The radar
The Louisville radar (KLVX), 128 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:42 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 9.7 hours before the alert went out and 185 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
310 PM EST SUN JAN 13 2013
.Short Term (Tonight through Monday Night)...
Issued at 300 PM EST Sun Jan 13 2013
Rain will continue across the area this afternoon as the last main
wave pushes northeast across the region. Most areas could see up to
another inch of rain through early this evening. There have been
some reports of flooded roadways, though they have not been
widespread. In addition, a few rivers are expected to reach minor
flood stage. We will keep the Flood Watch going this afternoon and
would not be surprised if a few more minor flooding reports come in
this afternoon.
As the rain moves out quickly this evening and tonight it will be a
race between how fast the precipitation ends and how fast the cold
air moves in. Currently it looks like the only area that will have a
chance for some freezing rain will be around
Dubois/Orange/Crawford/Perry counties in southern Indiana. Even this
looks like it will only last an hour or two before the precipitation
moves out. No accumulations are expected except a possible light
glaze on elevated surfaces. What could cause more of a problem
overnight is water already on the roads from the rains today
freezing as temperatures drop into the 20s overnight. Some slick
spots may develop by commute time tomorrow.
Dry weather is expected by tomorrow morning in the wake of the cold
front. Temperatures will be much colder tomorrow with highs in the
lower 30s in the northwest and lower 40s in the east.
As the front stalls once again to the southeast of the forecast
area, another wave will move north along it. This will spread some
light rain into southern Kentucky tomorrow afternoon. Some snow may
mix in with the rain as temps cool tomorrow night. By late in the
evening there will be a loss of ice in the clouds, so freezing
drizzle will be possible later in the night. Though no big ice
accumulations are expected, a few slick spots may develop around the
Lake Cumberland region tomorrow night.
.Long Term (Tuesday - Sunday)...
Issued at 300 PM EST Sun Jan 13 2013
Latest model data suggests that we will continue to see low chances
(20-30%) of precip over portions of south central KY Tues and Tues
evening. Although the cold front will be located well to our south,
individual waves riding along the front will continue to cause the
precip field to push north into south central KY from time to time
Tues-Tues night. Looks like precip should be in the form of all
rain Tuesday during the daylight hours. However, Tuesday evening
south central KY may experience a wintry mix as the thermal profile
falls below freezing. It's tough to say which wintry precip will
occur due to large differences between model soundings. However,
any wintry precip that falls should be on the light side and sfc
temps will likely still be above freezing Tuesday evening when this
occurs.
The rest of the long term period looks to remain dry for the Ohio
Valley with weather systems passing to our north and south Wed-Sun.
Temperatures are expected to be near normal for this time of year in
the upper 30s and lower 40s most days next week. Saturday will be a
bit warmer as strong SW flow gets going ahead of an approaching cold
front. High temps should be in the upper 40s to around 50 Sat.
After the front passes Sat/Sun, we will see temps fall back to
normal for Sun. Low temperatures Tues-Sun will be in the 20s to
around 30.
A more significant change in temperatures looks possible early next
week when the polar vortex moves south into east central Canada
carving out a significant trough over the eastern CONUS. Although
it is a bit early to tell how cold, this does look like a
significant cool down to below normal temps for early to mid week
next week.
&&
.Aviation (18Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 1205 PM EST Sun Jan 13 2013
The cold front that will be moving through the area has stalled out
for a bit this morning just to the northwest of SDF. This has
delayed the wind shift and the lower cigs from moving into the
region. Ceilings are still expected to drop to 1 kft or just below
over the next couple of hours at SDF and BWG. In addition, at BWG
some thunderstorms have developed in the area so will carry VCTS
there for a couple of hours.
The main challenge will be the wind shift and ceilings through this
TAF period. The lower ceilings will move out late this evening or
overnight as the cold front moves off to the southeast. Mid and high
clouds will likely hang around overnight and into tomorrow morning.
As the front passes through winds will shift to the northwest and
then to northerly through tomorrow morning.
&&
.Hydrology...
The previously advertised cold front has been attempting to slowly
make its way eastward across the Ohio Valley on Sunday. Because of
the slow moving nature of the frontal boundary, copious amounts of
rain has fallen across much of central Kentucky and southern Indiana
by Sunday afternoon. As of 7am EST, the highest amount reported was
2.14 inches in a 24-hour period near Lewisport, KY. A few reports of
minor flooding problems have come in already with more expected
throughout the remainder of the day as additional rainfall amounts
of up to 1 inch are forecast across the area.
All of this rain has created very soggy grounds, allowing for plenty
of water to flow into creeks, streams, and rivers. As such, a River
Flood Warning has been issued for the Rough River near Dundee in
Ohio County. The current warning calls for minor flood stage to be
reached by about 02Z tonight, however, if the observed levels
continue to exceed the current forecast, the warning may need to go
into effect sooner, possibly before or around 00Z. The next location
being closely monitored is Paris at Stoner Creek in the Licking
River basin. This spot has the potential to reach or exceed minor
flood stage overnight tonight, highly depending on how much rain
accumulates in that area. Other locations in the Green River basin
to watch for rising river levels over the next 24 to 36 hours
includes Alvaton (Drakes Creek) and Woodbury. Please stay informed
with the latest forecasts and products as the situation continues to
develop.
