The radar

The Jackson/Brandon,MS radar (KDGX), 134 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:31 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

The nearest sounding before it

Jackson, MS (KJAN), launched 12:00Z, 8.5 hours before the alert went out and 143 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 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 Jul 9, 3:16 PM CDT, 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 3:16 PM CDT, 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
316 PM CDT SAT JUL 9 2016

.DISCUSSION...Outflow boundary from overnight MCS in AR/TN has
slowed to a crawl across northeast LA/northcentral MS, but has served
as a good focus for showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. The GFS
brings this boundary south early this evening before moving it back
north overnight and continues to crank out QPF despite the loss of
heating.

Weak mid level shortwave/cyclonic shear axis looks to become a
fixture over the forecast area through at least mid week. As a
result, better mid level lapse rates will combine with PWs near 2
inches and daytime heating to produce a good scattering of showers
and thunderstorms each day. As such, the increased cloud cover and
rainfall will give the area some reprieve from the oppressive heat
of late. As has been the case today, a limited risk of severe
thunderstorms looks to exist again for Sunday with the better lapse
rates and the 20-25 knots of deep layer shear remaining over the
region. Damaging wind gusts and frequent lightning appear to be the
primary hazards expected. Will include as such in the HWO.

The heat looks to make a return by mid to late week as ridging from
the northwest will give the shear axis a nudge to the east allowing
drier/warmer air to increase in the column over the forecast area.
The reduced convection and cloud cover should allow maximum
temperatures to return to the mid 90s as heat indices push into the
lower 100s.

The models are hinting that the mid level ridge may begin to break
down somewhat moving into the weekend which should yield better
lapse rates and an increase in the diurnal convective activity./26/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail for the most part through
much of the period. The Scattered thunderstorms will continue
through the afternoon and early evening hours, and these may bring
brief cig/visby reductions and strong wind gusts at times./15/
