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 May 21, 7:11 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 21, 7:11 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 711 PM EDT Wed May 21 2014 ...Mesoscale Forecast Update... Issued at 705 PM EDT Wed May 21 2014 Broken line of storms extends from southeast Indiana back into east-central Illinois, and is making enough headway to the SE to clip Jefferson County in Indiana and Trimble County in KY. Development along the outflow to help build the line SW has been limited by a strong cap around 750-800mb. However, these storms have had little difficulty putting out wind gusts close to 50 mph, perhaps even stronger in between observation sites. Also, as this activity tries to edge southward into Kentucky, the dynamics are better given stronger mid-level winds. Hail threat is already in the process of evolving into more of a wind threat, but can't rule out SVR hail north of I-64. Wind threat will be the main player for most of the evening, but that could evolve into a heavy rain threat later and location will depend heavily on where the line hangs up parallel to the flow aloft. .SHORT TERM (Now through Thursday Night)... Issued at 255 PM EDT Wed May 21 2014 ...Severe Storms with Strong Wind Gusts Possible This Evening... Storms are firing this afternoon over north central Indiana and are heading quickly to the southeast. Recent AMDAR sounding from SDF shows strong cap still in place over the Ohio Valley. However this cap is expected to weaken over the next few hours, allowing storms to our north to make it into southern Indiana and north central Kentucky this evening. The storms should develop further across Indiana and Ohio late this afternoon and possibly gel into a linear MCS that would dive southeastward. As a result, strong gusty winds will be the main threat with the storms, with large hail in the strongest storms also possible. The best chances for storms will be between 5pm and 11pm from southern Indiana into north central Kentucky, though that timing could change if a bowing squall line forms and brings convection south more quickly. The storms should weaken and be shunted more to the east as they attempt to cross Kentucky and run into more persistent capping associated with an upper ridge centered over the lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf states. Behind the evening storms, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the night as we remain slightly unstable and a cold front approaches from the northwest, reaching the Ohio River around dawn. Any overnight activity is not expected to be severe. Thursday the cold front will drop from the Ohio River to just north of the Tennessee border. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms will likely pop over southern Kentucky as a result. A few storms could reach severe limits with gusty winds and perhaps some hail. Any storms in the south Thursday afternoon will dissipate quickly with sunset, leaving us with quiet conditions for the rest of Thursday night. .LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)... Issued at 300 PM EDT Wed May 21 2014 The 12 UTC models are in reasonable agreement thru the forecast period showing a rather meridional 500 mb pattern with a trough over the northeast U.S., ridge in the Plains states, and trough over the western states. This pattern is forecast to shift slowly east during the period. There are, however, evolutionary differences that show up with the western trough/upper low as it heads east into the Plains next week, which has an effect on precipitation chances by mid next week over the Ohio Valley. At the start of the period on Friday, the surface front should be over TN, which will bring in cooler and less humid air courtesy of surface high pressure to our north. Dry weather is expected with highs in the mid 70s over the Bluegrass to around 80 in west and southwest sections of central KY. The high pressure center will keep fair weather entrenched over south-central IN and central KY for much of the Memorial Day weekend. Saturday will be dry with continued relatively low humidity values with afternoon highs in the upper 70s east to lower 80s west after morning lows in the 50s in most locations. On Sunday, the 500 mb ridge axis over the nation's midsection will slowly push east causing the surface high to move to our east. As a result, warmer and gradually more humid air will begin to move in Sunday afternoon and especially Monday (Memorial Day). Models hint that a little more moisture could try to move through the ridge into the lower Ohio Valley Sunday afternoon/evening, but will maintain a dry forecast at this time. Highs Sunday will be in the 80s, while temperatures Monday afternoon should peak in the upper 80s in many areas and perhaps touch 90 in some spots as humidity levels rise as well. It will be a very summerlike holiday. After Monday, the trough/upper low to our west shows more discrepancy in the models, particularly in the 12z GFS. The GFS again tries to drop the low from the central Plains to the lower Mississippi Valley as it swings another strong shortwave south out of Canada into the eastern Great Lakes. This model scenario has been fluctuating the last few runs. On the other hand, the 12z runs of the Canadian GEM and ECMWF are more consistent with themselves and each other, keeping the low moving slowly east as it becomes cut off from the main flow aloft farther north. This scenario is favored and would result in an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms over our western forecast area by Tuesday afternoon, with better rainfall coverage potentially Wednesday and Thursday (especially afternoons and evenings) when the upper low should be just to our west with a persistent moist southerly flow ahead of it (assuming a correct ECMWF solution). Going with this scenario implies slightly cooler high temperatures by the middle of next week due to more clouds and rainfall. Nevertheless, it will remain rather humid during this time frame. && .AVIATION (00Z TAF Update)... Updated at 705 PM EDT Wed May 21 2014 Main issue is timing of thunderstorms in SDF and LEX this evening. Line of storms over southern Indiana is making slow but steady southeastward progress, aided by limited development on the outflow. Best chance for storms in both SDF and LEX will be from 01-04Z, and upstream obs suggest that 40 kt gusts are likely. Brief IFR visibilities are expected in the rain cores from these storms. Main source of uncertainty is the potential for development along the outflow, and will account for this by initializing VCTS. Storms should clear out after midnight, but that is where it turns to a low-confidence forecast. Surface front will hang up somewhere over Kentucky, and a weak disturbance will likely ride along the west-to-east oriented boundary. High-resolution models are trending farther south and west with this boundary, which would keep any renewed precip out of SDF and LEX. BWG would seem to have a better chance, but probabilities there are still too low to include precip in the TAF. Lighter WNW winds expected on Thursday, with just enough Cu to generate a barely-VFR ceiling. Can't rule out a stray storm at BWG but do not expect enough of a restriction to go prevailing with it. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && Mesoscale......
