The episode as NWS JKL wrote it up.
A severe weather outbreak occurred across eastern Kentucky during the late afternoon and evening hours of October 7th. Three confirmed tornadoes occurred in Bath and Pike counties (2 in Bath and 1 in Pike). These twisters caused varying degrees of damage to trees, power lines, and various structures in both counties. These tornadoes were small and extremely short lived, which made them quite difficult to detect on radar. Numerous reports of large hail and wind damage were also received during this event. Some minor flooding occurred where numerous thunderstorms tracked across the same areas. The storms formed in a warm and only slightly unstable air mass that had set up across central and eastern Kentucky. The primary trigger for the severe and tornadic storms was a very strong and dynamic middle and upper level wind field that was present over the region. The rapid change in wind speed with height caused most every thunderstorm that formed on this day to rotate. A few of these circulations were able to reach the surface in Bath and Pike counties where the tornadoes were reported.
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 Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Oct 7, 3:53 AM EST, 17 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 453 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014 .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 340 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014 NEW ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TAKING PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN KENTUCKY EARLY THIS MORNING. NONE OF THE FORECAST MODELS HAVE REALLY BEEN PICKING UP ON THIS ACTIVITY...SO THE FORECAST GRIDS THROUGH 12Z TODAY WERE UPDATED TO REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS IN RADAR IMAGERY AND OBSERVATIONS FROM AROUND THE REGION. THE FORECAST FROM 12Z TODAY THROUGH 0Z THURSDAY WAS HANDLED BEST BY A COMBINATION OF THE HRRR MODEL AND A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE LATEST CONSALL RUN. AFTER THE CURRENT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS FINALLY MOVES OUT OF THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING...THERE SHOULD BE A BRIEF LULL IN THE ACTION THROUGH ABOUT 15Z. AFTER THAT...SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FIRE QUICKLY...AS A SHORT WAVE TROUGH ROTATES AROUND THE BASED OF A MUCH LARGE SCALE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ALOFT. CURRENT OBS ARE ALSO SUGGESTING THE PRESENCE OF SOME SORT OF WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN KENTUCKY. THIS BOUNDARY WILL ALSO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL FORCING MECHANISM FOR SHOWER AND STORM FORMATION LATER THIS MORNING. THAT ALL BEING SAID...THE MOST ACTIVE PART OF THE DAY LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING DURING THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORT WAVE. THE MOST INTENSE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY OCCUR DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS DURING PEAK HEATING AND WHILE A 40 TO 60 KT LOW LEVEL JET MOVES ACROSS THE AREA ALONG THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL WEATHER SYSTEM. SMALL HAIL...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...AND FREQUENT LIGHTING WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS WITH ANY STORMS THAT OCCUR TODAY. TEMPERATURES THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WILL PROBABLY BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF WIDESPREAD CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION AND THE SHIFTING OF WINDS FROM THE SOUTH TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST AFTER THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS PASSES OFF TO OUR EAST. HIGHS TODAY AND TOMORROW SHOULD TOP OUT AROUND 70 WITH TONIGHTS LOWS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 453 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014 AN UNSETTLED PERIOD WITH NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUES TO LOOK IN THE OFFING FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY AS A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL GET HUNG UP ACROSS THE AREA FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. THERE CONTINUES TO BE MODEL DIFFERENCES IN THE POSITION AND TIMING OF THE FRONT AND INDIVIDUAL BOUTS OF UPPER LEVEL FORCING. WILL LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF MORE DUE TO ITS BETTER CONTINUITY COMPARED TO THAT OF THE GFS. THIS BOUNDARY WILL EVENTUALLY LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...PERHAPS BRINGING A TEMPORARY REPRIEVE AS DEEPER TROUGHING BECOMES ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. A FINAL COLD FRONT WILL EVENTUALLY SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA...POSSIBLY AS LATE AS NEXT TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 128 AM EDT TUE OCT 7 2014 THE INITIAL FOCUS IN THE TAFS WILL BE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL BE AFFECTING JKL TO BEGIN THE TAF PERIOD. THESE STORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS AT THE AIRPORT BETWEEN 530 AND 6Z. BASED ON UPSTREAM RADAR IMAGERY...IT APPEARS THE TAF SITES SHOULD BE RELATIVE FREE OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. LOW AND MIDDLE LEVEL CLOUD COVER...AND PERHAPS SOME FOG...WILL LIKELY PLAGUE THE TAF SITES FROM TIME TO TIME THROUGH 15Z OR SO TODAY. THE NEXT MAJOR ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT EASTERN KENTUCKY BY 16 OR 17Z TODAY...LASTING THROUGH AROUND 0Z THIS EVENING...AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ALOFT MOVES ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEY REGIONS. AFTER 0Z...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...AR LONG TERM...GEOGERIAN AVIATION...AR
