The radar
The Louisville radar (KLVX), 54 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 04:44 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 4.7 hours before the alert went out and 168 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 20, 11:02 PM CDT, 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1202 AM EDT Tue Jul 21 2015
...Forecast Update...
Issued at 1200 AM EDT Tue Jul 21 2015
Complex of storms coming in from southeast PAH's area has quite a
bit of lightning with it. Line is transitioning east fairly rapidly,
and right on the edge of the outflow, so have a warning out for that
line. That line is moving into an area that received rain earlier,
so it should become more elevated in nature overtime. Will have to
watch for training though in this region.
Have additional lines of storms, one near Louisville and southeast,
another nearing Madison, IN, and a last one over central Indiana.
The latter is decaying and it looks like the focus will be more on
the storms over KY the next few hours.
Updated pops in the gridded forecast to account for current radar
trends and matched obs for the rest of the forecast.
Issued at 825 PM EDT Mon Jul 20 2015
Made some minor tweaks to precip chances and hourly temps/dewpts
overnight. Overall though the forecast was in good shape. The
current line of convection stretching from central IN to southern MO
is progged to push eastward through our area between roughly 9pm to
4am. A few cells have popped up in the Bluegrass region also. With
decent CAPE/DCAPE values over the region and around 30 kts of bulk
shear, storms will pose a damaging wind threat initially. Storms
are beginning to become more clustered in nature to our west with an
increasing risk for training cells and flash flooding. The best
spots for svr convection look to be over south central KY and the
Bluegrass where the best bubbles of instability exist. However,
instability will be waning as we go through the evening hours. Of
greater concern overnight may be the flash flood threat as slow
moving storm clusters move through the area.
.SHORT TERM (Now through Tuesday Night)...
Issued at 315 PM EDT Mon Jul 20 2015
Plenty of debris cloudiness overhead as a result of convection that
affected western Kentucky early this morning. Within the last hour
we have seen storms develop where the old outflow boundary is
interacting with the Cumberland Escarpment, but these storms are
already pushing onto the Plateau as we speak. Main challenge is
timing and impact of the round, or rounds of storms that could
affect mainly central Kentucky through tonight.
Even the hi-res models seem to really be struggling from one run to
the next, so this is quite a low-confidence forecast. A couple of
weak swirls were apparent in visible imagery over southern Illinois
and western Kentucky, but even this juicy environment is not
responding yet. Earlier HRRR runs have seemed to be the only models
with any handle on initial conditions, and have hinted that one
round of convection could come through in the hours just before
sunset, with others keying on the actual front which would arrive
around midnight. Less confident in the SPC slight risk as progged
DCAPE is well out of sync with current analysis, and the effective
source of lift remains unclear. Best chance is from roughly 22Z to
05Z Tue, but not likely to affect that entire time period.
Even with the low-confidence forecast, any storms that do develop
could be prolific rain producers due to high precipitable water and
storm motion parallel to a nearly stationary boundary. Flash Flood
Guidance is quite low especially across the Bluegrass, where 1-hr
FFG is 1.5 inches or less in many places. Therefore will continue
with the Flash Flood Watch until Tuesday morning, but no extension
is planned unless convective trends show themselves more clearly.
Whatever organized storms we see should clear the area around
midnight or not too long after. Wind shift arrives by mid-morning,
but we'll hang on to high dewpoints and chance POPs through the day
as fropa seems to occur in pieces. Mid-level WNW winds picking up to
around 30 kt could support a few strong storms with gusty winds over
east-central KY, but organized SVR potential is farther north and
east as our precip chances will be diminishing as the afternoon
progresses. Chance POPs in the middle of the day will be dropping
off by mid/late afternoon, with only south central KY in a slight
chance for storms for Tue night. Drier air will be filtering in,
with dewpoints dropping into the lower/mid 60s and temps dropping to
the upper 60s/near 70.
.LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)...
Issued at 300 PM EDT Mon Jul 20 2015
The synoptic pattern at the start of the long term period will
feature generally northwest flow across the Ohio Valley, as ridging
over the south-central CONUS remains in place. This ridging will
actually build NNE into the region by this weekend, bringing a
return to the hot and humid conditions.
A weak frontal boundary will have pushed into TN at the start of the
long term period. There is some discrepancy in the guidance as to
how far south this boundary will get, which will be the deciding
factor as to whether or not southern KY ends up dry. For now, will
continue with slight chance pops across southern KY Wednesday into
Thursday as impulses riding along this boundary may be enough to
bring precip into the region, but suspect most will end up dry.
Given the majority of the region will be on the northern side of the
front, temperatures and humidity values will be rather comfortable.
Look for highs in the low to mid 80s with dewpoints in the low to
mid 60s, perhaps pushing into the upper 60s over southern KY.
Heading into Friday and through the upcoming weekend, upper-level
ridging will build back into the Ohio Valley which will bring
increasing heat and humidity. The region will still be on the
periphery of the mid-level westerlies/northwesterlies, so cannot
completely rule out thunderstorm chances this weekend. It appears
the best chance for a disturbance to impact the region may come
Saturday night into Sunday, but confidence in that scenario is quite
low and does not warrant any higher mention than just slight chance
to chance POPs (20-30%). Otherwise, it will be hot and humid as
upper-level ridging builds in and 850mb temps rise back to near
20C. Look for highs back in the upper 80s and lower 90s with heat
indices from 95-100 degrees at times.
&&
.AVIATION (00Z TAF Update)...
Updated 720 PM EDT Mon Jul 20 2015
The main TAF updates with this package are delaying the timing of
t-storms this evening and adding an MVFR group for tomorrow
morning. A broken line of convection was firing to our west from
central IN to southern MO as of 23Z. Expect this line to continue
to move east through the evening hours. The latest SPC HRRR has a
good handle on the line so used that model for timing. This should
put the best t-storm chances at SDF/BWG between 2-7Z and at LEX
between 4-9Z respectively. Since it is a broken line and
strength/coverage of storms is expected to wane a bit by late
evening, still went with VCTS at all TAF sites. Will need to amend
with predominant t-storms and reduced flight conditions if the
storms hold together.
After the convection moves through tonight, we should see a period
of MVFR flight conditions before a sfc front moves through between
13-15Z. The front will shift winds from WSW to NW. After the front
passes, low clouds should scour out and lift.
Late in the day tomorrow a second sfc boundary will approach the
region bringing isolated convection. Will include a VCSH to account
for this late in the TAF period. This front will shift winds from
NW to N at the end of the TAF period or just beyond.
