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 18, 9:45 AM CDT, 4 hours 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 18, 9:45 AM CDT, 4 hours 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
945 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016

.UPDATE...SUBTROPICAL JET WAS PUSHING STRONG WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE
REGION AT LATE MORNING. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL PUSH ACROSS THE
REGION AS THE STALLED BOUNDARY OVER SOUTHEAST MS MAKES ITS WAY TO
THE NORTH. CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS ACROSS
THE REGION MAINLY SOUTHWEST OF A GWO-MEI LINE. ALREADY HAVE PUT OUT
A FEW WARNINGS DUE TO HAIL SPLITTING CELLS IN THE DELTA REGION. THIS
WAS PICKED UP WELL BY ONE SHORT TERM CONVECTIVE MODE MODELS. SO AT
THIS TIME THE CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK. HIGHS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE FROM THE UPPER 60S NORTH TO THE MIDDLE 70S
SOUTH./17/

./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...427 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...IMPRESSIVE LIGHT SHOW OUTSIDE
DURING THE PAST HOUR AS PROLIFIC LIGHTNING FROM PASSING STORMS
ILLUMINATED THE NIGHT SKY. THESE STORMS OVER THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL SECTIONS ARE THE LATEST BATCH IN A SERIES THAT HAVE COME
THROUGH THE AREA SINCE YESTERDAY. THE CULPRIT CONTINUES TO BE
ISENTROPIC FORCING OVER THE TOP OF THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ON
THE COAST. THAT COUPLED WITH STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH
VERTICAL TOTALS NEAR 30 HAS ALLOWED SOME RATHER ROBUST STORMS TO
DEVELOP.

WHILE THE ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL DECREASE A BIT THIS MORNING...THE
BOUNDARY WILL BEGIN MOVING NORTHWARD BY NOON WITH NEAR 70 DEWPOINTS
AND CAPES FROM 1500-2500 J/KG INVADING SOUTHERN AREAS THIS
AFTERNOON. THESE VALUES WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR ABOVE 50 KNOTS MAY BE
SUFFICIENT FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS.

WHILE THE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD DURING THE EARLY
EVENING...IT WILL QUICKLY BE OVERCOME BY SOUTHWARD MOVING COOL AIR
PUSH ASSOCIATED WITH A DECENT MID LEVEL WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE MID
MS VALLEY. THIS WILL SWEEP THE INCLEMENT WEATHER OUT OF THE AREA
OVERNIGHT./26/

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...THE PREVIOUSLY-
MENTIONED COLD FRONT LOOKS TO ADVANCE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REST OF
THE REGION SATURDAY MORNING. SOME SHOWERS (AND MAYBE A STRAY RUMBLE
OF THUNDER) COULD LINGER IN MAINLY SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF
MISSISSIPPI DURING THE MID-MORNING...BUT THE CHANCES OF DRY WEATHER
ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS WILL BE GOOD BY AFTERNOON. DESPITE THE DRYING
CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE TERRIBLY PLEASANT AS SOMEWHAT LIMITED
SUNSHINE...OCCASIONALLY GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS...AND STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION PRODUCE AFTERNOON WIND CHILLS MOSTLY IN THE 50S.

CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR SATURDAY NIGHT BUT NORTH WINDS WILL BE SLOW TO
SUBSIDE AS CHILLY LOW LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO ADVANCE
TOWARD THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THE PERSISTENT WINDS WILL THWART GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING AND SHOULD PREVENT FROST...DESPITE LOWS DIPPING
DOWN INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S IN MANY CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ZONES.

A CLIPPER DISTURBANCE BRUSHING THE REGION ON SUNDAY WILL ONLY HELP
REINFORCE THE CHILLY AIR MASS OVER THE FORECAST AREA ALTHOUGH
SUNSHINE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE PLENTIFUL IN COMPARISON TO SATURDAY.
HIGHS MAY ONCE AGAIN FAIL TO HIT 60 DEGREES IN SOME SPOTS...WHICH IS
SOME 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THE DATE. THE IMPACT OF THE
COLD SPRING REGIME WILL REACH ITS CLIMAX ON SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN WINDS
DIE DOWN UNDER CLEAR SKIES...ALLOWING GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING TO
BRING LOWS BY MONDAY MORNING TO A RANGE OF 30 TO 35 DEGREES. AT
LEAST PATCHY FROST WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ALL AREAS...BUT CONFIDENCE IN
WIDESPREAD AND POTENTIALLY THICK FROST IS BEST IN EASTERN MS WHERE
CONFIDENCE OF MINIMUMS AT OR JUST BELOW FREEZING IS ALSO BEST. DUE
TO EARLY START TO THIS GROWING SEASON...THIS FROST/FREEZE COULD BE
POTENTIALLY IMPACTFUL AND THUS WARRANTS MENTION IN THE HWO/GRAPHICS.

GRADUAL AIR MASS MODERATION WILL START DURING THE DAY MONDAY UNDER
CLEAR SKIES...BUT LOWS MONDAY NIGHT COULD STILL DIP DOWN INTO THE
UPPER 30S IN AT LEAST EASTERN MS ZONES. BUT LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL BUILD LATER ON TUESDAY AND WILL WORK ITS MAGIC AND HASTEN THE
WARMING TREND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

MODELS STILL DEPICT POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE NEXT WEEK
AS A POTENT DISTURBANCE SWINGS OUT OF THE PLAINS...BUT IT DOES
APPEAR MODEL CONSENSUS IS A BIT LATER WITH THE TIMING. SINCE THE
MAIN IMPACT IS BEYOND THE OFFICIAL FORECAST PERIOD WE WILL CERTAINLY
REFRAIN FROM MENTIONING IT IN THE HWO...BUT THIS SYSTEM/S EVOLUTION
IN THE MODEL WORLD WILL OF COURSE BE MONITORED CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. /BB/

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR CIGS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. VCTS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS WELL AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. TAF SITES THAT EXPERIENCE TS WILL BRIEFLY
FALL TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS AS WINDS BECOME GUSTY./26/
