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 severe thunderstorm 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
Jackson, MS (KJAN), launched 12:00Z, 10.0 hours before the alert went out and 120 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 21, 4:13 PM CDT, 49 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 413 PM CDT FRI AUG 21 2015 .DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE SLOWLY BEEN PROGRESSING NORTHWARD FROM THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE STORMS HAVE BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE GIVEN SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY THANKS TO DAYTIME HEATING AND A MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE. DEWPOINTS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA ARE IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S AND THE 12Z KJAN SOUNDING INDICATED A PW VALUE OF 1.9 INCHES. THIS WILL SUPPORT LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS IN ANY THUNDERSTORM. THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS IS FROM GUSTY WINDS GIVEN 30KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND 800-1000J/KG OF DCAPE. WHILE CURRENT RADAR TRENDS APPEAR AS THOUGH COVERAGE IS DWINDLING...THERE REMAINS THE CHANCE FOR AT LEAST SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO PUSH NORTH THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING. SOME SHOWERS MAY LINGER OVERNIGHT. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH THE REGION ON SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. THIS SHOULD BRING ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS TO ESPECIALLY THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS. ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES LOOK TO AFFECT THE ARKLAMISS REGION THIS WEEKEND AS THE CENTER OF THE UPPER RIDGE(THAT WAS OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF) SHIFTS FURTHER WEST AND THE CWA COMES UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS WILL KEEP SOME RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST AND TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE ARKLAMISS MONDAY AND TUESDAY. BEHIND IT...A 1018MB SFC HIGH WILL SHIFT SOUTH AND THIS WILL HELP USHER IN MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION. OVERNIGHT LOWS LOOK TO DIP INTO THE 60S AND HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 80S...WHICH MAY BE AN EARLY TASTE OF FALL. /28/ && .AVIATION...TSRA DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO BE A LITTLE SLOWER THAN EXPECTED WITH SEMI-ORGANIZED ACTIVITY JUST NOW MOVING UP INTO THE HBG AREA AND IT IS MORE QUESTIONABLE ON WHETHER IT WILL GET NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR. EXPECT ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH QUICKLY WITH SUNSET. CONFIDENCE IS SHAKY REGARDING IFR FOG/STRATUS POTENTIAL LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SAT MORNING - HAVE MOSTLY FOLLOWED A PERSISTENCE FORECAST TO THIS POINT. /EC/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
