The episode as NWS LMK wrote it up.
A very warm and unstable air mass brought a few rounds of severe thunderstorms to southern Indiana, starting during the evening hours Thursday June 25th. Isolated storms developed first, producing some sporadic wind damage. Then later that night, a complex of organized storms brought damaging winds, large hail and flash flooding during the early morning hours June 26th. Later that same afternoon, a strong surface low pressure moved across central Kentucky and brought another round of severe storms with damaging winds, large hail and flash flooding.
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 25, 8:54 PM EST, 2 hours 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 954 PM EDT Thu Jun 25 2015 ...Mesoscale Forecast Update... Issued at 952 PM EDT Thursday June 25 2015 We're losing the pure surface based environment with the loss of heating this evening, however plenty of instability (elevated) will hang around through the overnight hours. Still seeing isolated storms develop along the boundary, however best forcing still appears to be NW of the CWA where complex of storms is ongoing across central MO/southern IL. Still expect coverage of storms to increase, however think threats will be limited to some marginally hail from elevated storms and perhaps some strong gusty winds if complex upstream is able to organize more. Will keep the Severe Watch going for a bit longer, but may look to cancel early if things do not materialize over the next hour or two. Updated products are out. Previous Update... Issued at 821 PM EDT Thursday Jun 25 2015 ...Isolated Severe Threat Continues this Evening... A second Severe Thunderstorm Watch (#356) was added across our SE due to ongoing strong/marginally severe storms, and potential for developing upstream convection to move into this region. Overall, there a 2 separate T-storm watches that bisect the center of our CWA, roughly along a quasi-stationary boundary that will eventually act as a warm front. The western watch box is in effect until 05Z and the eastern until 06Z. Focus will gradually shift back to our West and NW through the later evening hours as development upstream gradually fills in. Latest surface moisture convergence data shows pooling along this boundary that stretches roughly from St. Louis, ESE across the center of our CWA. Atmosphere should remain strongly unstable (3000-4000 J/KG MLCAPE) with marginal effective bulk shear values (25-35 knots) through the evening hours, so expect main storm mode to vary between and pulse and small organized clusters. However, do think severe threat will diminish somewhat over the next few hours as a subtle stable layer develops near the surface with the loss of heating. Did want to mention a subtle uptick in the LLJ is expect later this evening which may do little more than help increase coverage, as overall bulk shear values should still stay marginal. Did want to mention our biggest threat/strongest storms will occur across our NW CWA where slightly more favorable speed and directional shear could support a brief rotating storm or two. Otherwise, main threats will continue to be isolated damaging winds and large hail, along with excessive CG lightning and brief heavy rain. .SHORT TERM (Now through Friday Night)... Issued at 315 PM EDT Thu Jun 25 2015 ...Multiple rounds of storms expected with severe potential this evening and again Fri evening... Complex forecast with limited confidence as multiple convective complexes are likely to affect the Ohio Valley through Friday night. Earlier MCS pushed an outflow boundary as far south as the Bluegrass Parkway by late morning, but SW flow has largely washed out that boundary. Clouds thinned quickly enough over west-central Kentucky that the atmosphere has recovered fairly well, and at 18Z moisture convergence, dewpoint gradient, and even a weak pressure trof suggest that the effective boundary is very near Interstate 64. However, AMDAR soundings show a weakening but still strong inversion between 900-800 mb so there is no convection yet. As we progress into the evening, the inversion should finally weaken enough to fire convection by 21-22Z. Mid-level winds near 40 kt will provide decent speed shear for this time of the summer, so the main threat will be damaging winds. However, all severe weather modes remain in play. Southward extent of precip chances and strong/severe threat may be a bit conservative yet, but the greatest potential for severe weather is in north central Kentucky. This convection should diminish by around midnight, perhaps even sooner if cold pool processes take over. Another MCS will dive at us from the northwest, and should be arriving to find a less favorable environment by daybreak Fri. Look for another lull either side of midday Fri as low-level inflow weakens. Renewed severe threat develops in the heat of the afternoon. Likely/categorical POPs Fri afternoon into Fri evening as the cold front pushes through. Poorly defined surface low will ride ENE along the front late Friday, and if a tighter closed low can interact with the boundary and juicy atmosphere, SVR wind/hail potential is decent and there will even be a non-zero tornado potential. Tricky max temp forecast as it is dependent on how much daytime convection develops. Will continue to ride just above climo in the upper 80s most spots. .LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)... Issued at 315 PM EDT Thu Jun 25 2015 Saturday... Cold front will be exiting our CWA to the east on Saturday morning, and amplified trough will be firmly established over the eastern CONUS. Expect lingering scattered showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder mainly east of I-65 with steep low and mid lapse rates, and what looks to be another shortwave embedded within the parent trough. Freezing levels will be quite low by Sat evening, so can't rule out some very small hail with any iso to widely scattered (20-30% coverage) shower. Highs will struggle under this much cooler airmass as temps only top out in the low and mid 70s east to mid and perhaps upper 70s west. Saturday Night through Sunday Evening... Surface high becomes more established Saturday night, with dry NW flow aloft in place. With dew points falling well into the 50s and decent radiational cooling conditions, below normal temperatures are in store. Expect most readings in the mid and upper 50s. Dry weather continues Sunday under the same pattern with warmer highs mostly in the 75 to 80 range. Early Monday Morning through Tuesday Night... As we move into the new work week, NW flow aloft looks to dominate the pattern as several disturbances move through the flow. This will keep an active period of showers and t-storms with reinforcing shots of cooler air each time. The first of these waves will dig across the upper Midwest and into the lower Great Lakes by Monday afternoon. Scattered showers and storms ahead of the associated surface low and cold front could arrive as early as the pre-dawn hours across southern IN on Monday. Scattered coverage is then expected to work SE across the CWA ahead of the front through the day. Isolated to widely scattered activity will linger into the late evening mainly across the southern CWA. Highs around 80 and lows in the 60s are expected. Main trough axis should be working eastward on Tuesday with main focus for continue Iso to Sct coverage focused across our SE CWA. Expect mostly dry Tuesday night. Temps will be a bit warmer in the upper 70s and low 80s Tuesday with slightly milder lows Tuesday night in the mid 60s. Wednesday through Thursday... Upper flow becomes more zonal through mid week supporting a moderation of temperatures back more solidly into the 80s. Precipitation chance confidence is quite low as timing of individual perturbations and the placement of a boundary nearly parallel to the upper flow will be key during this time. Will keep mention in the chance range (30-50%). && .AVIATION (00Z TAF Update)... Issued at 745 PM EDT Thu Jun 25 2015 Ongoing storms have developed along residual outflow and most coverage should remain between all the TAF sites through the early evening hours. Will stay VFR during this time with steady SW winds. Will watch upstream as developing convection slowly fills in and moves toward the TAF sites through the overnight hours. Confidence is low on strength when the storms arrive, however hi res models and antecedent environment support including a tempo mention of MVFR visibilities. Gusty winds may also occur with storm passage. Will adjust/amend timing at SDF/LEX as needed but right now think the best timing at SDF will be between 04-08 z and between 06-10z at LEX. BWG should stay far enough south. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && Mesoscale......BJS Short Term.....RAS Long Term......BJS Aviation.......BJS
