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 severe thunderstorm 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
Jackson, MS (KJAN), launched 00:00Z, 9.6 hours before the alert went out and 98 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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
425 AM CDT WED MAR 30 2011
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...LATEST RADAR IMAGERY
SHOWS MOST OF THE VIGOROUS CONVECTION IN VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT
NEAR THE GULF COAST PUSHING OUT OF SOUTHEASTERN ZONES...WITH
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL/SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
ARKLAMISS IN VICINITY OF A COLD FRONT SLOWLY PROGRESSING TO THE EAST.
INTENSITY OF THE CONVECTION HAS WANED OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS...AND
BASED ON LATEST TREND TOWARD ELEVATED CONVECTION IN VICINITY OF THE
FRONT WILL GO AHEAD AND CANCEL THE TORNADO WATCH THAT WAS IN EFFECT
ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA. THE RISK FOR LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL THAT COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING APPEARS TO BE LIMITED TO
FAR SOUTHERN ZONES LOOKING AT 00Z HI-RES WRF OUTPUT...AND WILL TRIM
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH BACK TO THESE AREAS WITH THIS MORNINGS PACKAGE.
BASED ON LATEST TRENDS THE RISK FOR LINGERING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE CONFINED EAST OF I-55 BY 8-9AM...WITH MOST
OF THE ACTIVITY PASSING EAST INTO AL BY 12-2PM. NORTH WINDS WILL BE
A BIT BREEZY TODAY IN WAKE OF THE FRONT...AND NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN
THE WAY OF SUNSHINE AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS TRAPPED BELOW
SUBSIDENCE ALOFT. COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED WITH HIGHS
STRUGGLING TO REACH THE UPPER 50S ACROSS THE DELTA-UPPER 60S
SOUTHEAST. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT...AND WHILE MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF A FEW AREAS NORTH OF I-20 SAW SOME SPRINKLES...ESPECIALLY
AFTER MIDNIGHT.
THURSDAY WILL BE UNEVENTFUL AS NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BECOMES
ESTABLISHED OVER THE DEEP SOUTH...AND HIGH PRESSURE PASSES TO OUR
SOUTH. A WEAK DISTURBANCE MAY BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO FAR NORTHERN
ZONES LATE IN THE DAY AND OVERNIGHT HOWEVER ONLY VERY LIGHT(IF ANY)
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL
FOR HIGHS...HOWEVER A RETURN OF SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL RETURN
OVERNIGHT LOWS TO NEAR NORMAL FRIDAY MORNING. /BK/
.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)...MODELS CONTINUE TO
HIT ON A COUPLE OF DISTURBANCES THAT WILL AFFECT THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH THE MID AND EXTENDED PORTIONS OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST
PERIOD. THE FIRST WILL BE FRIDAY EVENING AS A SUBTLE DISTURBANCE
EMBEDDED IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DIVES SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE REGION.
MODELS INDICATE THAT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY IN PLACE AS THE
DISTURBANCE ROLLS THROUGH FOR SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS...AND EVEN A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS...TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY NIGHT.
THIS SYSTEM QUICKLY EXITS THE CWA SATURDAY MORNING WITH SKIES
CLEARING BY THE AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY BUILDS SOUTHEAST
INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST
OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT WHILE UPPER RIDGING ALOFT BUILDS EAST ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES.
SOUTHERLY FLOW ENSUES ON SUNDAY AND CONDITIONS LOOK TO RAPIDLY WARM
OVER THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE STILL BOTH SOME
TIMING AND TRACK DIFFERENCES IN THIS NEXT SYSTEM...IT APPEARS THAT
SOMETIME DURING THE MONDAY/TUESDAY PERIOD...A STRONG STORM SYSTEM
WILL MAKE A RUN ON THE FORECAST AREA. WHILE THERE ARE SOME
DIFFERENCES IN EACH MODELS' SOLUTION...BOTH THE GFS AND THE EUROPEAN
MODEL ARE RATHER IMPRESSIVE WITH THEIR SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM. WHILE THIS IS STILL SEVERAL DAYS
OUT...I'LL KEEP THE CURRENT BLURB IN THE HWO CONCERNING THE SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL WITH THIS SYSTEM NEXT MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
AFTER THIS SYSTEM PUSHES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. /19/
&&
.AVIATION...A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MARCH ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS THIS
MORNING. THE CHANCE FOR SHRA/TSRA WILL PASS EAST OF THE I-55 CORRIDOR
BY 14Z...AND COMPLETELY OUT OF CENTRAL MS 17-19Z. THERES A CHANCE A
FEW SHWRS/TSTMS MAY PERSIST NEAR HBG UNTIL LATE AFTN...BUT THIS
REMAINS A BIT UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. NORTH WINDS WILL BECOME BREEZY
THIS MORNING AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT IN WAKE OF THE
FRONT. GUSTS TO 20KTS WILL BE PSBL THRU THE AFTN. IN ADDITION...LOW
LEVEL CLOUDS WILL NOT CLEAR OUT TODAY WITH WDSPRD MVFR/OCSNL IFR
CONDS PERSISTING THROUGH THE AFTN AND INTO TONIGHT. /BK/
