What was reported inside it
| Time | Report | Where | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 30, 5:32 PM CDT | FUNNEL CLOUD | Omaha, TX |
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 tornado 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 watch it was issued in
The SPC watch in force over the same counties when this warning went out.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1121 AM CDT WED MAR 30 2016/
DISCUSSION...
HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THE ONGOING FORECAST BY INCLUDING A LAKE
WIND ADVISORY FOR THE FOUR STATE REGION AND WILL CARRY IT UNTIL 10
PM THIS EVENING. SOME LOCATIONS MAY NOT SEE THE STRONG AND GUSTY
WINDS BUT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO PIN POINT THOSE SITES FROM THE
LARGE PRESSURE GRADIENT THAT WILL BE IN PLACE. THE GRADIENT
BETWEEN THE LARGE SURFACE LOW OVER THE PLAINS AND HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE EASTERN STATES WILL RESULT IN STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS OF
15 TO 25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS TO NEAR 30 MPH. MOST ALL THE FOUR
STATE REGION WILL BE IN AN ENHANCED RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH 7 AM CDT THURSDAY AND HAVE INCLUDED THE MENTION OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST PRODUCTS AND INCREASED THE WIND
SPEEDS. /06/
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 747 AM CDT WED MAR 30 2016/
AVIATION...
FOR THE 30/12Z TAFS...MVFR/IFR CIGS WILL DOMINATE THIS TAF PERIOD
AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SURGE CONTINUES WELL AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
OUT ACROSS THE TX/OK PANHANDLE REGION. MEANWHILE...THE LARGE SCALE
UPPER TROF OUT WEST WILL CONTINUE TO SEND UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES OF
ENERGY ACROSS OUR REGION TODAY AND WILL PROVIDE AMPLE SUPPORT FOR
SHWRS AND TSTMS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT...SOME BECOMING STRONG TO
SEVERE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. THREATS OF
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE OF PRIMARY CONCERN SO DO
EXPECT AVIATION IMPACTS TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. SOUTH
WINDS TO CONTINUE AND BECOME GUSTY AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS
OF CONVECTION. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BECOME MORE SPOTTY LATE IN THE
TAF PERIOD BUT CIGS/VSBYS WILL REMAIN IN THE IFR AND POSSIBLY LIFR
CATEGORIES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO THURSDAY MORNING AHEAD
OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. /19/
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW SPINNING OVER
THE GREAT BASIN THIS MORNING...WITH THE ASSOCIATED TROUGH
DOMINATING THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS
TROUGH WILL BE THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND OUR WEATHER OVER THE NEXT
72 HOURS OR SO...AS THE LOW OPENS...SPLITS...AND ESSENTIALLY SENDS
MULTIPLE DISTURBANCES INTO THE PLAINS. IN THE MEANTIME THOUGH...A
WARM FRONT IS SLOWLY LIFTING ACROSS EAST TEXAS...AND WILL CONTINUE
TO PUSH NORTH AND EAST THROUGH THE MORNING. ALTHOUGH THE RADAR IS
RELATIVELY QUIET AT THIS TIME...EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP LATER THIS MORNING IN THE WARM SECTOR.
ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED STRONG OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS MORNING WITH THE ELEVATED CONVECTION...THINK MY MAIN
CONCERN FOR TODAY WILL BE WITH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
PERIODS...WHEN ALL THE ELEMENTS COME INTO PLAY. AT THIS
TIME...BELIEVE THAT MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL FORM THIS
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING...ONCE THE CAP
DISAPPATES...LAPSE RATES STEEPEN...UPPER LEVEL JET SUPPORT IS IN
PLACE...AND A LOW LEVEL JET WILL PROVIDE GOOD SPEED AND
DIRECTIONAL SHEAR NEAR THE SURFACE. THIS ESSENTIALLY ADDS UP TO
ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE FOR US THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. SPC HAS PLACED OUR AREA IN AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER TODAY AS WELL...THINKING THE PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED TORNADOES.
MULTIPLE WAVES OF CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT 24 TO
48 HOURS...WITH MUCH OF THE AREA REMAINING IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR
THURSDAY...ESSENTIALLY UNTIL THE COLD FRONT MOVES THOUGH THE AREA.
MY OTHER CONCERN BESIDES THE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING. GIVEN HOW WET THE SOILS STILL ARE
AND THE FACT THAT MANY AREAS ARE STILL SEEING FLOOD WATERS RECEDE
FROM HEAVY RAINS EARLIER THIS MONTH...FLASH FLOODING IS A
SERIOUS THREAT. THE BLENDED TPW IMAGERY CURRENTLY SHOWS
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RANGING BETWEEN 1 AND 1.2 INCHES OVER
THE ARKLATEX...WITH VALUES AS HIGH AS 1.7 INCHES JUST TO OUR
SOUTH. AS THE DAY MOVES FORWARD...THESE HIGHER PW VALUES WILL
SPREAD INTO THE ARKLATEX...WITH SOME MODELS SUGGESTING VALUES AS
HIGH AS 2 INCHES POSSIBLE. THEREFORE...BELIEVE THAT ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY
HEAVY RAINS. IF ANY TRAINING OF STORMS OCCUR...THEN THOSE AREAS
WILL LIKELY SEE FLASH FLOODING. FOR NOW THAT...BELIEVE MOST AREAS
WILL AREAS WILL SEE BETWEEN 1 AND 3 INCHES. HOWEVER...WIDESPREAD
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST TEXAS...SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS...AND NORTHWEST AND NORTH
CENTRAL LOUISIANA. THEREFORE...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN
PLACE FOR THESE AREAS THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.
ALTHOUGH THE BRUNT OF THE UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL OCCUR TODAY
THOUGH THURSDAY...A FEW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON
FRIDAY...MAINLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20...AS THE LAST OF THE
DISTURBANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVE THROUGH
THE REGION. AFTER THAT...DRIER CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP...AS WELL
AS A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. TEMPERATURES MAY MODERATE A BIT EARLY
NEXT WEEK...BUT BELIEVE DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THOSE DAYS AS
WELL.
