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.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 5:13 PM CST, 4 hours 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
513 PM CST WED DEC 23 2015

.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

THERE ARE TWO AREAS OF GREATER SEVERE WEATHER CONCERN AS WE GO
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING.
THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR SIGNFICANT SEVERE THREAT INCLUDING STRONG
TORNADOES CONTINUES TO BE OVER NORTHERN MS EXTENDING INTO EXTREME
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS. THERE MAY BE SOME OPPORTUNITY TO
START TRIMMING THE SIGNIFICANT THREAT AREA IN THE HWO/GRAPHIC SOON
AND WILL REASSESS SHORTLY AS THE GREATER THREAT LOOKS A BIT MORE
CONFINED NOW IN THE ARKLAMISS. IN CONTRAST TO EARLIER
THINKING...WARM ADVECTION WAS SUFFICIENT TO ERODE THE CAP ENOUGH FOR
DEEP CONVECTION IN THE PINE BELT REGION THIS AFTN AND THIS AREA HAS
RECENTLY BEEN A MORE ACTIVE STORM AREA. EXPECT THE SEVERE THREAT TO
LINGER IN THIS AREA AS WE GO INTO THE EARLY EVENING. ELSEWHERE...THE
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS STEADILY DIMINISHING NOW THAT WE ARE
APPROACHING SUNSET AND THE WINDOW FOR MAX INSTABILITY IS BEGINNING TO
CLOSE.

AS WE GO THROUGH LATER TONIGHT AND INTO CHRISTMAS EVE...THE CHANCE
FOR SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL DIMINISH AS LIFT DECREASES AND LOW
LEVEL FLOW VEERS...BUT THERE MAY BE A GREATER CONCERN FOR LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL AS MODELS HAVE BEEN SHOWING A SIGNAL FOR TRAINING
CONVECTION IN WHAT SHOULD BE MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL AND DEEP SOUTHWEST
FLOW. IT LOOKS LIKE ANY SUCH TRAINING WOULD OCCUR IN NARROW BANDS
AND CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW ON WHERE THESE MIGHT SET UP OTHER THAN TO
SAY IT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE OVER CENTRAL INTO EASTERN MS. IN
ADDITION...THERE IS CONCERN FOR FOG POTENTIAL WHERE WINDS DECREASE
AND COOLING OF THE MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER TAKES PLACE...AND THIS SEEMS
TO BE SETTING UP FOR AREAS ALONG AND NW OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY.

GOING INT CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT...LIFT AND INSTABILITY WILL START TO
RAMP UP OVER THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA AND WE SHOULD SEE THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL SHIFT THERE LATE IN THE NIGHT. IN
FACT...FORECASTED STEEP MID/UPPER LEVEL LAPSE RATES ~7.5 DEG C/KM
AND SHIP VALUES NEAR 1.0 LOOK SUPPORTIVE OF HAIL POTENTIAL WITH
INITIAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND
AT LEAST A MARGINAL SEVERE THREAT WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR THE
NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE. /EC/

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...FRIDAY MORNING OUR FLOW ALOFT
WILL BE BACKING TO THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST IN RESPONSE TO A DEEPENING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. SURFACE RIDGING FROM THE
ATLANTIC WILL BE NOSING BACK ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES. THIS WILL
HELP THE OLD STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO CONTINUE MOVING BACK NORTH
AS A WARM FRONT AND SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION FRIDAY. THE WARM
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR AT SUNRISE AND
BE JUST NORTHWEST OF OUR CWA BY NOON FRIDAY. THIS WILL PLACE
OUR WHOLE CWA BACK IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH PWATS GREATER THAN AN INCH
AND A HALF AND SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.
GREATEST POPS WL BE CARRIED OVER OUR NORTHWEST ZONES FRIDAY BUT
THERE WL BE A CHANCE FOR RAIN AREAWIDE DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY.
AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL BE MUCH WARMER THAN NORMAL TOPPING OUT FROM THE
MID 70S NORTH TO THE LOWER 80S SOUTH. NORMAL HIGHS RUN FROM THE
LOWER 50S NORTH TO THE LOWER 60S SOUTH. THE DEEPENING UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WILL CLOSE OFF OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST BY NOON SATURDAY AND SWING EAST TO THE TEXAS BIG BEND
REGION BY NOON SUNDAY. MODELS STILL DIFFER WITH THE TRACK OF THE
CLOSED LOW SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WITH THE GFS BEING THE MOST
PROGRESSIVE AND FASTEST BRINGING THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ACROSS
OUR CWA SUNDAY NIGHT. THE ECMWF IS THE SLOWEST WITH THE CLOSED LOW
AND BRINGS THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR CWA MONDAY NIGHT.
HAVE GONE CLOSER TO THE CANADIAN THROUGH SUNDAY AND MAINTAINED SOME
CONTINUITY FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH MONDAY BEING THE FROPA
AND MAIN RAIN DAY. MUCH WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH MOSTLY
DIURNALLY DRIVEN RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
IT APPEARS THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS OVER OUR CWA
MONDAY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR
IS EXPECTED TO BE BACK OVER OUR CWA TUESDAY. /22/
