The radar
The Little Rock radar (KLZK), 143 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:17 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, 3.3 hours before the alert went out and 106 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 27, 9:24 PM CDT, 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 27, 9:24 PM CDT, 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 924 PM CDT SUN MAR 27 2011 .UPDATE... WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO PUSH ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH THIS EVENING DUE TO STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT NEAR THE 300K SURFACE. THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN CONFINED TO MAINLY NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND EAST CENTRAL ARKANSAS. MANY OF THESE CELLS HAVE BEEN PRODUCING SMALL HAIL...WITH LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS BEING REPORTED IN THE LITTLE ROCK AREA. THE SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE INDICATES MUCAPE VALUES OF 100-500 J/KG ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH...WITH VALUES IN EXCESS OF 500 OVER ECTRL ARKANSAS...AND 1000 IN SOUTHERN ARKANSAS. THE 00Z LZK SOUNDING SHOWS CAPE BEING GENERATED FROM ABOUT THE 770 MB LEVEL...SO QUITE ELEVATED AND LARGE HAIL IS THE ONLY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THE 700-1000 J/KG CAPE VALUES CAN MIGRATE INTO NORTHERN MS...BUT IF THEY DO THE LARGE HAIL THREAT WILL INCREASE. SPC SWO DY1 PLACES MUCH OF NORTHERN MS AND ECTRL AR UNDER SLIGHT RISK FOR LARGE HAIL. THIS ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AS ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE TRANSITIONS TO ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE. UPDATED THE GRIDS EARLIER TO MENTION SMALL HAIL AND TO BEEF UP THE THUNDER THREAT FOR THIS EVENING SO NOT ANTICIPATING ANOTHER ZONE UPDATE UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT. BORGHOFF && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 400 PM CDT SUN MAR 27 2011/ DISCUSSION...20Z SURFACE ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO PLACE A QUASI- STATIONARY BOUNDARY FROM THE SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC COAST BACK THROUGH THE GULF OF MEXICO NORTHERN COAST. MEANWHILE...WATER VAPOR/UPPER AIR PROFILER TRENDS SHOW A SHORTWAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED WITHIN NEARLY ZONAL TO SLIGHTLY SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS IS RESULTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS WITH ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES AS OF 3 PM CDT ARE IN THE 40S AT MOST LOCATIONS. PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL TONIGHT AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT ARE THE PREDOMINANT CHALLENGES IN THIS AFTERNOON/S FORECAST PACKAGE. SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...AS MENTIONED ABOVE A SHORTWAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED WITHIN NEARLY ZONAL TO SLIGHTLY SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TONIGHT. STEEP 700-500 MB LAYER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ALONG WITH 315-320K SURFACES INDICATING INCREASING ISENTROPIC ASCENT JUSTIFY CATEGORICAL POPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. SHORT TERM MODELS AND MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT TO PRODUCE SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-40 TONIGHT AND ADDED ISOLATED THUNDER TO THESE AREAS. HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE ALONG/SOUTH OF I-40 TONIGHT. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY MONDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BRING RAIN FREE WEATHER BACK TO THE MID SOUTH FOR MONDAY. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS WILL RETURN FOR TUESDAY AS THE FRONT ALONG THE GULF COAST MOVES BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MID SOUTH TUESDAY AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVE THROUGH THE MID SOUTH TUESDAY NIGHT. MODEST 500 MB HEIGHT FALLS...STEEP 700-500 MB LAYER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE PRODUCED BY THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF AN 100 KT 300 MB UPPER LEVEL JET...MOST UNSTABLE CAPE VALUES AVERAGING BETWEEN 1100-1300 J/KG ALL SUGGEST AN INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID SOUTH LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. MODELS INDICATE FAVORABLE SHEAR WILL BE PRESENT TO PRODUCE MINI-SUPERCELLULAR TYPE TORNADOES. HOWEVER...SEVERAL QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN ON THE QUALITY OF THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL PROFILE. AT THIS TIME THE AREA UNDER THE GREATEST THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SOUTH OF I-40 LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY NIGHT. WILL MENTION LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK BASED ON THESE LATEST MODEL TRENDS. LATER SHIFTS WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL AND THREATS AS THIS POSSIBLE EVENT DRAWS CLOSER. STAY TUNED... LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...12Z GFS/ECMWF LONG RANGE MODELS IN BETTER AGREEMENT THAN THE PAST FEW DAYS WITH THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEPARTS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WEDNESDAY AND AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS MOVES THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. AS A RESULT...RAIN CHANCES WILL GRADUALLY COME TO AN END WEDNESDAY AND RETURN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED TO RETURN FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
