The radar

The Memphis radar (KNQA), 102 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:59 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 12:00Z, 11.0 hours before the alert went out and 65 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, Feb 4, 3:40 PM CST, 1 hour 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
340 PM CST TUE FEB 4 2014

.DISCUSSION...
ACTIVE WINTER DAY OVER PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH...WITH SIGNIFICANT
ICING UNDERWAY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40... AND OVER THE MS RIVER
DELTA SOUTHWEST OF MEMPHIS.

AT MIDAFTERNOON... GOES WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A CLOSED UPPER
LOW OVER KS...LIFTING NORTHEAST. A DRYSLOT WAS EVIDENT...EXTENDING
ACROSS TX...NORTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN OZARK PLATEAU. KLZK RADAR
SHOWED THE BACK EDGE OF PRECIPITATION NEAR LITTLE ROCK. THIS
PRECIPITATION WAS OF LOWER INTENSITY THAN WHAT WAS OCCURING FURTHER
EAST TOWARD MEMPHIS. THIS MAIN BAND OF PRECIP...ALONG THE MS RIVER
AND SUPPORTED BY AN ELEVATED WARM CONVEYOR BELT...WAS ORIENTED
RIGHT ALONG THE 0C SURFACE ISOTHERM. THE ADVERTISED WARM UP INTO
THE UPPER 30S BY NAM SURFACE PROGS AND BY GFS/NAM MOS GUIDANCE
FAILED TO MATERIALIZE... DESPITE RELATIVELY HIGH WET BULB ZEROS.
SUFFICIENT ICING HAD OCCURRED OVER WESTERN AND NORTHERN SHELBY
COUNTY TO DOWN TREE LIMBS AND INTERRUPT POWER. SEE LATEST LSR
PRODUCT FOR COMPLETE LIST OF ICE DAMAGE REPORTS.

FOR THE EARLY EVENING...INCLUDING RUSH HOUR. HEAVIER RAIN WILL
LIFT EAST OF THE METRO...WITH TEMPS HOVERING NEAR FREEZING.
TRAVEL CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN ON THE EDGE OF PASSABLE AND
HAZARDOUS. TEMPS IN MEMPHIS SHOULD FALL BELOW FREEZING FOR GOOD
BY 7 TO 8 PM...WITH PRECIP ENDING DURING THAT PERIOD.

HAVE EXTENDED WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES THROUGH MIDNIGHT OVER ALL
BUT NORTHEAST AR... WHICH RUNS THROUGH 8 PM. BASED ON PRECIP
TRENDS...THESE HEADLINES MAY BE CANCELLED EARLY. SLICK ROADWAYS
WILL PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT.

FEW CHANGES FOR THE MID AND LATTER PORTION OF THE WORKWEEK.
MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR OVER THE CENTRAL MS RIVER VALLEY WILL SETTLE
INTO THE MIDSOUTH...KEEPING DAYTIME TEMPS 25 TO 30 DEGREES BELOW
DAYTIME NORMAL MAX TEMPS.

12Z GFS AND ECMWF WERE WEAKER WITH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND SYSTEM...
SHOWING MORE OF FAST MOVING OPEN WAVE. THERMAL PROFILES STILL
FAVORABLE FOR SNOW...BUT AMOUNTS AND COVERAGE WILL BE MORE LIMITED
THAN IT APPEARED EARLIER. WEEKEND TEMPS REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL.

PWB

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE

INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PRODUCING
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. FREEZING
RAIN AND SLEET STILL EXPECTED AT JBR UNTIL 05/01Z...THEN TAPERING
OFF TO FREEZING DRIZZLE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE ENDING.
OTHERWISE...REMAINING TAF SITES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN MOSTLY AS
RAIN TAPERING OFF TO A SHORT PERIOD OF DRIZZLE THIS EVENING. IFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD. A
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR TEMPORARY LIFR CONDITIONS INTO THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN TAFS AT THIS TIME
AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS. IFR CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE
TO MVFR CONDITIONS MAINLY AFTER 05/15Z. N/NE WINDS BETWEEN 5-10
KTS WILL GRADUALLY BACK NW TONIGHT.
