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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
257 PM CDT FRI JUN 12 2009

.DISCUSSION...
DERECHO CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL AR AT DISCUSSION TIME.
THIS STORM HAS HAD A HISTORY OF WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE WITH 70 MPH
PLUS WINDS REPORTED OVER AR. AHEAD OF THIS IMPRESSIVE SYSTEM...
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS DISCRETE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL
HAD DEVELOPED OVER NORTH MS...WHERE SURFACE BASE CAPES WERE IN
EXCESS OF 4500 J/KG.

ENVIRONMENTAL SHEAR WAS MARGINAL...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW BRIEF
SPIN UPS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE DERECHO AS IT LIFTS EAST.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 388 WAS RECENTLY EXTENDED EAST THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF NORTH MS AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF WEST TN.

THROUGH MONDAY...THE MIDSOUTH WILL REMAIN ON THE PERIPHERY OF A 592DM
500MB RIDGE CENTERED OVER TX. THIS WILL PUT THE FORECAST AREA IN
THE FAVORED TRACK FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS DROPPING
EAST SOUTHEAST FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. GFS DEVELOPS ONE SUCH
SYSTEM OVER KS/OK THIS EVENING...BRINGING IT INTO THE MIDSOUTH
LATE TONIGHT. THUS FAR...NO ACTIVITY OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...
BUT AN INSTABILITY AXIS WITH MID 70S DEWPOINTS WAS BUILDING NORTH
INTO CENTRAL OK. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS
OVERNIGHT...THROUGH THERE MAY BE UP TO 10 HOURS OF RELATIVE QUITE
FOLLOWING THIS AFTERNOON/S DERECHO.

FEW CHANGES THROUGH THE EXTENDED. 12Z GFS SOLUTION BEGINNING TO
PULL AWAY FROM EARLIER RUNS BY SUPPRESSING THE UPPER RIDGE
WEST...TO THE FOUR CORNERS AND DROPPING HEIGHTS IN THE MS RIVER
VALLEY. 12Z ECMWF MAINTAINS THE ROBUST UPPER RIDGE OVER THE LOWER
MS RIVER VALLEY THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK. GIVEN THE LARGE MODEL
DISPARITY...WILL MAINTAIN THE WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH
LATE NEXT WEEK...IN LINE WITH EARLIER FORECASTS. RAIN CHANCES
BEYOND TUESDAY APPEAR LIMITED.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...SOUTH OF A LINE
FROM WALNUT RIDGE ARKANSAS TO JACKSON TENNESSEE TO SAVANNAH
TENNESSEE. A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES NORTH OF

PREVAIL OVER THE MIDSOUTH TODAY. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG AND TO THE SOUTH OF THE COLD FRONT...

THESE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRECEDE THE POSSIBLE ARRIVAL OF

SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THROUGH THIS EVENING WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS
IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH... WITH A SECONDARY THREATS OF LARGE HAIL AND
FLASH FLOODING. THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT LIKELY BE GREATEST NEAR THE
STALLED FRONT...WHERE STORMS ARE MORE LIKELY TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME
AREA.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR ALL OF MIDSOUTH
ON SATURDAY. THE SLIGHT RISK WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY FOR NORTHEAST
ARKANSAS...THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL AND WEST TENNESSEE. THE MAIN
THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE MODERATE RISK AREA.
