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 flash flood 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, 7.8 hours before the alert went out and 181 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.

Skew-T log-p

Temperature in red, dew point in green, the mixed-layer parcel dashed.

NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 9, 1:58 AM CDT, 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 1:58 AM CDT, 47 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
158 AM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 157 AM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD DROP BACK INTO THE AREA AND STALL WITH
CONVECTIVE CHANCES CONTINUING TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT. FRIDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...CONVECTIVE CHANCES SHOULD START TO SHIFT
NORTH AND EAST AS UPPER HEIGHTS RISE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A WARM
FRONT EVENTUALLY MOVING NORTHEAST OF OUR CWFA. WILL KEEP SATURDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT DRY FOR NOW. SOME QUESTION ABOUT THIS
ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHEAST COUNTIES (EVV TRI-STATE). CANNOT RULE OUT
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WITH ANY ACTIVITY GIVEN PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES REMAIN NEAR 2 INCHES PER MODEL OUTPUT. MANY AREAS SIMPLY
CANNOT HANDLE MUCH IN THE WAY OF WATER AT THIS POINT. NO HEADLINES
THOUGH DUE TO LOWER CONFIDENCE IN PLACEMENT AND COVERAGE VS. WHAT
WE HAVE SEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 157 AM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

RETROGRADING UPPER HIGH WILL END UP OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS/ROCKIES WITH RETURN NW FLOW EXPECTED EAST OF THE PLAINS
INTO AN EVENTUAL EAST U.S. TROF. THE UNSETTLED FLOW PATTERN WILL
YIELD ON AND OFF CHANCES OF CONVECTION. MODELS ARE HAVING
CONSIDERABLE RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO BEST
CONVECTIVE CHANCES...AREAL COVERAGE. WILL REMAIN CONSERVATIVE
WITH POPS FOR THE TIME BEING GIVEN UNCERTAINTY. A FRONT SHOULD
PUSH THROUGH SOMETIME IN THE TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME. WHEN
THIS SIGNAL BECOMES MORE CLEAR...WE MAY BE ABLE TO RAISE POPS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THIS FEATURE. PERSISTENCE FORECAST USED FOR
TEMPS. LEANED MORE TOWARD THE EC/ECENS FOR MODEL PREFERENCE
ESPECIALLY GIVEN A BIT BETTER CONTINUITY WITH RESPECT TO MOISTURE
AND RESULTANT QPF PROGS (OFF THE OPS MODELS FROM THE PAST 3 DAYS).

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED AT 1254 AM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

WITH A BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY...MAINTAINED MENTION OF SHOWERS
AND TEMPO THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT AT ALL FORECAST
TERMINALS. BY LATE NIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING HOURS...A TREND
TOWARDS MVFR CEILINGS IS ANTICIPATED. AT THIS POINT...WE BELIEVE
THE MVFR CEILINGS WILL BE SLOW TO LIFT UNTIL AFTERNOON...WHICH
WOULD PUT A DAMPER ON ANY DIURNAL STORM DEVELOPMENT. IF MORE
SUNSHINE MATERIALIZES...WE MAY NEED TO ADD A MENTION OF AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS IN LATER FORECASTS. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL SWING
AROUND TO THE WEST AROUND 10 KNOTS BY MORNING.
