The radar
The Columbus AFB radar (KGWX), 102 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 19:51 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 12:00Z, 7.9 hours before the alert went out and 140 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.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1006 AM CDT FRI JUL 6 2012/
DISCUSSION...
SKIES ARE MOSTLY CLOUDY ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI WITH
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA.
TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S. ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING ACROSS NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AT THIS
TIME. ADDITIONAL ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE ON TARGET
FOR NOW BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THEY REMAIN A COUPLE OF
DEGREES COOLER THAN EXPECTED. NO ADDITIONAL UPDATES ARE NEEDED AT
THIS TIME.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 807 AM CDT FRI JUL 6 2012/
DISCUSSION...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. WILL UPDATE FORECAST TO INCLUDE 20
POPS FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA FOR TODAY.
ARS
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 621 AM CDT FRI JUL 6 2012/
DISCUSSION...
THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE
MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE WEATHER
OVER THE MID SOUTH TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY. VERY HOT TEMPERATURES
CAN ONCE AGAIN BE EXPECTED TODAY WITH MOST AREAS RISING INTO THE
LOWER 100S WITH THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS
WHICH ARE CLOSEST TO THE RIDGE CENTER.
ANOTHER MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE SHOULD APPROACH SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE MID SOUTH TONIGHT ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER
RIDGE. THIS MAY LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TONIGHT WITH THE GREATEST CHANCES ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.
MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL AGAIN BE PRESENT WITH SBCAPE VALUES
BETWEEN 1000-2000 J/KG AND LI/S TO -6C. ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP IN
THIS HIGHER CAPE/LOW SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WITH INVERTED V SOUNDINGS
WILL POSE A THREAT FOR STRONG TO DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. OVERALL
COVERAGE AND CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION IS STILL SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION
AND WILL DEPEND UPON COLD POOL ORGANIZATION.
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF
OF THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD ONCE AGAIN RISE
TO NEAR 100 DEGREES OVER NORTHERN AREAS. WEAKER RIDGING OVER
SOUTHERN SECTIONS SHOULD AGAIN BE CONDUCIVE FOR SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THIS PATTERN AND
DEGREE OF EXPECTED INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR THE
POTENTIAL FOR MICROBURST WINDS IN ANY PULSE SEVERE STORM THAT
DEVELOPS. A HIGH CAPE/LOW SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WILL PERSIST.
THE UPPER RIDGE SHOULD BREAK DOWN AREAWIDE BY SUNDAY AS A STRONGER
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE PUSHES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS
SHOULD ALLOW FOR INCREASED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. ONCE AGAIN...A HIGH CAPE/LOW SHEAR
ENVIRONMENT WILL SUPPORT A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH A WET
MICROBURST/DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL. THE INCREASED CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE SHOULD HELP TO KEEP TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY COOLER /LOWER
TO MIDDLE 90S/ ACROSS THE MID SOUTH.
THIS SHOULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A MUCH NEEDED PATTERN CHANGE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THE UPPER RIDGE SHOULD BE REPLACED BY
BROAD UPPER TROUGHING AND WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. A COLD FRONT
INITIALLY OVER THE OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE
FORECAST AREA ON MONDAY. THIS FRONT SHOULD MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH
THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE STALLING OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AND HOPEFULLY SOME MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL AND RELIEF
FROM THE INTENSE HEAT. THERE WILL LIKELY BE CORRIDORS OF LIKELY
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BUT
UNCERTAINTIES IN THE MODEL GUIDANCE STILL PRECLUDE LIKELY POPS IN
THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY...LIKELY POPS MAY BE
INTRODUCED IN LATER FORECASTS ONCE FAVORED AREAS ARE IDENTIFIED.
A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS SHOULD RESIDE ALONG AND SOUTH OF
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH THE PERIOD...THEREFORE THERE WILL
LIKELY BE SOME POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF
LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEVERAL
DEGREES COOLER DUE TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL. THIS
PATTERN OF BETTER RAIN CHANCES AND COOLER TEMPERATURES SHOULD
PERSIST THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD.
