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
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 00:00Z, 5.4 hours before the alert went out and 153 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.

.UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 918 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/
UPDATE...
THE HEAT REMAINS OF SERIOUS CONCERN OVERNIGHT AS A VERY WARM...IF
NOT HOT...NIGHT WILL OCCUR IN MANY LOCATIONS ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH.
THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CONSIDERING THE RECORD
BREAKING HEAT OF TODAY.
UPDATED TO RAISE POPS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF WEST TN AS
SMALL COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVES SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THIS
REGION THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE LITTLE CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE
EARLIER FORECAST.
A BROAD AND WEAK COLD FRONT EXTENDED JUST NORTH OF THE MIDSOUTH
THIS EVENING FROM SOUTHERN MO INTO SOUTHERN IL / IN WITH A SURFACE
TROUGH AND WEAK SURFACE CONVERGENCE ZONE SOUTH OF THE FRONT
PUSHING SOUTHWARD THROUGH NORTHEAST AR AND NORTHWEST TN. EXCESSIVELY
HOT AIR CONTINUED ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH WITH HEAT INDEX READINGS AT
MID EVENING STILL BETWEEN 100 AND 110 DEGREES IN MANY LOCATIONS.
SURFACE DEW POINTS WERE ALSO VERY HIGH RANGING FROM THE MID 70S TO
LOWER 80S. A SMALL COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS MANAGED TO DEVELOP
ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH AND WAS MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE
NORTHEAST CORNER OF WEST TN. AS THE FRONT AND SURFACE TROUGH
CONTINUE TO SAG SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT...ADDITIONAL SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY FROM NORTHEAST AR ACROSS THE MO
BOOTHEEL INTO PARTS OF WEST TN. SURFACE BASED CAPE WAS OFF THE
CHART ACROSS PARTS OF WEST TN WITH VALUES IN EXCESS OF 8000 J/KG.
HOWEVER...CAPPING ALOFT WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE OVERNIGHT WITH
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE JUST TOO STRONG TO ALLOW FOR MUCH
CONVECTION. HOWEVER...CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
OVERNIGHT MAINLY IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AREA. LOOKS LIKE ANY
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS OVERNIGHT...BUT
STRONG GUSTY WINDS NEAR 45 MPH CAN NOT BE RULED OUT.
UNFORTUNATELY...THE RAIN OVERNIGHT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE
MUCH RELIEF FROM THE HEAT. MANY LOCATIONS WILL FAIL TO DROP BELOW 80
DEGREES TONIGHT...AND THE MEMPHIS URBAN HEAT ISLAND MAY NOT DROP
BELOW 84 DEGREES ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE TEMPERATURE AT 9 PM
WAS 95 DEGREES. WITH THE EXTREME HEAT TODAY AND THE FAILURE FOR
OVERNIGHT LOWS TO DROP MUCH...THIS MAKES A HEAT WAVE POTENTIALLY
DEADLY SINCE THOSE WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING ARE UNDER PROLONGED
HEAT STRESS. THEREFORE...IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THOSE WITHOUT AIR
CONDITIONING TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO GET SOME RELIEF FROM
THE HEAT.
JCL
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 337 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/
CURRENTLY...A VERY DANGEROUS HEAT WAVE IS UNDERWAY ACROSS THE
MIDSOUTH. A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE COVERS THE REGION AND
TEMPERATURES HAVE SOARED WELL OVER 100 DEGREES ACROSS THE ENTIRE
MID SOUTH. MEMPHIS HAS ALREADY SET A DAILY RECORD OF 106 DEGREES
AND IS THREATENING THE ALL TIME AUGUST RECORD...107 DEGREES.
JONESBORO HAS ALSO HIT 106 DEGREES WHILE MOST OTHER SITES RANGE
FROM 100 TO 104 DEGREES. THE HEAT COMBINED WITH HIGH
HUMIDITY...DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S...IS CREATING HEAT INDEX VALUES
FROM 110 TO 120 DEGREES. SKIES CONTINUE TO BE SUNNY WITH LITTLE CU
DEVELOPMENT SO FAR.
TONIGHT...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH VERY
WARM LOW TEMPERATURES EXPECTED. IT COULD BE THE WARMEST NIGHT ON
RECORD IN MEMPHIS...CURRENT RECORD HIGH MINIMUM IS 84 DEGREES...OR
CLOSE. MUCH OF THE AREA WILL REMAIN AROUND 80 DEGREES. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN PARTS OF THE MID SOUTH OVERNIGHT.
MODELS CONTINUE SHOW THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT
LATE THIS AFTERNOON THAT COULD MOVE INTO THE MID SOUTH DURING THE
EVENING. IF ANYTHING CAN GET GOING THE AIRMASS ACROSS THE MID
SOUTH IS VERY UNSTABLE AND FAVORABLE FOR MICROBURSTS. A FEW SEVERE
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH DAMAGING WIND AS THE MAIN THREAT ACROSS
THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE MID SOUTH.
THURSDAY...THE FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE A LITTLE LOWER OVER THE NORTHERN HALF THOUGH STILL VERY
WARM. SOUTH OF THE FRONT TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE WELL
ABOVE 100 DEGREES. EVEN WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES OVER
PART OF THE AREA DEWPOINTS WILL POOL ALONG THE FRONT RESULTING IN
HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 110 TO 120 OVER MOST OF THE MID SOUTH. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE THE VERY NORTHERN TIER WHERE HEAT INDEX VALUES
BELOW 110. WILL GO WITH A HEAT ADVISORY NORTH OF A WALNUT RIDGE TO
DYERSBURG TO HUNTINGDON WITH AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT
EVERYWHERE ELSE. EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL PROVIDE A
LITTLE RELIEF TO THOSE LOCATIONS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE HIT BY ONE.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...THE WEAK FRONT WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA ON
FRIDAY AND LIFT BACK TO THE NORTH ON SATURDAY. MEANWHILE THE
UPPER RIDGE WILL WEAKEN SLIGHTLY AND RETREAT A LITTLE WESTWARD.
AS A RESULT...THOUGH IT MAY BE SLIGHTLY COOLER...THE HIGH HUMIDITY
WILL CONTINUE AND HEAT INDEX VALUES COULD SURPASS 110
DEGREES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN 2/3RDS OF THE AREA. 110
DEGREES IS MORE QUESTIONABLE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. WILL CONTINUE
WITH A EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR FRIDAY AND EXTEND IT THROUGH
SATURDAY. THE FRONT IN THE AREA COMBINED WITH A SLIGHTLY WEAKER
UPPER RIDGE WILL RESULT IN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED...MAINLY
AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
SUNDAY...SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO SATURDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE
CONTINUES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. EXPECT MORE HOT AND HUMID
WEATHER. HEAT ADVISORIES...WATCHES OR WARNINGS MAY NEED TO BE
EXTENDED. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS WELL.
MONDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA AND THE UPPER RIDGE
WILL WEAKEN AND RETREAT FURTHER WEST. THIS WILL HELP RELIEVE THE
HEAT ACROSS THE REGION. SOUTHERN AREAS MAY STILL STILL NEED A HEAT
ADVISORY...THOUGH THIS WOULD BE THE LAST DAY. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES CONTINUE AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THE COLD FRONT MOVES TO THE SOUTH AND THE
REGION BECOMES DOMINATED BY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS WILL RESULT
IN COOLER...MORE SEASONABLE HIGH TEMPERATURES. COULD SEE SOME MCS
DEVELOPMENT DURING THIS PERIOD SO WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS.
SJM

AVIATION...
.AVIATION...
06Z TAF SET
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF KMEM AND KTUP
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY WITH THE BEST CHANCES EXPECTED LATE IN
THE AFTERNOON INTO MID EVENING. THUS HAD ADDED CB LAYER AT THAT
TIME FOR KJBR...KMEM...AND KTUP. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE DEGREE OF
INSTABILITY OVER THE REGION A FREAK STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT
ANYTIME.
CIGS WILL REMAIN VFR WITH TEMPO MVFR VIS EXPECTED AT KMKL NEAR
SUNRISE. WINDS WILL BE WESTERLY SOUTH OF THE FRONT TURNING
EASTERLY TO THE NORTH.
