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 Jun 30, 6:40 PM EDT, 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 6:40 PM EDT, 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
640 PM EDT Tue Jun 30 2015

...Forecast Update...
Issued at 639 PM EDT Tue Jun 30 2015

Convective line that moved out of southern Indiana is slowly
progressing east-southeast through northern KY this evening.  The
storms are located roughly from Salem, IN to near Paris, KY...or
along and just north of the I-64 corridor.  Storms have been pulsing
up and down producing torrential rainfall some gusty winds and
mainly pea-marble sized hail (based on social media pictures).

Severe threat is still there...limited to gusty winds and maybe an
isolated large hail report or two.  However, current thinking is
that flash flooding and local hydrologic issues will be the main
threat with this line.  Dual-pol radar analysis suggests
instantaneous rainfall amounts of 3-4 in/hr are falling.  It has
been as high as 6 in/hr in some of the stronger storms.  Taking into
account the storms movement we've generally been seeing about 1-2
inches of rainfall with these storms.  However, this area has seen
recent heavy rainfall and 2 inches of rain will likely lead to some
flooding issues.  A number of flood advisories are in effect along
and north of I-64.  We will continue to monitor the storms and
additional flash flood warnings may be required if storms repeatedly
hit the same areas.

The storms will enter the Lexington Metro area within the hour.  The
heavy rainfall there may result some typical urban hydrologic issues
over the next hour.

Interesting to note on the visible satellite imagery the amount of
mid-high level smoke coming into the region from the Canadian
wildfires.  Current convection seems to be along the northern
boundary of this smoke with little in the way of convection (or even
cumulus) down across western KY.

Issued at 535 PM EDT Tue Jun 30 2015

Southern Indiana convective line is becoming a bit stronger this
afternoon as it interacts with a modestly unstable atmosphere to its
south.  Primary threats with this line would be large hail (around 1
inch in diameter) and gusty winds in excess of 60 MPH.  Per
coordination with the SPC, have did an areal expansion of WW 371 and
put much of the Bluegrass region (including Lexington Metro) into
the watch until 800 PM EDT.

Latest high resolution data suggests this line will sink east
southeast this evening producing some severe weather...probably
isolated to scattered reports.  The training of the cells over the
same area will also lead to hydrologic issues.  Our northeastern
third of the forecast area has seen quite a bit of rainfall over the
last few days.  Therefore, around 2 inches of rainfall or more over
a short period of time will likely result in some flash flooding.

Updated suite of forecast products to include the severe
thunderstorm watch have been sent.

.SHORT TERM (Now through Wednesday Night)...
Issued at 325 PM EDT Tue Jun 30 2015

The synoptic pattern early this afternoon features northwesterly
flow aloft across the Ohio Valley, courtesy of an upstream ridge
across the western CONUS.  Compact PV anomalies continue to dive
through this flow, bringing chances for showers/storms to the region
through the short term period.

The forecast is unfolding mainly as expected this afternoon.  The
first concentrated round of storms affected mainly southern KY,
which was tied to a compact vort max sliding through the flow
aloft.  That has now pushed east, so expect any development behind
this activity to remain rather isolated given the lack of a focus.
Further to the north, convection has blossomed along a boundary
associated with a MCV passing through northern Ohio.  While some of
this activity may brush the far northern Bluegrass, it seems the
best cold pool surge is taking place just to the north of Harrison
County, KY.  0-3km shear vectors oriented largely west to east
support outflow outrunning the southward sagging convection, which
is what we are seeing across southwest Ohio and southern IN.

The main challenge this evening will be what happens to the
northwest.  The latest hi-res guidance continues to suggest
convection will develop across eastern IL and western IN, which will
quickly slide southeast into the Ohio Valley this evening.  Latest
observations show very little in the way of surface convergence with
perhaps a subtle boundary in the area.  Therefore, am not highly
confident in widespread convective development in this region which
will slide into the LMK CWA this evening.  Therefore, will cap pops
in the 40-50 percent range until storms begin to develop and congeal
(if they ever do).  If these storms do get going, they could develop
a cold pool and slide ESE into the region, bringing a marginal hail
threat and an isolated damaging wind threat, but given the late
timing, have doubts on how robust any convection will become.

Otherwise, convection will dissipate tonight with the loss of
daytime heating.  May once again see some fog development, but high
clouds moving in from the west (and the lingering smoke plume from
Canada), may help to limit the density.

A MCS will likely develop overnight and push into western KY on
Wednesday.  Timing has slowed with this system, thus have adjusted
pops accordingly.  Many hi-res models suggest we could see some
thunderstorm development on the cold pool/differential heating
boundary of this system Wednesday afternoon.  Am not overly high on
a severe threat given that mid/high cloud cover will likely be
pretty copious limiting instability.  Therefore, agree with SPC's
marginal risk.

On Wednesday night, another MCS is likely to develop across eastern
MO and IL, which will push into the Ohio Valley overnight.  The
latest guidance is pretty impressive with rainfall amounts, thus
will be upping QPF amounts.  Flash flood guidance is the highest
across the southwestern CWA, which is where the heaviest rainfall is
expected to fall.  That being said, 2 to locally 3 inches will be
possible across portions of southern KY, which may lead to some
hydro issues.  If guidance trends continue, a flash flood watch
could be needed.

.LONG TERM (Thursday through Tuesday)...
Issued at 315 PM EDT Tue Jun 30 2015

Not much change in the extended range with the last several runs of
model data.  The upper level flow across the CONUS is expected to
remain rather amplified with a trough in the eastern US and a ridge
out across the west.  The Ohio Valley will be situated in a
northwest flow regime which will keep the overall weather pattern
rather stormy and wet pattern for the remainder of the week.  The
wet pattern will be driven by a number of mid-level vorticies maxima
that will be pushing through in the mean flow aloft.  The timing of
these features will be key as to when we'll see periods of storms
and heavy rainfall.  Two emerging signals are becoming apparent
within the guidance.  First, guidance suggests that the upper trough
may shift a bit more southward over the weekend.  This would result
in the quasi-stationary boundary setting up across southern
KY/northern TN.  Thus, weekend rains may be more contained across
southern KY than across our northern areas.  Second, a continuing
emerging signal that some mid-level ridging will attempt to work in
from the west/southwest by the late weekend and into early next
week.  However, this would simply push the quasi-stationary boundary
more north and stall it across our region, proving yet another
environment for more stormy weather.

In terms of sensible weather, partly to mostly cloudy skies will be
seen throughout the period.  Chances are, that we'll probably see
less cloudiness in the mornings with more cloudiness in the
afternoon.  Rounds of showers and storms will be possible throughout
the period with the passage of mid-level vorticity maxima coming
through.  The first of these look to push through very early in the
period (Wed Night/Thursday).  Second wave looks to push through
Friday night and Saturday.  However, the further south shift of the
aforementioned frontal boundary may result in the heavy rains/storms
being more concentrated down across the TN Valley.  More diurnally
driven convection will likely occur Sunday through Tuesday.
Greatest concentration will be across the south late in the weekend
with the concentration pulling northward early next week.

Temperatures will remain below seasonal normals throughout the
period due to expected cloud cover and associated precipitation.
Generally, highs will likely run in the lower to middle 80s with
overnight lows in the upper 60s to around 70.  A moderation of
temperatures looks likely late in the weekend and into early next
week as the boundary pushes back to the north.  Mid-upper 80s may
envelope the region by then.

Rainfall amounts over the next seven days will be fairly
impressive.  Depending on where the boundary actually sets up, an
axis of heavy QPF will be possible.  Our current forecast keeps the
heaviest axis of QPF across our west and southwest.  Widespread 2-4
inches rainfall amounts look likely across our region, with locally
higher amounts possible across the south/southwest sections.

.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 118 PM EDT Tue Jun 30 2015

Thunderstorms will continue to develop this afternoon in a couple of
different areas.  As it stands now, KLEX and KSDF have the best
chance of seeing thunderstorm activity push in from the north later
this afternoon into early this evening.  There stands a bit less of
a chance at KBWG where storms have fired and already pushed to the
east.  In any storm that affects a site, winds will be gusty along
with brief vsby reductions into the IFR range.

Otherwise, convection will come to an end tonight.  There will once
again be a chance of some light fog at KBWG and/or KLEX, but some
incoming clouds from the west may help to limit the fog threat.
Will introduce MVFR vsbys for now.  Otherwise, renewed chances for
showers and storms look to arrive toward the end of the valid TAF
period as yet another system pushes in from the west.
