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, May 24, 12:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
1245 PM CDT SUN MAY 24 2015

.AVIATION...
SOUTHERLY FLOW HAS BROUGHT MOISTURE BACK TO ARKANSAS. ATMOSPHERE
WILL CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS ACROSS THE AREA. SOUTH WINDS WILL BE GUSTY
AND GUST TO 25 KTS OR MORE. EXPECT WIND SHEAR AT LIT. RAIN WILL
CONTINUE TONIGHT AND END TOWARD DAYBREAK. VFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 651 AM CDT SUN MAY 24 2015/

AVIATION...24/12Z TAF CYCLE

SCTD SHRA/TSRA WL BE NOTED ACRS THE AREA THIS MRNG...ALONG WITH
OCNL STRATUS. THIS WL RESULT IN MAINLY VFR/MVFR CONDS. CONVECTION
WL BCM MORE WIDESPREAD ACRS AR THIS AFTN AND TNGT...WITH CONDS
DETERIORATING. PRIMARILY EXPECT MVFR CONDS BY THAT TIME...WITH IFR
CIGS/VSBYS WHERE STRONGER STORMS OCCUR. BREEZY S/SELY SFC WINDS WL
ALSO BE COMMON THRU MUCH OF THE PD. /44/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 443 AM CDT SUN MAY 24 2015/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT BROUGHT WIDESPREAD
RAIN...FLOODING...AND A FEW TORNADOES LAST NIGHT TO OKLAHOMA HAS
CONTINUED ITS SLOW MARCH EASTWARD THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HAVE
BEGUN TO SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ACROSS THE WESTERN
THIRD OF THE STATE. WRF AND HRRR DISAGREE WITH HOW THIS SYSTEM WILL
EVOLVE OVER THE NEXT EIGHT HOURS OR SO. THE WRF SHOWS THE LINE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WEAKENING AROUND MID DAY...BEFORE
REDEVELOPING AFTER THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...AM LEANING TOWARDS THE
HRRR WHICH SHOWS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING TO FALL
THROUGH THE DAY...AS PRECIPITATION SLOWLY PUSHES TO THE EAST. WITH
HIGH PRECIPTABLE WATER VALUES AROUND THE STATE...THESE TRAINING
STORMS WILL BE EFFICIENT RAIN MAKERS WITH RAIN RATES TOPPING OUT AT
1.5 INCHES PER HOUR.

ON TOP OF EVERYTHING...A BREEZY DAY CAN BE EXPECTED TODAY...WITH
SUSTAINED SE WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH AND GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE.
DID GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY THROUGH THIS EVENING.

SEVERE WEATHER REMAINS A POSSIBILITY TODAY AS WELL. MIDLEVEL LAPSE
RATES ARE NOT FANTASTIC...HOWEVER CAPE VALUES WILL BE IN EXCESS OF
1000 J PER KG. WITH WINDS OUT OF THE SE AT THE SURFACE...HELICITY
VALUES WILL BE HIGH ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A FEW TORNADOES.

BUT BY FAR THE GREATEST THREAT WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING.
OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS...PORTIONS OF WESTERN ARKANSAS HAVE SEEN
BETWEEN 10 TO 14 INCHES OF RAIN...WHICH IS ROUGHLY 4 TO 6 TIMES
NORMAL. COMBINE THIS WITH DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW AND PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES BETWEEN 1.5 TO OVER 2 INCHES...WHICH IS 1 TO 2 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL...AND HEAVY RAIN AND LIFE THREATENING FLASH
FLOODING WILL BE LIKELY.

CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE TWO ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAIN...WITH THE FIRST
ROUND SUNDAY WITH TWO TO FOUR INCHES POSSIBLE WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN
ACROSS WESTERN ARKANSAS. DO EXPECT THERE WILL BE A LULL IN THE
PRECIPITATION DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY BEFORE THE SECOND ROUND OF
HEAVY RAIN DEVELOPS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH MID DAY TUESDAY. MODELS
HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN SHOWING A PERIOD OF VERY HEAVY RAIN MONDAY
NIGHT. AGAIN...DO EXPECT THAT ANOTHER ROUND OF TWO TO FOUR INCHES
WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT. AS A RESULT DID GO AND ISSUE AND
EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO THE ENTIRE AREA AND GO THROUGH 18Z
TUESDAY.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

MODELS INDC A WEAK UPR RDG WL SET UP ALONG THE MS RVR VALLEY LATE IN
THE WEEK. WITH PLENTY OF LOW LVL MOISTURE RMNG IN PLACE ACRS THE MID
SOUTH...SCTD MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION CAN BE EXPECTED EACH DAY. A
STRONGER UPR LVL STORM SYS IS PROGGED TO AFFECT THE LATE IN THE PD.
KEPT POPS IN CHC CAT THIS FAR IN ADVANCE AS CHGS IN TIMING/STRENGTH
ARE LIKELY WITH THIS SYS WITH LATER MODEL RUNS.
