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

Slidell Radar S, LA (KSIL), launched 12:00Z, 10.5 hours before the alert went out and 83 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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
448 PM CDT TUE MAR 29 2016

.SHORT TERM...

A LARGE CUTOFF UPPER LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY QUASI-STATIONARY OVER
THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST IS EXPECTED TO OPEN INTO A BROAD POSITIVELY
TILTED TROUGH AS A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTS OUT INTO
THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY. THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE TROUGH IS THEN EXPECTED TO CLOSE OFF AGAIN AS IT MOVES SOUTH
NEAR THE ARIZONA MEXICAN BORDER ON THURSDAY. THE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE AREA HAS BEEN MOVING EAST TODAY...ALLOWING SOUTHERLY
WINDS AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER HUMIDITY LEVELS TO STEAM BACK INTO
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...HOWEVER DRIER AIR HAS LINGERED IN
NORTH/NORTHEAST AREAS. WARM AIR ADVECTION AND WEAK DISTURBANCES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUTHWEST MID/UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND UPPER
DIVERGENCE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A FEW AREAS OF MAINLY ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...AND THIS ACTIVITY IS
LIKELY TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING AS ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY OVER
THE SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA COASTAL WATERS MOVES NORTHEAST.

THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE UPPER JET WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME MORE
ACTIVE/ STRONGER OVER THE U.S./MEXICAN BORDER/NORTHERN MEXICO INTO
THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
STRONGER SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL ALSO TRANSPORT DEEPER GULF
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION...SETTING THE STAGE FOR PERIODS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT. MOISTURE CONTENT WILL BECOME QUITE HIGH AGAIN WITH THE
PERSISTENT STRONG ONSHORE WINDS IN THE LOW LEVELS. MANY SEVERE
WEATHER PARAMETERS LIKE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR WILL BE FAVORABLE
FOR ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER AND THE PATTERN WILL ALSO FAVOR
HEAVY RAINFALL...PARTICULARLY OVER THE NORTHWEST THIRD OF THE AREA
FROM LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...THEN
EXPANDING SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE COAST THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT. THE DAY TWO SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
OVER MOST OF FORECAST AREA WAS TRIMMED BACK TO JUST THE NORTHWEST
WITH MARGINAL ESLEWHERE. MOST OF THE AREA WAS INCLUDED IN A SLIGHT
RISK IN THE DAY THREE CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK.

AREAS RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD APPROACH 2 TO 4 INCHES...MAINLY IN
NORTHERN AREAS...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
FORTUNATELY...BOTH THE MAINSTEM MISSISSIPPI AND PEARL RIVERS WILL
BE EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT DROPS IN WATER FLOW/VOLUME LEADING
INTO THIS TIME PERIOD...HOWEVER THE RISK OF FLASH FLOODING AND
SOME RIVER FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN. IT IS LIKELY A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH WILL BE REQUIRED WITH LATER FORECAST PACKAGES STARTING IN
SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AND THE ADJACENT SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA
PARISHES...THEN POSSIBLY WORKING SOUTH WITH TIME. A BLEND OF THE
GFS AND ECMWF SUGGESTS THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL POTENTIAL WILL BE
FROM MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND
POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMALS THROUGH FRIDAY.

.LONG TERM...

THE GOOD NEWS IS THE WEEKEND THROUGH ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK IN THE LONGER RANGE MODELS LOOKS DRY AT THIS POINT...AND WITH
VERY WET PATTERN WE WILL HAVE BEEN IN THAT WILL BE MUCH NEEDED.
THE GFS HAS BACKED OFF/SUPPRESSED TO THE SOUTH THE WAVE/LOW
PRESSURE AREA MOVING ALONG THE FRONT OVER THE GULF ON SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY MORNING...SO ONLY HAVE SLIGHT SHOWERS MENTIONED IN PORTIONS
OF THE COASTAL WATERS. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO TREND MOSTLY
BELOW THE SEASONAL NORMALS OVER THE WEEKEND...THEN NEAR NORMAL
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...

MVFR TO VFR CONDITIONS LATE THIS AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER
TO IFR MAINLY AFTER 06Z TONIGHT THEN POSSIBLY IMPROVING BACK TO
MVFR WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE
REGION. SHRA/TSRA SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY ISOLATED THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON BEFORE BECOMING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY WITH MORE WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS LIKELY
RETURNING.

&&

.MARINE...

A RETURN TO ONSHORE FLOW IS UNDERWAY AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE
NEXT COLD FRONT. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL GRADUALLY TIGHTEN LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN AND
SEAS WILL BUILD AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT. A PERIOD OF
EXERCISE CAUTION IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS LIKELY WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THE FRONT IS
FORECAST TO PASS THROUGH THE AREA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY
WITH A SHIFT TO AN OFFSHORE DIRECTION. AS STRONGER HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE AREA AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND...ANOTHER ROUND OF
STRONGER WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST LIKELY
TO IMPACT THE MARINE AREA...MORE SO NORTHERN AREAS NEAR THE TIDAL
LAKES AND MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.

DEPLOYED...NONE.
