE HAIL. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RUN WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S TONIGHT AND HIGHS TOMORROW IN THE MID 80S AGAIN. .LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT - MONDAY)... TUESDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY NIGHT... POP CHANCES WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD AS TROUGHING OVER THE ROCKIES GENERATES A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL AFFECT OUR AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS SFC LOW WILL GENERATE OVER KANSAS TUESDAY NIGHT...AND ITS WARM FRONT WILL EXTEND EASTWARD PERHAPS AS FAR EAST AS OUR CWA. WITH SLIGHT RIDGING OVER THE GULF STATES...THINK THE WARM FRONT SHOULD STAY OVER OUR NWRN/NRN CWA. HOWEVER SINCE IT WILL BE LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS THE CWA...WILL HAVE LOW CHC POPS OVER THE SOUTH WITH HIGH CHC POPS OVER THE NRN/NWRN CWA TUES NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. A FEW OF THESE ELEVATED STORMS COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND CERTAINLY HEAVY RAINFALL/DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. BY WEDNESDAY...OUR CWA WILL BE WARM SECTORED AS THE LOW PRESSURE/S COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVES TOWARDS THE REGION. SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE WARM SECTOR WEDNESDAY WITH INCREASING POPS INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES. HAVE LIKELY POPS IN THE GRIDS FROM WED NIGHT OVER THE WEST...THURSDAY EVERYWHERE AND THRS NIGHT OVER THE EAST AS THE FRONT TRACKS FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CWA. ALTHOUGH THIS LOW WILL BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED AND FILL IN...THERE IS STILL UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND DEEPER WIND SHEAR THAT SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS COULD OCCUR IF SOME ORGANIZATION OCCURS...AND AT THIS TIME THINKING THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHERE DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY SEVERE STORM. HAVE POPS ENDING ON BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH ON FRIDAY...JUST BEFORE THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FRIDAY NIGHT FROM THE WEST. WILL KEEP LOW CHC POPS OVER THE WRN CWA FRIDAY NIGHT BUT THIS COULD HOLD OFF UNTIL SATURDAY. TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S AND CONDITIONS WILL BE MUGGY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WITH AMPLE RAINFALL AND CLOUDS AROUND THURSDAY/FRIDAY...TEMPS WILL BE A BIT COOLER WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S. SATURDAY-MEMORIAL DAY... AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM WILL QUICKLY APPROACH ON SATURDAY IN A NW FLOW ALOFT. THIS SHUD AGAIN PROVIDE US WITH ANOTHER QUICK PUNCH OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...SOME POSSIBLY STRONG AS THE COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THEREAFTER...SIGNS OF A STRONG RIDGE OVERHEAD FROM LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO THE ACTUAL HOLIDAY WOULD BE A NICE WAY TO END THIS ACTIVE PATTERN. KEPT SUNDAY NIGHT - MONDAY NIGHT DRY. TEMPS WILL BE AROUND AVERAGE OR BELOW FOR SUNDAY BUT WILL MODERATE QUICKLY IF THE RIDGE DEVELOPS AS STRONGLY AS THE OPS GFS IS HINTING. WENT BELOW 00Z MEX GUIDANCE CLOSER TO 12Z GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS/LOWS. && .AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)... CLEARING THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON IS HELPING TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE ONCE AGAIN. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY AFTER 20Z. WILL KEEP ONLY A CB GROUP IN FOR THE TERMINALS RIGHT NOW BUT WILL LIKELY HAVE TO AMEND WHEN THUNDERSTORMS DO BEGIN TO FIRE. THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT WITH ANOTHER BREAK IN PRECIP BEFORE THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM MOVES IN DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL RELAX TONIGHT AFTER THE STORMS MOVE OUT OF THE AREA AND THE SUN GOES DOWN. HOWEVER...THINK WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVING BACK IN DURING THE MORNING HOURS FOG WILL NOT BE MUCH OF A PROBLEM. WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
