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 Apr 10, 3:13 AM CDT, 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 3:13 AM CDT, 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
413 AM EDT Fri Apr 10 2015

.SHORT TERM (Now through Saturday)...
Issued at 405 AM EDT Fri Apr 10 2015

Expanded Tornado Watch #52 eastward in east central KY.  Convection
continues to fire ahead of the cold front and main convective line.
The overall picture is becoming more complicated as the cold front
is surging eastward into convection that is on a slow northeast
track.  These storm and boundary interactions are areas for concern
where brief spin-ups may occur or which may provide a focus for
straight line wind damage.  Will need to monitor closely early this
morning.

The cold front should clear the area shortly after sunrise pushing
convection well east of the area.  Skies will turn mostly sunny for
the afternoon hours with high temps reaching the mid 60s.

Friday night and Saturday will be dry with high pressure in place.
Friday night lows will dip into the upper 30s and lower 40s.  Highs
Saturday will be in the mid to upper 60s under mostly sunny skies.

.LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday)...
Issued at 135 AM EDT Thu Apr 10 2015

A model consensus approach was used for the long term forecast given
near term severe storm threat. Plan on a pleasant, seasonably cool
Saturday night transitioning to a warm and mostly sunny Sunday as
the surface high begins to push off to the east. Southerly flow will
begin to push more Gulf moisture northward into the area Sunday
night. Moisture transport axis largely stays to our west through 06z
Monday so have kept forecast dry until late Sunday night. An upper
level disturbance and surface front looks to push through Monday
bringing a high-end chance of showers/storms. Latest guidance tries
to show this front clearing through the forecast area Monday night
as high pressure builds in from the north. Tuesday into Tuesday
night could end up being dry, especially the north half of the
forecast area. Trimmed back POPs during this time frame.

By mid-week, models generally show upper level ridging aross the
southeast while another strong shortwave trough digs across the
Rockies. However, timing differences are fairly large in these
synoptic features. A warm, moist air mass is looking likely across
the area and while large forcing mechanisms could be to the west,
there's enough support for chance POPs each day. Temperatures next
week look near normal with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s to
low 60s.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAF Update)...
Updated at 1235 AM EDT Fri Apr 10 2015

Still trying to refine the timing of the convective line, which is
just crossing the Wabash Valley as of 04Z. Looks an hour or two
slower than previously advertised, and we'll try to hone in on about
a 2 hr window for storms. Wind gusts have slacked to around 20 kt,
but we'll carry 30-35 kt gusts while we have prevailing TSRA at
BWG/SDF. Visibilities will most likely drop to IFR or even LIFR in
the heaviest precip, but that will be too brief to even warrant a
TEMPO. Will go MVFR on both ceiling and vis, and keep it above
fuel-alternate. As the storms push farther east, there will be a
substantial weakening trend, which limits confidence in LEX.
Therefore will go with VCTS there as the increasingly broken line
works in.

Because the convective line remains broken with no real cold pool or
trailing stratiform precip, will scale back the post-frontal precip
to a few hrs of VCSH during the morning as ceilings lift to VFR.
Modest cold advection surge will keep gusts around 20 kt through
midday. Look for clearing skies and diminishing winds in the
afternoon.
