The radar

The Little Rock radar (KLZK), 164 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:58 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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

Little Rock, AR (KLZK), launched 00:00Z, 4.0 hours before the alert went out and 143 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.

FLASH FLOOD WARNING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1058 PM CDT FRI MAY 2 2008

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN JACKSON HAS ISSUED A

* FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR...
  BOLIVAR COUNTY IN NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI...
  THIS INCLUDES THE CITIES OF...SHELBY...SHAW...ROSEDALE...
  CLEVELAND...

* UNTIL 200 AM CDT

* AT 1058 PM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS DETECTED  
  A CONTINUED FLASH FLOODING RISK FROM THUNDERSTORMS THAT CONTINUE   
  TO TRACK NORTHEAST INTO BOLIVAR COUNTY. THE TRAINING OF STORM INTO 
  THESE AREAS WILL PERSIST FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE HOURS...BUT       
  PERSISTENT RAINFALL SHOULD BEGIN TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST OF THE WARNED  
  AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT.

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE 
WARNED AREA. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO 3 TO 5 INCHES WHICH HAS FALLEN 
SINCE EARLY THIS EVENING.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
