The radar
The Jackson/Brandon,MS radar (KDGX), 58 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:50 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 flash flood 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 00:00Z, 0.8 hours before the alert went out and 49 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 Jackson MS
403 PM CDT Wed Mar 28 2018
...FLASH FLOODING AND SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED THIS EVENING INTO
THURSDAY...
.DISCUSSION...
This Evening through Thursday:
Most of the forecast through tomorrow was adjusted and sent out
around Noon today, and no major changes have been made for those
periods. Focus remains primarily on the flash flood potential
through Thursday, but ongoing severe weather moving into our
forecast area will continue into the evening. The QPF has been
adjusted per latest trends and short-term guidance. A swath of 3 or
more inches with locally higher amounts is expected to fall across
areas north and west of the Natchez Trace corridor - so much of
central and northeast LA, far southeast AR, and in MS from Natchez
to Starkville and to the west. Amounts to the south and east of the
Natchez Trace are more likely to be in the 1 to 2 inch range. It
should be noted that QPF represent a most likely, or "average"
expected value for an area, but higher totals could occur if/where
training of heavier storms happens over the same area. There is a
Significant threat area for flash flooding in portions of northeast
Louisiana and far western Mississippi centered around a line from
the Winnsboro/Rayville, LA areas east toward Vicksburg, MS and
nearby (see HWO/graphics for exact area). There will be a greater
likelihood for locations in the SIGNIFICANT flash flood threat area
to see impacts such as flooded homes and roadways. Rainfall amounts
of up to 4 to 7 inches in those areas will also increase the
likelihood of flooding along creeks, bayous, and rivers in the area.
An ELEVATED threat for flash flooding will continue for the
remaining areas north and west of the Natchez Trace, where 3 to 5
inches of rain can be expected. Flash flooding can be expected
across this area. A LIMITED threat for flash flooding continues for
areas south and east of the Trace, where heavier storms will be
moving more quickly and rain totals of 1 to 2 inches are more
likely. Flash flooding is possible in the Limited area, especially
with any heavier downpours.
There is also a SLIGHT risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon
into early this evening - for central and northeast Louisiana
extending into the ArkLaMiss Delta. Hi-res guidance suggest a QLCS
wind and tornado threat to move into our area as storms currently
over northern Louisiana move northeast through this evening. Low-
level shear vectors are oriented from southwest to northeast, so any
bowing segment moving northeast will have the possibility of
producing damaging wind gusts or a few tornadoes. Quieter weather
expected by tomorrow afternoon after a cold front clears the area
and brings an end to rain chances. /NF/
Thursday night through early next week:
The front should be mostly through the CWA by Thursday evening with
just some lingering shower chances in eastern MS by that time.
Cooler and drier air will then begin filtering into the area
overnight. Temps will fall into the upper 40s in the northern third
of the CWA with the rest of the area falling into the lower 50s. As
the upper trough continues its shift east on Friday, a surface high
will migrate over the mid-Mississippi Valley. This will keep temps
slightly below normal through Saturday morning (normal being highs
in the lower 70s and lows in the upper 40s). The high will continue
its shift east and surface flow will return to a southerly direction
on Saturday. This will help temps rebound to slightly above normal
then on Saturday.
On Sunday, an elongated frontal boundary extending from a
trough/upper low over the Great Lakes will slide south near the
northern periphery of the CWA. How far south this boundary will
slide varies on which model you look at. Overall, only a slight
chance of showers will be possible for the northern counties of the
CWA on Sunday. For the rest of the area, Sunday looks to be pretty
pleasant with just above normal temps and partly cloudy skies. The
boundary remains hung up in northern Mississippi through most of
Monday. Therefore, slight rain chances will continue for areas north
of Hwy 82.
Come Tuesday/Wednesday, another system will move through the CWA. At
this time, the global models don't agree on the whole evolution of
it but do agree that there will be a system with rainfall and
possibly some storms in that timeframe. Whether its an upper
shortwave that pushes east through the CWA or an elongated frontal
boundary, it seems to be pretty progressive and move through the
area quickly. Will continue to keep an eye on this system as we get
closer in time. /10/
&&
.AVIATION...
18Z TAF discussion:
VFR conditions to begin the period at all TAF sites, with
increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms through around
00Z to 06Z Thursday as a front enters the area and lasting through
at least 18Z. Some storms will produce heavy rain, reducing
visibility to MVFR or IFR range at times. Otherwise, lowering
ceilings into the MVFR range are expected overnight as moisture
increases. Gusty and erratic winds will also be possible near
stronger thunderstorms. Amendments will likely be needed as
showers and storms increase in coverage across the area. /NF/
