Did it verify
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.
The nearest sounding before it
Lake Charles Mun, LA (KLCH), launched 12:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 188 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.

Area forecast discussion, May 29, 11:45 AM CDT, 4 hours 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 1145 AM CDT SUN MAY 29 2005 .DISCUSSION...A WELL-DEFINED SURFACE BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM BASTROP TO ROLLING FORK TO NEAR DEKALB LATE THIS MORNING. A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM/MCS/ IS CURRENTLY SPREADING WIDESPREAD SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY INTO SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE AREA SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND AHEAD OF THE MCS IS RELATIVELY CLOUD-FREE AND IS DESTABILIZING. AN 18Z RAOB SHOULD GET A NICE SAMPLING OF THE PRE-MCS ENVIRONMENT. EXPECT MCS TO CONTINUE NE PROGRESSION ACROSS ALL OF NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. THE AREA RECEIVING GREATER SURFACE HEATING IS CURRENTLY UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH...A GREATER RISK FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS EXISTS THERE BECAUSE OF GREATER INSTABILITY...BUT THE AREA JUST NORTH OF THE WATCH ALONG THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR IS NOT EXEMPT FROM RECEIVING STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR WITH THE STORMS AS WELL. IN THE PAST 12 TO 18 HRS...THE AREA ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A JONESVILLE TO MAYERSVILLE TO DEKALB LINE RECEIVED A WIDESPREAD ONE TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN. IT APPEARS THE HEAVIER RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON WILL STAY SOUTH OF THAT AREA...SO NOT EXPECTING A SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOOD RISK. MINOR UPDATES WERE MADE TO TODAYS AND THIS EVENINGS FORECAST GRIDS TO ADUST FOR THE LATEST TEMP/CLOUD/WEATHER TRENDS. && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE. AR...NONE. && EC
