The radar

The Nashville radar (KOHX), 101 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 08:11 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

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 Jan 23, 1:58 AM CST, 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 23, 1:58 AM CST, 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
258 AM EST MON JAN 23 2012

...Mesoscale Update...

Squall line just east of I-65 continues to produce damaging winds.
Impressive low-level wind field just ahead of the line, with KLVX
88-D showing 80+ kt at 5000 ft, and this has led SPC to place another
watch in the eastern CWA. Tornado threat has been limited by low-
level stable layer.

Will clear counties west of the I-65 corridor from WW 8 in time for
ZFP issuance, and expect the SVR threat to continue to taper off
from west to east. Convective line should exit the CWA by daybreak,
but trailing stratiform region should remain a player into
mid-morning.

&&

.Short Term (Today and Tonight)...

Stratiform rain trailing the exiting squall line should taper off by
mid to late morning. Cold front will move through by midday, but the
gradient remains tight behind it. Look for wind gusts near 35 mph,
and strong cold advection will result in slowly falling temps
through the day. Min temps tonight will be held up by persistent 6-8
kt WSW winds, and forecast values in the lower/mid-30s are about 10
degrees above normal.

.Long Term (Tuesday through Sunday)...

Surface high pressure will bring us much quieter weather at the
start of the long term and keep us dry into Wednesday morning.

For much of the long term period we will once again have a Desert
Southwest upper low that will head east across the southern U.S. and
may or may not phase with an upper trof moving from the Prairie
Provinces through the Great Lakes to New England.  In situations
like this earlier this season the GFS tended to be the better prog
with its habit of being a bit slower and more conservative than the
ECMWF.  Once again, with the latest data suite, the GFS is a little
slower than the ECMWF and we will lean toward the GFS solution.

So, it looks like an inverted surface trof will form from the Texas
coast to the windward side of the central Appalachians over the
course of the day on Wednesday.  Moisture will gradually spread
northeastward along this axis and reach the LMK CWA, at least in the
southwest, by Wednesday afternoon.  Precipitation should then become
widespread Wednesday night into Thursday, especially in Kentucky, as
the system slowly moves through the region.  Thursday night high
pressure comes in from the mid-Mississippi Valley to push the
precipitation out of our area.  At this time the entire period looks
to be plain rain for precip type.

Friday we sit between low pressure developing in the southeast U.S.
along the remnants of the old trof, and a weak cool front advancing
from the upper Plains.  Precip chances will be greater northwest and
southeast of our area, but we will still need low chance POPs.  The
cool front moves through on Saturday, primarily dry thanks to high
pressure developing along the Gulf Coast, and then dry weather looks
on tap for Saturday night into Sunday.

Still no brutally cold air in the forecast, with highs in the 40s
and 50s and lows in the 20s and 30s as we approach the first of
February...though the weekend could be colder than currently progged
depending on the amount of upper troffing that is realized.

&&

.Aviation (06Z TAF Issuance)...

Squall line into IL/western KY will push east across Kentucky,
reaching BWG and SDF either side of 08Z, and making it into LEX
around 10Z depending on cold pool driven acceleration. Ahead of the
line, will initialize with LLWS as a 50 kt low-level jet slides
across the area. MVFR ceilings, but SDF and BWG are in the warm
sector with ceilings holding in fuel-alternate territory.

Have taken the best shot at the line, and narrowed it down to a
1-1.5 hour window. Visibilities will drop into IFR at least briefly
in the heaviest rain.

Will carry MVFR in the trailing stratiform through daybreak, with
the front coming through mid-morning. Behind the front conditions
improve to VFR, but strong boundary-layer mixing and a tight gradient
will crank SW winds up to a solid 20 kt, with gusts around 30 kt.
