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 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
Slidell Radar S, LA (KSIL), launched 00:00Z, 2.5 hours before the alert went out and 149 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.

&&
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS
SHOWS THE QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS SOUTHERN
MISSISSIPPI INTO SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND THE PAIR OF UPSTREAM MESOSCALE
SYSTEMS HAVE EVOLVED INTO ONE OVER CENTRAL ALABAMA. THE STATIONARY
FRONT EXTENDS WESTWARD TO A COLD FRONT ADVANCING ACROSS ARKANSAS AND
INTO NORTHERN LOUISIANA. A POWERFUL MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE ADVANCING
FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS HAS INDUCED ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT...THE COLD FRONT AND IN THE
UPSTREAM WARM SECTOR REGION...BODING FOR AN ACTIVE NIGHT AT LEAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA. THE STRONG CAP IN PLACE
DURING MUCH OF THE DAY OVER THE FORECAST AREA HAS ESSENTIALLY ERODED
BUT MEANWHILE ALLOWED FOR SURFACE BASED CAPES TO BUILD TO IN EXCESS
OF 3000 J/KG WITH HELICITY VALUES NEAR 225 M2/S2. WHILE THE
MESOSCALE COMPLEX DIVES SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF
THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS EVENING...CONVECTION NEAR THE
STATIONARY FRONT WILL AFFECT THE REMAINING NORTHERN PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA. ADDITIONAL UPSTREAM CONVECTION WILL ADVANCE INTO THE
FORECAST AREA LATER THIS EVENING. THE FRONT COMPLETES MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA BY LATE TONIGHT WITH SKIES CLEARING EARLY ON
THURSDAY. UNEVENTFUL CONDITIONS FOLLOW THROUGH FRIDAY AS A SURFACE
HIGH MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM THAT SPAWNED THE
ACTIVE WEATHER MEANWHILE EVOLVES INTO A 500 MB LOW OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN STATES WHICH LATER MOVES SOUTHWARD WITH SURFACE
CYCLOGENESIS DEVELOPING OVER SOUTH CAROLINA ON SATURDAY. THE
SURFACE LOW DEEPENS AS THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM CONTINUES FURTHER INTO
THE SOUTHEAST STATES...AND DRIVES A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA AND
INTO THE NORTHERN GULF. WILL KEEP SMALL CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST
FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. /29
&&
.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...THE STUBBORN UPPER LOW
FINALLY EJECTS OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC ON WEDNESDAY ALLOWING FOR
SHALLOW RIDGING TO BUILD INTO THE REGION. WILL NEED TO KEEP SMALL
POPS IN THE FORECAST UNTIL TUESDAY. /29
&&
.MARINE...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL MOVE
NORTHWARD TO THE GREAT LAKES AND DRAG A COLD FRONT EASTWARD ACROSS
THE COASTAL WATERS BY THURSDAY MORNING. STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY AND INCREASE TO ADVISORY LEVELS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT TONIGHT AND BECOME NORTHWEST BY THURSDAY MORNING BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT. A MODERATE TO STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING THEN DECREASE AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTHWARD INTO
THE WESTERN GULF. FLOW WILL BECOME ONSHORE AND INCREASE ON SATURDAY
AHEAD OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. LIGHT TO MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW
WILL PREVAIL IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. /13
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...ACTIVE CONVECTION DEVELOPS ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT
THEN ENDS AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. DRIER AND COOLER AIR
FLOWS INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY. AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
WILL DROP TO NEAR CRITICAL LEVELS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BUT APPEARS
TO NOT BE IN DANGER OF SATISFYING DURATION REQUIREMENTS. /05
