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.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 3, 12:45 PM CDT, 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1245 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2008
.UPDATE...UPDATED ZONES FOR LATEST TORNADO WATCH ACROSS THE WEST THAT
EXPIRES AT 7 PM.
LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS REMNANTS OF GUSTAV
ACROSS SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS. CONVECTIVE BANDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION...MAINLY OVER THE WEST HALF FOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY RAINS AND SOME ISOLATED
TORNADOES. FOR THIS MORNING FLOODING HAS BEEN AN ISSUE OVER THE
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS. SO WILL CONTINUE CURRENT LAKE
WIND ADVISORIES ACROSS THE REGION...WHICH EXPIRES AT 4 PM. WILL KEEP
CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA. OTHERWISE HAVE PUT 100 POPS ACROSS
THE ENTIRE REGION. KEPT CURRENT HIGHS. OTHERWISE THE REST OF
FORECAST APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK./17/
.AVIATION...THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE FOR THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
AREA. JAN/GWO/GLH WILL SEE MOST OF THE IMPACTS THROUGH THE DAY. WILL
MAINTAIN MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH AROUND 3Z. NOT SURE ABOUT CEILINGS
FOR THE EAST...LOOKS LIKE THE BAND OF LOW CLOUDS STRETCHES FROM THE
COAST. WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN CEILINGS AROUND 1500FT FOR THE NEXT FEW
HOURS FOR MEI/HBG. CEILINGS WERE NOT AS LOW AROUND GTR...MAY ADD A
TEMPO GROUP FOR LOWERING CEILINGS. WILL GRADUALLY RAISE CEILINGS
FROM 21-03Z. BUT FOG AND LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY RETURN AFTER
MIDNIGHT. WILL GO WITH TEMPO GROUPS FOR WORSENING CONDITION. MVFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AT ALL SITES FROM 7-13Z. A BAND OF RAIN
MAY DEVELOP EARLY THURSDAY AND MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. MAY ADD -SHRA VCTS AT GLH/GWO AROUND 15Z. THE RAIN WILL
LIKELY STAY OUT OF THE OTHER AREAS UNTIL AFTER 18Z THURSDAY. WINDS
WILL RANGE FROM 10 TO 20 KTS AT MOST SITES...WITH A FEW HIGHER
GUSTS. LOOKING FOR WINDS TO TAPER OFF THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WILL GO
WITH SPEEDS AROUND 10KTS AFTER 00Z./7/
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...424 AM CDT WED SEP 3 2008
.SHORT TERM...FOCUS THIS MORNING IS ON PRECIP CHANCES AND FLOODING
POTENTIAL. HEAVY RAINFALL AXIS REMAINS OVER THE SW CWA WITH
ADDITIONAL CLUSTERS RE-DEVELOPING AND CONTINUING TO MOVE INTO THE
SAME LOCATIONS. LATEST FORECAST/MODEL DATA SUPPORTS THIS AND
CONTINUES TO POINT AT THIS REGION AND GENERALLY THE W HALF OF THE
CWA WILL REMAIN THE BEST CONVERGENT AXIS AND SEE THE MAJORITY OF THE
PRECIP THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. RAINFALL OVER THE PAST
8-12HRS ACROSS THE SW HAS BEEN QUITE EXCESSIVE WITH STORM TOTALS OFF
THE RADAR IN THE RANGE OF 8 TO 15 INCHES IF THE CONVECTIVE NATURE
CONTINUES...THEN WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE MAJOR FLOODING ISSUES OVER
THAT PORTION OF THE CWA. I CAN SEE AN ADDITIONAL 2-5 INCHES TODAY
WITH SOME LOCATIONS SEEING MORE THAN 5 INCHES. SOME INDICATION IS
THAT THE HEAVY RAIN WILL ROTATE NORTHWARD AND COVER MORE OF THE
DELTA REGION. AS A RESULT...I WILL EXPAND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO
CATCH 3 COUNTIES IN THE NW CWA. THE I-55 CORRIDOR AND E/SE PORTION
OF THE CWA IS A BIT MORE TRICKY. SEVERAL AREAS DID RECEIVE HIGH
RAINFALL TOTALS YESTERDAY AND ARE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING WITH
JUST A LITTLE MORE RAIN. MY THINKING IS THAT WITH SOME SFC
HEATING...CONVECTION WILL FIRE AND COVER MOST OF THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE CWA. IM NOT THINKING THE FLOODING RISK WILL BE
WIDESPREAD...LIKE OVER THE W HALF...BUT IF CONVECTIVE BANDS GET
ORGANIZED...THEN SOME LOCALIZED AREAS COULD GET A QUICK 2-3 INCHES.
IF THAT FALLS OVER THE FLOODED AREAS FROM YESTERDAY...THEN
ADDITIONAL FLOODING PROBLEMS WILL ARISE. I STILL WANT TO SAY THAT
THE W/SW PORTION OF THE CWA WILL REMAIN THE MAJOR ISSUE. I WILL HOLD
OFF ON EXTENDING THE WATCH PAST 7 PM. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH AND SEE
HOW THINGS EVOLVE SO WE CAN ADJUST THE AREA IF NEEDED.
AS FOR THE SVR WX POTENTIAL...THERE IS A RISK OF DMG WIND AND SOME
TORNADOES AGAIN TODAY...BUT LOOKS LIKE THE RISK IS A BIT LESS THAN
YESTERDAY AND MORE FOCUSED ACROSS THE W HALF AND SW PORTION OF THE
CWA. IF THE PRECIP STAYS MORE STRATIFORM THEN THE RISK WILL BE
LOWER.
RAIN/PRECIP CHANCES WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO DROP OFF THIS EVENING AND
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. WITH THIS...I WILL START O TAPER
OFF THE DURATION OF THE WEATHER GRIDS AND BECOME MORE DIURNAL
STARTING LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. I HAVE TWEAKED POPS UP TODAY
AND A LITTLE THIS EVENING ACROSS THE NW. OTHER THAN THAT...GUID POPS
STEADILY LOWERED EACH DAY AND HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED.
AS FOR TEMPS...GUID WAS GENERALLY GOOD...BUT I DID LOWER VALUES
TODAY WHERE PRECIP WILL LIKELY FALL ALL DAY. THE E/SE PORTIONS ARE
VERY TOUGH B/C THEY WILL BE STARTING OFF THE DAY SO WARM...IT WONT
TAKE MUCH TO REACH THE 84-86 RANGE WITH JUST A FEW HOURS OF NO RAIN.
MORE SIG ADJ WERE FOR TONIGHTS LOWS...THE TREND LATELY IS FOR THE
REGION TO REMAIN VERY WARM AS CLOUDS/PRECIP AND WINDS KEEP TEMPS UP.
HAVE BASICALLY GONE WITH MID 70S AREA WIDE WHICH IS A TAD COOLER
THAN WHATS BEING OBSERVED CURRENTLY. GUID ALSO SEEMED TOO COOL FOR
THU NIGHT AND HAVE WARMED SEVERAL DEGREES AS CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP
TEMPS UP WITH A RANGE OF 70-72. /CME/
.LONG TERM...THE EXTENDED FORECAST LOOKS RATHER QUIET. THE MODELS
ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER PATTERN SHOWING EITHER WEAK
ZONAL OR SW FLOW. AFTER THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV PUSH OFF WELL TO OUR
NORTHEAST DRIER AIR WILL WORK IN AND THIS WILL HELP KEEP RAIN
CHANCES PRETTY LOW. THE WEEKEND WILL LIKELY BE MOSTLY DRY WHICH WILL
BE A WELCOME CHANGE. SLIGHTLY COOLER LL TEMPS WILL ALSO MOVE IN AND
KEEP HIGHS IN CHECK. IN ADDITION TO HIGHS THIS COOLER/DRIER AIR
WOULD NORMALLY ALLOW FOR SOME RATHER COMFORTABLE NIGHTS BUT WITH THE
AMOUNT OF RAIN THAT HAS FALLEN ALREADY AND WILL FALL B/T NOW AND THU
LOWS WILL LIKELY NOT GET NEARLY AS COOL AS THE GUI IS SHOWING FOR
THIS WEEKEND THANKS TO ALL OF THE GROUND MOISTURE. DUE TO THAT I
HAVE STUCK WITH LOWS CLOSE TO 70 FOR SAT AND SUN. THINGS REMAIN
PRETTY QUIET HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK BUT WE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON TROPICAL STORM IKE. THE FORECAST STILL HAS IKE MOVING
TWRDS THE FL STRAIGHTS WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING INTO THE GULF
BY MON. /CAB/
