What 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, 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 23, 4:48 PM EDT, 40 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.
