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.

TWWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jan 19, 7:03 AM CST, 2 hours 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 19, 7:03 AM CST, 2 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 703 AM CST Sat Jan 19 2019 ...SEVERE STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL REMAIN POSSIBLE TODAY BEFORE COLDER TEMPERATURES IN THE WAKE... .UPDATE... Updated for forecast update & 12Z aviation discussion && .DISCUSSION... Main updates to the going forecast were remove the "Marginal" west of the MS River & out of the Delta as the cold front moves in & slightly trim the "Slight" eastward with the line. A tornado watch is in effect through 1PM for areas east of the Mississippi River due to good juxtaposition of shear & instability parameter space. Some of these storms have shown some indications of good rotation & bowing/LEWP structures with an increasing QLCS development across central & southwest Mississippi. In addition, expanded the "Limited" for the wind threat for this afternoon for the entire area due to some strong wind gusts mixing down just ahead of the line in the southeast while leaving it elsewhere in the Delta tonight. Lastly, the "Limited" for flash flooding is still possible but somewhat marginal. Mainly adjusted to trim out areas west of the Mississippi River. Updates & graphics will be out shortly. /DC/ Prior discussion below: Today & tonight: Today: Storms are ongoing ahead of a strong cold front currently situated across the ArkLaTex, with some increasing isentropic showers & storms moving across the ArkLaMiss Delta. The strong closed upper low is diving across Oklahoma & Texas, with strong ascent spreading out across the southern Plains & ArkLaTex to ArkLaMiss region. Expect increasing coverage over the next several hours as isentropic ascent & advection, which will lead to some increasing lapse rates & destabilization. Overall, some of the storms out in this isentropic ascent are working with some weak destabilization but nearly 40-60kts effective bulk shear. This is leading to some storms trying to become rooted in the boundary layer & bringing some damaging wind & marginal hail potential this morning with some potential for a brief tornado, especially in any bowing QLCS/LEWP structures. The best ascent will continue to progress east through the morning. Most hi-res HREF CAM suite continue to show a broken QLCS moving into our northwest Delta over the next hour or so at daybreak, I-55 corridor ~8-10AM & near or east of the Highway 45 corridor & crossing the state line around noon. There remains good agreement in HREF CAM suite that any bowing east-northeast QLCS/LEWP structures or isolated supercells could bring damaging winds up to 60-70mph & a few tornadoes. The area is on the northern gradient of around 60-70 CWASP & 1-2 effective significant tornado parameter (STP) & 300-400 effective storm relative helicity (SRH). This will lead to some decent tornado potential. In addition, there remains some decent lapse rates for some hail. Thus, kept mostly the same outlook in the HWO & graphics for "Slight" east of the Mississippi River & "Marginal" elsewhere. As mentioned before, main risks are damaging winds of 60-70mph, at least quarter size hail & tornadoes possible. In addition, there will be some decent rainfall potential upwards of 1-3 inches, with locally higher amounts as increasing moisture ascent moves into the area. HREF CAM suite of guidance shows some training of cells, especially with some of this being convective. Right now, there will be some potential for flash flooding with anomalously high moisture & low level moisture transport. Due to this & in conjunction with WPC, added a "Limited" to the HWO & graphics for flash flooding for today. Lastly, there remains some good gradient wind potential this afternoon & into the overnight hours as there is nearly 40-50kts flow @ 925mb. This in conjunction with ~1000mb low swinging into the Mid-South & strong pressure gradient along & in the wake of the cold front, will lead to gusty gradient winds. Expect sustained winds of 20-25mph with gusts upwards of 30-35mph or higher at times, especially after 2-3PM & continuing into the overnight hours. Thus, left the "Limited" in the HWO & graphic mainly for areas along & northwest of the Natchez Trace. Tonight: Expect a much cooler & colder airmass as strong high pressure builds into the region. This will lead to strong cold air advection into the overnight hours. With the strong pressure gradient & gusty winds into the overnight hours, expect wind chills to fall into the teens in the north to low 20s elsewhere. Lows will fall into the upper 20s to near freezing in the Pine Belt. Otherwise, with some lingering deformation axis to the north & low level moisture, models continue to indicate some potential for some light snow flurries/grains &/or freezing drizzle mixing in across the Delta after 00Z & spreading east-southeast while main upper low & moisture pulls east-northeast. Expect any potential to make it down to I-20 corridor near midnight & pull away just before daybreak in the Golden Triangle. Right now, there are no concerns for impacts or accumulation as it will remain very light. Only question mark is p-type & how much ice nucleation can occur for much snow flurries or snow grains to occur or some patchy freezing drizzle can mix in. /DC/ && .AVIATION... 12Z TAF discussion: Scattering of MVFR to IFR ceilings due to widespread coverage of thunderstorms are ongoing across the area. In addition, a more organized bowing line is developing down near HKS & JAN. This line will be around 19/13-16Z @ JAN & HKS & 19/16-19Z @ GTR, MEI, HBG & PIB. Expect any TAF site impacted with brief IFR to LIFR ceilings &/or visibility & gusty winds possibly near or in excess of 40-50kts as the line moves across. Most of the storms will through each site within a couple hours after impacted. Expect conditions to improve but MVFR ceilings to linger around. In addition, expect gusty southerly winds around 25-30mph & gradually becoming more westerly with some brief gusts near or in excess of 35mph in central to eastern TAF sites ahead of the front & also in the wake of the cold front passage. /DC/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
