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 58 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 7:02 AM EDT, 1 hour 58 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.
