The radar
The Louisville radar (KLVX), 142 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:25 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
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
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 9.4 hours before the alert went out and 192 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.

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 Aug 5, 4:30 PM EDT, 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 4:30 PM EDT, 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 430 PM EDT WED AUG 5 2015 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 300 PM EDT WED AUG 5 2015 STRAIGHT FORWARD FORECAST. MID AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL TRANSIT THE REGION DURING THE SHORT TERM. AMPLE MOISTURE...A RELATIVELY SLOW MOVING SFC SYSTEM...THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING AND OTHER FAVORABLE HYDRO PARAMETERS INDICATE THAT HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE A CONCERN TONIGHT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY EVENING. FIRST ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST AS COMPLEX OF STORMS PASS THROUGH CENTRAL KY. CONVECTION HAS FIRED OVER THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU AS WELL AND HAS BEEN SHOWING VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT. SUBSTANTIAL HEATING CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE OUR BOUNDARY LAYER...BUT WITH A LACK OF SHEAR EXPECT SEVERE POTENTIAL TO BE LIMITED THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. JUST THE SAME COULD NOT RULE OUT A FEW STRONG STORMS AND MAYBE AN ISOLD SEVERE STORM OR TWO LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING... SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS FEW DAYS. HYDRO WILL BECOME AN INCREASING CONCERN AS PWATS CLIMB TONIGHT AND STORM MOTION BEGINS TO SLACKEN...PARTICULARLY THURSDAY. PWATS CLIMB TO NEAR 2 INCHES...STORM MOTION DROPS BELOW 10 KTS AND FREEZING LEVELS HOVER AROUND 13K FT. TRAINING OF ANY STORM CELLS WOULD ONLY ADD INSULT TO INJURY. .LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 430 PM EDT WED AUG 5 2015 THE MODELS ARE IN BROAD AGREEMENT ALOFT THROUGH THE EXTENDED AS AN ACTIVE PATTERN CONTINUES OVER THE OHIO VALLEY ON THE NORTHEAST FRINGE OF A STRONG SOUTHERN PLAINS RIDGE. THE NEXT IN A TRAIN OF SHORT WAVES WILL BRUSH BY EASTERN KENTUCKY TO THE NORTHEAST LATER FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING AS THE RIDGE BUILDS SLIGHTLY INTO THE AREA. THE NEXT WAVE WILL TRACK MORE SOLIDLY THROUGH OUR AREA INTO SUNDAY MORNING WITH YET ANOTHER FOLLOWING A SIMILAR COURSE THAT NIGHT. THESE WAVES WILL WORK TO BEAT DOWN THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE LARGER RIDGE BY THE START OF THE WEEK. AN EVEN STRONGER WAVE APPROACHES MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT HEIGHT FALLS. THE ECMWF IS STRONGER WITH THIS TROUGH WHEN COMPARED TO THE GFS. THIS AMPLIFICATION CONTINUES THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY STILL STRONGEST IN THE ECMWF. HAVE FAVORED A GENERAL MODEL BLEND THROUGH THE BULK OF THE PERIOD WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF FOR THE START OF THE NEW WORK WEEK. SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE THE EXIT OF A SYNOPTIC LOW OFF TO THE EAST WITH SOME LINGERING CONVECTION IN SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. A WARM...HUMID...AND MOSTLY DRY WEEKEND FOLLOWS WITH ONLY A SMALL CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM LIKELY HOLDING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST BUT BETTER CHANCES WILL ARRIVE FROM THE WEST ON SUNDAY CURLING AROUND THE RETREATING MID LEVEL RIDGE. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS THEN CAN BE EXPECTED TO OVERTAKE THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS THE APPROACHING STRONG TROUGH INDUCES A SFC LOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS LOW MOVES OUT BY WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH SOMEWHAT COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS TO FOLLOW. THE CR GRID BLEND CAME IN REASONABLY WELL WITH THE BULK OF ANY ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE POPS AND SKY GRIDS TO REFLECT THE DIURNAL CYCLE AND ALSO TO LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF FOR NEXT WEEK. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...DID ADJUST THE LOWS A BIT EACH NIGHT TO CAPTURE SOME MINOR TO MODERATE TERRAIN EFFECTS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 127 PM EDT WED AUG 5 2015 MORNING FOG AND LOW STRATUS HAS FINALLY DISSIPATED. COMPLEX OF STORMS CROSSING CENTRAL KY AND ACTIVITY DRIFTING NORTHWARD FROM THE TN VALLEY WILL BRING THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS BACK INTO THE FORECAST DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON TIME FRAME... AFFECTING OUR SOUTHWESTERN MOST TERMINALS FIRST...THEN SPREADING NORTHEAST. INCREASED COVERAGE WILL BEGIN LATER TONIGHT AS A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. LOOK FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF RAIN AND MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA AS A STORM SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH THE REGION LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. EXPECT MAINLY LIGHT WINDS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...BUT BECOMING MORE SOUTHWESTERLY THURSDAY. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
