The radar
The Little Rock radar (KLZK), 76 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 06:10 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
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 flash flood 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
Little Rock, AR (KLZK), launched 00:00Z, 6.2 hours before the alert went out and 135 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.

LEADING EDGE OF A LINE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS CURRENTLY...AS OF 06Z...STRETCH FROM ROUGHLY KJBR TO KTXK. THIS LINE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...ENOUGH TO AFFECT KPBF AND KLLQ. WHEN THIS OCCURS...KHRO AND POSSIBLY KBPK MAY SEE -RA END BUT AM NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE THAT AT THIS TIME. FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL VARY CONSIDERABLY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...ENOUGH SO THAT IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TIME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. AS SUCH...HAVE ESSENTIALLY PUT ALL TERMINALS DOWN INTO LOW-END MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. WILL MONITOR AND AMEND AS NECESSARY. EVENTUALLY THIS LINE WILL SHIFT BACK TO THE NORTH DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. THIS NORTHWARD SHIFT COULD BE ENOUGH TO TEMPORARILY END SHRA/TSRA CONDITIONS AT KLIT AND POINTS SOUTH...BUT WILL HAVE TO MODEL THIS INTO FUTURE TAF PACKAGES AS THIS WILL BE A NEAR TERM TIMING ISSUE. && PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 325 PM CDT SUN MAY 1 2011/ SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.
