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.

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 31, 10:33 PM CDT, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 10:33 PM CDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 1033 PM CDT TUE MAR 31 2015 .UPDATE... UPDATE TO EXPAND AND EXTEND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #13. && .DISCUSSION... A FAVORABLE PATTERN FOR CONTINUED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG A COUPLE OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. THE FIRST BOUNDARY STRETCHED FROM LAUDERDALE COUNTY TENNESSEE SOUTHEAST INTO FAR NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AS OF 0330Z AND THE SECOND FROM LAWRENCE COUNTY ARKANSAS SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE MEMPHIS METRO. THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THESE BOUNDARIES AND ARE BEING FED AND ENERGIZED BY A WESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET NOSING INTO THE BOUNDARIES AROUND 5KFT. A RESERVOIR OF MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR CHARACTERIZED BY MUCAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG AND STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND 7.5 C/KM TO THE WEST IS FEEDING IN ON THE LOW LEVEL JET AND ALLOWING FOR SOME STORMS TO REACH SEVERE LIMITS WITH LARGE HAIL. IN ADDITION...THE LOW AND MID LEVEL SHEAR PATTERN IS FAVORABLE FOR BACKBUILDING AND TRAINING STORMS WHICH WILL LIKELY LEAD TO AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING ALONG THE SLOW MOVING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. PORTIONS OF THE AREA WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. UPDATED ZONES...GRIDS...AND HAZARDS WILL BE SENT SHORTLY. JLH && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 354 PM CDT TUE MAR 31 2015/ DISCUSSION... AN UNSTABLE GULF AIRMASS PREVAILED OVER THE MIDSOUTH THIS AFTERNOON. GOES WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A DISTINCT MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE ENTERING AR FROM OK WHICH HAS HELPED TO FURTHER DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE. 12Z LZK SOUNDING SHOWED STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES PRIOR SHORTWAVE ARRIVAL...NEARLY DRY ADIABATIC FROM 740MB UP TO 575MB. MINUS 20C LEVELS WERE IMPRESSIVELY LOW AT 19.3KFT. 18Z NAM SOUNDINGS SHOWED DOWNSTREAM SURFACE- BASED CAPE VALUES OF 2000 TO 2500 J/KG OVER NORTH MS AT 21Z...WITH LIMITED CINH. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE OVER NORTH MS THROUGH THE EARLY TO MIDDLE EVENING... BEFORE THE SHORTWAVE EXITS AND THE BOUNDARY LAYER STABILIZES. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL LIKELY INCREASE OVER NORTHEAST AR THIS EVENING...AS A MORE SUBTLE NORTHWEST FLOW SHORTWAVE DROPS INTO SOUTHERN MO. THESE STORMS WOULD LIKELY BECOME ROOTED IN AN ELEVATED UNSTABLE LAYER AND MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO WEST TN AND NORTHEAST MS DURING THE LATE EVENING/EARLY OVERNIGHT. WEDNESDAY MAY SEE STRONGER CONVECTIVE CAPPING UNDER SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT. ANY STORM THAT MANAGES TO BREAK THE CAP COULD TAP INTO SOME IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY...WITH 18Z/31 NAM SHOWING 3500-4000 J/KG OF SURFACED BASED CAPE OVER THE EASTERN AR AND NORTHWEST MS DELTA. UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN FALLING THURSDAY...WITH THE APPROACH OF A MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE THROUGH THE LOWER AND MIDDLE MS RIVER VALLEY. THIS WILL WEAKEN CONVECTIVE INHIBITION FROM EAST CENTRAL AR THROUGH WEST TN THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THURSDAY NIGHT WILL SEE A SLOW MOVING SURFACE COLD FRONT DROPPING THROUGH THE OZARKS. FRONTAL SPEED SHOULD INCREASE ON FRIDAY...WITH SYNOPTIC SCALE HEIGHT FALLS MOVING INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE MS RIVER VALLEY. PREFRONTAL AND POST FRONTAL SURFACE WINDS MAY APPROACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. DRY MIDCONTINENTAL SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE INTO THE MIDSOUTH SATURDAY...WITH LOW HUMIDITIES...SUNNY SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE DEPARTING SURFACE RIDGE MAY BRING SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY INTO THE DELTA FOR A FEW THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. PWB && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF CYCLE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE TAF SITES THROUGH MID EVENING WITH PREVAILING VFR CIGS WITH TEMPORARY REDUCTIONS OF CIGS/VSBYS IN CONVECTION. MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH PRIOR TO 01/05Z WITH MAINLY VFR CIGS. LOWER LEVEL STRATUS AND FOG WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS SHOULD REDEVELOP AT KMEM...KJBR...AND KTUP TOWARDS 01/09Z AND PERSIST THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. THIS MVFR CLOUD COVER SHOULD MIX OUT BY MID MORNING WITH VFR CIGS EXPECTED INTO THE AFTERNOON. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD REDEVELOP BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH REINTRODUCTION OF POTENTIAL MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN ANY CONVECTION. JLH && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...NONE. MO...NONE.
