The radar
The Columbus AFB radar (KGWX), 40 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 09:09 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 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
Little Rock, AR (KLZK), launched 00:00Z, 9.1 hours before the alert went out and 171 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.

$$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 Mar 26, 3:21 AM CDT, 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 26, 3:21 AM CDT, 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 321 AM CDT SAT MAR 26 2011 .DISCUSSION... CURRENTLY...ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO FORM ACROSS THE MID SOUTH TO THE NORTH OF A WARM FRONT THAT IS LOCATED FROM THE ARKLATEX EAST INTO NORTH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. A 30 KT 850 MB JET IS IMPINGING UPON THE FRONT HELPING TO CREATE THE LIFT AND TRANSPORT THE MOISTURE NECESSARY FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. MEANWHILE STEEP MID LEVEL RATES ARE HELPING A FEW STORMS BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AS THE MAIN THREAT. TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING RANGE FROM AROUND 40 NEAR THE KENTUCKY/MISSOURI BORDER TO AROUND 60 ACROSS SOUTHERNMOST PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA NEAR THE FRONT. WINDS ARE GENERALLY NORTHEAST AT 10-15 MPH. TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE WARM FRONT WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI THIS MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE NORTH OF THE FRONT EARLY THIS MORNING THOUGH ACTIVITY MAY TAPER OFF SOME LATER THIS MORNING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET VEERS AND WEAKENS. THIS EARLY MORNING ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A ISOLATED LARGE HAIL THREAT. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER THE RED RIVER VALLEY WILL TRACK EAST TO THE ARKLATEX BY NOON AND THEN INTO SOUTHEAST AR LATE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE TRACKING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL MS THIS EVENING. THERE WILL BE A LARGE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH MID 40S IN RANDOLPH COUNTY AR TO LOWER TO MID 70S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES. BY AFTERNOON THE AIRMASS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT WILL DESTABILIZE WITH SBCAPES APPROACHING 2000 J/KG ACROSS THE SOUTHERNMOST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA INVOF THE FRONT. MEANWHILE AS THE LOW APPROACHES AND LOW LEVEL WINDS VEER 0-1KM HELICITY VALUES WILL CLIMB ABOVE 300 M2/S2 INVOF THE FRONT. MEANWHILE 0-6KM BULK SHEAR IS IMPRESSIVE AT OVER 50 KTS AND MID LEVEL WINDS WILL TOP 60 KTS OVER THE FRONTAL ZONE. AS THE LOW APPROACHES EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS COVERAGE TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA WITH SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE INVOF THE WARM FRONT. THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW FAR NORTH THE FRONT WILL GET WHICH WILL DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT OF RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW. BEST GUESS RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT INTO THE VERY SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA WHICH IS WHERE THE SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS SOUTH OF MEMPHIS TO SAVANNAH TN LINE. HAIL WILL BE A THREAT IN THE ENTIRE RISK AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WHILE DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE SOUTH OF A HELENA-WEST HELENA ARKANSAS TO BOONEVILLE MS LINE. THE SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK EAST INTO ALABAMA AROUND MIDNIGHT AND PRECIP CHANCES WILL TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST. MEANWHILE MUCH COOLER AIR WILL FILTER IN WITH TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE 30S AND 40S BY MORNING. SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL OOZE INTO THE AREA. EXPECT COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES THANKS TO COOL NORTHEAST WINDS. THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF LOW CLOUDS AROUND SO KEPT CLOUDS IN ALL DAY. SUNDAY NIGHT...LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS PERIOD. THE GFS IS STILL DRY. HOWEVER THE NAM AND ESPECIALLY THE ECMWF DEVELOP PRECIP ACROSS THE AREA THANKS TO A DECENT MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE THAT GFS SEEMS TO MISS. GIVEN THIS INFO DECIDED TO REINTRODUCE POPS FOR THE PERIOD. MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...COOL HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA AND SOME SUNSHINE IS POSSIBLE ON MONDAY WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES. TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...A POTENT MID LEVEL TROF WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WHILE A COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE MID SOUTH. WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WATCH THE SEVERE THREAT WITH THIS SYSTEM WHICH WILL DEPEND OF THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE LOW. MODELS ARE NOT IN THE BEST AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF THE LOW SO WILL CONTINUE TO LEAVE OUT OF THE HWO FOR NOW. WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...COOL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND SOME SUNSHINE. THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...THE EXCELLENT AGREEMENT FOUND IN THE MODELS 24 HOURS AGO IS HISTORY. THE GFS STILL HAS A SOLUTION THAT IS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS RUNS WITH A DEEP TROF MOVING INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG THE GULF COAST AND RAIN POSSIBLE FOR THE MID SOUTH. THE ECMWF HAS THE TROF AXIS FURTHER EAST WITH HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE MID SOUTH. WILL KEEP THE ONGOING CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE FORECAST BUT CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY LOW. FRIDAY...SHOULD BE DRY AND COOL BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW. SJM && .AVIATION... 06Z TAFS FEW CHANGES FROM 00Z PACKAGE...OTHER THAN A SLIGHT DELAY IN MVFR CIGS IN THE SHORT TERM. ELEVATED TSRA STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. RAIN FALLING INTO THE COOL STABLE AIR WILL HELP REINFORCE THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION AND STRATUS. BY 12Z... EXPECT MVFR TO PREVAIL WITH POCKETS OF IFR CIGS. FOR SATURDAY... PERIODS OF RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE. BEST EARLY AFTERNOON TS POTENTIAL AT KTUP...WHICH SHOULD BE JUST NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. MOST INTENSE/ORGANIZED TSRA SHOULD OCCUR OVER NORTHEAST MS AFTER 22Z... PERSISTING UNTIL 03Z OR SO SOUTH OF THE TUP VICINITY. PWB && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
