The radar

The Little Rock radar (KLZK), 162 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:03 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 flash flood 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 (KBYH), launched 00:00Z, 0.0 hours before the alert went out and 146 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.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 4:04 PM CDT, 2 hours 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
404 PM CDT MON AUG 5 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...

ITS BEEN ANOTHER HOT AND HUMID DAY ACROSS WESTERN/NORTHWESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS SOUTH OF A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY DRAPED
NEAR THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE. CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEEN FOCUSED
GENERALLY ALONG/EAST OF THE HWY 49 CORRIDOR FURTHER FROM THE
INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE SPRAWLED OUT ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTHERN PLAINS. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL WANE WITH THE LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING ALTHOUGH A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY PERSIST
THROUGH 9-10PM ACROSS NORTHEASTERN AREAS. A STRONG STORM OR TWO
PRODUCING WIND GUSTS OF 40-50 MPH OR SO WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
FIRST PART OF THE EVENING.

A SIMILAR OVERALL SETUP WILL BE IN PLACE TOMORROW ALTHOUGH THE
AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY WILL HAVE RETREATED OFF TO OUR NE.
WESTERN/NORTHWESTERN AREAS LOOK TO GET QUITE WARM ONCE AGAIN/SIMILAR
TO TODAY/WHERE HEAT INDICES WILL LIKELY CLIMB ABOVE 105 DEGREES
DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY
FOR THESE AREAS THAT WENT INTO EFFECT THIS AFTERNOON SINCE WE'VE
ALREADY SEEN THESE CONDITIONS TODAY. OVERNIGHT...LOWS WILL STRUGGLE
TO GET TO 75 ALLOWING LITTLE RELIEF FROM THE HEAT. ITS VERY POSSIBLE
THE ADVISORY WILL NEED TO BE EXTENDED THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK AS H5
HEIGHTS RISE AND SFC MOISTURE REMAINS HIGH. SHOWERS/STORMS TOMORROW
LOOK TO BE CONFINED ACROSS AREAS EAST OF THE MS RIVER ON THE
PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE ALTHOUGH THE BEST COVERAGE MAY END UP
BEING ALONG/E OF I-55. JUST LIKE TODAY A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION AND WILL ADD THIS POTENTIAL TO THE AFTERNOON HWO.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE TIED TO DIURNAL HEATING AND IS EXPECTED TO
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. REALLY NOT A WHOLE LOT OF CHANGE HEADED INTO WED
WITH THE BEST DIURNAL STORM COVERAGE ALONG/E OF I-55 DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

ONLY DIVERGENCE FROM GFS MOS WAS FOR TOMORROW WHERE HIGHS WERE
ADJUSTED DOWN A TAD EAST OF I-55...OTHERWISE GUIDANCE VALUES LOOKED
REASONABLE. /BK/

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...

AS THE RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE FORECAST AREA LATER THIS WEEK...DIURNAL
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WILL DECREASE AND BE MOSTLY CONFINED TO THE
EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE ARKLAMISS. ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WOULD
LIKELY DISSIPATE QUICKLY BY EARLY EVENING GIVEN PRESENCE OF THE MID
LEVEL RIDGE AND POOR MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. MODELS INDICATE SOME
SUPPRESSION/BREAKDOWN OF THE RIDGE AS WE GO LATER IN THE WEEK AND
INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS COULD ALLOW A SURFACE BOUNDARY TO PUSH A
LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH TOWARD NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
AND RESULT IN INCREASED MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVNG THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY FOR NORTHERN/EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. IN
ADDITION...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSING THE GULF OF MEXICO COULD
INCREASE DIURNAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FOR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
ARKLAMISS THIS WEEKEND. INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND CONVECTION MAY HELP
TO TEMPER HEAT STRESS. /EC/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT MOST LOCATIONS TODAY AND
TONIGHT. CIGS/VSBY IN THE VICINITY OF SCT TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BRIEFLY LOWER TO IFR/MVFR
LEVELS. THE PRIMARY LOCATION OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BE ALONG AND
EAST OF I-55 WITH MOST ACTIVITY ENDING BY 03Z. BRIEF DOWNPOURS CAN
ALSO BE EXPECTED THROUGH 03Z. PATCHES OF FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER
08Z. LCL MVFR VSBYS CAN BE EXPECTED IN FOG THROUGH 14Z.
