The radar
The Ft Campbell radar (KHPX), 88 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 17:47 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
138 PM EDT MON JUL 4 2016
...Updated Aviation Discussion...
...Forecast Update...
Issued at 1040 AM EDT Mon Jul 4 2016
Parade of MCVs is shaping up with one paralleling I-70 from east-
central Illinois into west-central Indiana, and another swirl
evident over the Missouri Bootheel. Precip shield associated with
the lead disturbance currently affecting southern Indiana and
central Kentucky, with the strongest convection paralleling the Ohio
River from Clark County in Indiana down to Ohio County. This precip
is moving into areas that got some of the heavier rains last night,
so will watch closely for potential flooding problems. We seem to be
getting by with Flood Advisories as these rains affected some areas
of southern Indiana this morning.
That being said, with this precip moving through, and another wave
likely to generate additional precip this afternoon, we will likely
need a quick trigger on potential Flash Flood Warnings.
Yesterday's rains have knocked 1-hr Flash Flood Guidance to 1.5
inches or less in many spots, and that won't be hard to reach in
some of the stronger storms today. Will freshen up the Flash Flood
Watch but otherwise leave it as is. Extent of the ongoing precip will
limit our ability to destabilize, so severe potential is not looking
as great this afternoon. However given the very moist environment,
precip loading will be enough to generate locally damaging winds in
areas that get even the most marginal instability.
.SHORT TERM (Now through Tuesday)...
Issued at 300 AM EDT Mon Jul 4 2016
...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH TORRENTIAL RAINFALL EXPECTED
TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT...
...FLASH FLOOD WATCH EXPANDED TO COVER ENTIRE WFO LMK FORECAST AREA
AND EXTENDED IN TIME UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING...
East-west oriented line of convection continues to train across
southern Kentucky this morning. The storms have been rather
progressive in their movement to the east, but light to moderate
rainfall will continue across our far southern KY counties along the
KY/TN border for the next several hours. Further north, convection
has been rather sparse as the area it is in an area of subsidence in
the wake of the perturbation that moved through last evening. This
lull in precipitation will be short lived as additional convection
associated with the low-level jet pushes into western KY this
morning and will start to affect our western counties in the next
few hours. Temperatures remain rather mild this morning with most
locations in the lower 70s. A few upper 60s were noted over our far
northern Bluegrass counties.
For today and tonight, decaying quasi-stationary frontal boundary
draped across the region is expected to further weaken while
shifting to the north. This will effectively put the region solidly
in the warm sector. Broad low-level moisture characterized by low-
mid 70 dewpoints will be well established across the region. Model
proximity soundings show large warm cloud depths and perceptible
water values well over 2 inches across the area. The model guidance
suggests that another weakening/sheared out mid-level perturbation
will move across the region today sparking another round of
convection with torrential rainfall. Convection should intensify
throughout the day as diabatic heating increases...especially across
southern KY where a lesser amount of cloudiness may be found this
afternoon.
Overall environmental shear profiles are not as strong as what we
saw on Sunday. However, 40-45kts of of mid-high level flow within
the progressive scheme will sustained updrafts with any convection
that develops. Convective scheme looks to be multi-cellular
clusters...probably several in number moving across the region.
Given the overall moist profiles, the storms will likely become
precipitation loaded and as convective cores collapse will produce
scattered damaging wind gusts. Convection will likely diminish in
intensity late tonight as the boundary layer stabilizes and the mid-
level perturbations head on off to the east.
QPF amounts will be rather impressive again today as storms will
have adequate moisture to work with. Widespread amounts of 2-3
inches with locally higher amounts will be possible across the
region. For this reason, the Flash Flood Watch has been expanded to
cover the entire forecast area and has been extended in time through
the overnight period tonight. For more details, see the hydrology
section below.
Temperatures today will feature another gradient with upper 70s to
the lower 80s in the north with mid-upper 80s across the south. The
gradient may not be all that uniform however as pockets of clearing
may develop. Within those pockets, strong insolation could allow
temps to rise into the upper 80s to the lower 90s. Overnight lows
tonight will remain mild with lows in the 70s.
For Tuesday, mid-level heights will attempt to rise a bit across the
region as mid-level ridge to the south attempts to expand to the
north. Latest round of model data suggests that iso-sct storms will
be possible...but mainly focused across southern KY. High will be
tempered by clouds but highs should warm into the mid-upper 80s.
.LONG TERM (Tuesday Night through Sunday)...
Issued at 306 AM EDT Mon Jul 4 2016
In the long term, the synoptic pattern across NOAM is forecast to
remain quite zonal across the mid-latitudes with a more amplified
pattern across the higher latitudes across Canada. Mid-level ridge
across the southern latitude will attempt to raise heights across
the region through the period. However, the progressive westerly
flow aloft will likely keep the ridge from building too far
northward this week. Instead, we're likely to remain on the
northern edge of the mid-level ridge and several perturbations
within the flow will likely impact the region in the mid-late week
time frame. Temporal timing in this time period with these
perturbations will remain rather poor as the models will struggle
with the individual disturbances moving within the flow. As it
stands now, it appears that higher chances of precipitation look in
the offing for Thursday and into Friday.
The flow pattern looks to become more amplified by late week as
significant troughing looks to develop across the western CONUS and
a corresponding ridge develops in the nation's mid-section. This
will allow heights to fall across the eastern CONUS and another
frontal boundary will head for the region as we get toward the
weekend. This will further result in more convective chances as the
boundary sags through the region. Main forecast challenge here is
whether the boundary clears the region or hangs up once again. Given
the pattern over the last few weeks and taking into account global
teleconnection patterns, it is more likely that the pattern will de-
amplify again with additional perturbations rolling through the
region by late in the weekend and into next week. The net result
here is that while temperatures will be seasonal, precipitation is
likely to average above normal through the period.
Daily highs will warm into the upper 80s to near 90, with overnight
lows in the lower 70s. Dewpoints through the week will remain
elevated and that could push daily afternoon heat indices near 100
at times.
&&
.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 138 PM EDT Mon Jul 4 2016
Rounds of showers and storms will continue to affect the TAF sites
through this afternoon and at least early evening as a steady plume
of moisture rides up the Ohio Valley from the SW. Precipitation is
focusing along a stalled frontal boundary, so repeated and
occasionally intense rainfall is expected. VIS could drop into the 1
to 2 mile range for brief periods in any T-storm, along with wind
gusts in the 40-50 mph range. Have included the best expected timing
for storms at each terminal, with lulls in between.
Precipitation coverage/intensity should diminish this evening, with
lower ceilings and some visibility restrictions possible. Will be
optimistic with cig/vis recovery by mid morning on Tuesday, however
low clouds may linger into the early afternoon if they become well
established overnight.
