The radar
The Jackson,KY radar (KJKL), 101 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:25 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 watch it was issued in

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, 6:34 PM EDT, 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 6:34 PM EDT, 49 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 634 PM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014 ...Mesoscale Forecast Update... Issued at 630 PM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014 Afternoon thunderstorms have faded and pushed off to the SE. However an unstable air mass remains, with a couple of boundaries still in play and storms trying to fire along them. First boundary is roughly along the Cumberland Parkway, left over from earlier storms. The other is the surface front diving SE across southern Indiana. A strong cap is in place with 700mb temps at 11-12C, and that is working against storm intensification. However, steep lapse rates above and below that cap mean that anything breaking through could easily go severe, albeit more of a wind risk than a tornado risk. Given that and coordination with SPC and JKL, will let the Tornado Watch ride, most likely until its 00Z expiration. .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 (00Z TAF Update)... Issued at 630 PM EDT Sun Jul 27 2014 Unusually dynamic cold front for mid-July approaching the Ohio Valley, and will push SE across Kentucky this evening. Will initialize with gusty west winds and VFR conditions, with SCT-BKN cu around 4K feet. Broken line of T-storms across Indiana is struggling to hold together on its south end. While there is an outside chance for a thunderstorm at any of the terminals this evening, probabilities are low enough that the worst case would be including VCTS at one or more sites. That will be a last-minute call, and most likely would affect LEX, or in the very near-term, BWG. Winds come around to NW overnight, with enough of a gradient to keep speeds up at 7-9 kt. Will pick up winds to 10-12 kt by midday Monday with mixing, and VFR conditions with only fair-weather cu. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
