The radar

The Evansville,IN radar (KVWX), 66 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:26 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 tornado 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, 9.4 hours before the alert went out and 217 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, Jan 12, 12:07 PM CST, 3 hours 19 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
1207 PM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1207 PM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION ONLY.

&&

UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1101 AM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

JUST OVERHAULED THE GRIDS FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT TO REFLECT LATEST
OBSERVATIONAL AND GUIDANCE TRENDS. MAIN ISSUES WERE TO HOLD OFF ON
BETTER POPS UNTIL MID AFTERNOON...AND TO FOCUS THEM MORE OVER
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI INITIALLY. ALSO KNOCKED DOWN POPS OVER THE
PENNYRILE...AS MOST GUIDANCE KEEPS THAT AREA DRY BUT FOR A FEW
SCATTERED SHOWERS OR STORMS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. MADE MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO ALL ELEMENTS TO BETTER FIT DEVELOPING FRONTAL ZONE
OVER THE REGION.

AFTER A QUICK LOOK AT THE 12Z MODELS...AM BEGINNING TO GET
CONCERNED FOR A WINTRY MESS OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS SUNDAY. NOT
SURE IF CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH FOR A HEADLINE...BUT WILL AT
LEAST CONTINUE THE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT WHEN MAIN PACKAGE IS
ISSUED LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 AM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

BUSY TIME FRAME WITH ALL TYPES OF WEATHER TO CONSIDER. FIRSTLY
WILL STATE THAT THE 00Z ECMWF/CANADIAN MODELS CONT TO BE THE
CHOICE DUE TO RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY IN HOLDING ONTO PRECIP A BIT
LONGER THAN OTHER MODELS...WHICH MAKES SINCE UNTIL H50 FLOW CAN
BECOME MORE WRLY.

THAT SAID...SFC COLD FRONT WILL DIP SOUTHEAST INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY REGION THIS AFTERNOON...AND STALL UNTIL LATER
TONIGHT...WHEN A SFC LOW CAN WORK ITS WAY UP THE FRONT AND DRAW
THE FRONT SOUTHEAST OUT THE REGION. AGAIN...WITH LOTS OF MOISTURE
AND MID SUPPORT OVERRUNNING THE FRONT...SHOULD SEE PRECIP SHIELD
CONT TO DEVELOP BACK TO OUR SOUTHWEST IN THE COLDER AIR BEHIND
THE FRONT. IN FACT...DUE TO ALREADY SATURATED TOP SOIL OVER MOST
OF THE REGION...EITHER FROM MELTED SNOW PACK OR RECENT
RAINFALL...6 HR FLASH FOOD GUIDANCE IS RUNNING QUITE LOW AROUND 2
TO 2 AND A HALF INCHES. COULD CHALLENGE THESE NUMBERS...ESP ALONG
AND NORTHWEST OF THE OHIO RIVER/SFC FRONT LATER
TODAY/TONIGHT...THEN FARTHER S AND EAST SUNDAY AS THE
MOISTURE/FORCING SHIFTS EAST. THEREFORE...WILL NOT GET TOO
CUTE...AND INTRODUCE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST
REGION FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY.

A SECOND ASPECT WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE WITH ITS CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL. WE RARELY GET AWAY WITH SFC DEW POINTS IN THE 60S IN
JAN WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT WITH SOME TYPE OF SEVERE WEATHER.
LUCKILY...OVERALL INSTABILITIES DO NOT LOOK TOO IMPRESSIVE DESPITE
THE DEW POINTS. STILL...MAY BE JUST ENOUGH TO COMBINE WITH MID LEVEL
JET MAX EJECTING NE OUT OF THE MAIN UPPER TROF THIS EVENING TO
WARRANT AT LEAST SOME SOME SEVERE POTENTIAL. ANY CONVECTION THAT
DOES FORM WILL ONLY SERVE TO LOCALLY INCREASE RAINFALL
TOTALS...THUS THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH VS A FLOOD WATCH.

FINALLY...AS MUCH COLDER LOW LVL COLD AIR DIVES SE INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY SUNDAY...THE REAR FLANK OF THE PRECIP SHIELD WILL LIKELY
CHANGE OVER TO A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET AS IT ADVANCES
EAST DURING THE DAY. TEMPS WILL LIKELY FALL BELOW FREEZING OVER NW
AREAS OF THE REGION JUST AFTER SUNRISE...THEN AROUND NOON OR SO
ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. COULD BE A QUICK TENTH OR TWO OF FREEZING
RAIN...MAINLY ALONG AND NW OF THE OHIO RIVER SUNDAY...AS ECMWF
SOUNDINGS INDICATE 5000 FT TO 1200 FT LAYER WILL STAY ABOVE
FREEZING.

THING IS...ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN SO WARM...THAT IT WILL
NEED TO GET VERY COLD VERY FAST FOR COMMERCE ISSUES. DO NOT THINK
THIS WILL BE THE CASE UNTIL PRECIP ENDS LATE SUNDAY...BUT A
COATING ON TREES/POWER LINES SEEMS A GREATER POSSIBILITY. THINK
OVERALL HIGHEST CHC FOR SUBSTANTIAL ICING OF ELEVATED SURFACES
WOULD BE ALONG/EAST OF THE WABASH RIVER VALLEY...ESP SW INDIANA.
WILL ISSUE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR NOW...AND KEEP AN EYE ON
THIS ONE. OBVIOUSLY...CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 AM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

OTHER THAN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SOME LINGERING SNOW IN THE KHOP AREA
MONDAY NIGHT...LONG TERM APPEARS DRY WITH TEMPS GRADUALLY REBOUNDING
TO SEASONAL NORMS.

CONFLUENT MID LEVEL FLOW WILL EXIST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH
MOST OF THE LONG TERM. THERE ARE STILL INDICATIONS THAT A SYSTEM IN
THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE JET WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF WEST
KENTUCKY AND SE MISSOURI LATE IN THE WEEK. HOWEVER...MODEL
CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN VERY POOR. THERE IS STILL NOT ENOUGH OF A MODEL
SIGNAL TO ALTER THE DRY FORECAST.

COLD NORTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW EARLY IN THE WEEK WILL BACK INTO THE
SOUTHWEST WEDNESDAY...BRINGING A SLOW WARMING TREND. FORECAST TEMPS
WILL NOT BE QUITE AS WARM AS SHOWN BY EITHER 00Z GFS OR ECMWF MOS
GUIDANCE.

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED AT 1207 PM CST SAT JAN 12 2013

THERE SHOULD BE A TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENT IN CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON IN THE ERN THIRD OF THE REGION...DUE TO MOST OF THE
INFLUENCE OF THE DEVELOPING SFC TROF BEING WEST OF THERE.
OTHERWISE...LIFR AND WORSE CIGS IN THE WRN TWO THIRDS MAY IMPROVE
ONLY SOME WITH INCREASING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY LATER TODAY. LIGHTNING
ACTIVITY ACROSS THE PAH FORECAST AREA MAY PEAK IN THE LATE AFTERNOON
WITH THE SFC TROF...THEN AGAIN IN THE EVENING AS A COLD FRONT
BEGINS ITS PUSH EWD THROUGH THE REGION. SE/SSE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE IN THE EVENING...THEN SHIFT TO THE NW NEAR OR AFTER
MIDNIGHT. EXPECT VSBYS TO BE QUITE VARIABLE UNTIL FROPA.
