Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
354 PM CDT TUE APR 29 2014

...SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO
THE EVENING...

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)...

RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR THIS EVENING IS ON TRACK...BUT BY THIS
EVENING THE RISK WILL BE CONFINED TO AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY AS A COOL FRONT BEGINS CROSSING THE REGION
FROM THE NW. WILL NOT BE MAKING ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE

POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA. LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE FURTHER
NORTH AND EAST TOWARD THE NATCHEZ TRACE AND WILL KEEP THESE RISKS
HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWO/GRAPHICS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ACROSS
EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN MS WILL ALSO REMAIN POSSIBLE AND WILL KEEP
FLASH FLOOD WATCH INTACT AS IS.

GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW THE MAIN LINE OF ACTIVITY PUSHING OUT OF
THE FA BETWEEN 9 PM AND MIDNIGHT WITH THE COOL/DRY AIR ASSOCIATED
WITH THE COOL FRONT FILTERING ACROSS THE FA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE NIGHT. TOMORROW LOOKS TO BE A PLEASANT DAY...WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES ONLY REACHING THE UPPER 60S ACROSS NW ZONES TO THE
UPPER 70S FURTHER SOUTHEAST. THE CUT-OFF UPPER CYCLONE OVER THE
UPPER MS VALLEY WILL NOT MAKE MUCH HEADWAY UNTIL THU WHEN IT WILL
FINALLY EJECT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. WITH DRY SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THE CHANCE FOR RAIN
REMAINS MINIMAL THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...DESPITE A DIGGING S/WV
TROF ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL
BELOW NORMAL ON THU BEFORE A WARMING TREND COMMENCES FRI. /BK/

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...

BY THE WEEKEND...MORE RIDGING WILL DEVELOP WITH A STEADY MOISTENING
WITH TIME AS SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS. TEMPS WILL TREND WARMER WITH
SAT COMING IN NEAR NORMAL AND THE SUN-TUE PERIOD BEING ABV AVG. AN
OVERALL DRY AIRMASS WILL KEEP PRECIP CHANCES IN CHECK WITH NO PRECIP
CHANCES FOR THE MED RANGE. /CME/

&&

.AVIATION...+TSRA AFFECTING KHBG PERIODICALLY THIS AFTN BRINGING
BRIEF IFR CONDS DUE TO VIS RESTRICTIONS. CONDS SHOULD IMPROVE OVER
NEXT COUPLE HOURS BUT MORE TSRA XPCTD FOR THIS SITE ALONG WITH VCTS
FOR KMEI/KGTR/JAN/HKS THROUGH EARLY TO LATE AFTN FARTHER EAST. TSRA
COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE AT TIMES WITH TURBULENCE, HAIL, AND STRONG
WINDS INVOF STORMS. STORM TOPS WILL REACH UPWARDS OF 50 KFT. STORMS
WILL MOVE EAST OF ALL SITES BY LATE TONIGHT AS COOL FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. NW WINDS OF 5-10 KT WILL OCCUR OVERNIGHT WITH VFR CONDS
