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 Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Dec 23, 3:23 PM CST, 2 hours 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 3:23 PM CST, 2 hours 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
323 PM CST WED DEC 23 2015

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENTLY...A LINEAR CLUSTER OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS
MOVING ACROSS E AR AND MO BOOTHEEL APPROACHING THE MS RVR.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS PRECEDE THE CLUSTER OVER
WEST TENNESSEE.

EXPECT THE THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE PROGRESSING EASTWARD THROUGH
THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE THREAT FOR
TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL...AND DAMAGING WINDS CONTINUE FROM CLUSTER
OF STORMS WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF TORNADOES CONTINUING ALONG AND
SOUTH OF I-40 THROUGH EARLY EVENING. LATER IN THE
EVENING...SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL SHIFT FARTHER TO THE NORTH AND
DECREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE TONIGHT.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL JUST S AND E OF THE FORECAST AREA
THURSDAY THEN MOVE NORTHWARD AS A STRONG WARM FRONT ON CHRISTMAS
DAY. HIGH CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL RETURN
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH CHRISTMAS DAY FROM THE STRONG DYNAMIC LIFT
AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT IN CONJUNCTION WITH AMPLE MOISTURE.
MARGINAL INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT ON CHRISTMAS BUT BE MORE
ELEVATED NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL OCCUR.

THE UNSEASONABLY WARM PATTERN WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND.
SATURDAY WILL BE MAINLY DRY AS THE WARM FRONT WILL BE WELL TO THE
NORTH. A STRONG UPPER LOW WILL APPROACH BY LATE SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY. MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT WILL TRY TO ADVANCE SOUTHWARD
INTO THE NORTH PART OF THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. EXPECT
EITHER A COLD FRONT OR OCCLUDED FRONT FROM THE WEST TO MOVE
QUICKLY INTO THE AREA LATE SUNDAY OR MONDAY DEPENDING WHICH
MODEL SOLUTION IS CORRECT. A POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY.

A MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL ADVECT INTO THE AREA TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. EXPECT THE MORE SEASONABLY COOLER AIRMASS TO REMAIN
IN PLACE BEYOND WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

SWC

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS

NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS...POSSIBLY SEVERE...SPREADING OVER THE AREA IS
THE CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST CYCLE. AS THE FRONT STALLS ACROSS NORTH
MISSISSIPPI LATER TONIGHT THE RISK FOR VICINITY THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE AT TUP.
