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 flash flood 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Shreveport, LA (KBAD), launched 12:00Z, 10.3 hours before the alert went out and 132 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Shreveport, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at May 25, 4:40 PM CDT, 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 25, 4:40 PM CDT, 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
440 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2015

.DISCUSSION...
THIS AFTERNOON A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE CENTER WAS OVER
THE EASTERN PAN HANDLE OF TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA WITH A
TRAILING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE DROPPING SOUTH INTO SOUTH TEXAS
SEVERAL SMALLER SCALE PERTUBATIONS WERE MOVING NORTHEAST IN THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOF. THESE DISTURBANES ALONG WITH A DEEP AND RICH
SUPPLY OF UNSTABLE AIR FRESH OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AND SPREADING OF SHOWERS
AND STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FOUR STATE REGION.
THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...HIGH
AND DAMAGING WINDS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH FLASH FLOODING
POSSIBLE...DEADLY LIGHTNING...AND TORNADOES. MUCH OF THE AREA WEST
OF A TEXARKANA ARKANSAS TO SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA...AND NACOGDOCHES
TEXAS LINE WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...WITH AREAS TO THE EAST OF THIS LINE
GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF THROUGH TONIGHT. LATER INTO THE NIGHT THE
AREA OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SHIFTING TO THE EAST AS THE
UPPER LOW SHIFTS EAST AND THE UPPER TRAILING TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE SWINGS EAST AS WELL. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
TAPERING OFF WITH THE EXIT OF THE UPPER TROUGH...HOWEVER THE NEXT
IN A CONTINUED STREAM OF DISTURBANCES WILL PROVIDE CHANCES FOR
SHOERS AND THUNDERSTORMS JUST ABOUT THROUGH THE ENTIRE REMAINDER
OF THE FORECAST PERIOD THROUGH NEXT WEEK. A WEAKLY AMPLIFIED UPPER
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SEE THESE DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH
KEEPING A WET PATTERN GOING. /06/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1217 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2015/

UPDATE...
TO LOWER THE CLOUD COVER FOR TODAY...RAISE THE FORECAST HIGHS
FOR TODAY...INCREASE THE WINDS.

DISCUSSION...
SATELLITE AND WATER VAPOR LOOP CONTINUED TO SHOW UPPER
DISTURBANCES MOVING AROUND THE BASE OF AN TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE PAN HANDLE OF TEXAS ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL
TEXAS. THESE DISTURBANCES ALONG WITH AVAILABLE MOISTURE SPREADING
NORTH INTO THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY HAVE
BEEN PRODUCING SHOWES AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER OKLAHOMA...AND INTO
TEXAS. THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
AND SPREAD EAST AND NORTHEAST AHEAD OF THE UPPER DISTURBANCES
AS THEY MOVE IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THE SUN WAS OUT ACROSS
MUCH OF THE FOUR STATE REGION THIS MORNING AND WILL HELP PROVIDE
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE FORECAST AREA THAT WILL PROVIDE
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. ALONG WITH THE CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL COME
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THAT WILL QUICKLY RESULT IN THE THREAT FOR
FLASH FLOODING. SOILS HAVE BEEN PRIMED WITH RECENT RAINS. FOR THE
REST OF TODAY AND OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY BE ALERT FOR HIGH WATER.
DO NOT CROSS FLOODED AREAS ESPECIALLY IF THE WATER IS MOVING
QUICKLY. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES. /06/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1058 AM CDT MON MAY 25 2015/

AVIATION...

SCT TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN A
VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. CURRENT MVFR CEILING TO MIX OUT AND
DISSIPATE BY EARLY AFTERNOON NEAR 18Z.

BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING NEAR 08Z...EXPECT WIDESPREAD MVFR AND IFR
CEILINGS TO REDEVELOP IN MOIST UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. /VIII/

NORTHEAST TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON OVER THE REGION...AHEAD OF STRONG UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE THAT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER...A

POSSIBLE...BUT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO OCCUR IN THE
STRONGER STORMS. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO THREE
INCHES...WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS...WILL BE POSSIBLE ATOP
ALREADY SATURATED GROUNDS. THIS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED
RUNOFF AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING. THESE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH
THE HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL PERSIST OVER
NORTHCENTRAL LOUISIANA THROUGH DAYBREAK TUESDAY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING ACROSS

THESE STORMS EXIT THE REGION. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AREAWIDE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...AND
POSSIBLY INCREASE IN COVERAGE FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS A SLOW
MOVING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE SINKS SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS.
