The radar

The Louisville radar (KLVX), 80 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:48 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 12:00Z, 8.8 hours before the alert went out and 156 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.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
322 PM EDT WED APR 27 2016

.SHORT TERM (Now through Thursday Night)...
Issued at 312 PM EDT Wed Apr 27 2016

As an upper low moves between Omaha and Des Moines tonight and a
speed max rounds its base, scattered showers and storms are expected
to develop INVOF the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
late this afternoon/early this evening. This convection should then
head northeast up the Ohio Valley. Scattered storms will also be
possible over the rest of central Kentucky in the warm and unstable
sector south of a warm front stretched out along Interstate 64.
There has been a lot of rain already today, limiting surface-based
instability along and either side of the warm front. The warm front
is not expected to move much other than perhaps a slight northward
drift. This would bring more unstable air slightly northward despite
earlier rains. In short, it will be an evening of monitoring radar
and satellite trends to see exactly where new convection sets up to
our west/southwest and moves into the area. WBZ heights around 10k
feet support hail as the main threat. If the surface remains
relatively stable the wind threat may be slightly lessened...but
will have to see how the warm front behaves and how much of a break
we can get between afternoon convection overhead and incoming
convection from the west this evening.

There has been torrential rain over a narrow band between
Elizabethtown and Mammoth Cave this afternoon, resulting in some
minor hydro issues in that area. Additional water problems will be
possible this evening under the heaviest rainers, especially in
urban centers.

Tomorrow the upper low will weaken and advance into the Great Lakes.
By afternoon lapse rates and cu rule support sct/bkn cu development.
PWATs look quite low and atmospheric cross-section show very little
available moisture. Can't rule out pop-up afternoon showers, though,
especially from southern Indiana to the Kentucky Blue Grass.

Thursday night high pressure will nose in from the northwest and
give us a pleasant night with temperatures dropping into the lower
and middle 50s.

.LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)...
Issued at 322 PM EDT Wed Apr 27 2016

High pressure to our north will give us a very nice day on Friday
with partly cloudy skies and temperatures peaking in the 70s.

We then enter into what should be a very wet weekend. Low pressure
will lazily move from the Red River Valley Saturday morning to the
mid-Atlantic coast by Sunday evening. The Gulf will be wide open and
models are progging a healthy low level jet bringing moisture
northward. Widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms will be
the result. One to three inches of rain over the course of the
entire weekend isn't out of the question.

Things should then dry out for the first part of the new work week
before the next system begins to approach by mid-week.

High temperatures throughout the long term will be in the 70s,
although some locations may not make it out of the 60s in southern
Indiana on Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Updated at 137 PM EDT Wed Apr 27 2016

A challenging forecast cycle as the TAF sites deal with several
rounds of showers and thunderstorms through late this evening. SDF
and LEX are currently being impacted by showers and storms lifting
over a warm front. This boundary will only very slowly lift north
through the afternoon, which may help to keep the MVFR ceilings in
place at times. Additionally, visibilities will drop into IFR/low
MVFR in the heavier showers and storms.

Best chances for a lull in storm activity at SDF will be mid
afternoon to early evening. Then another round of storms is expected
between sunset and Midnight. Some gusty winds along with heavy
rainfall and CG lightning are expected. Some trailing stratiform
rain may follow into the pre-dawn hours along with ceilings dropping
below fuel alteranate toward dawn. Cold front approaches Thursday
morning with gustsy WSW winds, but dry.

Expecting LEX/BWG to see showers and storms most of the afternoon
with a brief break around and just after sunset. Then, another round
of showers and storms just before Midnight. LEX will then follow the
same pattern as SDF with trailing stratiform rain and ceilings
dropping into low IFR through the pre-dawn hours.
