The episode as NWS LMK wrote it up.
A powerful cyclone began to deepen over Illinois during the afternoon hours on October 31st. Toward midnight, as low pressure moved across southern Lake Michigan, it deepened to well below 990mb. A powerful low level jet developed over the Lower Ohio Valley by mid-afternoon, as winds at 925mb increased to around 55kt by evening. These winds translated to surface winds of around 30 mph with frequent gusts up to 50 mph across southern Indiana and the Commonwealth. In addition to strong gradient winds, several convective lines developed across central Kentucky during the evening. Despite a lack of thunder, these lines of showers brought additional wind damage across the eastern Bluegrass and Lake Cumberland Regions during the early morning hours of November 1st.
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 Nov 1, 12:19 AM EST, 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
119 AM EDT Fri Nov 1 2013
...Updated Aviation Discussion...
.SHORT TERM (Now through Friday Night)...
Issued at 320 PM EDT Thu Oct 31 2013
Main area of surface low pressure is consolidating over Wisconsin
and northern Illinois as of 18Z, with a strong cold front trailing
back along the old Route 66 corridor into Oklahoma. Fairly broad
warm conveyor belt is streaming showers into western and central
Kentucky, but instability is quite limited this far north. However,
winds have cranked up with sustained winds around 20 mph, and plenty
of locations with gusts already hitting 35-45 mph. A more potent
line of showers has developed over southwest Illinois and southeast
Missouri.
Expect gusty showers to continue for the rest of the afternoon and
well into the evening. SPC still has a slight risk for severe
weather, and we believe there is a very narrow window late this
evening for any severe storms. Look for a very narrow ribbon of
instability that would help a line of storms along or immediately
ahead of the surface cold front go severe. Damaging wind will be the
main threat, but can't rule out a brief tornado spin-up given that
storm-relative helicity will still be quite high, although not in
the off-the-charts proportions that we see this afternoon.
Conditions ahead of the front will remain too stable to tap into the
optimal directional shear.
Heavy rain potential is not as promising as previously advertised.
PWATs are impressive at close to 1.8 inches, but it appears that any
vigorous convection will be too progressive to cause more than
short-fuse/nuisance flooding. Overall QPF should be on the order of
an inch to an inch and a half.
Front will sweep through around midnight or shortly after, with a
distinct wind shift to the west. Temps will hold close to afternoon
highs through midnight, then drop fairly rapidly with the fropa.
Friday morning lows still above normal, generally in the upper 40s
in Indiana, and lower/mid 50s in Kentucky. Not much in the way of
cold air just yet, so Friday highs will be near climo with plenty of
sunshine.
.LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
Issued at 300 PM EDT Thu Oct 31 2013
The synoptic pattern at the start of the long term period will
feature a rather amplified regime, with a trough in the east and a
strong ridge across the western CONUS. This pattern will remain
rather progressive through the extended period, transitioning back
to ridging aloft then eventually southwesterly flow once again over
the Ohio Valley by the end of the period as another longwave trough
ejects out into the central United States.
Clouds will quickly be increasing from the north on Saturday, as
another shortwave slides around the longwave trough, helping to
amplify it over the Ohio Valley. The cold core of this system will
mainly affect IN/OH, but enough cooling in the mid-levels will
allow instability to develop across areas mainly east of I-65 and
north of I-64. The forcing from the trough axis swinging through
coupled with this instability will likely spark some isolated to
perhaps widely scattered showers on Saturday. These showers will
be light in nature, but will make for a raw, damp day with
highs only expected to top out in the low to mid 50s. Southern KY
will likely miss out on the main cold core aloft, thus the
instability, so think they will remain dry through the day and thus
a bit warmer.
Conditions will dry out from Saturday night through Tuesday as
surface high pressure slides across the region. The pressure
gradient looks to be the lightest on Sunday morning, which will
allow for the coolest temperatures of the period. Have undercut
guidance a bit, putting temperatures in the low to mid 30s. The
high shifts east by the first part of next week, allowing southerly
return flow to envelop the region. After highs in the middle 50s on
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday will warm into the 60s.
The upper-level flow will transition to more southwesterly by the
middle of next week as another strong trough digs into the central
CONUS. As stated in the previous discussion, guidance continues to
slow this system down a bit as the pattern turns more amplified.
Almost all guidance members have trended toward the slower ECMWF
solution, thus have leaned on that for this forecast. This slower
trend means that Tuesday and Tuesday night will likely remain dry.
Precipitation will begin to stream into the region Wednesday
(perhaps very late Wednesday if the ECWMF is taken at face value).
It still does appear that this system will be tapping into tropical
moisture from the eastern Pacific, which will likely lead to
enhanced precipitation along the approaching trough/surface front.
Where exactly the bulk of this precipitation falls is hard to
pinpoint at this time, but the slow-moving nature of this front
coupled with this enhanced moisture plume could lead to some heavy
rainfall amounts somewhere across the Mississippi/Ohio Valleys.
&&
.AVIATION (06Z TAF Update)...
Updated at 118 AM EDT Fri Nov 1 2013
Low clouds will continue for a few hours behind the departing cold
front, along with gusty west winds (though nowhere near as gusty as
they were earlier). Once the MVFR ceilings clear out towards dawn,
the rest of the TAF period will be quiet with VFR conditions.
An upper wave and weak secondary cool front will approach from the
northwest late tonight, but should have little affect on aviation.
