| Time | Report | Where | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 1, 9:05 PM CDT | TSTM WND DMG | 14 Wnw Greensburg, KY | SEVERAL TREES WERE DOWNED BY THUNDERSTORM WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN HART COUNTY. ONE WAS DOWNED ON STATE HIGHWAY 566 JUST WEST OF EVE. ANOTHERN WAS DOWNED NEAR EVE. |
Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 4 minutes after it went out.
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
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 2.0 hours before the alert went out and 161 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
835 PM EDT SUN JUL 01 2012
.Forecast Update...
Issued at 835 PM EDT Sun Jul 1 2012
Svr t-storm watch 448 is still in effect until 11 pm EDT/ 10 pm
CDT. Complex of storms over southern Indiana continues to produce
1-1.25 inch hail and damaging winds in excess of 60 mph. Multiple
outflow boundaries are racing across the region spurring new
convection and re-energizing convection across the region. Expect
the complex of storms over southern Indiana to sag south through
around 6Z...then head southeast as an approaching upper level wave
pushes the main complex out of the area.
&&
.Short Term (Tonight through Monday night)...
Issued at 310 PM EDT Sun July 1 2012
Several issues to deal with in the short term forecast. Currently,
things are quiet across the CWA, however potential appears to be
growing for scattered thunderstorm activity later this evening. A
look at the latest water vapor imagery shows a weak shortwave
rounding the top of the ridge over southern Illinois, with an
associated weak surface low underneath. This is creating moisture
convergence near the Wabash/Ohio River confluence and a few storms
have already fired near this location. Expect this wave, along with
other waves embedded in the northwest flow over IL/IN to slowly move
toward the region later this evening and should provide enough lift
to kick off scattered storms. One limiting factor will be strength
of the cap with strong mid level high to the south. With the amount
of instability, (CAPE values ~ 2000-4000 J/KG) and dry air at the
low and mid levels expect that storms that do fire will have the
potential to go severe with damaging winds and hail being the main
threats. Secondary threats would be heavy rainfall and cloud to
ground lightning. Deep layer shear is marginal for organization and
expect storm mode to mainly be pulse in nature. Best coverage of
storms should be across southern Indiana and north central Kentucky.
Across south central Kentucky, expect cap to be strong enough to
keep things dry overnight.
As far as the heat goes, current temperatures are ranging in the
upper 90s to low 100s across the region. Record high temperatures
have already been tied or set at BWG, SDF, and LEX with an hour or
two of heating still to go. Will keep heat headlines in place
through late this evening, however will downgrade to an advisory
mainly along and west of I-65 for tomorrow. Will go with no headline
east of this line. Thanks to surrounding offices for collaboration.
Overall high temperatures are expected to be a degree or two cooler
than today, however higher dew points will yield heat indices near
the same values as today. Either way, we should be below Excessive
Heat Warning criteria and with prolonged nature of the heat, felt
advisory was still sufficient. One other factor that could wreck the
temperature forecast will be a better chance of convection. Will
give the following shifts time to re-evaluate.
Overall, expect a weakening of the upper level ridge through this
forecast period which should lead to an increase in isolated to
scattered convective chances tomorrow afternoon and evening. Also,
mid level pattern looks to have several weak waves embedded within
which could enhance areas of convection. Low confidence portion of
the forecast carries slight chances overnight, mainly across the
northern CWA. Monday could bring isolated to scattered coverage
across the entire CWA and will rely on diurnal trends and low
confidence to go with a dry forecast for Monday night.
Expect mild overnight lows once again in the 70s. Tomorrow will see
highs ranging from the upper 90s to around 100 degrees in most
spots. Overnight lows will once again be in the 70s.
.Long Term (Tuesday through Sunday)...
Issued at 250 PM EDT Sun Jul 1 2012
Above normal temp regime continues, but the devil is in the details
here as the upper ridge retrogrades into the Plains. Ohio Valley
will be in the NW flow on the periphery of the ridge for the middle
portion of the week. Forecast confidence is low due to impulses
aloft that will be at best difficult to time. With a hot and fairly
humid air mass in place, it will not take much of a disturbance to
initiate convection on any day. That said, we remain in a drought so
would rather not get carried away with inserting 20-30 POPs across
the board. Best shot appears to be Tuesday, with POPs trending down
and being more limited to the Bluegrass and the higher terrain after
that as the timing becomes more difficult. The breakdown of the
ridge overhead will keep things just unsettled enough to limit max
temps to the mid/upper 90s, with heat indices just over 100 each
afternoon.
GFS/ECMWF both show the ridge strengthening over the Plains and then
building east Friday into Saturday, which could bring 100 degree
heat back to the area in time for the weekend. Sunday carries
another divergence in the models, as the GFS tries to develop an
East Coast trough, and bring a cold front SE across the Ohio Valley.
Will include a 20-30 POP out of respect for the modest height falls
aloft, but still splitting the difference between the 100 degree
temps in the previous forecast and the lower 90s advertised by the
latest GFS extended MOS.
&&
.Aviation (00Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 750 PM EDT Sun July 1 2012
Main focus for this TAF period is ongoing convection over southern
Indiana and northern KY. Used a combo of current obs as well as
latest NAM and HRRR model guidance for this TAF forecast. SDF looks
to be the most under the gun with an outflow boundary headed that
way by around 0000Z-0015Z. Another complex of storms looks to move
east into the SDF terminal by around 1Z bringing gusty winds of
30-40 mph and very heavy rainfall.
LEX does stand a chance at some t-storms later this evening between
1Z-4Z but will wait to see if the current storm complexes survive as
they move eastward or sag southward before inserting specifics.
BWG has the least chance of experiencing convection tonight due to a
strong cap over the area. Still a few left over showers may make it
that far south overnight. Will refine timing based on radar trends
this evening.
After this complex diminishes late tonight, winds will decline and
remain mainly out of a westerly directions.
