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 flash flood 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

Cncnati-Daytn, OH (KILN), launched 00:00Z, 5.2 hours before the alert went out and 128 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 flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 13, 11:37 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 11:37 PM EDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1137 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1135 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015

HOURLY GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BASED ON RECENT OBSERVATION AND
RADAR TRENDS. AFTER A LULL ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE
TOWARD DAWN. SOME OF THIS COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN AND A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 900 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015

HOURLY GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED FOR THE RELATIVE LULL IN ACTIVITY
EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 5 HOURS OR SO INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL CONVECTION ALREADY ONGOING UPSTREAM FROM IN
NORTH AND NORTHWEST INTO WI SHOULD TRACK TOWARD THE REGION
OVERNIGHT...POSSIBLY CONGEALING INTO AN MCS. THIS SECOND ROUND OF
ACTIVITY COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND A RENEWED THREAT FOR
FLASH FLOODING. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE
TUESDAY EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 417 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015

LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HIGH WINDS WAS PUNCHING SOUTH
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA AT MID AFTERNOON. ON ITS PRESENT
TRAJECTORY...MOST OF THE PRECIP WITH IT IT LIKELY TO EXIT SOUTH
AND SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE JKL FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS EVENING.
AFTER THIS...FORECASTING THE DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION OF FUTURE
CONVECTION BECOMES PROBLEMATIC. MODELS DO SUGGEST ADDITIONAL
ACTIVITY WILL FIRE DURING THE NIGHT AND DROP SOUTH INTO THE
FORECAST AREA...BUT DISAGREE ON THE DETAILS. HAVE TENTATIVELY
USED A LIKELY POP...BUT DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE
EVOLUTION/TIMING. WITH THE ATMOSPHERE WORKED OVER BY
THEN...RAINFALL MAY BE A BIGGER CONCERN THAN SEVERE WX DURING THE
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING CELLS AFTER
THE EVENT THIS AFTERNOON.

THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE SYSTEM WILL PASS BY
TO OUR NE LATE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY EVENING. THE ATMOSPHERE IS
EXPECTED TO BE PRIMED FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AGAIN IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SYSTEM. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER DAY OF
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WX. INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LARGE AGAIN
AND SHEAR SHOULD BE MORE FAVORABLE. AS A RESULT...LARGE HAIL AND
EVEN ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL NEED TO BE CONSIDERED AS MORE
SIGNIFICANT THREATS THAN THEY AREA TODAY.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015

THE EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS WITH A UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING OUT THE
OHIO VALLEY REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL ALLOW HIGH
PRESSURE TO BUILD INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN US THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
MODELS THEN INDICATE THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETROGRADE WEST
TOWARDS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AS A NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH DIGS
SEWD INTO THE OH VALLEY BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...THE
GFS AND ECMWF MODELS DO NOT AGREE WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH NEXT WEEK. THE GFS KEEPS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN US AND THE TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES WHEREAS THE
ECMWF ALLOWS THE HIGH TO RETROGRADE WEST AND THE TROUGH TO DIG INTO
THE OH VALLEY. SO WITH TWO VARYING SOLUTIONS HAVE STAYED CLOSE TO
CR SUPERBLEND SOLUTION FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

AT THE SURFACE...SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT THEN
THINGS SHOULD CLEAR OUT. EXPECT A COUPLE OF DRY DAYS ON THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY WITH LOWER HUMIDITIES. CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS RETURN ON SATURDAY AND ARE MAINLY DIURNALLY
DRIVEN...PEAKING IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS EACH DAY THROUGH
THE END OF THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE
THROUGH THE PERIOD...TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S. HEAT
INDICIES WILL LIKELY REACH THE 95 TO 100 DEGREE RANGE AS DEW POINTS
WILL INCREASE BACK INTO THE LOWER 70S FOR THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 840 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015

LARGELY VFR WITH SOME PATCHY FOG REDUCING CONDITIONS TO MVFR OR
IFR AT TIMES IS ANTICIPATED THROUGH AT LEAST 6Z. ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR LATER IN THE NIGHT...BUT
TIMING IS UNCERTAIN. VCTS AND MVFR SHRA HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE
TAFS BETWEEN ABOUT 6Z AND 13Z AT THE TAF SITES. ANY CONVECTION
COULD BRING VIS AND OR CIGS DOWN TO NEAR AIRPORT MINS BRIEFLY IF A
SITE TAKES A DIRECT HIT. CIGS AND VIS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR BY
15Z...BUT THEN BY 20Z AS THE NEXT WAVE MOVES IN CONDITIONS SHOULD
ONCE AGAIN DETERIORATE. LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH BOTH ROUNDS OF CONVECTION. WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE
LIGHT THROUGH 15Z...AND THEN PICK UP TO 10 TO 15KT RANGE
