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 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 6:03 PM CDT, 2 hours 27 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. && .LMK Watches/Warnings/Advisories... KY...NONE.
