Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 37 minutes after it went out.

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.

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 Louisville, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Apr 7, 4:51 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 4:51 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
451 PM EDT Tue Apr 7 2015

...Forecast Update...
Issued at 450 PM EDT Tue Apr 7 2015

A bowing segment across southern IN and and far north central KY has
developed a few meso-vortices along the leading edge where an
isolated tornado will be possible. Severe hail and and pockets of
damaging wind will be possible as this feature moves along the I-64
corridor east toward the Louisville Metro. Right now have the line
timed into Louisville sometime between 515 PM EDT and 545 PM EDT.
Will consider extending the Severe Thunderstorm Watch further to the
east if strong convection continues.

.SHORT TERM (Now through Wednesday Night)...
Issued at 315 PM EDT Tue Apr 7 2015

...Strong Storms, Including Heavy Rain and Frequent Lightning this
Evening...

Severe Thunderstorm Watch #28 is in effect for the west central part
of the CWA until 8 PM EDT/7 PM CDT. A cluster of storms stretching
from the lower Wabash River Valley to the Mo Bootheel will slide
into our CWA over the next few hours and into the evening. Given,
1000 to 2500 J/KG of CAPE and marginal deep layer shear, some storm
organization is expected to be maintained into the area. Thermal
profiles would suggest that marginally severe hail and isolated
instances of damaging winds will be possible as DCAPE values are
approaching 1000 J/KG.

Perhaps the bigger concern will be for storms moving over where
heavy rain fell earlier today and the potential for Flash Flooding.
PWATs will approach 2 standard deviations above normal this evening.
This combined with steady moisture transport from the SW could yield
some locally intense rainfall.

Things should quiet down fairly quickly this evening with storms
waning as we lose of diurnal heating. Expect a relative lull,
through the overnight where min Ts will fall into the low and mid
60s.

Another round or two  of convection is expected again on Wednesday
and Wednesday night as we stay on the unstable side of a frontal
boundary and moisture transport continues into the region.
Instability and shear profiles would suggest that strong storms are
possible, however the lack of a focused trigger may limit the severe
threat somewhat. Temperatures are expected to warm into the upper
70s and low 80s.  Lows Wednesday night will again be in th low and
mid 60s.

.LONG TERM (Thursday through Tuesday)...
Issued at 255 PM EDT Tue Apr 7 2015

Main long-term challenge remains T-storm chances, timing, and
impacts Thursday into Friday. Expect deep SW flow on Thursday as a
sharp upper shortwave trof kicks a surface low from the central
Plains into the Great Lakes. Subtle differences in timing
notwithstanding, there is still a decent consensus that the cold
front will push through the Ohio Valley after midnight Thursday
night, exiting the Bluegrass and Lake Cumberland areas Friday
morning.

Thursday will feature high-end chance or low-end likely POPs in a
juicy warm advection regime. Better chances and stronger storms will
accompany the front as it moves through Thursday night. While the
main severe threat still appears to be to our north and west, we
could have decaying strong storms in the evening, with a wind threat
mainly west of Interstate 65. Heavy rain threat will be limited due
to this being a somewhat progressive system, but with over an inch
of QPF in many of the same areas that have seen the heaviest rains,
it won't take much to generate at least nuisance flooding.

Transition day on Friday as the front pushes through. POPs will drop
off dramatically from west to east, with most of the area going dry
by mid-afternoon. Dry and seasonable conditions are expected Friday
night through Sunday as high pressure ridges in from the north.

Moisture ramps up again late Sunday into early next week ahead of
yet another southern stream system. Think that at least a period or
two around Monday may be worthy of low-end likely POPs, but that
will be better refined with later model runs. Temps continue on the
high end of normal, especially by night.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Updated at 120 PM EDT Tue Apr 7 2015

We're in a relative lull with convection with only some storms
hanging around LEX for another hour or two. Warm sector has become
firmly established over the area and should see mostly VFR
conditions as skies partially clear through much of the afternoon.
Expect a steady south wind around 10 mph with a few higher gusts
possible.

Focus is upstream on the next convective complex set to move into
the TAF sites from late afternoon through evening. Best timing at
SDF is expected between 5 and 10 PM EDT where visibilities could
drop into the IFR range in heavier thunderstorms. Stronger wind
gusts and some hail will also be possible with the strongest storms.
LEX/BWG should see weaker convection and a couple hours later than
at SDF. There should be another relative lull overnight where VFR
conditions are expected to prevail. More convection possible
again Wednesday morning. Confidence is low beyond this evening.
