The radar
The Nashville radar (KOHX), 145 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 06:50 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 6.8 hours before the alert went out and 153 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.

1258 AM EST Sun Dec 18 2016
...Updated Aviation Discussion...
...Forecast Update...
Issued at 1005 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016
Did a quick update to remove the Tornado Watch from the rest of our
area. Still will have some thunder over the eastern third of the
forecast area over the next few hours. As stated previously, the
main concern is heavy rainfall across southern Indiana and northern
Kentucky. Quite a bit of ponding of water on area roadways. The
typical poor drainage areas may have some issues over the next few
hours. The heavy rainfall will continue to press eastward over the
course of the night.
Shifting gears to the overnight period, low-level cold air continues
to ooze in from the northwest. Freezing line working across Dubois
county and into the Evansville area. Precipitation in this area is
still ongoing and a mix of freezing rain and sleet is expected
across our far NW southern Indiana counties over the next few hours.
This will lead to slick road conditions developing in this area in
the next 1-2 hours. As the low-level cold air pushes south and
east, it will undercut the post frontal precipitation resulting a
wintry mix developing from NW to SE across KY overnight. This
wintry mix combined with surface temperatures falling into the mid-
upper 20s will set the stage for hazardous travel later tonight.
The Winter Weather Advisory continues across the region for late
tonight and early Sunday. We did expand it to include the Lake
Cumberland area for later tonight and Sunday morning. While wintry
precipitation down in that area will develop later, slick road
conditions are expected tomorrow morning which necessitates the
advisory. In general, hazardous road conditions are expected across
much of the region late tonight and early Sunday.
Issued at 907 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016
Have been trimming counties off the Tornado Watch from NW to SE. So
far, have been able to clear about a 1/3 to 1/2 of the
watch...mainly NW of a line from Frankfort down to Albany.
Convective line continues to head east. However, instability is
decreasing as the night wears on.
In the near term, focus has shifted to heavy rainfall across
southern Indiana and portions of far northern KY. Observations and
KY Mesonet obs show 1-2 inches of rainfall has fallen across
southern Indiana and in KY along the Ohio River. Some localized
flooding will be possible in counties along the Ohio River as runoff
continues to increase.
Strong cold advection continues to work in from the northwest. 32
degree line is pushing through Dubois county and upstream reports
show some minor icing already developing in areas back toward the
Wabash River. Conditions across our far NW counties will continue
to deteriorate in the coming hours as temperatures fall below
freezing. Trailing precipitation overriding the cold air will
result in sleet and freezing rain. This wintry mix will move
further southeast across southern Indiana later this evening and
into the overnight hours. Short term high res models continue to
slow down the cold air seeping in from the NW. We do not believe
they are capturing the depth and placement, thus we're not delaying
the arrival into KY at this time. Current thinking is that we'll
see the freezing line approach the I-65 corridor in the 1-2 AM time
frame and then pushing through the rest of the region overnight.
This will result in a transition of precipitation to a wintry mix
along with pavement and other surface areas freezing up. In
general, travel will be going downhill overnight.
Will likely be expanding the Winter Weather Advisory to cover the
remainder of the region in the next update.
Issued at 555 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016
Temperatures have fallen quickly behind the front in southern IN
with HNB already down into the upper 30s. The freezing temperatures
are expected to start to move in around 10-12 EDT. As far as the
severe threat is concerned, the storms along the Ohio River have
come down in intensity over the last hour. However, some gusty winds
will still be possible with them. There is still a concern for
severe weather across south central KY as a shortwave approaches
from the southwest. Will be closely watching the storms coming both
from west central KY as well as ones coming out of central TN ahead
of the front.
.Short Term (Now through Sunday Night)...
Issued at 257 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016
...Severe Weather Chance This Afternoon and Evening...
...Wintry Mix Tonight With Some Slick Spots Forming...
Temperatures have warmed up into the 60s across the region this
afternoon with dewpoints in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Warm and
humid air will continue to advect into the region this afternoon. In
addition, we are seeing some breaks in the clouds which is aiding in
destabilization. A line of storms has already developed along the
Ohio River. Winds aloft remain very strong this afternoon and 0-1
shear is in the 40 knot range with SRH around 200 m2/s2. Some severe
storms will certainly be possible this afternoon in this
environment. Damaging winds will be the main threat but an isolated
tornado cannot be completely ruled out. The severe storm threat
should diminish as we go into the evening hours.
Rain will continue late this evening and we should see some
enhancement as a shortwave rides northeast in the flow aloft. The
cold front approaching from the northwest will begin to enter into
southern IN by around 23Z. It should be along the Ohio River by 01-
02Z, along a Bowling Green to Frankfort line by 05-06Z and through
east central KY by 09-10Z. Temperatures will begin to fall rapidly
behind the front. The warm nose aloft will mean that rain will
initially transition to freezing rain as the surface cold air spills
in. As the column becomes colder, some sleet and possibly a bit of
snow will mix in. One concern for tonight will be the possibility of
a flash freeze as there will be a lot of moisture on the roads and
temperatures will drop quickly. In addition to this, we could see
some ice accumulation up to around a tenth of an inch on elevated
surfaces. Some very slight snow or sleet accumulations are not out
of the question either, but are not the main concern.
Will keep the Winter Weather Advisory as is for now. The transition
across far east central KY to the wintry mix will come as the
precipitation is moving out. Some very light accumulations will be
possible in the Lake Cumberland region, but think the impact there
will be minimal, so have opted not to extend the Winter Weather
Advisory at this time. In addition, confidence in impacts is lower
along a Madison to Nicholas county line, but do not want to drop the
headline.
The precipitation will move out quickly by mid morning Sunday. High
temperatures will be mainly in the 20s Sunday so any slick spots
that develop will be slow to improve. Temperatures will drop
drastically on Sunday night. Lows will range from the single digits
in southern IN to the upper teens in east central Ky. Wind chill
values will range from around 10 to near or just below zero.
.Long Term (Monday through Saturday)...
Issued at 257 PM EST Sat Dec 17 2016
High pressure will build in for the beginning of the long term. A
slow warming trend will begin with high temperatures back in the 40s
by mid week. Expect dry weather through Wednesday. Another system
could bring a chance of rain showers Wednesday night to
Thursday.There could possibly be a brief wintry mix with this as
well. Looks like east central KY would have the best chance for
precipitation then, but it does not look like a significant system
at this time. Thereafter, we should see dry weather again for the
end of the week.
&&
.Aviation (06Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 1250 AM EST Sat Dec 17 2016
Thunderstorms and heavy rain continue to push through central
Kentucky along and just behind an arctic cold front that has now
passed through all TAF sites. The bulk of the precipitation will
end before temperatures fall below freezing, but there will be some
light ZR and IP possible for 2-3 hours before the precip ends
completely. IFR cigs will persist at both LEX and BWG until after
sunrise. SDF has managed to only go FEW-SCT below 010, but are
surrounded by BKN-OVC at 007-008, so am hesitant to raise them until
after precip shield is well east.
Low MVFR cigs should linger past 18Z when some improvement expected.
Northwest winds behind the front will gust to 20-25kts before
dropping off around 15-17Z.
