DMWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jul 20, 9:17 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 20, 9:17 PM CDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Louisville KY 1017 PM EDT Wed Jul 20 2022 .Mesoscale Update... Issued at 1017 PM EDT Wed Jul 20 2022 Convection has strengthen a bit more over the last hour across portions of south-central KY. Two cluster of storms are being monitored across south-central KY. The first is across portions of Marion, Taylor, Boyle and northern Casey counties. Convection is within an instability maximum with MLCAPE values in the 3500-4000 J/kg range. While instability is quite robust, vertical wind shear remains generally weak in this area. However, we'll be on guard for this convection to take on more bowing like structures as they become more outflow dominated. Additionally, a localized flood threat is possible in this corridor as well as storms are training from west-east. A Flood Advisory has been posted, but a warning may be required if continued training occurs. Further south across Monroe and Cumberland counties, a cluster of strong storms with heavy rainfall and lightning will continue to push eastward. Some additional convection has continued to persist out across the Pennyrile region of western KY. This activity will push off to the east-southeast over the next few hours producing some gusty winds, intense lightning, and heavy rainfall. Issued at 907 PM EDT Wed Jul 20 2022 Convection that developed over southwestern IN struggled as it moved east toward our CWA. It appears that very marginal mid-level lapse rates prevented these storms from gaining too much strength. This convection has diminished in coverage with only a remnant shower/storm that will move through southern Perry, IN and northern Breckinridge counties. Some additional convection has developed over southern IN which will affect portions of Clark IN and perhaps portions of Oldham county over the next hour. Second batch of convection has developed along an instability axis from Bowling Green northeast through the Lexington Metro area. This convection is currently sub-severe. The latest models suggest that convection may grow more upscale over the next 1-2 hours across our southeast sections. Overall severe threat looks to be low here due to the lack of vertical wind shear, though instability remains quite high across the region. With this convection, we expect wind gusts of 40-45 mph and possibly some marble to dime sized hail with the strongest cores that go up. Lastly, will also do a quick update to the zones to drop the Heat Advisory and Excessive Heat Headlines that expired at 900 PM EDT. Issued at 655 PM EDT Wed Jul 20 2022 After a bit of delay due to some capping near 850 hPa, convection has developed ahead of the approaching cold front along a pre- frontal confluence. Activity is developing within a very unstable atmosphere where MLCAPE values are in the 3500-4500 J/kg range. Objective analysis has around 25-30kts of shear, though regional VWP's suggest more of 30-35kts which is sufficient for organized convection. Based on environmental parameters and high resolution guidance, convection looks to remain generally multi-cellular in nature with a threat of storms becoming more outflow dominant with time. So a transition from multi-cellular to bowing segments is likely. Main uncertainty here remains overall coverage. As of this writing, the highest risk of strong/severe weather will remain west of the I-65 corridor for the next 1-2 hours. Should overall coverage increase, and there is some evidence of that already, a SVR box could be issued for portions of the LMK CWA over the next hour. && .Short Term...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 323 PM EDT Wed Jul 20 2022 As a low pressure system in the middle of the Great Lakes continues its eastern trek, its trailing cold front approaches the Lower Ohio Valley this evening. This is expected to generate a line of showers and storms. At first a few cells are expected to fire across southern Indiana around 23z. The line will continue to the southeast as it fills in and becomes a mostly solid line of convection across the rest of central Kentucky. Severe weather chances will come to an end around 01z. Earlier concerns of low level rotation with the system have dissipated as low level SRH remain marginal. Plenty of instability remains with MLCAPE values around 3,500 J/kg. Low level lapse rates are steep with DCAPE values in the 1,500 J/kg range, so gusty winds are the the main threat. However,some of the latest CAMs have increased a low level inversion just off the surface. If this materializes, this will lower the wind threat. Mid-level lapse rates are unimpressive, limiting any hail to the lower end. Our Lake Cumberland region is under a Slight risk for Excessive Rainfall this evening due to expected heavy rainfall rates. Widespread flooding isn't expected, but dew to 1-2" per hour rates and some of the lower Flash Flood Guidance (1.5-1.75 in an hour)in the area the Slight was placed over the area. Dew points have been overachieving in our southwestern counties, resulting in heat indices nearing Excessive Heat Warning levels, so a warning will be forthcoming for the affected area. Tomorrow, behind the front, temperatures will be limited to the upper 80s to low 90s, and dew points will remain in the 60s for most with a few 70s possible in southern Kentucky. Skies will be clear and sunny. .Long Term...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 330 PM EDT Wed Jul 20 2022 Synopsis...The first half of the medium range 500-mb pattern will feature an eastward- expanding ridge, which along with the quasi stationary Southwest dome of high pressure, will allow positive height anomalies to pervade from the Great Basin to the central Plains and the Southeast. On the other hand, deep closed low over Canada will maintain below-normal height anomalies on the northern third of the CONUS as low-amplitude shortwave troughs travel from the Pacific Northwest through the northern Plains to later round the base of the low in the Great Lakes vicinity. The above scenario will account for a mostly zonal upper jet oriented across the northern Plains into the Great Lakes and a vorticity maxima/frontal waves corridor positioned roughly on the upper Ohio Valley. Model Predictability...Overall, there is good model agreement on the large scale pattern throughout the weekend with subtle differences appearing by next week regarding the intensity and location of the Canadian closed low, per WPC cluster phase diagram, which will be considered typical given the lead time. On the mesoscale level, the Canadian 20/00Z run had low rain chances for the Friday night- Saturday morning period in southern Indiana and northern Kentucky versus a dry forecast from the GFS and ECMWF. However, the new 20/12Z run has pushed the rain farther north and clear the area. Moreover, area-wide Sunday high temperatures populated on the high end as they compare to the 90th percentile of the forecast MaxT distribution and slightly above the 75th percentile of the NBM. It is important to mention that the 20/12Z ECWMF came as the upper extreme outlier. Therefore, decided to go with the new WPC guidance for this parameter. Friday...Weakening cold front will transit trough the area, but no weather will be associated with it, aside from a NW wind shift and upper-level clouds, as dry air remains anchored in the mid to low levels with a shallow inversion later around 950 mb. Highs will stay well above-normal (low to mid 90s) with dewpoints dropping below 70 after the weak frontal passage, so the heat index will not make it to the triple digits. Saturday - Sunday...The previously-mentioned weak cold front will stall roughly along southern Kentucky/northern Tennessee and then lifting back up to the upper Ohio Valley during Saturday. This will allow a higher theta-e airmass to advance northward and eventually host possible heat advisory headlines both on Saturday and Sunday. So far, hotter temperatures are expected on Saturday as southerly wind WAA and solar heating will be maximized under mostly sunny conditions. The adjustments made to Sunday high temps (see section above) and the intrusion of high clouds from the west-northwest will probably limit heating in the afternoon, but there is still possibility to achieve heat indexes above 100 degrees. Next Week...A baroclinic frontal boundary will be oscillating at/near the lower Ohio Valley which will ram up the rain and storm chances. There is indication that several vort maxes will be riding this boundary, so the possibility of a low-end severe weather risk cannot be ruled out, either. Meanwhile, forecast highs range from the upper 80s in southern Indiana to the low 90s in far south- central Kentucky as the CWA sits in the warm sector with dewpoints into the low 70s. However, this might vary as convection potentially develops following the diurnal cycle. && .Aviation...(00Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 700 PM EDT Wed Jul 20 2022 IMPACTS: -Gusty SW gradient winds subsiding this evening -Scattered evening storms DISCUSSION: After a bit of delay due to 850 hPa capping, convection has fired just northwest of KHNB within the last hour. We expect this convection to continue to move southeastward this evening and mainly affect KHNB initially. Overall convective coverage is uncertain this evening but will plan on putting in a period of VCTS at KBWG/KSDF/KLEX to account for storms ahead of the front. Most of the activity should diminish after 21/06Z with skies clearing and winds shifting to the NW. CONFIDENCE: Medium on all elements. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...None.
