Did it verify
Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 3 storm reports to this flash flood warning; the first came 59 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
Jackson, MS (KJAN), launched 00:00Z, 10.3 hours before the alert went out and 148 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
500 AM CDT Thu May 9 2019
.DISCUSSION...
Today through Friday night:
The synoptic pattern governing the on-going flash flood/severe
weather scenario is fairly straight-forward with an amplified trough
to ridge pattern keeping persistent deep southwest flow over the
ArkLaMiss region, but as is often the case in May, mesoscale
influences are making for a complex and low confidence forecast in
terms of the details and specific hazardous weather impacts. And
that was certainly the case yesterday evening when the linear
convective system developed and impacted a larger area than
previously expected.
With that said, current thunderstorm activity lines up fairly well
with our previous expectations, and will continue with the idea that
this organizing convective system will steadily shift eastward
across the forecast area as we go through the day. With very rich
boundary layer moisture juxtaposed by fairly steep mid level lapse
rates, a very unstable airmass will exist ahead of the convective
system and this should support a continued severe weather threat for
today. Will continue to highlight a slight risk for severe storms in
the HWO/graphics with the main emphasis on damaging wind gusts as
low/mid level shear will not be great.
Expect flash flooding to remain a threat through the near term
forecast as considerable moisture transport (precipitable water
values near two inches, H850 theta-e ridge approaching 350K, and
surface dewpoints in the low/mid 70s) continues. Have expanded the
FFA to best reflect the near term trends combined with the worsening
antecedent conditions in the ArkLaMiss Delta region. Per
coordination with neighboring offices, have extended this watch
through Saturday, and it is possible some adjustments will be
necessary as we get a better idea of mesoscale influences and
additional storm development/evolution. For now will maintain
flood/severe threats for Friday/Fri night, but will keep specifics
general. /EC/
Saturday through Sunday: By Saturday morning, a quasi-stationary
front will remain extended from the TX Coast through the ArkLaMiss
Delta and into the TN Valley. Periodic mid/upper waves traversing
southwesterly upper flow will continue to kick off convection across
the region as they ride along the front. Model guidance is currently
indicating a coupled upper jet structure resulting in a surface low
developing and lifting along the front on Saturday. NAEFS output
suggests there will be anomalously high PW and mean WV transport
across much of the region during this period, particularly over the
western half of the area, meaning locally heavy rainfall will
continue to be a concern. For obvious reasons, this indicates the
flash flood threat will remain into the weekend, thus we'll maintain
the Flash Flood Watch into Saturday. We'll also continue to
highlight this threat in the HWO/graphical products. In addition,
with the surface low developing along the front and a strengthening
low level jet, there will be some potential for strong to severe
storms. As previous shifts have highlighted, the severe threat will
be largely driven by mesoscale processes which are impossible to
pinpoint at this stage in the forecast, so it will be difficult to
narrow down timing/location details until closer to Saturday. Still,
we will broadbrush a marginal severe risk, as outlooked by SPC, in
the HWO/graphics.
By Saturday night the front will begin to slowly push across the
area as the upper low pivots eastward toward the Atlantic coast.
Periods of showers and thunderstorms will continue through the day
Sunday, with the front expected to clear the forecast area by the
evening hours. There will again be some potential for more potent
convection on Sunday, but at this range confidence in a particular
area or threats is way too low to highlight in the HWO/graphics.
Monday through Wednesday: A reprieve from the prolonged wet pattern
is in the offing for early next week as a surface ridge builds
across the MS River Valley and shortwave mid/upper ridging
increases. Rain chances may trend back upward over the latter half
of the week, however, as upper troughiness returns to the region.

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF discussion:
Poor aviation weather is expected this forecast period due to
occasional periods of SHRA/TSRA moving across the area and
considerable amounts of MVFR/IFR category ceilings in the very
humid airmass. Sfc wind could be gusty and somewhat variable
and dependent on individual convective storms. /EC/
