SCHOETTMERWhat 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 26, 9:51 PM EDT, 1 hour 23 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 26, 9:51 PM EDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 951 PM EDT THU JUL 26 2012 .Forecast Update... Issued at 950 PM EDT Thu Jul 26 2012 Convection continues to move steadily eastward across the forecast area this evening. Atmosphere has become more stabilized across southern Indiana and portions of north-central Kentucky where convective overturning has occurred. Despite the decrease in instability, the low-level jet has been trying to kick off some more convection across southern Indiana. This activity will most likely affect the northern half of the Louisville metro area in the next 60-90 minutes. Further south, a very pronounced outflow/mesoscale boundary lies from Ohio county east-northeastward to Madison county. Convection continues to propagate eastward along this boundary and is showing some signs of increasing in intensity. The atmosphere south of this boundary has largely remained undisturbed and is coincident with the best instability and moisture. Since this area has not been worked over, have coordinated with SPC and extended WW526 in both time and in area to cover all of southern Kentucky until 06Z (2AM EDT). As this line heads east-southeast, we'll clear out counties from the watch as the threat diminishes. Updated forecast and text products are in production and will be available shortly. && .Short Term (Tonight through Friday Night)... Issued at 300 PM EDT Thu Jul 26 2012 ...Strong to Severe Thunderstorms Likely This Afternoon and Evening with Damaging Winds and Intense Lightning... Wave train of MCV evident on visible satellite from northern Oklahoma to northern Indiana, with 4 separate rotations along the train. Perhaps another weak one over Lake Erie. Our afternoon weather right now looks to come more from a convergent boundary out ahead of this train now oriented SW to NE around Dubois county and/or from a differential heating boundary caused by that anvil shield. Not much has fired off of these boundaries yet, which may be because of subsidence on the edge of the cirrus shield coming from earlier convection. Latest AMDAR sounding from KSDF indicates an inversion at 12 kft that could be a representation of this subsidence. Expect that by mid/late afternoon our updrafts should be strong enough to overcome, along with added boundaries, any convective inhibition. Once that cap is broken, expect more numerous storms to fire off. Soundings still indicate the primary threats as damaging winds as well as excessive lightning with these storms, with a secondary threat as hail. Think wet bulb zeroes are too high for very large hail, but quarter to golf ball size is possible. Have now seen enough initiation upstream to warrant going with a watch. Should see coverage become more numerous after 5 PM across the watch area. For this evening, hi res models, the 4 km NAM and the latest rapid refresh, are trying to show additional development from the MCV now over central Missouri. That system looks to bring perhaps a second punch of storms in from the west across my southwest forecast area toward the end of the current watch, though may get some initiation ahead of that time based on heating alone. Expect most activity to die off soon after midnight. Will trend the forecast pops down to lower end chances, mainly across our southeast forecast area. As for the severity of this second set of storms, the best chance would be as the storms move through areas that did not receive the first batch. Would think again damaging winds is the main threat. Lows should fall to the low/mid 70s. The front associated with today's line of convection looks to make it to the Ohio River before dissipating overnight. Now Friday has become a tricky forecast with the latest set of models. The 06Z NAM indicated a second front developing and it's 12Z version, along with the GFS's, now also indicate this second front. Precipitable waters come down ahead of this front, but with height falls aloft, now hail looks to jump back in as a bigger threat for any storms that develop. As previous forecasts have dried out Friday, would prefer not to jump back in with scattered storms just yet. Will trend upward and mention isolated chances for now. Highs are also tricky, as they will depend on how long morning cloud cover sticks around. The NAM-based MET guidance has consistently been calling for temps around 100 for SDF and points north, whereas the MAV guidance has been quite a bit cooler. The latest MET is a little cooler, but reasonable given the lack of a real front pushing through until Friday afternoon. The good news though is that the drier air over the region should preclude Heat Advisory criteria. With a frontal passage Friday night, expect lows to be cooler than tonight. Readings should get back into the 60s for some of the normally cooler locations, but stay around 70/lows 70s for the main metro areas. .Long Term (Saturday through Thursday)... Issued at 240 PM EDT Thu Jul 26 2012 Main concern this afternoon lies in the short term period with a potential severe event at hand so have made only minor tweaks to the long term period. It still looks like Sat/Sun will be mostly dry on the back side of an upper level trough with sfc high pressure building in. Several chances of storms will exists for next week as we sit in an active NW flow with several shortwaves passing through. 20-40% POPs are in the forecast for now with timing of individual waves still quite uncertain. Temperatures will be near normal through the long term period with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Lows will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s. && .Aviation (0Z TAF Issuance)... Issued at 727 PM EDT Thu Jul 26 2012 Showers and t-storms look to continue across the area through 4-6Z this evening. Will handle mainly with VCTS in the TAFs and highlight specific storms with TEMPO groups as they approach the TAF sites this evening. We should see a break in storms during the early morning hours tonight through the early afternoon hours Friday. However, an upper trough and second sfc front look to cause another round of convection some time Fri afternoon/evening. Will need to take a better look at that for the 6Z TAFs. Will focus the 0Z TAFs on ongoing convection. Any flight restrictions through the TAF period should be in t-storms. Gusty winds will continue in and outside of t-storms especially with a multitude of outflow boundaries in the area. Will handle outflows in TEMPOs as well. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
