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.

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 26, 6:56 PM CDT, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.

.UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR AVIATION.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 352 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2011/
DISCUSSION...
..SIGNIFICANT AND LIKELY PROTRACTED SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK ABOUT
TO UNFOLD ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH....
AT DISCUSSION TIME... THUNDERSTORMS HAD DEVELOPED ALONG ALONG A
WARM FRONT EXTENDING NORTHEAST FROM THE ARKLATEX... ACROSS SOUTHERN
AR... INTO NORTHWEST TN. RELATIVELY CLEAR SKIES OVER THE ARKLAMISS
AND NORTHERN MS LED TO MUCAPES IN EXCESS OF 4000 J/KG. SHEAR WAS
MARGINAL... WITH 3KM HELICITY VALUES OF 150 M2/S/2. THIS SHEAR
SHOULD INCREASE MARKEDLY THROUGH SUNSET... WITH THE DEEPENING OF A
SURFACE LOW ALONG THE FRONT OVER SOUTHERN AR. THIS DEEPENING SURFACE
LOW WILL FORM IN RESPONSE TO COUPLED UPPER LEVEL JET WHICH WILL
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE OVER CENTRAL AND
EASTERN AR. DESPITE THE INITIALLY MARGINAL SHEAR... LARGE CAPES
WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR STORM ROTATION AND A TORNADO THREAT LATE
THIS AFTERNOON.
THE CHANCES FOR STRONG... LONG TRACKED TORNADOES WILL INCREASE
THROUGH THE EVENING...AS LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES RAMP UP IN
EXCESS OF 500 M2/S2...ACCOMPANIED BY MUCAPE IN NEAR OR IN EXCESS
OF 3000 J/KG...AND RELATIVELY LOW LCL VALUES.
SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
18Z NAM BRINGS THE WARM FRONT ROUGHLY ALONG THE MS RIVER BY
06Z...1 AM CDT. INITIAL SURFACE WAVE AND ASSOCIATED INCREASED
TORNADO RISK WILL HAVE MOVED UP THE ARKANSAS DELTA TO WESTERN KY
BY 06Z...WHILE ANOTHER FRONTAL WAVE DEVELOPS OVER SOUTHEAST AR.
THIS LATTER SURFACE WAVE AND ASSOCIATED ENHANCED TORNADO THREAT IS
PROGGED TO LIFT ACROSS NORTHERN MS AND THE TN RIVER VALLEY DURING
THE OVERNIGHT.
THE 18Z NAM IS SLOWER BRINGING THE MAIN MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE AND
SURFACE TROF THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY. A 994MB SURFACE LOW IS PROGGED
TO LIFT FROM NEAR FT SMITH AR AT 15Z...TO NORTHEAST AR BY 21Z.
THIS SLOWER SOLUTION WOULD EXTEND THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT
FURTHER IN TIME THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A HEIGHTENED TORNADO RISK MAY
BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHWARD MOVING WARM FRONT...AS IT LIFTS
NORTH THROUGH THE I40 CORRIDOR IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON. A SQUALL
LINE WILL LIKELY TAKE SHAPE DEEPER INTO THE WARM SECTOR OVER
NORTH OR NORTHEAST MS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...IN RESPONSE TO AN 80KT
MIDLEVEL REAR INFLOW JET ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROF. THE
18Z NAM AND 12Z ECMWF CONTINUED TO GOOD AGREEMENT...LEADING TO
INCREASED FORECAST CONFIDENCE.
MAIN UPPER TROF WILL LIFT INTO SOUTHEAST MO BY 06Z THURSDAY. MAY
SEE A FEW SHOWERS OR SUB SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY EVENING
NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF MEMPHIS.
FEW CHANGES IN THE EXTENDED. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF BRING A SLOW
MOVING FRONT THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH THIS WEEKEND. HAVE MADE SOME
TIMING ADJUSTMENTS...BUT OTHERWISE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.
PWB
&&
.AVIATION...
00Z TAFS
NUMEROUS CLUSTERS OF SEVERE TSRA WERE HEADED EXTENDED OVER THE
ARKANSAS DELTA... NORTHEAST THROUGH MEM. THESE WILL AFFECT THE
TERMINAL THROUGH 01Z TO 02Z. ADDITIONAL STORMS OVER SOUTHERN AR
WILL LIKELY MOVE INTO THE DELTA... AND MAY HAVE TO AMEND TAF TO
ACCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL STORMS IN THE 02Z TO 05Z TIME FRAME.
