The radar

The Louisville radar (KLVX), 24 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 15:44 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 3.7 hours before the alert went out and 229 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.

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 17, 9:45 AM EST, 58 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 17, 9:45 AM EST, 58 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
945 AM EST TUE JAN 17 2012

...Mesoscale Update...

Focus now has shifted to the line of strong to severe thunderstorms
that is moving toward our northwestern counties.  Upstream storm
reports indicate some wind damage with this activity over extreme
eastern IL and far western IN.  This line has several bowing
segments where damaging winds will be very possible.  These storms
will be affecting Dubois, Perry, Crawford, Orange, and Washington
counties in southern Indiana very shortly.  With such strong
mid-level winds of 60-75 knots, wind damage is the most likely
severe weather threat.  However, proximity soundings near the squall
line do also show some low-level turning of winds.  Hence, it is
possible that some isolated tornadoes may occur within this
line...especially in the bowing segments.

Current speed of the line will have it moving into the I-65 corridor
and into metro Louisville around 11AM EST and in Bowling Green
around Noon CST.  Lexington, being further east will likely not see
this line until around 1230-100 PM EST.

&&

.Short Term (Today - Tonight)...

Elongated surface low extends from south-central Missouri into
central Illinois, with strong SSW low-level flow over the Ohio
Valley. The air mass being advected in is unseasonably mild, but so
far not exceedingly moist, which has somewhat limited the
development of precip south of the Ohio River. Strong low-level jet
(60-65 kt at 3000 ft AGL per KLVX 88-D) has not penetrated the
boundary layer as well as we expected, with 2000 ft winds holding
around 45 kt.

Showers that tried to expand south and east into central Kentucky
are now largely confined to Indiana, but METARs did show peak winds
near 40 mph at SDF and FFT at or just before the onset of precip
earlier. Expect more gusty showers, and perhaps a few thunderstorms,
through the pre-dawn hours, mainly in Indiana but possibly as far
south and east as the Bluegrass Parkway. Not expecting severe wind
gusts, but with the screaming low-level jet, any shower or
thunderstorm could briefly mix down strong wind gusts in the 40-50
mph range.

Still on track for an early afternoon frontal passage, but the
precip chances should actually drop off to a low-end likely a few
hours before that, as the low-level jet is shunted south and east of
the forecast area. Thunder potential will exit with the low-level
jet around midday.

Temps will remain near current readings, mainly in the mid-50s,
through late morning in Indiana, and early/mid-afternoon in
Kentucky. Once the front moves through, expect temperatures to
rapidly fall through the 40s, and into the 30s by early evening.

As usual this begs the question of snow potential with the exiting
precip shield. NAM takes the precip out of central Kentucky too
quickly to change over, but the GFS is a little slower. Forecast
soundings only show a very shallow layer near saturation at -10C,
and time-height X-sections actually show downward motion. Therefore,
we will be hard pressed to see any changeover except in the I-75
corridor early this evening. Even then it looks more like a mix, if
anything, so we will carry a chance of rain or snow showers. Surface
temps still above freezing so little or no impact is expected.

.Long Term (Wednesday night through Monday)...

The early portion of the extended, late Wednesday through Sunday,
will feature a fast progressive zonal jet that will basically bisect
the CONUS from west to east. Bitterly cold arctic air across Canada
will spill south of the Canadian border and bring cold temperatures
to the northern states. Unseasonably mild temperatures will stretch
across our southern states from New Mexico across the Gulf States
through the Carolinas. A baroclinic zone will become established
across the Lower Ohio Valley with a sharp contrast in temperatures
from north to south, making our temperature forecast Thursday
through Saturday tricky.

Temperatures will start off cold Wednesday as high pressure builds
over the Commonwealth. Under mostly clear to partly cloudy skies,
light north winds will diminish during the afternoon before becoming
light southerly by Thursday morning. Despite highs only in the upper
30s to around 40, sun and light winds will make Wednesday seem
warmer.

A potent low pressure system will move across the western Great
Lakes early Thursday. Arctic high pressure will quickly build across
the Upper Midwest by afternoon. A cold front will move south of the
Ohio River late in the day. However, the bulk of the really bitterly
cold air will stay to the north, with the Commonwealth receiving
just a glancing blow from this shallow arctic airmass. Some light
snow showers or flurries may just graze our northern counties across
the Bluegrass and southern Indiana Thursday afternoon. Thursday's
highs may show a wide range from north to south on Thursday, and
possibly Friday's as well, varying from the upper 30s north to near
50 across the south. Both the GFS and latest ECMWF show a weak
trough crossing the region early Saturday. Light rain is likely
Saturday, with again, cold air likely remaining to the north.

Sunday and Monday...

Jet stream energy will move east into the central Rockies Sunday and
this will lead to a broad ridge developing across the southern
states. Light southwest flow will likely lead to several very mild
days early next week. Highs Sunday and Monday will rise well into
the 50s. The GFS hints at a significant cyclone developing across
the southern plains next Monday. This system will bring increasing
moisture and potentially two wet days Monday and Tuesday.

&&

.Aviation (12Z TAF Issuance)...

Strong SSW flow continues in the low levels, but the LLJ remains
weaker than anticipated. VAD Wind Profiles from KLVX and surrounding
88-Ds would indicate 2000 ft winds near 45 kt, with just enough of a
directional difference to have a marginal LLWS impact. By
mid-morning the low-level jet will be shunted off to our east, and
cooling from the top down will start to mix the jet out through the
boundary layer. Therefore LLWS will only be included in the
initialization. Wind gusts near or above 25 kt will be fairly
commonplace. Could see 30-35 kt gusts in or just ahead of any
convective elements, but given the difficulty in pinning down
location or timing, the TAFs will not be that bullish.

Ceilings are VFR with the exception of BWG which has just gone MVFR.
Will remain close to that threshold for the next couple of hours.
A smattering of quick-moving showers merits initializing with VCSH,
with a more organized line working its way in from the west by
mid-morning. Not as much lightning as in the convection farther
north, so the low probability for thunder will continue to be
covered with CB wording. Based on METARs over SW Indiana and western
Kentucky, expect ceilings to go MVFR but remain above fuel-alternate
threshold.

Front goes through SDF and BWG 18-19Z, and LEX by 21Z. Sharply colder
air in the lowest 3000 ft will provide a very well-mixed boundary
layer, and gusts could easily exceed 30 kt, especially in SDF and
LEX. MVFR ceilings will improve to VFR after sunset, and gusty winds
should abate.  SDF will carry the strongest winds through the night,
holding up near or above 15 kt.
