The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 12:00Z, 9.3 hours before the alert went out and 196 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 12, 4:39 PM EDT, 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
439 PM EDT TUE JUL 12 2011
...MESOSCALE UPDATE...
HAVE UPPED POPS TO 100% WHERE THE RAIN IS FALLING. HAVE UPPED PRECIP
AMOUNTS UP TO AN INCH AND A HALF WHERE THE HEAVIEST STORMS ARE WITH
GRADUALLY DECREASING AMOUNTS AWAY FROM THE MAIN STORM AREA. HAVE
ALSO DROPPED HEAT HEADLINES FROM WHERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN
WIDESPREAD AND BROUGHT TEMPERATURES AS LOW AS THE UPPER 70S. DROPPED
MIN TEMPS A FEW DEGREES WHERE RAIN HAS TAKEN THE TEMPERATURE LOWER
THAN THE PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED MIN TEMP.
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY)...
THERE ARE A FEW CONCERNS IMMEDIATELY IN THE SHORT TERM THIS
AFTERNOON. FIRST IS A COMPLEX OF STORMS THAT HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS
THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. A LARGE AREA OF
STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN HAS DEVELOPED
ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT MOVED FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE CURRENT CONVECTION HAS SENT OUT AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TO THE NORTHWEST AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY AS WELL AS AHEAD OF THE FRONT MOVING IN FROM THE
NORTH. SCATTERED CONVECTION CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA WITH MORE
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION SOUTH.
AS FAR AS THE HEAT GOES...WILL KNOCK PORTIONS OF THE WARNING BACK TO
ADVISORY LEVEL AS THE CLOUDS AND STORMS HAVE DECREASED TEMPERATURES
DRASTICALLY. WILL PROBABLY KEEP THE HEAT ADVISORY OUT AS WE COULD
SEE A QUICK WARM UP IF CONVECTION MOVES OUT OF THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND THE SUN IS ABLE TO PEEK OUT. FURTHER WEST HEAT INDICES
ARE STILL ABOVE 110 SO WILL KEEP THE WARNING OUT.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS WE
WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY UNSTABLE. AN AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL TRACK
SOUTHEAST OUT OF NORTHERN MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME
OF THOSE STORMS MAY BE SEVERE AND IF THEY CAN HOLD TOGETHER THERE
MAY BE A CHANCE FOR SOME MORE STRONG STORMS OVERNIGHT. HOW STRONG
THESE STORMS WILL REMAIN IS A BIT IN QUESTION. INTO TOMORROW...A
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS SOUTHERN KENTUCKY WHICH WILL BE CLOSER TO THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY.
WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SINKING SOUTH OVERNIGHT LOWER
DEWPOINTS AND SLIGHTLY LOWER TEMPERATURES WILL BE FILTERING INTO THE
REGION. LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S...MUCH COOLER
THAN THIS MORNING. FOR TOMORROW HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S NORTH
TO LOWER 90S. SOME AREAS NEAR THE BORDER WITH TENNESSEE WILL LIKELY
HAVE HEAT INDICES NEAR 100 DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT - TUESDAY)...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY NIGHT...
BY WEDNESDAY EVENING...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD BE SOUTH OF THE
BORDER AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE CWA FOR THIS TIME PERIOD. A
LINGERING CELL OR TWO COULD REMAIN CLOSER TO THE TN/KY BORDER BUT
WILL KEEP WED NIGHT DRY FOR NOW. HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THROUGH
THRS NIGHT AND LOWER DEWPOINTS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH INTO THE
AREA...MAKING FOR PLEASANT CONDITIONS WED NIGHT-THRS NIGHT.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE 60S WITH HIGHS THRS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 80S.
FRIDAY-TUESDAY...
THE UPPER RIDGE THAT PUSHED SOUTH WILL RETROGRADE BACK TO THE WEST
WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST. THIS
WILL RETURN WARMER TEMPS AND GULF MOISTURE TO THE REGION FROM FRIDAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. EXPECT DAILY AFTERNOON-EVENING PULSE-TYPE
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SRN CWA. WILL KEEP EACH NIGHT
DRY ALTHOUGH A STORM OR TWO COULD LAST PAST SUNSET FOR A BRIEF
PERIOD.
BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE SEEMS TO PUSH A LITTLE
FURTHER EAST CLOSER TO OUR CWA. THIS COULD HELP SUPPRESS CONVECTION
SO WILL KEEP THESE TWO AFTERNOONS DRY FOR NOW. TEMPS WILL CLIMB BACK
INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S FRIDAY ON...WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER
60S AND LOWER 70S.
&&
.AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...
STORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY MOVING FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE REGION. WILL ADD VCTS
STARTING AT 18Z FOR BOTH LEX AND BWG AND AFTER 19Z AT SDF. IN
ADDITION TO THIS BOUNDARY A FRONT WILL BE SLOWLY SLIPPING SOUTH
THROUGH THE REGION. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL SPARK ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY. STORMS WILL BE SCATTERED ACROSS THE AREA SO WILL KEEP
VCTS IN THROUGH 03Z. STORMS SHOULD DECREASE OVERNIGHT. WITH AMPLE
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SOME LIGHT FOG OR HAZE LOOKS TO DEVELOP TOWARDS
MORNING. FOR TOMORROW THE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR OR SOUTH
OF THE KY/TN BORDER. THEREFORE THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE TO
THE SOUTH AND LEX AND SDF SHOULD STAY DRY.
