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 Jul 19, 4:28 PM EDT, 2 hours 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 19, 4:28 PM EDT, 2 hours 10 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
428 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

.Forecast Update...
Issued at 425 PM EDT Thu Jul 19 2012

Severe T-storm Watch 495 has been expanded to include Scott,
Harrison, Bourbon, and Nicholas Counties.  Now all of our area
along and north of a line from Casey County to Larue County to
Hancock County in KY and southern Indiana are under the watch.  The
watch was issued due to ongoing severe convection and anticipated
new development over southern Indiana and north central KY later
this evening.  The watch goes through 11 pm EDT...10 pm CDT.
Products out shortly.

&&

.Short Term (Tonight - Friday Night)...
Issued at 320 PM EDT Thu Jul 19 2012

...Strong to Severe Storms Expected this Evening...

Storms have been slow to develop this afternoon with a slight cap in
place over most of the area.  However, one area that we have seen
some activity in is over portions of the Bluegrass and north central
KY where strong to marginally severe storms have been widely
scattered this afternoon.  We've had one report of 61 mph winds at
the Clark Co mesonet this afternoon.  This area had better lift due
to an upper level shortwave moving across central IN/OH today.  The
rest of our area has been inhibited by the cap and lack of trigger
so far.

This evening will be more favorable for a period of more widespread
strong to severe storms from about 7pm to 2am EDT.  We're already
starting to see more storms break the cap over north central KY east
of I-65 as of 3pm EDT.  Also, energy from the main upper level
trough will dive south this evening helping to produce numerous
showers and storms over the area.  Several sfc boundaries exist to
focus convection ahead of the main sfc front which extend SW from
the sfc low over central Illinois to southwest MO.  The low and sfc
front will move east overnight with the sfc front crossing the area
sometime tomorrow morning.  Some models indicate it may stall some
where over south central/east central KY tomorrow afternoon giving
southern and eastern portions of KY possibly another chance of
storms although probably not quite as strong. Convection should
clear the entire area sometime Fri night.

Strong to severe storms this evening will contain damaging winds as
the main threat.  With plenty of CAPE, severe hail will also be a
threat.  If a storm can latch onto a boundary, rotation or an isld
tornado could be possible but not likely.

With heat indices reaching criteria over most of the advisory area,
will leave in place for now.  Probably will cancel that early if
convection becomes more widespread.

Temps tonight will be in the lower 70s with highs tomorrow in the
mid 80s to around 90.  Lows Fri night will be in the upper 60s to
lower 70s.

.Long Term (Saturday through Thursday)...
Issued at 300 PM EDT Thu Jul 19 2012

Main trough axis should be off to our southeast Saturday morning.
With that shift, airmass should be drier over us. Expect troughiness
to be to our east most of this period, but it will weaken as a ridge
builds into the lower Mississippi River Valley. Thus expect after a
near normal start to temperatures Saturday, we will see a steady
rise after that. After a dry weekend, we should start seeing
isolated coverage again Monday afternoon and then scattered storms
the rest of the week. Heat indices look to get close to the advisory
level by midweek.

&&

.Aviation (18Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 130 PM EDT Thu Jul 19 2012

An upper level trough moving through the area as well as multiple
sfc boundaries will cause on and off chances of t-storms this
afternoon and tonight.  According to the latest 12Z NAM and 13Z HRRR
models, scattered convection near SDF/LEX looks likely this
afternoon with t-storm chances increasing this evening at BWG.  It
is hard to nail down timing of storms and have left VCTS in for a
good period this afternoon and evening.  Will need to refine reduced
flight conditions (MVFR or IFR) and winds as t-storms approach the
TAF sites.  Outside of any t-storms late this afternoon/evening, sfc
winds will become gusty out of the SW on approach of the main upper
level trough and sfc front.  The best chance of widespread storms
looks to be associated with these features between 0Z and 6Z this
evening.

After 6Z to 9Z storms should exit the TAF sites with lingering
showers possible.  NAM soundings and MOS guidance indicates low cigs
(MVFR) moving in behind the main convection lasting through the
morning hours.  The main wind shift (WSW to NW) with the main sfc
front will occur near the very end of this TAF period between
15-19Z tomorrow.
