The radar
The Louisville radar (KLVX), 72 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 19:27 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 12:00Z, 7.5 hours before the alert went out and 144 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.

RASWhat 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 Apr 8, 2:13 PM CDT, 15 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 2:13 PM CDT, 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
313 PM EDT Wed Apr 8 2015
.SHORT TERM (Now through Thursday Night)...
Issued at 308 PM EDT Wed Apr 8 2015
...More Strong Storms Possible This Evening and Tomorrow...
Multiple boundaries have set up across the region this afternoon.
SPC mesoanalysis shows all the CIN from earlier in the day has
eroded and we have become moderately unstable with 2500-3500 J/kg CAPE.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for southern Indiana for
this afternoon and early evening. However, given the multiple
boundaries and possibility for strong storms elsewhere around the
forecast area, extensions to the Watch are not out of the question
this afternoon. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main
threats this afternoon, though a tornado or two cannot be ruled out
completely. The other concern for tonight will be the possibility of
training thunderstorms, particularly across southern IN and north
central KY. The latest runs of the HRRR have been suggesting this.
Given that flash flood values are under an inch an hour and storms
may train in this area, have gone ahead and issued a Flash Flood
Watch starting late this afternoon and continuing through tomorrow
night.
There should be a relative lull in the storms for much of the
overnight period as any storms that develop this afternoon will move
out late this evening. Think another complex associated with a weak
upper level wave will move in early tomorrow morning and continue
through the morning hours. Some small hail and gusty winds will be
possible with these storms.
There should be at least a short break in storm coverage tomorrow
afternoon ahead of the more significant chance for severe weather
along and ahead of the cold front tomorrow night. Moisture will pool
ahead of the front with strong southerly winds through the afternoon
tomorrow. Forcing will come from the upper level trough moving in
and an upper level jet. Shear will increase and hodographs exhibit
favorable clockwise curving tomorrow night. A broken line of showers
and thunderstorms looks to develop to our west congeal into a line
as it moves into the forecast area tomorrow evening. Damaging winds
will be the the main threat with the squall line, with a few
embedded tornadoes possible. If any cells do develop ahead of the
main line hail could be a threat as well.
Due to the repeated areas of convection moving across the region,
have kept the Flash Flood Watch in place through tomorrow night.
Repeated rains will only exacerbate or renew flooding problems.
.LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)...
Issued at 241 PM EDT Wed Apr 8 2015
Not much has changed in the thinking for the long term period. Due
to the ongoing storms an updated discussion will not be issued this
afternoon. The previous discussion is below.
Previous discussion
-------------------
Cold front should pass through the area during the pre-dawn hours
Friday in our west then sweep across the rest of central Kentucky
during the early morning hours. Westerly flow will bring in a drier
and quieter pattern Friday night.
Plan on a pleasant, sunny and seasonable Saturday with high pressure
over the lower Ohio Valley. Sunday will start off in similar fashion
but as the high quickly moves to the east, southerly return flow
will begin to push another slug of warm, moist air to the region.
Shower chances return Sunday night through Monday as a trough digs
across the central Plains. High-end chance to likely POPs look
reasonable early next week with near normal temperatures.
&&
.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Updated at 1248 PM EDT Wed Apr 8 2015
Scattered thunderstorms are still expected to develop this
afternoon, though have pushed back the timing of VCTS in the TAFs
for a couple of hours. There is still a lot of uncertainty in when
and where the storms will develop so have kept the VCTS as opposed
to introducing TSRA at this time. Those with aviation interests
should keep a close eye on the radar this afternoon.
Expect a decrease in coverage of storms this evening with much of
the night remaining dry at the TAF sites. Another complex looks to
move in early tomorrow morning from the west bringing more showers
and thunderstorms. These should move out by early afternoon.
