The episode as NWS LMK wrote it up.
A strong outflow boundary from a decaying thunderstorm brought damaging winds to at least two counties in west central Kentucky. No rain accompanied these winds.
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 Jun 27, 11:55 AM CST, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 155 PM EDT MON JUN 27 2011 ...MESOSCALE AND AVIATION UPDATE... ATMOSPHERE OVER CENTRAL KY...ESPECIALLY SOUTH CENTRAL KY...IS RAPIDLY DESTABILIZING THIS AFTERNOON. WITH CAPE VALUES ON THE RISE INTO THE 1500 TO 2500 J/KG AND BULK SHEAR INCREASING AS WELL...OUR ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES TO FAVOR INCREASING INTENSITY OF T-STORMS OVER WESTERN KY/SOUTHWEST INDIANA AS THEY MOVE EAST. WITH DRY MID LEVELS AND A FAVORABLE MID LEVEL WAVE...DAMAGING WINDS LOOK TO BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH THESE STORMS. ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN THE QLCS STRUCTURES WITHIN THE MCS. ALSO OF NOTE IS THE FORWARD PROPAGATING CORFIDI VECTORS WHICH INDICATE THAT THE MCS COULD TAKE A SLIGHT SE TURN AS IT GETS GOING. BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 566 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND PERRY COUNTY IN INDIANA UNTIL 9 PM EDT...8 PM CDT. .SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)... WATCHING TWO CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST TRAVEL SOUTHEAST ALONG ELEVATED INSTABILITY AXIS THIS MORNING. LEAD CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS IS LOSING STRENGTH AS IT TRAVELS MORE EASTWARD OUT OF UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT HOWEVER WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT ON SOUTHWEST FLANK AS IT MOVES INTO WESTERN INDIANA. FOCUS IS SHIFTING TOWARD OUTFLOW DOMINANT/BOWING SEGMENT ACROSS EASTERN MO/WESTERN IL RAPIDLY MOVING SOUTHEAST. TIMING ON THIS FEATURE COULD HAVE IT IN OUR NW CWA AROUND DAWN THIS MORNING WITH A DAMAGING WIND THREAT NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION...DESPITE ELEVATED NATURE. DO EXPECT IT TO WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES HOWEVER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR UPSTREAM DAMAGE REPORTS/OBS. THIS MCS IS GOING TO PLAY A LARGE ROLE IN HOW THE REST OF THE FORECAST FOR TODAY AND EVEN TONIGHT EVOLVES AS CONVECTIVE CLOUD COVER/COLD POOL/REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES COULD ALL HAVE AN IMPACT ON EXPECTED REDEVELOPMENT OF SURFACE BASED CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. ASSUMING CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WEAKENS CONSIDERABLY BEFORE IT ARRIVES AND ONLY HAS MINIMAL IMPACT ON AREA...SCENARIO DESCRIBED BELOW SHOULD UNFOLD INTO A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. THE ALTERNATIVE SCENARIO WILL BE A LARGER IMPACT THIS MORNING FROM CURRENT MCS THAT HELPS TO STABILIZE ATMOSPHERE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY AND LIMIT EVENING/OVERNIGHT CONVECTION. TODAY AND TONIGHT... WARM FRONT DRAPED ACROSS NE KANSAS THROUGH N MISSOURI SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH WESTERN TENNESSEE WILL LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE CWA LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL GRADUALLY PLACE THE ENTIRE CWA IN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT AS SURFACE LOW OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST QUICKLY MOVES NORTHEAST IN RESPONSE TO POTENT SHORTWAVE EJECTING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WILL LIKELY HAVE TO DEAL WITH REMNANT SHOWERS AND A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER ACROSS OUR NORTHERN CWA FROM DYING CONVECTION CURRENTLY OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST. THEN...WILL HAVE THE THREAT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GRADUALLY LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS WITH CONVECTION FIRING TO OUR NORTHWEST ALONG THE COLD FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT DESTABILIZATION TO OCCUR QUICKLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS CONVECTIVE DEBRIS MOVES OUT AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT MOVES IN ON STEADY SOUTHERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NORTHWEST OF THE CWA LATER THIS AFTERNOON MOVING INTO OUR NORTHERN CWA THIS EVENING. ALL SEVERE WEATHER HAZARDS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THIS SURFACE BASED ENVIRONMENT...ALTHOUGH DAMAGING WINDS...HEAVY RAINFALL AND EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING WILL BE THE BIGGEST THREATS. CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED TORNADOES AS SHEAR SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF A FEW SUPERCELLULAR STRUCTURES...HOWEVER MAIN CONVECTIVE MODE SHOULD QUICKLY TRANSITION TO MCS ACTIVITY WITH BOWING SEGMENTS. BEST THREAT WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT...CLOSER TO BETTER OVERALL SHEAR. ALSO AS STORMS MOVE SOUTH AND EAST INTO THE NIGHT EXPECT THE LOSS OF THE BEST SURFACE BASED ENVIRONMENT. MODELS DIFFER IN TIMING OF HOW QUICKLY CONVECTIVE COMPLEX EXITS TONIGHT WITH NAM12/SPC WRF FASTER AND HAVING THE SYSTEM OUT OF THE AREA SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. MOST OTHER MODELS HAVE LEANED TOWARD A SLOWER SOLUTION AND HAVE BASED FORECAST ON THIS SCENARIO IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH NEIGHBORS. HAVE SOLID LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE NORTH FOR MUCH OF THE EVENING OVERNIGHT WITH SOLID CHANCE POPS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY. HAVE GONE NEARER THE LOWEST GUIDANCE FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY AS CONVECTIVE CLOUD COVER AND COLD POOL FROM DYING MCS COULD LIMIT HEATING. THIS SHOULD PUT MOST LOCATIONS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S BY THIS AFTERNOON. .LONG TERM (TUESDAY - SUNDAY)... MODEL CONSENSUS CONTINUES TO SHOW HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY PROCEEDING FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT TO THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES BY FRIDAY NIGHT...KEEPING US DRY DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL SEE THE MERCURY RISE INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S...WITH 90S LIKELY ON FRIDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLIP IN FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS WEEKEND...PROVIDING US WITH A CHANCE OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH OF THE THREE DAYS SATURDAY THROUGH THE FOURTH. AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE THE MOST LIKELY DAY FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SUNDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY WILL BE AROUND THE 90 DEGREE MARK. && .AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)... CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER WESTERN KY AND SOUTHWEST INDIANA WILL MOVE EAST AND IMPACT THE TAF SITES WITHIN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 HRS. HAVE TIMED IT INTO BWG BETWEEN 19-1930Z...SDF AT 1845Z...AND LEX AT 20Z RESPECTIVELY. BWG SHOULD SEE THE WORST CONVECTION WITH STRONG WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREATS. UPSTREAM OBS INDICATE 50 TO 60 MPH WINDS WITH THESE STORMS. WILL STAY CONSERVATIVE WITH BWG TEMPO GROUP...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND UPGRADE THE WINDS IF NECESSARY. SDF/LEX SHOULD BE ON THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THIS MCS. LEX STANDS THE BEST CHANCE TO GET A STRONG STORM OUT OF IT. HOWEVER...IT/S ABOUT 2.5 HRS WEST OF LEX RIGHT NOW SO WILL LEAVE OUT STRONG WINDS IN A TEMPO GROUP FOR NOW. WILL UPGRADE LEX/SDF AS THIS MCS EVOLVES. THE 14Z HRRR SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THIS MCS...SO HAVE SIDED WITH IT AS FAR AS END TIMES LATE THIS AFTERNOON. MORE CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE AFTER 3Z TONIGHT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT...BUT HAVE FOCUSED THIS TAF ISSUANCE ON THIS AFTERNOON/S CONVECTION. WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE OUT OF THE SOUTH AHEAD OF THE CONVECTION...VARIABLE AND GUSTY DURING CONVECTION...AND THEN SSW AFTER THE CONVECTION HAS PASSED THIS AFTERNOON. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
