The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Apr 12, 12:51 AM EST, 59 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 151 AM EDT TUE APR 12 2011 ...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)... WILL GO AHEAD AND END THE WATCH WITH THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE AS STRATIFORM RAINS HAVE BASICALLY STABILIZED MOST OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. A SFC LOW LOCATED OVER NE ARKANSAS/WESTERN TN WILL MOVE EAST ALONG THE KY/TN BORDER THIS EVENING BETWEEN ABOUT 21Z TO 1Z. WITH IT A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA AS WELL. WINDS WILL BE BRIEFLY GUSTY TO AROUND 40 MPH THIS EVENING AS THESE FEATURES TRAVERSE THE REGION. THIS WAVE...A GOOD LLJ...AND PLENTY OF LL MOISTURE WILL ENHANCE RAINS AND CAUSE EMBEDDED THUNDER THROUGHOUT THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. AN EMBEDDED STRONG CELL WITH GUSTY WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAIN IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE/LL SEE A GOOD SOAKING RAIN WHICH MAY CAUSE RISES ON STREAMS AND CREEKS AS WELL AS PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS. IF ANY LINE OF EMBEDDED T-STORMS GETS ESTABLISHED THIS EVENING...WE COULD SEE SOME MINOR FLOODING ISSUES ON THE ROADWAYS. RAINS SHOULD DECREASE IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE AFTER 0Z. RAIN SHOWERS WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA OVERNIGHT DUE TO AN UPPER TROUGH PASSING THROUGH. RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD FINALLY CEASE SOME TIME TOMORROW MORNING. AS FOR TEMPS...LOOKS LIKE WE/LL STAY IN THE 60S FOR THE REST OF THE DAY DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 40S AND LOW 50S TONIGHT FOR LOWS. TUESDAY/S HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S. .LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT - MONDAY)... TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT... SHARP HEIGHT RISES ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND TROUGH HEAD OFF TO THE EAST. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION AND KEEP THINGS RELATIVELY DRY FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THIS PERIOD WILL SEE DAILY HIGHS IN THE LOWER 70S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S TO THE LOWER 40S FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AND UPPER MID-UPPER 40S FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BY LATE THURSDAY...THE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO BECOME QUITE UNSETTLED ONCE AGAIN AS A FAIRLY STRONG AND LARGE UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE UPPER PLAINS. BOTH THE 11/12Z GFS AND EURO SHOW QUITE A BIT OF BLOCKING ACROSS EASTERN CANADA TOWARDS THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK RESULTING IN THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CLOSING OFF ACROSS THE PLAINS ON FRIDAY AND THEN SLOWLY MIGRATING TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES BY SATURDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM DEPENDS...STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION AND SPREAD MOISTURE BACK INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. QUALITY AND DEPTH OF MOISTURE IS STILL IN QUESTION...BUT DEWPOINTS WILL LIKELY RETURN BACK INTO THE UPPER 50S/LOWER 60S BY FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. COMBO OF SIGNIFICANT HEIGHT FALLS AND A 120KT CYCLONICALLY CURVED JET MAX ROTATING INTO THE REGION SHOULD RESULT IN WIDESPREAD LIFT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. BEST CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS TO BE FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. AS SFC COLD FRONT SLICES THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN. OVERALL THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS IS STILL IN QUESTION...GIVEN THE QUESTIONABLE QUALITY AND DEPTH OF MOISTURE. SOME CONCERNS STILL ABOUND WITH REGARDS TO INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...DYNAMICAL FORCING GIVEN THE STRONG JET DYNAMICS CERTAINLY COULD OVERCOME MARGINAL MOISTURE/STABILITY ISSUES. OBVIOUSLY A SYSTEM TO WATCH IN THE COMING DAYS. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE MILD WITH TEMPS DROPPING BACK INTO THE LOWER 50S. HIGHS FRIDAY SHOULD WARM BACK INTO THE LOWER-MID 70S BEFORE THE FRONT SWEEPS ON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT LOOK TO DROP INTO THE LOWER 40S IN THE WEST AND MID-UPPER 40S IN THE EAST. SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY... IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD...BOTH THE 11/12Z GFS AND EURO SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO SHOW A DEEP 500 HPA LOW SLOWLY TRANSLATING EASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES STATES DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. BOTH MODELS SHOW THE SYSTEM BECOMING VERTICALLY STACKED BY SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THE SYSTEM PULLING OUT A BIT FASTER THAN PREVIOUS SOLUTIONS SHOWED. SATURDAY STILL LOOKS TO BE A RATHER COOL AND CLOUDY DAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. GIVEN THE NORTHWEST FLOW...SHOWERS WILL LIKELY BE CONTAINED TO OUR BLUEGRASS/NORTHEASTERN REGIONS. FAIRLY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE IN PLACE AS WELL...SO BREEZY CONDITIONS STILL LOOK LIKELY. BY SATURDAY NIGHT...THE SYSTEM WILL START TO MOVE AWAY WITH DRIER AIR WORKING IN FROM THE WEST. SOME RAIN SHOWERS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY EVENING ACROSS THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST SECTIONS...AND MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW THAT SOME LIGHT SNOW MAY MIX IN. HOWEVER...OVERALL BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURE IS A BIT WARMER IN BOTH THE DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE RUNS...SO AM ONLY GOING TO SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE GRIDS FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. SUNDAY SHOULD SEE THE AREA BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS AS A FAST MOVING WAVE WITHIN THE NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY. QUITE A BIT OF SPREAD IN THIS TIME FRAME IN THE ENSEMBLES THUS PLAN ON LEAVING MONDAY DRY AT THIS POINT. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD WILL BE BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS ON SATURDAY WARMING INTO THE UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S WITH LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT COOLING INTO THE MID-UPPER 30S. WE SHOULD SEE MODERATING TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH HIGHS WARMING INTO THE MID-UPPER 50S ON SUNDAY AND INTO THE LOWER 60S BY MONDAY WHILE OVERNIGHT TEMPS COOL INTO THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S. && .AVIATION (06Z TAF ISSUANCE)... STRENGTHENING LOW PRES OVER SE KY WILL MOVE SLOWLY EWD INTO VIRGINIA BY TUE AFTERNOON. TIGHTENING GRADIENT AND WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN GUSTY N/NW WINDS AND IFR CONDITIONS IN RAIN THRU THE NIGHT. RAIN WILL END...WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISH BY/AFTER SUNRISE WITH CLEARING FROM WEST TO EAST THRU THE DAY TUE. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
