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

Shreveport, LA (KSHV), launched 00:00Z, 7.1 hours before the alert went out and 155 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 SHREVEPORT LA
949 PM CDT WED JUN 5 2013

.DISCUSSION...
LIGHT NE WINDS ON THE SFC IN THE PARTS OF I-30 HAVE GONE CALM ON
THE SOME OF THE 03Z EARLY IN. OUR VAD SHOWS LIGHT NE FLOW IN THE 1
TO 3KFT LEVEL...SINCE THE SOUNDING. THE FRONT LOOKS TO BE STILL
TO OUR NORTH BASED ON DEW POINTS AND THERE ARE REMNANT OUTFLOWS
ALONG I-30 AND THE OTHER ALONG I-20 IN MAINLY LA. THE RADAR IS
SHOWING THE I-30 WEAK PUSH STILL DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS AT THIS
TIME WITH NEW ACTIVITY FEATHERING INTO COLUMBIA CO AND STILL OTHER
ENHANCED CU DOWN THE LINE INTO NE TX. WE WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS
THIS EVENING ALONG THIS FEATURE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE. NOW
AFTER MIDNIGHT THAT WILL START TO BEND BACK TO MORE PRODUCTIVE AS
THE FRONT SETTLES IN CLOSER TO THE I-30 CORRIDOR. WE HAVE KEEP
LIKELY IN AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT IT MAY BE MORE LIKE THE WEE HOURS
AND THROUGH SUNRISE AS THE NEXT BATCH OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPS IN
THE AREA AND IT WILL TAKE SOME ORGANIZATION IN THE PROCESS. MODELS
STILL LOOKING FAVORABLE FOR DECENT QPF TO DEVELOP IN THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS AND EARLY MORNING TIME FRAME. NO OTHER CHANGES TO TEMPS OR
SKY REALLY TO MENTION...BUT WE HAVE REINTERPOLATED TRENDS
OVERNIGHT FROM CURRENT READINGS. /24/

&&

.AVIATION...
MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED OVER SCNTRL AR THIS
EVENING...ALONG A WEAK SFC FRONT EXTENDS FROM JUST S OF THE RED
RIVER OVER EXTREME N TX...E INTO EXTREME SE OK INTO SW AND SCNTRL AR
N OF TXK TO NEAR A ADF/PBF LINE AS OF 02Z. THIS CONVECTION HAS SHOWN
A TENDENCY TO SLOWLY DRIFT S TOWARDS THE ELD TERMINAL OVER THE LAST
HOUR...WITH ISOLATED -SHRA HAVING ALSO RECENTLY DEVELOPED NEAR THIS
SFC BNDRY JUST NW OF MAGNOLIA. ADDITIONAL WIDELY SCT CONVECTION
SHOULD REDEVELOP ALONG THIS BNDRY THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT AND SLOWLY
DRIFT S...AFFECTING THE TXK/ELD TERMINALS AROUND/JUST PRIOR TO
06Z...AND POSSIBLY MLU PRIOR TO 12Z. SHOULD SEE AN INCREASE IN SCT
CONVECTION BY MID/LATE MORNING ACROSS E TX ALONG THE SWD DRIFTING
SFC FRONT...WITH THE CONVECTION BUILDING ESE INTO N LA BY AFTERNOON.
STILL HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF THIS MAINLY DISORGANIZED
CONVECTION...THUS WILL MAINTAIN VCTS FOR THE AFFECTED
TERMINALS...WITH THIS CONVECTION SINKING SSE AWAY FROM THE TXK/ELD
TERMINALS BY AFTERNOON. CAN/T RULE OUT LOCALLY REDUCED CIGS/VSBYS
AND GUSTY WINDS TO 35KTS IN THE STRONGER STORMS...WITH THIS
CONVECTION DIMINISHING FROM NW TO SE THURSDAY EVENING. A SCT CU
FIELD WITH ASSOCIATED CONVECTIVE DEBRIS SHOULD LINGER THROUGH THE
END OF THE TAF PERIOD...BEFORE SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR SPILLS S BEHIND
THE FROPA. LT/VRB WINDS TONIGHT WILL BECOME N 5-10KTS AFTER 15Z
BEHIND THE FRONT. /15/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 249 PM CDT WED JUN 5 2013/

DISCUSSION...
CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPED EARLIER ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
THE MCS THAT MOVED ACROSS OK EARLY THIS MORNING HAS MOSTLY
DISSIPATED...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A COUPLE OF ISOLD STORMS OVER N
CENTRAL LA/SRN AR.

DISTURBANCES IN NW FLOW ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY DRAPED ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER AS THE
BOUNDARY DIPS SWD OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER MCS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ACROSS CENTRAL OK AND MOVE SEWD INTO OUR REGION. DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS FROM SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE STORMS
MOVE SWD EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS IS
EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE MARGINAL AS THE FRONT CONTINUES SWD AND
THE DISTURBANCE MOVES INTO MS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. CONVECTION
SHOULD CLEAR THE SERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA BY FRIDAY MORNING.

VERY LITTLE CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS PACKAGE FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE FCST. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE IN NW FLOW IS EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY...BUT MODELS AGREE WITH LITTLE TO NO PRECIP
EXPECTED.

THE UPPER RIDGE IS FCST TO OVERTAKE THE SRN U.S. IN THE
EXTENDED...WHICH WILL LIKELY SEND TEMPS SOARING...ESPECIALLY IF
THE REGION DOESN'T GET A GOOD WETTING RAIN OUT OF THURSDAY'S
DISTURBANCE. /12/

AVIATION...
ISOLD CONVECTION REDEVELOPED EARLY THIS AFTN NEAR THE KELD AND KMLU
TERMINALS...INCREASING IN STRENGTH AS IT MOVED EAST INTO MS RIVER
VALLEY. FURTHER WEST ACROSS CWA...CAPPING INVERSION AROUND 800 MB
MAY KEEP CONVECTION FROM DEVELOPING IN OTHERWISE UNSTABLE AIRMASS.
HOWEVER...MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THRU AT LEAST
06/06Z...UNTIL COLD FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN PLAINS DIPS TO NEAR THE
I-30 CORRIDOR...WITH TSTM CHANCES INCREASING ACROSS KTXK AND
KELD...AND AREAWIDE BTWN 06/12Z AND 06/15Z. STG GUSTY WINDS MAY
OCCUR NEAR STORMS DURG THIS PERIOD. TSTM CHANCES SHOULD BEGIN TO
DIMINISH FROM THE NORTH BY LATE IN THE FCST CYCLE...WITH SFC WINDS
BECMG NW-N AT 5 TO 10 KTS./VII/
