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 tornado 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Sep 1, 4:41 PM CDT, 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 4:41 PM CDT, 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
441 PM CDT MON SEP 1 2008

.SHORT TERM...SERIOUS IMPACTS FROM GUSTAV WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING. THE CENTER OF THE HURRICANE HAS LIFTED INTO SERN LA AND
WILL SLOWLY LIFT NWWD ACROSS LA OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO. SQUALLS AND
A HEALTHY POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING AND
THE TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO COVER SERN AR/MS DELTA ZONES.
WIND GUSTS WELL ABOVE HURRICANE STRENGTH /92 MPH/ HAVE BEEN REPORTED
AT BATON ROUGE THIS AFTERNOON. A BIG CONCERN IS THE GOOD POSSIBILITY
THAT WIND GUSTS WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER SWRN ZONES AS THE
HURRICANE CENTER LIFTS TO THE NW CLOSER TO THOSE AREAS. ALTHOUGH
GUSTAV WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN...WIND GUSTS NEAR HURRICANE STRENGTH
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE OVER SWRN ZONES THROUGH MIDNIGHT. HEALTHY QPF
FIELDS WILL CONTINUE AS TROPICAL RAIN BANDS MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW. THE EURO IS HEAVIEST ON PCPN TUESDAY...ADDING ANOTHER 2-3
INCHES OF RAIN TO THE WATCH AREA. WILL CONTINUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
THROUGH TUESDAY FOR NOW.

HAVE TRIED TO TAPER WIND RISKS FROM THE EAST OVERNIGHT BUT THESE
WILL BE ADJUSTED AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON. STRONG 850 MB FLOW WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW OVER WRN ZONES AND WILL SEE GUSTY WIND
CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY IN RAINBANDS AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION WHEN
WINDS GET MIXED DOWN TO THE SURFACE.

CONSIDERABLE RAINFALL TOTALS REMAIN OVER EXTREME WRN ZONES THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT. THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV LIFT INTO EXTREME NERN TX
WEDNESDAY WITH 850 MB FLOW STILL HANGING AROUND 50 KTS ALONG THE MS
RIVER REGION INTO WED AFTERNOON BEFORE THE LOW GRADUALLY CURVES BACK
NEWD INTO AR.

.LONG TERM...THE FORECAST FOR THE EXTENDED IS DIFFICULT BUT
CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE IT COULD BE A WET ONE. THE MDLS CONTINUE TO
SUGGEST GUSTAV SLOWING DOWN CONSIDERABLY AND POSSIBLY STALLING IN
THE AREA. IF THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV DO STALL OUT OR SLOW DOWN THIS
WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAIN. IF THIS SCENARIO
SETS UP THEN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE EXTENDED INTO THU WHERE
IT LOOKS LIKE AN AREA OF HEAVY RAIN COULD SET UP ACROSS NERN LA/SERN
AR AND WRN MS. AFTER THU IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A DECENT
CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN INTO THE WEEKEND. /CAB/

&&

.AVIATION...CEILINGS ACROSS THE REGION WERE GENERALLY MVFR TO VFR
CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON. TROPICAL SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR MVFR TO IFR ISSUES WITH PERIODS OF
HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. EXPECT CEILINGS
FROM MVFR-IFR LEVELS TO DEVELOP FROM THE SOUTH FOR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. STRONG GUSTY WINDS
WILL ALSO BE AN ISSUE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST WINDS WILL
OCCUR OVER CENTRAL AND SRN ZONES WITH TROPICAL STORM FORCE GUSTS
POSSIBLE SOUTH OF I-20. WIND WILL INCREASE OVER NWRN AREAS DURING
THE EVENING AS GUSTAV LIFTS NWWD ACROSS LA./17/
