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.

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 Apr 26, 2:52 AM CDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 2:52 AM CDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
352 AM EDT THU APR 26 2012

.Short Term (Today through Friday)...
Issued at 350 AM EDT Apr 26 2012

The immediate concern this morning is the strong to severe
thunderstorms moving into the northwestern portion of the forecast
area. The isolated earlier storms have congealed into a larger
bowing MCS. Relatively warm temperatures and a strong shortwave have
contributed to the enhancement of this system. These storms are
expected to continue to remain strong as they track east across the
forecast area. We have therefore expanded the Severe Thunderstorm
Watch across most of the forecast area this morning. This watch goes
through 13Z, with most of the storms expected to be exiting to the
east by this time. Large hail will still be a concern with these
storms. However, the wind threat is increasing as a bowing line
develops and winds may become the main concern as the system moves
east.

For the rest of the day, rain chances will rapidly decrease. We may
have some lingering showers or thunderstorms across east central
Kentucky through the afternoon hours. There is a bit of uncertainty
however as the atmosphere should be fairly worked over in the wake
of this morning's convection. Winds will shift this afternoon as the
cold front moves through. Winds are expected to become gusty ahead
of and behind this front. Gusts of 20-25 mph can be expected through
the late morning and afternoon hours. Highs today will be in the mid
70s north to the upper 70s in the south.

We will dry out tonight as the cold front sinks south of the area.
Skies will become partly cloudy to mostly clear with temperatures
dropping into the lower 40s in the north to the lower 50s in the
south. For Friday, the front to the south of the region will begin
to move back to the north as a warm front. Ahead of this front,
clouds will overspread the area. We should remain dry through mid
day. Showers and thunderstorms will then begin to move in from the
southwest. Think that coverage in the afternoon will be fairly
limited, so have reduced pops for tomorrow into the low chance range.

.Long Term (Friday Night through Wednesday)...
Issued at 251 AM EDT Apr 26 2012

Friday Night through Sunday Night...

Combination and of deterministic and ensemble guidance continues to
show a bit of spread throughout the long term forecast period.  In
general, this will result in lower than normal forecast confidence.

Upper air pattern over the eastern third of the US will remain
generally zonal in nature with multiple short waves moving through
within the mean flow.  So we'll likely see heights rising and
lowering during the period with chances of precipitation occurring
as each wave passes through.

Previous forecast still looks fairly good compared to this evening's
model runs.  Stalled out frontal boundary to the south will likely
lift back northward as a warm front Friday evening as an area of low
pressure moves out of the Plains and into the upper Midwest.  Just
how far north this front will lift northward on Saturday is still
quite questionable.  This will lead to a large gradient of
temperatures across the region.  We could see as much as a 15-20
degree gradient from south to north with highs in the lower 60s in
the north and readings in the upper 70s to the lower 80s in the
south.  The front looks to sag back south of the area on Sunday
resulting a slightly drier forecast for now.  Highs Sunday will
range from the lower 60s in the north tot he upper 60s to around 70
in the south...with overnight lows dropping into the upper 40s to
the lower 50s.

Monday through Wednesday...

Did not make many changes through this period given the wide spreads
in both the deterministic and ensemble guidance.  The Ohio Valley
looks to remain in a baroclinic zone through the period as a surface
frontal boundary remains near the area.  This boundary will start
off to the south of the area at the beginning of the period and
gradually lift northward once again.  As multiple mid-level waves
aloft scoot past, they will likely result in off and showers and
storms.  The predictability of the timing of these waves is quite
low...thus plan on leaving low chance PoPs in the forecast
throughout the period for now.  It does appear that the front will
likely lift north of the Ohio Valley toward the end of the period
resulting in drier and warmer conditions as we head toward the end
of the workweek.  Highs Mon/Tue should warm into the 70s with upper
70s to the lower 80s returning by Wednesday.  Overnight lows will
generally be in the 50-60s.

&&

.Aviation (06Z TAF Issuance)...
Updated at 120 AM EDT Apr 26 2012

The challenge for the TAFs through the rest of the night will be
whether upstream storms will affect the TAF sites. The latest timing
in upstream convection suggests if the storms hold together they
should affect SDF around 08Z. Whether they will reach BWG or LEX is
a bit more in question. If they do, it should be a couple of hours
later than SDF. Will carry VCTS for a couple of hours for each of
the TAF sites to cover this convection. Ahead of the convection,
will continue to mention wind shear at BWG and LEX.

Through the day today, winds will increase in the late morning to
early afternoon hours ahead of and just behind the frontal passage.
Winds will gust to around 20 knots, with some higher gusts possible.
Winds will shift from southwesterly to eventually northwesterly as
the front passes through. Models are suggesting that cigs will lower
to MVFR during midday before clearing. With not a lot of confidence
in this scenario, will keep cigs just above this threshold for the
time being. Clear skies and light northerly winds can be expected in
the wake of the front tonight.
