ALWhat 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 May 1, 3:03 PM EDT, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 1, 3:03 PM EDT, 1 hour 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 303 PM EDT TUE MAY 01 2012 .Short Term (Tonight through Thursday morning)... Issued at 230 PM EDT Tue May 1 2012 A tornado watch is in effect for our northern tier of counties across southern Indiana. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for the southern portion of of southern Indiana and central Kentucky until 10 pm EDT. Quite a bit of uncertainty still about the mode of thunderstorm development this afternoon and evening. Surface analysis shows a moist and strongly unstable environment with CAPE analyzed of around 3000 Joules near Bowling Green. Scattered Pulse storms will increase in coverage and move northeast across central Kentucky and eventually the Bluegrass Region by late this afternoon or early evening. Expect that these storms will remain unorganized and produce isolated wind gusts and isolated nickle to quarter sized hail Satellite shows a Mesoscale Convective Vortex across central Illinois left over from convection over Missouri last night. This will move over northern Indiana this evening. Several of the short range convective models show a line of storms associated with the MCV developing late this afternoon across southwestern Indiana and moving east along and north of Interstate 64. Should this line develop, the combination of strong instability and moderate uni-directional shear may produce an organized bowing segment that could produce isolated damaging winds. Slightly backed winds along our northern tier of counties across southern Indiana may allow storms to rotate and produce an isolated tornado. The development of this line is by no means certain. Will go with scattered wording in this evening's forecast. Should this line develop, it would be exiting the northern Bluegrass Region during the early morning hours. 500mb ridging now center over Georgia will expand northwest into the Tennessee Valley by early Wednesday, subsidence associated with this building ridge will act to dry out the atmosphere and suppress convection. Feel that any storm development will stay very isolated. Will either leave out storms all together for Wednesday or place only isolated wording in for Wednesday. .Long Term (Thursday through Tuesday)... Issued at 230 PM EDT May 1 2012 ...Very warm temperatures more typical of late June are expected Thursday/Friday... Upper ridge that will make us hot Wednesday will get split by a subtle disturbance, now over south Florida, that will move into the Deep South Thursday. Ridging should remain strong enough to cap the atmosphere for Thursday and keep us warm, but we should have a little more moisture pushed into the column by late in the day. Friday, the dominant ridge will be focused over the southern Plains, with our region being in a quasi-zonal flow. As the ridge amplifies over the weekend, we will move into more of a northwest flow. That pool of moisture from the southern system will become stationary over the region Friday and Saturday, making for precipitable waters in the 1.3-1.5 inch range. Combined with the heat, cannot rule out at least isolated to scattered storms developing. The problem with the various models is in how they handle a front moving across the Great Lakes during this period, which would add some extra surface forcing/a focus for storms to form. The GFS takes a stronger low over southeast Canada, which is strong enough to drag that front into the Midwest Friday and through the Ohio Valley Friday night. The 00z ECMWF and the 12Z GEM keep a weaker low and the front to our north. Will lean towards the previous sets of forecasts keeping Derby weekend above normal for highs and scattered for storm chances. In keeping closer to the ECMWF for Sunday and the first part of next work week, it brings a front out of the Central Plains Sunday and into the Ohio Valley Sunday night and Monday, allowing for a cool down Monday and Tuesday. That front may get hung up somewhere across the region, so cannot rule out rain chances with that cool down. && .Aviation (18Z TAF Issuance)... Updated at 120 PM EDT Tue May 1 2012 A warm front will lift north of SDF and LEX by 20z. Partly cloudy skies with occasional patchy mid-level broken ceilings will provide VFR flying conditions through at least midnight outside of any thunderstorms. By late this afternoon, there is a chance that organized thunderstorms may develop over southern Illinois or southwest Indiana. Should this occur, a cluster of thunderstorms may affect the SDF and the LEX terminals in the 22z through the 02z time frame with temporary MVFR ceilings and visibilities along with gusty winds. South winds will increase to 10 to 13kt at SDF and BWG by 20z this afternoon, while remaining lighter at LEX. Overnight, south winds will diminish to around 5 to 7kt. Light fog may affect SDF and LEX towards morning, but visibilities at SDF will stay well above those observed earlier on Tuesday. Mostly clear skies are expected Wednesday with light early morning south winds increasing to 10 to 12kt in the afternoon && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...NONE. KY...NONE.
