What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this freeze 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 freeze warning went out at Apr 21, 2:35 AM CDT, 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 2:35 AM CDT, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
335 AM EDT Wed Apr 21 2021

.Short Term...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 327 AM EDT Wed Apr 22 2021

Radar this morning was showing the heavy to moderate band of snow
working through the Bluegrass down in around the Lake Cumberland
regions. With some lighter lingering snow showers stretching back to
around Louisville down to Bowling Green. This area will continue to
push eastward this morning and push out of the CWA around day break.
The rest of the day will be very chilly and blustery highs in the
upper 40s to near 50 and winds out of the NW between 10-15 mph and
gust approaching 20 mph this afternoon. With daytime heating, lapse
rates will steepen and allow for some scattered convection to
develop across the CWA, from southern Indiana southeast through the
Bluegrass down into east-central Kentucky. Precipitation with any
showers should remain mostly rain, however some graupel and a few
rumbles of thunder within more robust convection can't be ruled out
given the lapse rates.

Any precipitation activity comes to an end this evening as winds
diminish and clouds thin out overnight. This will lead to another
cold morning for late April as temperatures drop into the upper 20s
and low 30s for most of our CWA with the exception of our far
southwestern counties. Will upgrade the Freeze Watch to a Freeze
Warning for most of the CWA with the exception of Ohio, Butler,
Warren, Logan and Simpson Counties which will be under a Frost
Advisory in conjunction with our surrounding neighbors.

&&

.Long Term...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 334 AM EDT Wed Apr 21 2021

A weak surface trough will swing through the upper Ohio Valley on
Thursday. Moisture is lacking and models are not in great agreement,
but after talking with neighbors will go ahead with just some
isolated showers in the Blue Grass.

We'll have one more chilly night Thursday night with lows ranging
from the mid 30s west of I-65 to the lower 30s east. Some locations
along and east of I-75 will probably dip just below freezing
briefly, but overall it looks more like a Frost Advisory level event
at this time. West of there clouds and temperatures should prevent
widespread frost formation.

A center of low pressure over the Texas Panhandle Friday evening
will move to the Tennessee/Ohio Valleys by midday Saturday on its
way to the Jersey Shore by Sunday morning. The Gulf will be open for
business, supplying plenty of moisture to the passing system. As a
result, widespread rain is expected, especially on Saturday. Any
significant instability will stay well to our south, with severe
storms possible along the Gulf Coast.

We then dry out and warm up for the remainder of the forecast
period. By Tuesday we may be up into the 80s.

&&

.Aviation...(06Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 150 AM EDT Wed Apr 21 2021

IMPACTS: IFR/LIFR for the first part of the forecast as band of snow
moves across many TAF sites. Improving to MVFR then VFR later this
morning and afternoon with breezy NW winds between 10-15Kts.

DISCUSSION: As of writing this we are seeing IFR to LIFR from
HNB/BWG/SDF due to low visibility from snow and low CIG as a band of
precipitation moves moves through central KY. Radar shows that the
backside of the main precip and heaviest snow should clear SDF/BWG
between 07/08Z with improving VIS. By about 10z we should start to
see CIG lift into the MVFR range as the bulk of the precipitation
moves off to the east and then return to VFR condition by around or
shortly after daybreak. With colder air in place during the day
today scattered afternoon showers are possible into the early
evening but not anticipating major issues from these.

Winds through the period look to be out of the northwest around
10Kts during the bulk of the forecast period with decreasing winds
after sunset.

CONFIDENCE: High confidence on all elements the rest of the
overnight into the morning and afternoon.
