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.

MJWhat 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 Jul 13, 10:40 PM EDT, 2 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 10:40 PM EDT, 2 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1040 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2015
...Forecast Update...
Issued at 1040 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2015
Completed another update to include Severe Thunderstorm Watch #419
which is valid until 500 AM EDT Tuesday morning. Watching several
clusters of convection upstream from us this evening. First one is
over central/southern IL with a second one near the Indianapolis
area. The current forecast thinking is that one or more lines of
convection will develop later tonight and drop southeastward into
the Ohio Valley. High resolution modeling has been struggling
trying to resolve complex mesoscale issues, with some painting quite
a bit of convection, while others generate far less. For now, we
are still thinking that convection will eventually fill in across
west-central IN and eastern IL later tonight with this activity
dropping southeast into KY late tonight. For this reason, the
severe thunderstorm watch has been issued. Main severe weather
threats overnight will be damaging winds, though large hail and an
isolated tornado are not out of the question. Very heavy, tropical
like rainfall is expected overnight which will lead to a high flash
flood threat given the saturated grounds across the state. Thus,
the Flash Flood Watch will remain intact.
Issued at 813 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2015
Did another quick update to remove Severe Thunderstorm Watch 410
with its expiration at 800 PM EDT. Convection across the Lake
Cumberland region will continue to drop southeastward into
north-central TN in the next hour. Attention then turns to the
northwest where several convective clusters continue to develop.
Latest guidance suggests these will congeal into a large convective
complex over the next several hours and then plow southeastward into
the lower Ohio Valley late tonight. Current forecast and headlines
look good at this time. However, we anticipate additional severe
convective watches to be issued in the coming hours with the
developing complex to the northwest.
Issued at 633 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2015
Did a quick forecast update to clear the Severe Thunderstorm Watch
from our northern counties. Essentially have trimmed the watch from
the NE to the SW, but kept areas generally west and south of the
outflow boundary in the watch. As mentioned in the previous update,
the highest risk for severe weather over the next 1-2 hours will be
over Adair, Cumberland, Clinton, Russell counties. Some additional
backbuilding is being observed as far NW as LaRue county. So that
activity will likely "train" southeast along the boundary and also
produce a flood threat. Radar estimates on precipitation will
likely be hail contaminated to an extent with this supercell.
However, 1-3 inches of rainfall will be likely in a corridor from
roughly Hodgenville to Albany Kentucky.
Issued at 553 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2015
Expansive bow echo continue to push through southeastern KY late
this afternoon. In its wake, a NW-SE oriented outflow boundary
extends from near Elizabethtown to near Russellville. Renewed
convection is forming along this boundary given a relatively good
flow aloft and bulk shear values of over 40kts. A strong CAPE
gradient was noted from northern IL southeastward through central
KY. CAPE values to th east were in the 1500-2000 J/KG range, but
out across west KY, the values were in the 3000-4000 J/KG range.
Additional convective development is expected along this CAPE
boundary over the next few hours. Given the effective shear and
buoyancy, discrete bowing segments and some temporary supercellular
structures seems likely. Damaging winds and very large hail would
be the primary threats...especially across our SE Lake Cumberland
region.
No changes to the headlines at this time, though we probably could
start dropping the northern ends of the watch in the next hour or
so. We'll see a break in the action this evening. However, things
will likely become quite active again as convection developing to
our NW will likely congeal into a large MCS and plow through KY
later tonight. More details on that threat later.
.SHORT TERM (Now through Tuesday Night)...
...Severe Weather and Flash Flood Potential continue...
Difficult forecast in the short term with opportunities for severe
storms and flooding. Severe Thunderstorm Watch #410 remains in
effect until 8 pm EDT for the entire area, but will begin trimming
northern counties behind the ongoing squall line soon and will be
taking a hard look at far west counties as well, as western
development has been slow to materialize.
Short term models are all over the place with next round of storms,
so confidence is not high on the overnight scenario. 12Z run of the
HRRR that handled the current bow echo best also seems to have the
best handle on the overnight precip. This focuses on an existing
boundary running from west central IN to near Louisville where the
most recent development has occurred. If this plays out as planned,a
short wave accompanying a speed max showing up on satellite between
Peoria and the Quad Cities will provide the upper support for storm
development along the aforementioned surface boundary.
The bad news with this scenario is that the axis of precip would
then line up NW-SE. With SE steering winds, this results in
training storms and high potential for excessive rains of several
inches along the axis. Given the divergent model tendencies with
this, however, confidence is low on removing any of the area from
the Flash Flood Watch, so will continue with the entire CWA through
the existing time frame. Antecedent soil conditions make areas east
of I-65 the highest threat, but with mid-upper 70 dewpoints, any
storm is capable of blinding rain and copious rains that could cause
true flash flooding.
Tuesday's weather is so reliant upon where overnight precip occurs
that confidence on details here are again low, other than to say
that storms are again expected, but the strongest should be confined
south and east of this afternoon's main area.
.LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)...
Issued at 201 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2015
This discussion will be kept short as the main focus today is the
ongoing severe weather. The region will remain in northwest flow
aloft on Wednesday. By the end of the week the upper level ridge
will begin to build back in from the southwest. At the surface high
pressure will build in from the north Wednesday and will remain over
the area through Thursday.
Dry weather is expected Wednesday and Thursday under the influence
of the high pressure. Dewpoints will lower back into the mid 60s by
Thursday morning. However, this will be short lived as they will
increase again into the weekend. A couple of waves will ride through
the upper level flow around the periphery of the ridge this weekend.
As usual timing and coverage along with placement is in question
with these storms. The best coverage Friday and Saturday will likely
be across the northeastern portion of the area. Sunday the chances
may spread back to the southwest.
The other concern this weekend will be the heat. Temperatures will
top out in the upper 80s to lower 90s Friday through Sunday. Heat
index values will be in the upper 90s to lower 100s each afternoon.
This could pose an issue to sensitive individuals.
&&
.AVIATION (00Z TAF Update)...
Updated 700 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2015
Complex forecast for tonight as much of it hinges on convective
develop to our northwest this evening and late tonight. Currently
have a complex of storms moving south-central and southeastern KY.
This activity will move southeastward into TN over the next few
hours. So this evening, VFR conditions are expected at the
terminals.
Looking at the short term models, quite a few of them continue to
suggest that convection across northern MO, southern WI, and central
IL will continue grow upscale this evening and congeal into another
MCS. By the looks of the CAPE gradient, this developing MCS looks
to slide southeastward into KY late tonight.
For now, feel that convection will likely hold off until around
14/03-04Z and then affect the terminals between 14/04-08Z. Plan on
carrying a VCTS group after 14/04Z with a tempo group highlighting
the impacts of convection between 14/04-08Z. Most likely will see
temporary drops to IFR as the convection moves through along with
winds of up to 40kts. We plan to monitor things closely this
evening and will likely amend the forecast as needed as convective
trends become more clear.
