Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 87 minutes after it went out.

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

Little Rock, AR (KLZK), launched 00:00Z, 7.6 hours before the alert went out and 146 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 25, 9:01 PM CDT, 5 hours 32 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
901 PM CDT THU MAY 25 2006

.UPDATE...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SE MO AND WRN KY CONTINUE TO TREK
SOUTHEAST INTO NW TN. THESE STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN ADVANCE OF
THE COLD FRONT THAT STRETCHES FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO S CNTRL
MO. THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF INSTABILITY SOUTH OF THE FRONT WITH
SBCAPES OF 3000 J/KG ACRS NE AR...THE MO BOOTHEEL AND NW TN.
MEANWHILE AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS MOVING THROUGH THE MID MS
VALLEY INCREASING THE WINDS ALOFT. THIS IS HELPING STORMS TO
ORGANIZE...STRENGTHEN AND MAINTAIN THEIR UPDRAFTS. THE RESULT HAS
BEEN LONG LIVED...HAIL PRODUCING SUPERCELLS. ALSO...THESE STORMS
HAVE BEEN ROTATING AND AS LCLS LOWER THIS EVENING THERE IS THE
POSSIBILITY AN ISOLD TORNADO ACRS MAINLY NW TN. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
EVENTUALLY SHIFT EAST LATER TONIGHT AS SHORTWAVE AND THE ASSOCD
STRONGER MID LEVEL WINDS ROTATE EAST OUT OF THE AREA.

NO IMMEDIATE UPDATES PLANNED. CURRENT FORECAST ON TRACK. NE AR
SEVERE TSTM WATCH EXPIRES AT 04Z. MO BOOTHEEL AND NW TN TORNADO
WATCH EXPIRES AT 06Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 319 PM CDT THU MAY 25 2006)

DISCUSSION...

THE AIRMASS ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON REMAINS HOT AND
HUMID WITH TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE UPPER 80S EAST TO LOWER
90S WEST. WITH CONTINUED HEATING EXPECT MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TO
TOP OUT IN THE 90-95 DEGREE RANGE. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
FORMED ALONG AN OLD CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY STRETCHED BASICALLY ALONG
INTERSTATE 40 IN WEST TENNESSEE. THESE STORMS WILL BE DRIVEN BY
THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND STRONG
INSTABILITY. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO REMAIN PULSE IN NATURE AND
UNORGANIZED AS DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS WEAK IN THESE AREAS.
CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE STORM...WITH DAMAGING
WINDS THE GREATEST THREAT. BUT AGAIN THESE STORMS WILL REMAIN
UNORGANIZED AND SEVERE THREAT SHOULD REMAIN LIMITED. HAVE KEPT
SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW-END CHANCE POPS IN FOR THIS EVENING IN
VICINITY OF THIS BOUNDARY THROUGH THIS EVENING.

A POTENT MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST-SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS EVENING. A BAND OF ENHANCED
MID-LEVEL WINDS (40KTS) ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS SHORTWAVE
AND WEAK HEIGHT FALLS WILL SKIM NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH THE BEST MID-LEVEL FORCING AND DEEP
LAYER SHEAR SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF THE MEMPHIS CWA THERE STILL
SHOULD BE ENOUGH FORCING FROM THE SHORTWAVE AND SOME SURFACE
CONVERGENCE ALONG A STALLING FRONT OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS TO
TRIGGER SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS EVENING. MODERATE
INSTABILITY (MUCAPES  2000-3000J/KG) ALONG WITH MARGINALLY STRONG
DEEP LAYER SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW SEVERE MULTICELLULAR
CLUSTERS. THEREFORE WILL KEEP SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS
CONFINED TO NORTHEAST AREAS THIS EVENING...WITH THE GREATEST
THREAT FROM ANY OF THESE STORMS REMAINING DAMAGING WINDS. ISOLATED
LARGE HAIL MAY ALSO OCCUR...BUT SHOULD BE LESS OF A THREAT AS
FREEZING LEVELS REMAIN HIGH.

ON FRIDAY...THE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE EAST AND UPPER
RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA. THE STALLED SURFACE FRONT MAY
LINGER OVER NORTHEAST SECTIONS AND THIS COMBINED WITH ADDITIONAL
CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL SUPPORT SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS OVER THESE AREAS.
ELSEWHERE...EXPECT ANOTHER HOT...HUMID...AND DRY DAY. THESE
CONDITIONS WILL LINGER INTO SATURDAY WITH SIMILAR CONDITIONS IN PLACE.

LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL DOMINATE THE EXTENDED PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST WITH MORE TYPICAL SUMMER WEATHER TO CONTINUE. SHOULD BE
ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY AROUND TO SUPPORT ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED DIURNALLY DRIVEN AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE AND HAVE RAISED
EXTENDED TEMPERATURES ABOVE GUIDANCE TO ADJUST FOR MEX NUMBERS
BIAS OF TRENDING TOWARDS CLIMATOLOGY. ALL IN ALL...CONTINUED
HOT...HUMID...AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
