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 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.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 3:40 PM CDT, 1 hour 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
340 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2016
.DISCUSSION...CONVECTION HAS RAPIDLY DEVELOPED IN THE PAST HOUR AS
THE DRY LINE OVER SW AR/NW LA HAS BEGUN PLOWING INTO THE THE
WARM/UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER NE LA/SE AR. THE HRRR HAS HAD THIS
SCENARIO PEGGED WELL TODAY AND SHOWS CONVECTION CONTINUING TO FIRE
ALONG THE DRY LINE AS WELL AS DISCRETE CONVECTION OUT AHEAD. VERTICAL
TOTALS AROUND 30 ARE SUPPORTING LAPSE RATES OF 7-8 C/KM AND CAPES
AROUND 2500 J/KG. THIS THERMO ENVIRONMENT IS OCCCURING IN AN
IMPRESSIVELY SHEARED WIND FIELD WITH 0-1KM SHEAR FROM 25-30 KNOTS AND
200-300 SRH. ALL OF THIS CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TO THE
EAST THIS EVENING...PUSHING INTO AL AND DECREASING IN INTENSITY
AFTER MIDNIGHT.
HAVE INHERITED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH PRIMARILY LEFTOVER FROM LAST
NIGHTS WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN EVENT. DECIDED TO KEEP THE WATCH GOING
TONIGHT EVEN THOUGH PRECIP SCENARIO TONIGHT WILL BE PROGRESSIVE. MAY
STILL HAVE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING ISSUES ALONG THE BOUNDARY WHERE
TRAINING CELLS CAN SET UP.
ORIENTATION OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PARALLEL TO THE FLOW ALOFT WILL
MEAN A SLOW SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION FRIDAY. BOUNDARY DOES NOT LOOK AS
THOUGH IT WILL CLEAR THE AREA UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BUT SOME
OVERRUNNING SHOWERS LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBILITY UNTIL THE DEPTH OF DRY
AIR CAN INCREASE BY FRIDAY NIGHT.
GOING FORWARD INTO SUNDAY...MID LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER
TX RESULTING IN CONVERGING FLOW AND BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE. THIS HIGH PRESSURE AREA LOOKS TO SET UP NICE WEATHER OVER
THE AREA THROUGH MONDAY WITH SOME REINFORCEMENT OF THE DRY/COOL AIR
OVER THE NE BY TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING./26/
&&
.AVIATION...SEVERAL BREAKS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON IN THE MVFR
STRATUS DECK, WITH VFR CONDITIONS NOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.
THROUGH THE EVENING, SCT SHRA/TSRA WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION AS A
COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH
50 KT WIND, LARGE HAIL, AND TORNADOES. SOME VISBY REDUCTIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH TSRA. WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM S TO NW/N BEHIND THE FRONT
EARLY THIS EVENING IN THE DELTA TO OVERNIGHT IN SE MS. VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN MOST AREAS BEHIND THE FRONT, BUT LOW
STRATUS AND SOME FOG MAY LINGER AT PIB/HBG WELL INTO THE MORNING
FRIDAY. /DL/
