What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jun 23, 8:38 PM CDT	TSTM WND DMG	4 Wnw Subtle, KY	SEVERAL TREES DOWN IN THE AREA.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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.

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 Jun 23, 6:03 PM CDT, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 6:03 PM CDT, 2 hours 4 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
703 PM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

...Aviation Forecast Discussion Updated...

...Mesoscale Forecast Update...
Issued at 626 PM EDT Thu Jun 23 2016

Strong to severe convection continues to push east-southeast across
north-Central and east-central Kentucky this evening.  Strongest
storms are now south of metro Louisville and will affect areas such
as Bardstown, Harrodsburg, Danville, Richmond, and Lancaster.
Torrential rainfall, wind gusts in excess of 55 MPH, and small hail
will be possible with this activity as it pushes SE.  1-1.5 inches
of rainfall will also be possible with this activity.

Cold pool outflow boundary is pushing SW across Hardin and Meade
counties.  This outflow will intersect and most likely enhance east-
west oriented convection that is rapidly developing across
Breckinridge and Grayson counties.  Very strong storms are currently
moving through the Rough River Lake area and these storms will
affect the Nolin River Lake area in eastern Grayson county within
the next hour.

In general, convection is likely to remain north of the
Cumberland/Nunn Parkway through the next couple of hours.  Main
forecast question is whether a significant cold pool will develop
and allow storms to push more southward with time.  Atmosphere out
ahead of all this activity remains virtually untapped and unstable.
So convection strength should be maintained for the next several
hours.

.SHORT TERM (Now through Friday Night)...
Issued at 351 PM EDT Thu Jun 23 2016

...ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED THIS EVENING...

Early afternoon satellite imagery reveals partly to mostly sunny
skies across the region.  Convection along a frontal boundary has
rapidly developed over the last hour or so.  The atmosphere is
highly unstable this afternoon with CAPE readings in the 3-4K J/Kg
range and LI's dipping down into the -8 to -10 deg C range.  We
still do have a slight cap, although very weak at this point, across
much of north-central KY as evidenced by AMDAR soundings out of
KSDF.  As we continue to heat up over the next few hours, we'll
remove that cap/inversion and continued upscale growth of convection
along the boundary will continue.

Overall kinematic and thermodynamic profiles across the western
2/3rds of our region are suggestive of severe weather with damaging
winds and large hail being the primary threats.  High PWATs of
greater than 2 inches combined with the instability will also allow
these storms to load up on precip leading to the possibility of
damaging downbursts.  In areas along and east of I-65 and along and
north of I-64, bulk shear values increase a bit as one heads north
and east.  Model proximity soundings in these areas show a bit more
of directional shear.  Thus, a threat of an isolated tornado or two
can not be ruled out.

Coordination calls with SPC have yielded two watch boxes in our
area.  The first is a Tornado Watch that is in effect for our far
eastern Bluegrass counties.  This is an area characterized by an
unstable atmosphere and higher values of speed and directional
shear.  Further west a Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for
the remainder of the CWA.  Primary hazards out in this area are
damaging winds, large hail, and torrential rainfall.  However, an
isolated tornado can not be ruled out given that we do have some
weaker shear in the area.  Torrential rainfall will be possible with
the storms as PWAT values are over 2 inches.  The progressive nature
of the storms look to limit the flash flood threat.  However, areas
that receive repeated rainfall episodes could see some localized
flooding.

In terms of sensible weather, line of storms across southern Indiana
will continue to develop and drop southward into KY late this
afternoon and evening.  They will likely impact the Louisville metro
area over the next 60-90 minutes and then into the Lexington metro
area between 500-700 PM eastern time.  We expect the storms to drop
east-southeast through the evening.  Should we get a cold pool to
develop, then these storms will translate south and east at a faster
rate.  The storms should make it into southern KY by mid-late
evening before weakening.  Temperatures this afternoon will remain in
the lower 90s and then cool into the upper 70s to the lower 80s
after the storms pass.  Some temperature recovery may occur after
the storms, but overnight temps are expected to bottom out in the
upper 60s to the lower 70s.

Drier and more tranquil weather are expected for Friday and Friday
night.  Highs Friday should warm into the upper 80s with overnight
lows in the mid-upper 60s.

.LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
Issued at 325 PM EDT Thu Jun 23 2016

An upper level ridge will try and build into the region over the
weekend.  However, the ridge will not last all that long as a strong
mid-level trough axis will swing across the northern US and knock
the ridge back down to our south and southwest.   This trough axis
will likely amplify and carve out a deeper eastern US trough while
shifting the core of the upper level ridge back to the west.  In
this case, the Ohio Valley will remain in a northwesterly flow
pattern aloft and will have to be vigilant of perturbations that
ride down through the flow aloft which could bring multiple rounds
of convection to the region by mid to late week.

In terms of sensible weather, mainly dry conditions are expected
Saturday and Saturday night.  We'll see a chance of storms Sunday
and into Monday as a cold front crosses the region.  A brief break
of dry weather is likely for Tuesday and Wednesday before the first
of several mid-level perturbations move toward the region. We should
note that these perturbations are very difficult to predict, even in
short range modeling, so confidence out toward the end of the period
is pretty close to climatology at this point.

The extended will start off warm with highs in the upper 80s to the
lower 90s for Saturday and Sunday.  Overnight lows will range from
the upper 60s to the lower 70s.  Temperatures will come down a bit
for Monday and Tuesday with highs mainly in the mid-upper 80s. Lower
to middle 80s will be the rule for Wednesday and Thursday. Overnight
lows in the lower to middle 60s are expected for Wed/Thur mornings.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 701 PM EDT Thu Jun 23 2016

Main complex of storms has dropped south of SDF/LEX and threat there
is largely over for the evening. A second line of isolated showers
may brush the TAF sites between 00-02z but chances of organized
storms are low. At BWG, bulk of remaining storms will slide
east/southeast of the area but will remain in the vicinity.

For tonight, low-level moisture and recent rainfall at SDF/LEX may
bring a period of fog and/or stratus between 09-13z overnight. Some
of this may occur at BWG as well. Winds are expected to lighten up
overnight. Hi-res models are showing best fog chances to be
across southern Indiana and northern Kentucky around SDF.

Beyond that, expect VFR conditions at all TAF sites with generally
northwest winds 8 to 10 kts.
