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, Apr 30, 9:23 PM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
923 PM CDT FRI APR 30 2010
.DISCUSSION...
QUITE A BUSY NIGHT ALREADY WITH SEVERAL TORNADIC STORMS OVER IN
CENTRAL ARKANSAS. NEW TORNADO WATCH HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED WHICH
COVERS OUR COUNTIES WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER UNTIL 4 AM. SOME
OTHER THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO CREEP SLOWLY IN INTO
PARTS OF EAST ARKANSAS DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. HAVE
JUST UPDATED ZONES WITH NEW TORNADO WATCH WITH NO OTHER CHANGES
NEEDED AT THIS TIME.
ARS
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 735 PM CDT FRI APR 30 2010/
DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 333 PM CDT FRI APR 30 2010/
DISCUSSION...FORECAST FOCUS ON COMPLEX HEAVY RAIN/SEVERE WEATHER
EVENT THIS WEEKEND...THEN ON A BIG WARM UP NEXT WEEK.
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
AT 1930Z...RADAR INDICATED SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS STARTING TO
DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI IN RESPONSE TO DEEP MOISTURE
ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE REST OF THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. SOME OF THESE
STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE...BUT THE THREAT SHOULD BE ISOLATED AWAY
FROM THE MAIN FRONT. MEANWHILE ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN
ARKANSAS...MORE NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING ALONG
THE COLD FRONT. THIS FRONT WILL PUSH EAST SLOWLY THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. THE BEST FORCING TONIGHT WILL BE CONFINED TO NEAR THIS
FRONT...WHICH BEGINS TO STALL LATE. THEREFORE...EXPECT THE BEST
THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN TO REMAIN ALONG AND WEST OF THE RIVER
TONIGHT. PUSHED BACK THE START OF THE FFA EAST OF HERE TO 12Z
SATURDAY AND LEFT IT AS IS WEST.
AS THE MAIN BATCH OF THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT
PUSHES EAST...IT WILL CONTINUE TO ENCOUNTER FAVORABLE CONDITIONS
TO MAINTAIN THEIR SEVERITY AT LEAST TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. IN
FACT...AS I'M WRITING THIS A MODERATE RISK HAS BEEN POSTED FOR
PORTIONS OF EASTERN ARKANSAS. LATE TONIGHT THE EASTWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE STORMS WILL END AND THE ATMOSPHERE WILL TEND TO
BE WORKED OVER. THUS...THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH TOWARD
DAWN.
SATURDAY COULD BE INTERESTING AS A SURFACE LOW TRACKS ACROSS
WESTERN ARKANSAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH
NORTH SLIGHTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND MODELS SHOW A LULL OF
PRECIP COVERAGE AROUND 18Z. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE NEARLY
2000 J/KG OF CAPE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA BY EARLY AFTERNOON DESPITE
LOW CLOUD COVER. IN ADDITION...BECAUSE OF THE SURFACE LOW
TRACK...WINDS WILL BE BACKED A BIT NEAR THE SURFACE. VERY LOW LCLS
WILL ALSO BE IN PLACE...AND WITH MORE 0-1 KM CAPE THAN LAST
WEEKEND. AS THE LOW EJECTS NORTHEASTWARD IN THE AFTERNOON...IT
APPEARS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL ERUPT FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST WITH ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE...INCLUDING
TORNADOES. THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY. ADDED SEVERE BACK
TO THE GRIDS FOR SATURDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING.
THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP SATURDAY WILL TEND TO BECOME LINEARLY
FORCED ALONG THE SLOWLY MOVING COLD FRONT BY SATURDAY EVENING.
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING SHOULD BE THE BEST TIME FOR
TORRENTIAL RAINFALL. TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS AND PW/S AROUND 2
INCHES SHOULD ALLOW FOR TROPICAL RAINS AND FLASH FLOODING.
IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE LINE SUNDAY...MORE
SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE. THIS IS A BIT MORE CONDITIONAL...
SO WILL NOT INCLUDE SEVERE IN THE GRIDS ATTM.
MODELS DIFFER ON HOW QUICKLY THE COLD FRONT EXITS THE AREA SUNDAY
EVENING. THE 12Z NAM IS THE SLOWEST AND IT NOW DOESN/T LEAVE THE
TN RIVER VALLEY UNTIL 12Z MONDAY. THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE SLIGHTLY
QUICKER. OVERALL...I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE NAM VERIFY
GIVEN THE PARALLEL FLOW ALONG THE FRONT...BUT FOR NOW I WON/T MAKE
TOO MANY DRASTIC CHANGES. THE 12Z NAM WOULD SPELL 7 TO 9 INCHES
ACROSS WESTERN TENNESSEE.
WILL KEEP THE PREVIOUSLY FORECASTED RAINFALL TOTALS OF 5 TO 8
INCHES OVER THE EAST AND 3 TO 5 INCHES WEST. LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS WILL OF COURSE BE POSSIBLE.
LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT GAVE A
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY NOW LOOKS NON-EXISTENT AND THE
SOUNDINGS LOOK MUCH TOO DRY TO SUPPORT ANY CAPE. THUS...REMOVED
RAIN CHANCES MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
THICKNESSES AND H5 HEIGHTS WILL BUILD THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK.
MODELS DIFFER ON THE TIMING OF A POSSIBLE COLD FRONT LATE WEEK
WHICH WILL HAVE IMPLICATIONS ON TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND/OR
FRIDAY. HOWEVER...THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH BUILDING 85 TO 90 DEGREE TEMPS OVER THE MIDSOUTH FOR MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK. DEPENDING UPON IF THE WET GROUND CAN ZAP SOME OF THE
INCOMING SOLAR RADIATION FROM BEING CONVERTED TO HEAT...WE COULD
SEE SOME LOWER 90S WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY AS 925 MB TEMPS RISE INTO
THE +23C TO +24C RANGE.
BORGHOFF
AVIATION...
00Z TAF CYCLE (01/00Z-02/00Z)
MVFR CEILINGS WILL SPREAD OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING...AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD. IFR CEILINGS ARE
EXPECTED AT KTUP 08Z-14Z. OTHERWISE WATCHING TWO AREAS OF TSRAS
THIS EVENING. ONE IS OVER NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MS MOVING
NORTHEAST. THINK THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT KTUP THIS
EVENING...BUT WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING AS THEY MOVE IN A MORE CAPPED REGION. SECOND AREA OF
TSRAS EXTENDS FROM SOUTH-CENTRAL MO INTO SOUTHWEST AR. THESE TSRAS
WILL CONTINUE MOVING EASTWARD OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY...AFFECTING
KJBR AFTER 04Z...KMEM AFTER 07Z...KMKL AFTER 09Z...AND KTUP AFTER
14Z. AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH
RESULTING IN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SHRAS AND TSRAS. IFR / LIFR
CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR WITH THE TSRAS AND SOME STORMS MAY BE SEVERE
WITH HIGH WINDS AND HAIL. GUSTY S-SE WINDS WILL PERSIST MUCH OF
THE TIME INTO SATURDAY.
