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 May 11, 7:21 PM CDT, 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 11, 7:21 PM CDT, 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Louisville KY 821 PM EDT WED MAY 11 2016 ...Forecast Update... Issued at 815 PM EDT Wed May 11 2016 Severe Tstm Watch #169 in effect til 03z for Dubois, Orange, Washington, Perry, Crawford, and Harrison counties in Indiana. Severe Tstm Watch #171 in effect til 05z from Scott County Indiana south thru Louisville and Bullitt County then west to Hancock, Ohio, and Butler counties in Kentucky. The convective line continues moving east across south-central Indiana and into north-central Kentucky at this time. Wind gust reports so far have been primarily in the 40 to around 50 mph range, with a few trees down in Dubois County. Locally higher winds are possible in narrow channels within the cold pool behind the leading gust front. Meanwhile, the isolated storm in southern Oldham County produced up to quarter size hail. We will continue to monitor and provide additional updates this evening. Issued at 510 PM EDT Wed May 11 2016 Complex of storms moving east out of the STL area, and additional storms lighting up on a boundary very close to the I-64 corridor across southern Illinois. These storms will ride eastward along the boundary and into south-central Indiana by early evening. SPC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in Indiana, but the box will remain north and west of the Louisville Metro for now. Outstanding questions that will govern where and how long the convection continues include instability, which is limited east of I- 65 by lower dewpoints, and how far northward the effective boundary will move before storms reach us. Will keep close tabs on this, but it is looking more like the southward extent into Kentucky could be limited. Still need to remain weather aware into this evening! .SHORT TERM (Now through Thursday Night)... Issued at 315 PM EDT Wed May 11 2016 ...A Complex of Strong/Severe Storms Possible This Evening... The synoptic pattern late this afternoon features weak shortwave ridging over the Ohio Valley, downstream of an upper-level trough pushing into the Northern Plains. This trough will push through the Ohio Valley through the period, ushering in a couple chances for showers and thunderstorms. We continue to watch convection off to the west of the region. It has recently become better organized near the Saint Louis area, with a strong cold pool noted on radar. This suggests the convection will begin to accelerate quicker to the east along the I-64 corridor this evening. Currently along the I-64 corridor there exists a remnant boundary, now lifting north as an effective warm front. To the south of this, the airmass has become strongly unstable with MLCAPEs in excess of 3,000 J/kg in places. DCAPEs in excess of 1,000 J/kg should continue to lead to efficient cold pool production. 0-3km shear vectors around 20-30 knots oriented orthogonal to the convection should help keep it loosely tied to its cold pool, at least through the next several hours. We could see convection develop along the lifting warm front this afternoon, but this will be fighting ridging aloft and a lack of synoptic forcing so do not think it will become very organized. The main severe threat looks to come with the MCS early this evening. Main forecast challenge will be exactly where this MCS tracks and how strong it will be when it arrives. Main limiting factors will be weakening 0-3km flow with eastern extent. Additionally, we will just be past peak heating once the convection arrives. However, still think there is a severe threat along the I-64 corridor in southern IN and into central KY, with damaging winds and possibly some marginally severe hail being the main threats. Forecast confidence decreases substantially tonight as guidance is in vast disagreement. As the trough begins to eject towards the region, isentropic lift on the nose of a 30-knot low-level jet should feed into any remnant boundaries. The big question will be what boundaries there will be and where they will be located. For this reason, will hold off on a Flash Flood Watch for now, but it will be strongly considered through the evening and early overnight hours once trends become more apparent. The deep layer flow could favor training storms along NW-SE boundaries, similar to what we saw in southern KY this morning. On Thursday, the upper-level trough will slide into the Great Lakes region. This will help drive a surface cold front through the region. Another conditional threat of severe weather exists Thursday afternoon/evening as this front pushes through. Guidance is generally suggestive that we will see enough breaks in the morning convection to destabilize ahead of the front in the afternoon, especially along and east of I-65. The better kinematics will lag the frontal ascent, but if we do realize the instability suggested by some of the guidance, we could see some some strong to locally severe multicell clusters capable of locally damaging winds and hail. We will dial this threat in more overnight once we see how convection progresses and the prospects for some morning sunshine and resultant destabilization. Convection will push to the east Thursday night, with cooler and drier air finally filtering into the region. Overnight lows will dip into the low and mid 50s. .LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)... Issued at 325 PM EDT Wed May 11 2016 The synoptic pattern at the start of the long term period will feature a mean trough across the northern CONUS. This trough will amplify through this weekend bringing northwesterly upper-level flow, but will once again turn back to the southwest by early next week. Will keep the discussion short in the long term period given the active short term period. A strong PV anomaly will dive through the region on Friday night into early Saturday, bringing a line of showers. Moisture is lacking with this system so do not expect much QPF, which is certainly good news given the heavy rainfall as of late. This front will usher in much cooler air as the trough aloft amplifies. Highs Saturday and Sunday won't make it out of the low/mid 60s, perhaps even the upper 50s in some of the cooler spots! Will have to keep an eye on Sunday morning, as surface ridging passing overhead could make for very chilly temperatures. Some areas could dip into the upper 30s! We will return to a warmer and more active pattern early next week as the flow transitions to more southwesterly once again. Will see an increase in precipitation chances late Sunday through at least Wednesday of next week. && .AVIATION (00Z TAF Update)... Issued at 645 PM EDT Wed May 11 2016 Main challenge in this TAF set is the impact of storms crossing the Wabash Valley. Southward extent will be limited, at least initially, by the northward progression of a residual boundary from last night's storms. Confidence in hi-res model data is not high, but it suggests that storms could make it into SDF around 01-02Z. Will carry a TEMPO for MVFR ceiling and vis, and thunderstorm gusts to 35 kt. After midnight, confidence diminishes further as that depends heavily on the evolution of the complex of storms, and potential re-development behind. Most favorable scenario to get storms into BWG is if a strong cold pool develops and is able to push the line southward. Will carry VCTS after 06Z for that possibility, as well as any re-development. LEX is more tricky, as it depends on the initial boundary not lifting north of there. Will also carry VCTS there after 04Z. Could have some restrictions to vis around daybreak with residual low- level moisture, but will depend on additional rainfall, so will have to revisit anything worse than MVFR in the next issuance. Thu afternoon prefrontal convection will depend on how long overnight storms keep going, but confidence is high enough at this point to include VCTS and CB after 17-18Z. && .LMK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
