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.

What 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 11, 2:32 PM EDT, 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 11, 2:32 PM EDT, 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
232 PM EDT Mon May 11 2015

.SHORT TERM (Now through Tuesday Night)...
Issued at 230 PM EDT Mon May 11 2015

Main focus is near term severe potential across portions of
central/eastern Kentucky into southern Indiana.

Pre-frontal trough already east of I-65 as of 2 pm, which has been
the main show for convective initiation this afternoon. Environment
is characterized by mid 60s dewpoints with temperatures climbing
into the mid 80s. This combined with some weak mid-level height
falls has produced CAPE values of 1000 to 1500 J/kg. Shear isn't too
impressive at this point, the greatest effective shear lies to the
west. Nonetheless, there's enough directional shear to support
organized storms. Severe thunderstorm watch #165 is in effect until
10 PM EDT for portions of the area. Main threat is damaging winds
and large hail.

Hi-res models, NSSL and SPC WRF, capture current activity fairly
well bringing isolated to scattered convective line through the area
by late afternoon or early evening. This is largely due to the
pre-frontal trough. Along the true cold front, cloud debris, cooler
temperatures and slightly lower dewpoints is keeping the environment
in check. Couldn't rule out a few thunderstorms developing, feel the
greatest threat is across central/eastern KY through 6 pm or so.

Once the front passes later this evening, noticeably drier and
cooler conditions will push into the region. Skies will be mostly
clear overnight and plan on lows to fall into the mid 50s to low
60s.

Tuesday is shaping up to be a pleasant yet breezy day as high
pressure begins to push into the area. Winds will be gusty out of
the west, approaching 25 to 30 mph at times during the peak of the
day. Otherwise, plan on highs in the 70s.

.LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)...
Issued at 230 PM EDT Mon May 11 2015

Strong surface high over the Great Lakes, along with weak ridging
aloft, will keep the middle of the week mild and dry, with temps
near or just below climo through Thursday.

Negatively tilted shortwave trof will start to ride up and over the
ridge later in the week to start a parade of disturbances. Gulf
opens up and our moisture will increase in response. Expect multiple
rounds of showers and storms beginning Thursday night and continuing
through the weekend as SW flow deepens. Have backed off of
likely/categorical POPs shown in some of the models, generally
capping chances at 50% due to uncertainties in exact timing. It will
rain this weekend, and it may even rain at some point in just about
every period, but there will be substantial breaks. No organized
severe weather is expected, but can't rule out isolated pulse storms
with gusty winds, or a few heavy rain producers.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Updated at 105 PM EDT Mon May 11 2015

In the near term, pre-frontal trough will have passed through
BWG/SDF by 18z and through LEX by 19z. Convective initiation along
this boundary is isolated and overall coverage of thunderstorms
looks to be low through this afternoon. Nonetheless, environment
supports thunderstorm development so will continue to mention VCTS
through early evening.

Gradient winds out ahead of the front will gust 25 to locally 30 kts
as we mix down fairly well. Plan on the wind shift to occur from
south to south/southwest then eventually southwest by 03z. Ceilings
likely to remain VFR outside of any t-storm.

Forecast Confidence 11/18Z TAF Issuance
====================================
Ceilings:   Moderate
Visibility: High
Winds:      High
T-storm:    Moderate
