The radar

The Nashville radar (KOHX), 102 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:03 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, 11.1 hours before the alert went out and 111 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 Jun 20, 5:45 PM CDT, 19 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 5:45 PM CDT, 19 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
645 PM EDT THU JUN 20 2013

...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.SHORT TERM (Now through Friday Night)...
Issued at 250 PM EDT Thu Jun 20 2013

Isolated to widely scattered convection across the south should die
off with loss of heating by early evening. The cells that are out
there now will not move much, as AMDAR soundings show little in the
way of winds over a deep layer. Expect locally an inch of rain to
fall under the heaviest cells, but given relatively low precipitable
water air out there, the cells should pop up and rain themselves out
quickly before causing too much in the way of a flooding threat.

The shortwave trough enhancing that convection today will be over
the Deep South Friday. Heights will rise again over our area, but
may be low enough for additional isolated convection to develop
across south central Kentucky. Our region will be between the
Bermuda high to our east and a nearly stationary low pressure area
just east of the central Rockies. The gradient between the two will
mean a general southerly flow over our region.

Temperatures tonight will fall into the 60s for most locations,
though one or two spots may drop into the upper 50s. Will have highs
Friday perhaps a degree or two warmer, and similar for lows Friday
night, as low-level thicknesses just inch upward.

.LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
Issued at 300 PM EDT Thu Jun 20 2013

Broad southerly low-level flow will provide increasingly warm and
moist air into the Ohio Valley during the extended period, as
1000-500 thicknesses, 850 hPa temps, and PWs/mixing ratios increase.
By late Wednesday/Thursday, it appears a cool frontal boundary will
approach from the northwest, which should decrease the heat a bit.
However, this is a week away, we will have to see how this plays
out.

As mentioned in the previous discussion, the ridge never builds
sufficiently overhead, with convection possible each afternoon. With
a lack of synoptic-scale forcing, expect hit-and-miss diurnal
convection. Will go with slight/isolated shower and thunderstorm
chances, as it will be hard to pin-point storm formation. However,
PoPs will begin to increase as Wednesday night approaches. A frontal
boundary will approach late Wednesday and Thursday, which will
supply a better chance of area-wide showers and thunderstorms.

Temperatures will hold steady in the upper 80s and lower 90s for
highs each day. Overnight lows will remain rather mild, with upper
60s and lower 70s each night. With moisture gradually increasing
through the period, expect heat indices to increase as well. So, it
will feel like low to mid 90s each afternoon and low to mid 70s each
night. If that front arrives as currently forecast, then temps
should decrease several degrees Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 644 PM EDT Thu Jun 20 2013

Upper level ridging building in overhead and weak surface ridging
will keep our weather fairly quiet and summery through this TAF
period.  The main concern for the overnight hours will be fog.  It
appears that the best chance will be at BWG where there were some
thunderstorms in the vicinity earlier.  Will keep vsby MVFR though.
The other item of concern is isolated thunderstorms, which should
pop up again tomorrow afternoon in the south.  However chances are
much too low to include in the BWG TAF at this time.
