The radar
The Ft Campbell radar (KHPX), 95 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:23 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 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
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 11.4 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
550 PM CDT MON AUG 12 2013
.UPDATE...
UPDATED TO ADD FLASH FLOOD WATCH AND INCREASE POPS TONIGHT ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE MID SOUTH.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS DEVELOPED ALONG A CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM OVERNIGHT STORMS IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THESE
STORMS ARE MOVING INTO AN AREA OF MODERATE INSTABILITY...WITH
MLCAPE VALUES AROUND 3500 J/KG...AND HIGH ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE
CONTENT (PWATS > 2 INCHES). ANY STORMS EARLY THIS EVENING MAY
PRODUCE ISOLATED STRONG TO DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL. THIS CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN AIDED BY A MID
LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING EAST ACROSS THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY. THIS SHORTWAVE SHOULD MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE CURRENT
CONVECTION HELPING TO STALL THE CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY ALONG OR JUST
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40. THIS WOULD ALLOW CONVECTION TO TRAIN ALONG
THE BOUNDARY AND SET UP THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF
RAINFALL AND AN INCREASING FLASH FLOOD THREAT. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR TONIGHT MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
40 WHERE THE BOUNDARY SHOULD STALL. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE
LATEST SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE.
AREA POPS AND QPF HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO REFLECT THE LATEST AND
EXPECTED PATTERN. UPDATED ZONES...GRIDS...AND HWO WILL BE SENT OUT
SHORTLY.
JLH
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 402 PM CDT MON AUG 12 2013/
DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...THE WEATHER PATTERN IS GOING
TO CHANGE FINALLY. THE BOUNDARY THAT HAS AFFECTED OUR AREA FOR THE
LAST SEVERAL DAYS HAS PUSHED NORTH AND SLIGHTLY WEST. WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION IS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE ALONG THIS FRONT THIS
AFTERNOON WHICH IS BEING AIDED BY A SHORTWAVE PUSHING THE
CONVECTION EAST INTO OUR AREA. THE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL FINALLY
BEGIN TO SHIFT TO A MORE PROGRESSIVE NORTHWESTERLY COMPONENT THIS
EVENING...AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
WILL BEGIN TO TRACK SOUTH. THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL ALLOW A SERIES
OF SHORTWAVES TO MOVE THROUGH OUR AREA TOMORROW. AS THE LONGWAVE
TROF DIGS DEEPER ON TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...A COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO PUSH ALL THE WAY THROUGH OUR REGION. TIMING OF THE
FRONT WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING WITH
THE COOLEST AIR MOVING IN OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO BE SEASONABLY COOL WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID TO
UPPER 80S.
AS THIS LINE OF STORMS MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING...AREAS THAT HAVE
RECEIVED LARGE AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION TODAY AND YESTERDAY MAY
NEED A FLOOD WATCH/ADVISORY.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...FRIDAY WILL BE ANOTHER NICE
COOL AND DRY DAY. STARTING ON SATURDAY...MODELS HAVE BEEN HINTING
AT A CUTOFF LOW DEVELOPING FROM THE LONGWAVE TROF ON SATURDAY. IF
THIS HAPPENS...WE WILL REMAIN IN A COOL AND WET PATTERN FOR THE
WEEKEND AND AND INTO THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. NOT A LOT OF
CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO THOUGH...AS MODELS ALWAYS HAVE A
DIFFICULT TIME WITH THIS TYPE OF PATTERN.
AC3
&&
.AVIATION...
18Z TAF SET
SHRAS/TSRAS ARE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING ACROSS PORTIONS OF WEST
TENNESSEE NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI AT THIS TIME.
MODELS SHOW THIS ACTIVITY PUSHING EAST THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL
ACTIVITY WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA THAT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THUS HAD NO CHOICE TO
MENTION VCTS WITH VARIOUS TEMPO GROUPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO
EARLY EVENING HOURS. EXPECT THERE TO BE A BREAK IN COVERAGE LATER
THIS EVENING WITH REDEVELOPMENT OCCURRING SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT
ALONG A COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH DOWN INTO THE CWA.
CIGS AND VSBYS WILL BE TEMPORARILY LOWERED TO MVFR CONDITIONS
UNDERNEATH THE STRONGER TSRAS...OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL. LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
