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 27, 2:07 PM CDT, 1 hour 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 2:07 PM CDT, 1 hour 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 307 PM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014 .SHORT TERM (Now through Monday Night)... Issued at 305 PM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014 ...Conditional severe threat continues across south-central KY this afternoon into early this evening... The synoptic pattern this afternoon features a strong digging trough across the Midwest and Great Lakes, with an upstream ridge amplifying across the western CONUS. This trough will dig into the Ohio Valley tonight into tomorrow, allowing for drier weather and much cooler temperatures to filter into the region. Before the cooler and drier air works in, we must first deal with a conditional severe weather threat this afternoon into early this evening across south-central KY. A volatile airmass has developed in this region, with MLCAPEs of 3000+ J/kg according to the latest SPC mesoanalysis. However, very warm mid-level air has also advected into this region (700mb temps around 11C) which is putting the lid on convection thus far. Latest satellite imagery shows a boundary pushing into northern KY as of this writing. This boundary is only weakly convergent, thus there remains some uncertainty as to whether additional convection will be able to push through the cap and develop along it. Latest hi-res guidance continues to support development from 21-22Z along this boundary across southern KY, so think it is too early to let our guard down. If scattered convection is able to develop, effective shear of 40-50 knots will likely support quick supercell development capable of large hail and damaging winds. A conditional tornado threat will be possible with any storm that can develop given the low-level speed shear, but veered surface flow will limit low-level hodograph length. The synoptic cold front located well north across central Illinois will push through overnight, bringing cooler and drier conditions to the region. Overnight lows tonight will fall into the low and mid 60s, with falling dewpoints into the lower 60s. The upper-level trough will dig into the region Monday afternoon. This cold core aloft may be enough to induce some isolated sprinkles/light showers over the Northern Bluegrass region of Kentucky. Otherwise, it will be a mainly dry day with much cooler temperatures as highs will struggle to get out of the upper 70s. Monday night will be mainly clear as a surface ridge builds in from the northwest. With generally light winds, it will be an unseasonably cool night as temperatures dip into the low to mid 50s! Some of these values may threaten record lows, so stay tuned. .LONG TERM (Tuesday through Sunday)... Issued at 250 PM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014 A highly amplified upper level pattern is expected to persist across North America this week with a deep trough in the east with a corresponding upper level ridge out in the west. With the Ohio Valley being under the influence of the upper trough, we will see much below normal temperatures for the upcoming work week. The latest deterministic and ensemble guidance is similar to the previous 27/00Z guidance which leads to increased forecaster confidence...especially in the Tuesday through Thursday range. Surface high pressure will drift across the region at the beginning of the forecast period. This will lead to dry conditions with mainly sunny days and mainly clear nights. Could get very close to record lows in some spots Tuesday morning. In addition, we could also see some record cold highs on Tuesday afternoon as readings will only warm into the lower-middle 70s. We still expect a warm up from Wednesday into Thursday as temperatures look to warm into the upper 70s to the lower 80s in the north with middle 80s in the south. Overnight lows will generally be in the 60s. By Friday and into the weekend, the multi-model consensus continues to agree that the upper level trough over the east will deepen slightly as several vorticity lobes drop and rotate around the base of the trough. As this these lobes rotate through, they may induce a cut off low to develop across the Ohio Valley. The 12Z deterministic Euro solution is not as deep as in previous runs. However, the main story here will be that somewhat unsettled conditions are expected to be in place from Friday through Sunday. Overall, it does not look to be a washout, but scattered diurnally driven convection looks likely. Highs through this time fame look to be in the upper 70s to the lower 80s with overnight lows in the 60s. && .AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)... Issued at 105 PM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014 Rather difficult TAF forecast unfolding this afternoon and evening, as guidance is struggling to resolve convection across the region. It appears the main focus for convection is just now shifting south of KSDF, so will initiate with a dry forecast there. Expect showers/storms to affect KLEX/KBWG this afternoon as the atmosphere remains quite unstable. Some of these storms may be severe, with locally damaging winds and large hail. Will leave just VCTS wording given the expected scattered nature of the storms and amend as necessary. Otherwise, a cold front will sweep through all sites tonight, allowing for much drier air to work into the region. All sites will go VFR, with NNW winds around 10 knots. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && Short Term........KJD Long Term.........MJ Aviation..........KJD
