NCEI Storm Data entries that began inside the alert's area while it was in force. Before 2003 the local storm report archive is thin, so this is the record of what happened rather than what was phoned in.

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

...THUNDERSTORMS...
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST
ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 65 MPH WILL BE THE
MAIN THREAT WITH ANY SEVERE STORMS.

A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WAS IN PLACE ACROSS THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION TODAY. THE COMBINATION OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT...AND NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES FROM EARLIER
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA...WILL ALLOW SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. WITH THE AIRMASS BEING QUITE UNSTABLE ACROSS THE
REGION...A FEW OF THESE STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE...PRODUCING
DAMAGING WIND.

WHILE A FEW ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS MAY OCCUR...THE COVERAGE OF
SEVERE STORMS IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT TO REQUIRE THE
ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS OR HAM RADIO OPERATORS THROUGH
TONIGHT.
