The radar

The Columbus AFB radar (KGWX), 49 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 05:15 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

.UPDATE...
Updated for evening discussion.

.DISCUSSION...
Additional heavy rainfall and isolated severe potential will
continue tonight, at least in the west and north. Latest surface
analysis had a weak low over southeast Arkansas with a trailing
cold front across Ashley county, Arkansas and Morehouse Parish,
Louisiana. A weak warm front was also noted from the low, along
and just south of Highway 82. Hi-res models appear to be handling
the situation well and there will continue to be convective
development along the cold front as it drifts east farther into
our CWA the remainder of the night. There will also be development
along and north of the warm front that will continue to drift
north through the Highway 82 corridor. Locally heavy rain and the
potential for an isolated severe storm will remain possible along
the boundaries but very little convection is expected south and
east. Have lowered pops the remainder of the night south and east.
/22/

Prior discussion below:

This Afternoon through Tomorrow:

The primary message remains the likelihood of flooding (both flash
flooding and river flooding) as we head into tomorrow. The reports
and radar estimates of rainfall today have approached 4 to 6
inches for parts of the area - mainly along an axis from Leflore
County east to Webster County and along an axis generally from
Yazoo County east to Kemper County. Ongoing flooding is noted in
several of the Flash Flood Warnings in effect through this
evening, where reports of flooded roads have been common. The
river flooding situation continues to worsen as well. Many local
rivers and streams are on the rise, with the runoff from today's
excessive rainfall expected to result in moderate to major river
flooding over the next few days. The threat for strong to
marginally severe thunderstorms will continue through around 9 PM
tonight. Daytime instability has resulted in a few low-topped
supercells, and these will pose a threat for damaging wind gusts
and an isolated tornado or two if low-level wind shear vectors can
align with any bowing segments. The loss of daytime heating this
evening will slowly cut off the threat for severe weather for the
overnight hours.

The west-east oriented frontal boundary to our north will
gradually sink southward through the day tomorrow - aided in its
southward push by rain- cooled air. Especially true for the
overnight hours tonight, the combined front/outflow boundary will
serve as the focus for additional heavy rainfall. Various high
resolution model guidance is an agreement that a surface low
lifting northeastward along the front will boost low-level
southerly flow across the boundary, with PWAT values in excess of
1.5 inches in the airmass being lifted over the boundary. Average
additional rainfall values north of Interstate 20 through tonight
will be on the order of 1 to 1.5 inches, so will leave the current
configuration to the Flood threat graphics and the current Flash
Flood Watch. Rain chances will shift north of the boundary
tomorrow as the next system develops to our west, but the threat
for flash flooding should mostly taper off by tomorrow afternoon
with the relative lull in rain across the area. /NF/

Tuesday night through the weekend...

The long-term forecast main focus will be the next severe event
Wednesday. This event will consist of multiple hazards including
additional flash flooding. There will be a bit of a break from
rain Thursday evening and Friday but possible rain chances will
return this upcoming weekend.

On Wednesday evening a weak frontal boundary will progress
through the region. Ahead of the front, heavy rain and storm
chances will be possible for Wednesday afternoon through overnight
hours. Though CAPE values aren't very 'high'(600-1000J/kg), there
is still enough instability and shear which supports the
potential for severe weather, hence SPC day 3 outlook for an
Enhanced Risk Wednesday. Another threat is flash flooding. Due to
ongoing flooding from heavy rain/storms today, an additional 2
inches will be possible on Wednesday as a closed low tracks across
the Southern Plains and eventually ejects east affecting the
ArkLaMiss. Will keep the Enhanced Risk for severe potential and an
Elevated/Slight for flooding in the HWO as new model guidance
continues to be consistent with data from yesterday.

As for Thursday through the weekend, the then old front will have
made its way out of the region bringing a drier and cooler air mass
with max temperatures possibly being in the high 50s in the south
and low to mid 50s elsewhere vs max temperatures for Wednesday will
range from the mid 60s to high 70s from the north to the south.
Though the front will have passed through Wed-Thurs, the front will
lift back up Saturday evening-Sunday and sort of hang up and hover
just south of the state allowing for increased moisture to seep
inland and create rain chances Saturday afternoon through Sunday and
possibly next week. A possible wet trend will continue into next
week but confidence on heavy or storm potential is low due to this
being a week away but will keep an eye out./JNE/
