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 Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 5, 3:23 PM EDT, 1 hour earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 3:23 PM EDT, 1 hour before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
323 PM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 322 PM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

FIRST ROUND OF CONVECTION CURRENTLY DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA
WILL DEPART BY 6 PM THIS EVENING. STILL EXPECTING THE MAIN THREAT TO
BE DAMAGING WINDS WITH THIS ACTIVITY. ALTHOUGH ATMOSPHERE WILL NOT
HAVE LONG TO RECHARGE...ANOTHER AREA OF ENHANCED LAPSE RATES IS
DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN AND USING THE TIMING
TOOL...WILL REACH OUR NECK OF THE WOODS BETWEEN 01Z AND 02Z. NOT SURE
HOW MUCH SEVERE THREAT WILL ACCOMPANY THE SECOND ROUND OF
STORMS...BUT IF WE CAN CLEAR OUT EARLY ENOUGH TONIGHT FOR TEMPS TO
RECOVER A BIT...WE COULD GENERATE ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO CREATE A
CONCERN AGAIN LATE THIS EVENING. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED THIS
EVENING. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DEPART SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.
AT THAT POINT...VERY TOUGH TO ANTICIPATE ANY MORE ROUND OF SHOWERS OR
STORMS...SO GOING TO TREND TOWARDS A DRY FORECAST FOR THE SECOND HALF
OF THE NIGHT.

THE AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE HIGH ON FRIDAY...SO
IT APPEARS LOW CHANCE POPS ARE IN ORDER AGAIN FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. THE HIGH WILL THEN FOLD OVER ON ITSELF FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY BRINGING VERY HOT WEATHER TO THE AREA ON SATURDAY. WITH THE
HIGH FOLDING OVER...IT APPEARS OUR TRAIN OF DISTURBANCES FROM THE
NORTH MAY BE CUT OFF SETTING UP A DRY DAY...SO PLAN TO KEEP SATURDAY
DRY AT THIS TIME. SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD REMAIN DRY WITH VERY MILD
OVERNIGHT READINGS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 322 PM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

THE HIGH WILL FINALLY GET SUPPRESSED TO THE SOUTH LATE IN THE WEEKEND
AND ESPECIALLY NEXT WEEK AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS SOUTH
ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. THIS WILL FINALLY BRING AN END TO OUR
RECORD HEAT WAVE ALONG WITH SOME MUCH NEEDED PRECIPITATION. AT THIS
TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE MODELS STILL DISAGREE A BIT ON THE TIMING...BUT
IT APPEARS SOMETIME BETWEEN SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY THE MAIN WAVE
WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING...WE COULD
SEE ANOTHER SEVERE THREAT. THE FRONT COULD HANG UP IN THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY...WHICH COULD ALLOW PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO LINGER THROUGH
MIDWEEK. THUS...FORECAST IS GOING TO LOOK MUCH WETTER...WHICH MANY
WILL NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT GIVEN OUR RECENT DRY WEATHER. THIS WILL BE A
WELCOME PATTERN CHANGE. HIGHS BY NEXT WEEK WILL BE RUNNING IN THE LOW
TO MID 80S.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 125 PM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DROP SOUTHWARD ACROSS EASTERN
KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS STORMS WILL PROVIDE SOME VERY GUSTY
WINDS AT TIMES. THE STRONGER STORMS COULD GUSTS UP TO 50 KNOTS. THE
THUNDERSTORM THREAT MAY DIMINISH TOWARDS 00Z...BUT COULD LINGER A BIT
LONGER. BY MIDNIGHT...THINGS WILL TURN MUCH QUIETER AND SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. MORE ISOLATED STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
