What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jun 22, 12:43 PM CDT	FLASH FLOOD	Crossett, AR	CONTINUED STREET FLOODING IN CROSSETT. A FEW AREA COUNTY ROADS ALSO EXPERIENCING FLOODING.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 117 minutes after it went out.

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

Shreveport, LA (KBAD), launched 12:00Z, 3.8 hours before the alert went out and 182 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...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
559 AM CDT Fri Jun 22 2018

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
REGION...

.UPDATE...
Updated for 12Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF discussion:
With the exception of GTR where TSRA/SHRA activity continued,
IFR/MVFR cigs have developed areawide. These cigs will lift by 15Z
and VFR conds wl prevail away from TSRA activity. Numerous TSRA
coverage is expected today with the exception of the se where late
afternoon isold TSRA wl be psbl. TSRA activity wl cont tonight
along HWY 82 where a stalled front is expected. Elsewhere, TSRA
activity wl dissipate by 04Z Sat. /22/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Today and Tonight: Early morning water vapor imagery/RAP analysis
showed the circulation around a nearly stacked low over southern
Illinois with a shortwave nearing the Ozarks that will continue to
swing around the base of the low today. Surface analysis had the
associated cold front dropping over the Missouri bootheel and
extending southwest across southwest Arkansas into northeast Texas.
The shortwave is expected to help initiate convection along the cold
front later this morning. Models agree that this activity will
spread east southeast into our northwest most zones shortly
thereafter eventually spreading to the Highway 84 corridor by late
afternoon. Our tropical airmass with greater than two inch PWATs got
dry slotted yesterday but a moist airmass remains over the region as
GOES total PW imagery suggests PWATs continue around 1.6 inches over
our CWA early this morning. Surface observations also had mid 70F
dew points over our CWA. Although the storms will get an early
start in our north they should encounter an environment with MLCAPEs
in excess of 2000j/k. Considering the flow around the low to our
north contributing to deep layer bulk shear around 40 kts, the
environment will support the potential for severe storms with
damaging wind and hail being the main threats. Locally heavy
rainfall will also be possible and a brief tornado or two cannot be
ruled out.

The nearly stack low will move northeast toward the Ohio River
Valley tonight and weaken stranding the cold front to stall across
our northern zones this evening before drifting back north toward
morning. Most of the convection over our CWA will dissipate this
evening with the loss of daytime heating but, convection will linger
in proximity of the frontal boundary through the night. There are at
least a couple models that suggest a complex of storms may develop
tonight and track along the stalled front, possibly dropping into
our CWA prior to sunrise. Wl maintain a MARGINAL area in our HWO
across the Highway 82 corridor to account for this threat.
Otherwise, temperatures will be held close to normal today due to
the convection and cloud cover but Saturday morning lows will be
warmer than normal again. /22/

This weekend: As a mid/upper trough pulls northeastward away from
the area, a surface front stalled across east AR into north MS will
retreat northward, with a surface ridge building in along the Gulf
Coast. This will begin to confine convection north of the region as
capping increases from the south. However, there remains the
potential for a complex of storms to brush the northern fringe of
the CWA into early Saturday as suggested by the 00Z Euro and some
CAM solutions, so chance POPs were maintained into that time period.
Otherwise, with fewer clouds/showers, temps will tick up again this
weekend, and given the remaining moist airmass, heat stress will
become more of a concern. We'll continue mention in the HWO for heat
indices approaching 105 over most of the CWA on Saturday, also now
including Sunday as well. It is possible a heat advisory may be
needed eventually for some portion of the area.

Monday through Thursday: The surface ridge will begin to retreat
eastward, resulting in an increase in diurnal convection as our
region moves to the periphery of said ridge. Outside of the rain,
generally warmer conditions are expected as mid/upper heights
increase over the area. With a rather humid airmass remaining in
place, heat stress could continue to be a concern. However, the
greater potential for clouds/rain will create uncertainty over daily
peak apparent temps. Eventually, we may need to highlight a heat
stress risk on one of more of these days in the HWO/graphics/NPW.
