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 Jun 19, 7:02 AM EDT, 1 hour 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 7:02 AM EDT, 1 hour 10 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 702 AM EDT SUN JUN 19 2011 ...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION... ...FORECAST UPDATE... UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCLUDE A TORNADO WATCH. THIS WATCH COVERS A PORTION OF SOUTHERN INDIANA AND MOST OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY THROUGH 11 AM THIS MORNING. A SEVERE SQUALL LINE NOW ENTERING WESTERN KENTUCKY IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY RACE ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY SHORTLY AFTER DAWN. THIS LINE MAY PRODUCE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. AHEAD OF THIS LINE...SCATTERED ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY. .SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)... A WIDESPREAD MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX DEVELOPED OVER MISSOURI DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...AS FORECAST BY VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE. THESE STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG A WARM FRONT THAT AT 2 AM STRETCHED SOUTH OF KANSAS CITY TO PADUCAH. A STRONG SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET IS CURRENTLY AIMED AT MISSOURI AND WILL HELP SUSTAIN THESE STORMS AS THEY MOVE EAST ACROSS ILLINOIS AND INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND WESTERN KENTUCKY AFTER 5 AM. PRECIPITABLE WATER APPROACHING 2 INCHES AND ELEVATED CAPE OVER 2500 JOULES ACROSS WESTERN KENTUCKY WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD STORM COVERAGE DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. SOME OF THESE STORMS TO OUR WEST WILL BECOME QUITE VIGOROUS WITH LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN. INDEED...STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION HAS ALREADY LED TO SOME SCATTERED ELEVATED STORMS OVER SOUTHERN KENTUCKY. SHORT RANGE MESO-SCALE MODELS SUCH AS THE HRRR AND THE 00Z SPC WRF BRING WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA DURING THE MID MORNING HOURS. BASED ON CURRENT RADAR ACROSS MISSOURI...EXPECT THAT THIS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY IN THE 8 TO 11 AM TIME FRAME. HOWEVER...SCATTERED WARM ADVECTION RELATED POP UP STORMS WILL LIKELY BRING LIGHTER AMOUNTS BEFORE THIS. EARLIER YESTERDAY MORNING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN FELL ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN INDIANA ALONG THE OHIO RIVER AND ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 64. DESPITE THE RELATIVELY FAST EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THIS MORNING'S EXPECTED CONVECTION...EXPECT THAT SOME AREAS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY MAY SEE LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN ONCE AGAIN. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LOCAL RUN-OFF PROBLEMS. SIMILAR TO EARLY SATURDAY...EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE SOUTH SOUTHEAST OUT OF OUR REGION BY LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. LEFT OVER CONVECTIVE CLOUDINESS MAY ONCE AGAIN SUPPRESS TEMPERATURES AND INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON. WILL REDUCE POPS TO JUST CHANCE BY MID AFTERNOON. HIGHS TODAY WILL DEPEND GREATLY ON ANY CLOUD COVER OR LEFT OVER PRECIPITATION THIS AFTERNOON...BUT SHOULD GENERALLY REACH THE LOWER 80S. A DEVELOPING STORM ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL LEAD TO INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS THIS EVENING AND RISING 500MB HEIGHTS ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. THIS WILL MOVE THE STORM TRACK A BIT NORTH. ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS THIS EVENING OR OVERNIGHT WILL BE CONSIDERABLY FARTHER NORTH...AFFECTING PERHAPS JUST SOUTHERN INDIANA AND THE BLUEGRASS REGION. WARMISH OVERNIGHT LOWS AND HIGH DEWPOINTS WILL MAKE TONIGHT QUITE MUGGY. .LONG TERM (MONDAY - SATURDAY)... APPEARS WE WILL RETURN TO HEAT AND RELATIVELY HIGH HUMIDITY FOR MON AND TUE WITH WARM FRONT WELL TO OUR NORTH. LOWER TO MID 90 TEMPS SHUD RETURN. WILL KEEP AND INCREASE A BIT LOW CHC POPS PRIMARILY FOR OUR NERN FORECAST AREA FOR MON WITH A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX POSSIBLY BRUSHING THAT AREA EARLY IN THE DAY...WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AROUND FOR NEW STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVE. THIS FITS WITH OUR NEIGHBORING NRN/ERN OFFICES AND WITH SPC SLIGHT RISK. MONDAY NIGHT SHUD BE DRY WITH UPR LEVEL RIDGE MOVING ACRS THE REGION. AFTERWARD...WILL INCREASE POPS TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT FOR OUR NWRN QUADRANT WITH LOWER POPS TO THE SOUTHEAST AS MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW WOBBLES ACROSS THE UPPER MS VLY WITH IMPULSES ON THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE LOW...GRADUALLY MAKING HEADWAY TOWARD OUR FORECAST AREA IN SOUTHWEST FLOW. THEN WED AND WED NIGHT...SHOWERS/TSTMS SHUD BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AS STACKED LOWS REACH WISCONSIN AND GULF MOISTURE INCREASES IN STRENGTHENING S/SW FLOW. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REACHING NEAR 2 INCHES WITH MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY AND SIGNIFICANT SHEAR FOR LATE JUNE. SCT SHOWERS/STORMS WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO THU AS WELL WITH COLD FRONT STILL LAGGING UPSTREAM. WILL LEAVE THE REST OF THE FCST UNCHANGED. PREV DISC FOR THAT PERIOD FOLLOWS: THURSDAY - SATURDAY... THURSDAY...STORMS WILL STILL BE AROUND AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAKES SLOW PROGRESS EAST. BY THURS NIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY...WE SHOULD SEE AN END TO RAINS AS THE BOUNDARY FINALLY CLEARS THE AREA. EXPECT DRY WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WORK THEIR WAY BACK INTO THE REGION. && .AVIATION (12Z TAF ISSUANCE)... A SQUALL LINE WILL IMPACT AVIATION AT SDF AND BWG AND PROBABLY LEX THIS MORNING. AT THIS TIME THIS LINE OF STORMS WILL LIKELY BRING GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH AND BRIEF VISIBILITIES UNDER ONE MILE TO SDF AROUND THE 12 TO 13Z PERIOD...WITH MFR CIGS AND VISIBILITIES IN SHOWERS FOR A COUPLE HOURS AFTER THE INITIAL LINE MOVE THROUGH. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR BWG...WHERE THE LINE IS ESTIMATED TO MOVE THROUGH AROUND 13Z...WITH 30 TO 40 MPH WINDS LIKELY. AT BWG...SCATTERED CONVECTION AND MVFR CEILINGS ARE LIKELY PRIOR TO THE LINE'S PASSAGE. SHOULD THIS LINE HOLD TOGETHER...THIS STRONG LINE WILL AFFECT LEX AROUND 13 TO 15Z. AGAIN...MVFR CIGS AND SEVERAL HOURS OF RAIN WILL LIKELY FOLLOW THE INITIAL LINE OF STORMS. PARTIAL CLEARING IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM WEST TO EAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH VFR FLYING CONDITIONS EXPECTED. SCATTERED STORMS MAY RE-DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING. HOWEVER...LOCATION AND TIMING ARE PROBLEMATIC AND WILL ACCOUNT FOR THIS POSSIBILITY BY PLACING CB IN THE TAFS. SKIES WILL TEND TO CLEAR WITH VFR CONDITIONS AFTER 00Z MONDAY. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
