The radar

The Columbus AFB radar (KGWX), 25 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:37 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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, 3.6 hours before the alert went out and 172 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 Jun 15, 9:33 PM CDT, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 9:33 PM CDT, 1 hour 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
933 PM CDT WED JUN 15 2011

.UPDATE...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE
AND INTENSITY ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI THROUGH MIDNIGHT. ALL
WATCHES HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AND NO ADDITIONAL SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED. ABUNDANT GROUND MOISTURE LIGHT WINDS
AND CLEARING SKIES WILL RESULT IN PATCHY FOG
OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY WHERE HEAVY RAIN FELL. FORECAST LOOKS ON
TRACK.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 603 PM CDT WED JUN 15 2011/

CURRENTLY A GOOD PORTION OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA IS UNDER
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 7PM. HOWEVER CONVECTION HAS BEEN
STRUGGLING TO DEVELOP...DUE TO A COMBINATION OF WEAK LOW LEVEL
FORCING ALONG THE COLD FRONT...A STRENGTHENING CAP AT 850MB AND
EXITING SUPPORT FROM A SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE
RIVER VALLEYS. CURRENT CAPE VALUES IN THE WATCH AREA ARE HOWEVER
3500-4500 J/KG AS DEWPOINTS HAVE REMAINED IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.
INTERESTING TO SEE THE LATEST MODEL DATA FROM THE RUC AND SREF
BLOWING UP STORMS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN 19-21Z.
THE NAM AND GFS ALSO SHOW DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...BUT THE 12Z RUNS SHOWN WIDESPREAD CONVECTION OVER THE
MIDSOUTH THIS MORNING WHICH DID NOT PAN OUT. IF STORMS CAN BECOME
ORGANIZED THEY MAY TRAIN THROUGHOUT THE EVENING ACROSS NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI...WITH A LOCALIZED THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING. WILL MAKE
MENTION OF THAT IN THE HWO. OTHERWISE LATER THIS EVENING DRIER AIR
WILL MOVE INTO THE NORTHWEST CWA COUNTIES BEHIND THE FRONT WITH
LIGHT NORTHERLY BREEZES. THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL AGAIN BECOME
SLIGHTLY MORE NORTHWEST.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL LIFT BACK NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS A
SHORTWAVE DIVES SOUTHEAST OVER THE AREA. MODELS SHOW AN MCS
DEVELOPING ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI DROPPING SOUTH INTO THE REGION
BY MIDNIGHT. THUS HAVE ADDED POPS DURING THIS TIME FRAME. LEFT
POPS IN ACROSS NORTHWEST TENNESSEE ON FRIDAY AS THE FRONT LIFTS
THROUGH THIS REGION. HIGHS BOTH DAYS STILL APPEAR TO BE IN THE LOW
AND MID 90S...WITH HEAT INDICES APPROACHING 105 ON FRIDAY SOUTH OF
THE FRONT ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT OVERHEAD DURING
THIS PERIOD MAKING FOR A VERY HOT WEEKEND AND LITTLE TO NONE IN
ANY RAIN CHANCES. HAVE GONE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE MOS GUIDANCE WITH
HIGH TEMPS AS THE TREND FROM GUIDANCE HAS BEEN ON THE LOW SIDE.
TEMPERATURES WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 95-100 RANGE WITH HEAT INDICES
103-108F RANGE. A HEAT ADVISORY DURING THIS PERIOD SEEMS VERY
LIKELY. LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S AREA WIDE.

EXTENDED FORECAST INTO MIDDLE NEXT WEEK...SCENARIOS HAVE THE RIDGE
AXIS SHIFTING EAST INTO THE CAROLINAS AS A CUTOFF LOW EMERGES FROM
THE ROCKIES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS WOULD PLACE THE MIDSOUTH
IN AN UPPER LEVEL SOUTHWEST FLOW AND RETURN CHANCE FOR CONVECTION
AND THE PASSING OF A MIDWEST COLD FRONT. HAVE LEFT ONLY SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS IN FOR NOW AS THE RIDGE MAY BE HARDER TO BUDGE KEEPING
THE AREA DRY.
