The radar
The Paducah radar (KPAH), 122 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 05:04 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 5.0 hours before the alert went out and 167 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Oct 18, 3:49 PM CDT, 8 hours 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 18, 3:49 PM CDT, 8 hours 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 349 PM CDT MON OCT 18 2004 .SHORT TERM...LATEST SURFACE PLOT SHOWS SURFACE WARM FRONT STRETCHING FROM EAST CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. SURFACE DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE REGION RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 60S INTO THE LOWER 70S. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING SCATTERED CU/AC FIELD ACROSS MUCH OF ARKANSAS AND LOUISIANA. MAIN FORECAST CONCERN TONIGHT IS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL. RUC ANALYSIS INDICATES 700 MB TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER/MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY OVERNIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL INDICATE A DECENT AMOUNT DIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE MID SOUTH TONIGHT WITH 0-3KM SRH VALUES AROUND 200 M2/S2...LI/S AROUND -5...AND CAPES AROUND 2500 J/KG. HOWEVER WITH WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...SEVERE POTENTIAL MAY BECOME SOMEWHAT LIMITED AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. .LONG TERM...TUESDAY...MID/UPPER LEVEL SHEAR AXIS WILL SLIDE ACROSS LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI. LIFTING MECHANISM WILL BE HARDER TO COME BY AS MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS THE MID SOUTH. A MODIFIED SURFACE PARCEL PRODUCES SURFACE BASED CAPES IN EXCESS OF 2500 J/KG...LI/S AROUND -7...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 1.5 INCHES. 850MB TEMPERATURES AROUND 16C SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL DIMINISH TUESDAY NIGHT AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE MID SOUTH. DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S WILL KEEP LOWS QUITE MILD. WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON AS CAPES ABOVE 2500J/KG...RELATIVELY LIGHT 850-500 MB WIND FIELDS...AND LI/S AROUND -6. NO MAJOR FOCUSING MECHANISM WILL BE PRESENT WITH MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGING AND THINK THAT ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WOULD BE VERY ISOLATED. THURSDAY THROUGH THROUGH MONDAY...MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CURRENT AND PREVIOUS LONG RANGE MODELS WITH LONG WAVE TROUGH PASSAGE SHOW EUROPEAN QUICKER...AND GFS A LITTLE DEEPER. IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT STALLING OUT ACROSS THE MID SOUTH AND MOVING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT AS HIGH BUILDS OVER THE GULF. WILL HAVE POPS DECREASING TO SLIGHT CHANCE BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND DRY FORECAST FOR MONDAY. && .MEG...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...NONE. MS...NONE. MO...NONE. TN...NONE. && CJC
