The episode as NWS LMK wrote it up.
An anomalously strong mid- and upper-level trough for early July was centered over the Plains and gradually moved eastward toward the Ohio Valley on July 1st and 2nd, 2023. A meandering surface frontal boundary gradually became more well defined throughout this period, with a warm front lifting through the Ohio Valley on July 1st before a series of remnant outflow boundaries and a convectively-enhanced cold frontal passage occurred July 2nd into the morning hours of July 3rd. Across central Kentucky and southern Indiana, there was ample fuel for convection, as temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s and lower 90s and dewpoints in the low-to-mid 60s allowed for the development of over 2500 J/kg of mixed-layer CAPE. Since there was initially no predominant organizing feature for convection, multiple waves of showers and thunderstorms moved across the region on July 1st, producing intermittent instances of damaging straight-line winds and near-severe hail, primarily across southern Indiana. However, as the main trough and the surface cold front moved into the region on July 2nd, convection was better organized thanks to 40-45 knots of effective bulk shear in addition to moderate to high levels of instability. Convective development on July 2nd began during the early afternoon hours across southwestern Indiana and western Kentucky. Initially, convective mode was predominantly cellular, but cells gradually grew upscale through the afternoon into clusters and larger quasi-linear structures. Downdraft CAPE was over 1000 J/kg and significant hail parameter values exceeded 1 through most of the area; accordingly, strong to damaging winds and hail were the primary severe hazards observed during the afternoon and evening hours on July 2nd. However, there was just enough low-level helicity to facilitate the development of two weak tornadoes, one in Anderson County and the other in Casey County. Storms gradually subsided after sunset, with the severe threat ending across the region by midnight on July 3rd.
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 30, 11:28 PM CST, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Louisville KY 128 AM EDT Sat Jul 1 2023 .Forecast Update... Issued at 945 PM EDT Fri Jun 30 2023 Storms continue to form along an instability and moisture gradient this evening. There is currently a severe thunderstorm watch still in effect for our southwestern counties. While storms are generally out of the region currently, a isolated storm could still form. Some LSRs included quarter to ping pong sized hail, downed trees, and dense lightning. CAMs have struggled with the convection for the past few days given that the pattern we are in leads to more forecast uncertainty. In the past few runs of the HRRR, it has suggested that the convection forming over southern Illinois will reach the Ohio River Valley tomorrow morning and then head south through the late afternoon as a more mature MCS. SPC has the eastern portion of the region in an enhanced risk area, and the rest in a slight risk. Major threats for tonight and tomorrow are damaging winds and large hail. As the MCS get closer to the region, we expect it to have a mature cold pool associated with the convection so winds could gust 60-70mph. Additionally, if the MCS does arrive later and move through the region in the late afternoon, we would reach high temperatures in the low-mid 90s tomorrow. This would further aid in the maintenance of the MCS as it moves over the region. && .Short Term...(This evening through Saturday) Issued at 305 PM EDT Fri Jun 30 2023 ...Multiple rounds of Strong to Severe Storms Possible... Current surface analysis reveals a northwest to southeast oriented boundary across our far southwestern CWA counties (Bowling Green metro and surrounding areas). West of this boundary, temperatures have soared into the 90s and dewpoints are in the mid to upper 70s, with even some ~80 degree readings in far western Kentucky. Heat indices have exceeded the 105 degrees F in these areas. East of the boundary, persistent cloud cover has kept temperatures from rising as high, with current (1830z) readings in the low to mid 80s for many and dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. It appears this boundary will not shift very much to the east for the remainder of the day, which likely means that counties east of the boundary within the heat advisory will not see heat indices to 105 degrees. As a result, have gone ahead and cancelled the advisories early in these areas, while continuing them for our far southwest. While we're in a bit of a lull for rain and storms now, we will see storm activity pick up again overnight. Models indicate that storms will fire up along the aforementioned boundary in Missouri/Illinois and western Kentucky late this afternoon into the evening hours and push toward our region around or just shortly after sunset. By the time storms arrive to our region, environment will feature modest shear (25-35kts effective, possibly more in the north) and high MUCAPE (+2500), which will support the potential for strong to severe storms. Models typically weaken this activity as it pushes eastward, but given higher amounts of elevated instability, would not be surprised if activity persists longer than what some CAMs suggest. Confidence in the forecast details for tomorrow remain low, but it appears that we could have lingering showers/storms during the morning hours before seeing a brief lull in activity in the afternoon. Several CAMs have been honing in on a line or broken lines of storms pushing in from the west toward the end of the day Saturday, which will be covered in greater detail within the long term section. In addition to the storm threat, there is also some concern that we could touch low-end heat advisory criteria across our southern (near TN) and western Kentucky counties. Should we end up a bit drier in the morning and afternoon hours than expected, temperatures will likely exceed current forecasts, and with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s, heat indices would exceed 105 degrees. Given the potential for multiple rounds of rain/storms in the morning and afternoon, and for lingering cloud cover, confidence is not high enough to go with a heat advisory at this time for Saturday. .Long Term...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 330 PM EDT Fri Jun 30 2023 Key Messages: - Organized showers and thunderstorms expected Saturday night and Sunday; some strong to severe storms possible. Main severe threat would be damaging winds; localized flooding issues possible. - Chances for showers and storms decreases for Monday and Independence Day, hot and humid conditions continue through all of next week. Saturday Night - Sunday Night... Considerable forecast uncertainty exists as we head into Saturday night and Sunday. An approaching mid-level trough and H5 speed max will swing through the mid-MS and OH valley, providing additional dynamic support in the form of enhanced vertical wind shear. A weak sfc cyclone will move eastward from the central Plains Saturday afternoon into the lower Midwest on Sunday, bringing increased low- level moisture to our region as it slides to our north. The strongest signal for organized severe weather at this time appears to come Saturday evening into the early hours of Sunday morning, as convection is expected to fire on the leading edge of a H85 jet/theta-E gradient/sfc warm front. While there should be ample MLCAPE (2000+ J/kg) across eastern MO/western KY to initially sustain some sort of MCS, the picture becomes less clear once storms enter our CWA. Typical diurnal instability trends will mean that instability should be decreasing as convection overspreads the area, and support from low-level warm advection looks to be insufficient to overcome the overall downward trend in CAPE. However, improving dynamic support may be able to sustain convection into our region, and the margin is too small to dismiss the severe potential. Would expect the main severe threat from storms to be gusty/damaging winds as a mature cold pool should have developed by the time storms reach the area. While expected rainfall amounts are not impressive on a regional scale, localized higher totals could lead to some minor flooding where the heaviest convective cores set up, although convection should be fairly progressive. Once convection dwindles Sat. night/early Sunday morning, there should be a relative lull in shower/storm coverage through much of the morning on Sunday. However, another round of showers/storms is expected Sunday afternoon, with an overall similar setup to Saturday night promoting similar expected severe/flooding hazards Sunday afternoon/evening. By early Monday morning, the sfc low will move into OH/western PA, with NW flow in its wake bringing drier air to the region on Monday. This should help to taper shower/storm chances Sunday night, with PoPs clearing gradually from west to east. Monday - Thursday... While it would be difficult to classify the system passing through Sunday as a "cold" front considering expected temperatures remaining in the 80s/lower 90s early next week, marginally drier air should wrap around the western side of the sfc low/upper trough for Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, a relatively weak flow pattern aloft in the wake of the departing mid-level trough will remove much of the dynamic support for organized convection. As a result, think that Monday and Tuesday will bring considerably reduced chances for afternoon showers/storms, with any convection that arises being more of the "air mass" thunderstorms variety. Have trimmed PoPs below NBM guidance, generally bringing them into the slight chance to chance range. As alluded to earlier, temperatures should remain seasonably warm, with highs in the mid-to-upper 80s/lower 90s and lows in the upper 60s and lower 70s Monday and Tuesday. By mid-week, a gradual pattern shift is expected with west coast ridging allowing for troughing to try to sink into the central/eastern CONUS. This should allow for a sfc cold front to approach the area from the NW, although hot and humid conditions will persist through the end of the current extended forecast period. Increasing southwesterly flow ahead of the approaching front/trough will cause a surge of higher moisture air to return to the OH valley, and PoPs will increase as we head through the mid- week time period. It's hard to nail down specifics at this time given the amount of lead time, but guidance trends will be monitored over the weekend to determine if there will be any severe/flooding potential will the mid-late week storms. && .Aviation...(06Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 115 AM EDT Fri Jun 30 2023 Low-confidence forecast as the CAMs continue to struggle with convective evolution. Only convection that poses an immediate issue is the linear cluster of storms heading into BWG, where we'll initialize with VCTS but also carry a TEMPO for the storms impacting the field, as timing is still a bit uncertain. SDF/LEX/HNB should remain rain-free and VFR for most of the night, but as things try to organize upstream, the best shot for convection there is during the morning hours. May be a bit on the generous side if only due to low confidence, but went 13-16Z at HNB, 14-18Z at SDF, and 15-19Z at LEX, but kept vis in the MVFR range and limited to SHRA/VCTS. Direct TS impacts on any of those terminals could result in brief IFR conditions, and don't expect even MVFR to last the entire time period. Went VFR for the afternoon with SW winds around 10 kt, and carried the next cluster of storms in the evening for SDF and HNB. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...None.

Severe storms developed west of Lawrenceburg in two waves. One produced |straight line winds as a squall line and moved from west to east into downtown|Lawrenceburg where it caused multiple trees to fall, likely with winds of |80-90 mph. Additionally, a brick building downtown that had been previously |damaged from the March 3rd event suffered additional damage to the brickwork.
The other was a storm that developed just south of that line and caused a |tornado to drop along Highway 44 west of Lawrenceburg starting in the 2200 |block where several large trees had fallen along the road but had been cleaned |up by the time the survey occurred. There was significant tree damage along |McDonald Road paralleling Highway 44. The most significant damage occurred|around a square home with pyramid shaped roof. Trees fell without hitting the |home, but fell in multiple directions. No shingles were damaged, but that may |be due to the steepness of the roof. The survey continued ENE with tree |damage on both McDonald and Highway 44 from the 2200 block all they way |to the 1600 block. At the latter location, a barndominium suffered partial roof |damage. Part of the metal roof was torn in one slab and thrown to the east of |the property. The property owner witnessed a circulation approaching and took |shelter in an open garage whose closed doors were blown outwards.

Damage |in this area was consistent with an EF-1 tornado with winds of 100-105 mph. |The homeowner stated the damage occurred a little before eight o`clock, |which is important given multiple storms moving across the area over that hour. |Time that the tornado was on the ground was brief. Homeowner noted a small |gap in the tree line north of the house which we believe was the starting point. |Damage went downstream into a field of soybeans, but there was no apparent|path in the soybeans themselves.
