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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Dec 28, 3:47 AM CST, 2 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 28, 3:47 AM CST, 2 hours 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
347 AM CST MON DEC 28 2015

.SHORT TERM...
MAIN CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE SEVERE WEATHER FROM ROTATING STORMS
AHEAD OF A SQUALL LINE AND A STRONG WIND SHIFT WITH SQUALL LINE
ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...MOVING EAST AROUND 35 MPH. REFER TO
LATEST TORNADO WATCH AND WIND ADVISORY FOR MORE DETAILS. THESE
HEADLINES WILL BE REMOVED IN A TIMELY MANNER THROUGHOUT THE
MORNING AFTER THE SQUALL CLEARS THE COUNTY/PARISH. GRADIENT WINDS
ARE A HEALTHY 25 TO 40 MPH

OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA DURING THE DAY WITH
COLD AIR ADVECTION FINALLY BRINGING MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES
TO THE REGION. WENT WITH MODEL CONSENSUS ON TEMPERATURE TRENDS
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

.LONG TERM...
CURRENT FRONTAL ZONE BECOMES STATIONARY IN TIME OVER THE CENTRAL
GULF OF MEXICO WITH A WAVE DEVELOPING ALOFT TO INDUCE A PERIOD OF
ISENTROPIC LIFT TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS A BETTER SURGE OF
COLD AIR PLUNGES SOUTHEAST. A STEADY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED ELEVATED
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD LAY NEARLY AN INCH OF RAINFALL OVER THE AREA
BY END OF DAY WEDNESDAY. COLDER AIR DIGS INTO THE REGION WITH
SOME MORNINGS POSSIBLY FLIRTING WITH FREEZE THIS WEEKEND IN THE
NORTHERN FRINGES OF THE FORECAST AREA. NEW YEAR'S EVE NIGHT SHOULD
BE DRY BUT CHILLY.

&&

.AVIATION...
SHORT-TERM IMPACTS ARE WITH TIMING OF SQUALL LINE CONVECTION AND
WIND SHIFT THROUGH TERMINALS FROM KMCB-KHDC EASTWARD THIS
MORNING...BETWEEN NOW AND 14Z. KBTR IS ALREADY POST-FRONTAL WITH
CEILINGS LIFTING TO MVFR AND LOW END VFR AND SPOTTY STRATIFORM
RAINFALL IN LAG FOR ANOTHER 1-2 HOURS. CONDITIONS AT OTHER
TERMINALS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR AND VFR CIGS POST-FRONTAL. SOME
CONSIDERATIONS TO LLWS IN THE FRONTAL ZONE.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG ONSHORE GRADIENT WINDS WILL ABATE WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS
MORNING. SQUALL GUSTS TO 50 KT POSSIBLE WITH WIND SHIFT...NEAR
MOUTH OF MS RIVER AROUND DAYBREAK AND EAST OF MS SOUND AND MS
COASTAL WATERS BEFORE 9 AM CST. THERE SHOULD BE A PERIOD OF
IMPROVEMENT BEFORE GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS DEVELOP AS COLD
AIR ADVECTION DEEPENS LATER TODAY...BUT LESS THAN CURRENT LEVELS.
STRONGER SURGE OF COLD AIR WILL LIKELY BRING STRONG NORTH WINDS TO
THE COASTAL WATERS WEDNESDAY...WHEN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED ONCE AGAIN.

&&

.DECISION SUPPORT...
DSS CODE....YELLOW.
DEPLOYED...NONE.
ACTIVATION...HIGH IMPACT AND COMMS DESKS.
ACTIVITIES...SEVERE WEATHER OPS FOR TORNADO WATCH AND WIND ADVISORY.
