Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
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.
The nearest sounding before it
Jackson, MS (KJAN), launched 12:00Z, 9.4 hours before the alert went out and 114 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.

CMEWhat 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 Apr 30, 3:59 PM CDT, 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 30, 3:59 PM CDT, 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 359 PM CDT SAT APRIL 30 2016 .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)... LATEST SATELLITE ANALYSIS...SHOWED AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS...WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW TO MIDLEVEL CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. IT WAS SENDING SHORTWAVES INTO THE SOUTHERN STREAM INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY IN SOUTHWEST FLOW. AREA RADARS WERE PICKING UP THE CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH THE CWA FROM THE WEST. WE WERE STILL TRACKING OUR WAKE LOW MOVING ACROSS THE REGION NEAR THE BACK END OF THE RAINS BRINGING SOME BRIEF GUSTY WINDS TO THE CWA. VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWED THAT THE RAINS HAD TAPERED OFF WEST OF I-55 FOR NOW. ON THE SURFACE A COLD FRONT WAS APPROACHING FROM EAST TEXAS WITH AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW OVER THE MO. FOR THIS EVENING EXPECT A DECREASE IN RAIN COVERAGE COMING IN FROM THE WEST...BUT EXPECT ANOTHER DISTURBANCE TO COME ACROSS THE REGION LATER TONIGHT WHICH WILL INCREASE OUR CHANCES OF CONVECTION AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT AM NOT EXPECTING ANY SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL OVERNIGHT. THUS WILL DROP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVER THE CWA...EVEN THOUGH WPC HAS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF GOING THROUGH TONIGHT. AS FAR AS THE SEVERE RISK IS CONCERN CURRENT CONDITIONS HAS DOWNPLAYED OUR SEVERE RISK SOME INTO THIS EVENING AS THE CONVECTION MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION. IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST INSTABILITY WILL STAY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 20. SO WILL KEEP OUR RISK OF LIMITED SEVERE EAST OF I-55 WITH THE PRIMARY RISKS OF DAMAGING WINDS AND QUARTER SIZED HAIL. WILL KEEP THE PRIMARY RISKS OF QUARTER SIZED HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS GOING UNTIL 00Z. IT WILL BE ANOTHER MILD NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S. FOR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT...EXPECT SEVERAL MORE ROUNDS OF CONVECTION CROSSING THE CWA AS THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT BECOMES STATIONARY NORTHWEST OF THE REGION. THIS WILL BE DUE TO A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES CROSSING THE REGION. WPC WILL CONTINUE A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS THE SOUTH. NOT SEEING MUCH IN THE WAY OF FORCING TO GO WITH OUR INSTABILITY FOR THE PERIOD. SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT ANY SEVERE RISK FOR SUNDAY AS SPC HAS A MARGINAL RISK FOR THE REGION. WE MAY GET SOME LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH PWATS APPROACHING 2 INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS. HIGHS WILL IN THE LOWER 80S AND LOWS WILL DIP INTO THE LOWER TO UPPER 60S. FOR MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...THE COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH THROUGH THE REGION ON MONDAY NIGHT AS WE GET SEVERAL MORE ROUNDS OF CONVECTION. INSTABILITY WILL DECREASE FROM THE NORTHWEST ON MONDAY NIGHT. WPC WILL CONTINUE ITS SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH AS PWATS WILL BE APPROACHING 2 INCHES ONE AGAIN FOR LOCALLY HEAVY DOWN POURS. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 70S NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER 80S SOUTHEAST. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 50S NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER 60S SOUTHEAST./17/ .LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND)...THE PERIOD OF ACTIVE WEATHER IN THE SHORT TERM WILL DIMINISH AS WE MOVE INTO THE LONG TERM. ON TUESDAY THE COLD FRONT WILL EXIT THE REGION AS WE HAVE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS IN ITS WAKE. THE SHOWERS WILL EXIT THE REGION BY TUESDAY EVENING. MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. WITH A LARGE UPPER LOW SPINNING ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY...THIS WILL LEAVE OUR REGION UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS WOULD SUGGEST COOLER TEMPERATURES AND WE SHOULD SEE READINGS BACK CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMALS. BRIEF SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEKEND. OVERALL...SHOULD BE SOME NICE WEATHER FOR THE LATTER PORTIONS OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.17/28 && .AVIATION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF I-55 THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. THE ACTIVITY SHOULD REDEVELOP FROM THE SOUTHWEST AFTER MIDNIGHT. HEAVY RAIN WILL BRIEFLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO A MILE ORLESS. LOW CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE AREA ALSO...MVFR TOLIFR CONDITIONS LIKELY FOR MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY. IN ADDITION...ONSET OF GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE TAF SITES OF JAN AND HKS.
