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 Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 13, 8:12 PM CDT, 2 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 13, 8:12 PM CDT, 2 hours 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
812 PM CDT SUN MAR 13 2016

.DISCUSSION...TORNADO WATCH 43 HAS BEEN ISSUED (REPLACING WATCH 42)
TO TAKE IN A LARGER CHUNK OF OUR DELTA COUNTIES AND PARISHES.
SCATTERED SUPERCELLS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER MUCH OF ARKANSAS AND FAR
NORTHERN LOUISIANA AND ARE BEGINNING TO REACH THE NW CORNER OF THE
CWA AS A POTENT SHORTWAVE PUSHES EASTWARD. HIGH RES GUIDANCE
MAINTAINS THAT MORE POTENT ACTIVITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE
DELTA...MAINLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM RAYVILLE LA TO BELZONI TO WINONA.
CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY LOSE ITS PUNCH OVERNIGHT WITH THE NOCTURNAL
DECREASE IN INSTABILITY. ALREADY MADE SOME QUICK ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
FORECAST TO SHOW THE LATEST THINKING ON TIMING, WITH ADDITIONAL
UPDATES LIKELY TO COME LATER TONIGHT. /DL/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA THIS
EVENING, BUT CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE TO MVFR (AND PERHAPS IFR
AT A FEW TERMINALS) OVERNIGHT AS STRATUS INCREASE AHEAD OF A FAST
MOVING SYSTEM. SCT STRONG/SEVERE TSRA ARE POSSIBLE AT GLH AND GWO
THROUGH AROUND 6Z. 50 KT GUSTS AND GOLFBALL SIZE HAIL ARE POSSIBLE
WITH ANY SEVERE STORM. BRIEF SHRA CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT
GTR/JAN/HKS/MEI OVERNIGHT, BUT PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO BE GONE BY
MONDAY MORNING WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR ACROSS THE AREA
DURING THE DAY. AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE REGION, WINDS WILL
SHIFT FROM SOUTH THIS EVENING TO WEST ON MONDAY. /DL/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 449 PM CDT SUN MAR 13 2016/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY....MID AFTERNOON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY/RAP ANALYSIS SHOWED A NEARLY STACKED LOW OVER CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA. THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST TO SOUTHEAST
MISSOURI AND NORTHWEST TENNESSEE BY SUNRISE MONDAY. THE 12Z SUN JAN
SOUNDING HAD A PWAT LESS THAN ONE INCH AND SURFACE DEW POINTS WERE
RUNNING IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S ACROSS OUR CWA THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE
LOW DRAWS CLOSER TO OUR CWA...WAA IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN OVER OUR
CWA ALONG WITH STEEPING LAPSE RATES AND FAVORABLE SHEER FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS OVER THE NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF
OUR CWA. HAIL TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OF 60
MPH AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS. A STRONG TORNADO OR
TWO AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IN EXCESS OF AN INCH PER HOUR WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE. THE BULK OF THE POTENTIAL WILL BE CONFINED TO NORTH OF A
LINE FROM BASTROP LOUISIANA TO GRENADA MISSISSIPPI AND MAINLY THIS
EVENING. CONSIDERING THE ONGOING FLOODING AND SATURATED SOILS OVER
THE DELTA REGION...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR OUR
EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS AND NORTHWEST MOST MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES
THIS EVENING. THIS LOW WILL BE FAST TO EXIT OUR REGION AND THE RAIN
WILL END BEFORE MORNING. MONDAY WILL BE DRY BUT THERE WON'T BE MUCH
OF AN AIRMASS CHANGE IN IT'S WAKE AS RETURN FLOW WITH LOWER 60 DEGREE
DEWPOINTS WILL BE BACK OVER OUR CWA BY AFTERNOON. WARMER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED AS SITES TOP OUT FROM THE UPPER 70S NORTH
TO THE LOWER 80S SOUTH. TUESDAY WILL BE EVEN WARMER. A NORTHERN
STREAM SHORTWAVE WILL SWING RAPIDLY ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND
HELP DROP A WEAK COLD FRONT INTO THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF OUR CWA BY
EVENING. WARMING AHEAD OF THIS COLD FRONT MAY RESULT IN NEAR RECORD
HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA. /22/

LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...STRATUS LOOKS TO
DEVELOP ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF THE REGION AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
TUESDAY NIGHT...AS LOWS RANGE FROM THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS LOOK TO INCREASE EARLY WEDNESDAY AND
REMAIN PRESENT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BE AS A RESULT OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT SLOWLY TRYING TO PUSH SOUTHEAST THROUGH
THE CWA. A BETTER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION LOOKS TO EXIST WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS THE FRONT COMBINES WITH DIURNAL
HEATING...A SUBTLE DISTURBANCE ALOFT MOVING EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION...AND INCREASING JET ENERGY ALOFT. THERE ARE SOME SIGNALS THAT
THERE COULD BE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS WEDNESDAY...
PARTICULARLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. HOWEVER...THERE
ARE SOME PLACEMENT ISSUES OF WHERE ACROSS THE CWA EXACTLY THE FRONT
WILL BE LOCATED DURING THIS TIME. ALSO...MODEL SOUNDINGS AT THE
MOMENT INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF A CAP OVER THE AREA THAT COULD
CERTAINLY HAVE AN EFFECT ON SUCH STORM DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS STILL
FOUR DAYS OUT...AND ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO SEE HOW THE NEXT FEW
MODEL RUNS TREND BEFORE ADDING ANY MENTION OF SEVERE STORMS TO THE
HWO FOR WEDNESDAY.

DURING THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST...THE FRONT IS PROGGED
TO HANG UP ALONG THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF COAST...WITH HIGH PRESSURE
AT THE SURFACE TRYING TO BUILD INTO AT LEAST THE NORTHERN HALF OF
THE CWA. MODELS INDICATE A TROUGH/UPPER LOW SWINGING EAST TOWARD AND
THROUGH THE CWA OVER THE COURSE OF NEXT WEEKEND. AHEAD OF THIS...A
SERIES OF DISTURBANCES ALOFT WILL RACE EAST NORTHEAST IN THE
VICINITY OF THE FRONT...KEEPING RAIN CHANCES OVER THE FORECAST AREA
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. /19/
