The Jackson/Brandon,MS radar (KDGX), 84 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 11:35 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 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Jackson, MS (KJAN), launched 00:00Z, 11.5 hours before the alert went out and 94 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.

What 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 Mar 31, 4:14 AM CDT, 2 hours 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 4:14 AM CDT, 2 hours 18 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
414 AM CDT Tue Mar 31 2020

.DISCUSSION...
Today and tonight...
Early this morning, a low pressure system and attendant cold front
move through the region, with convection along the boundary early
this morning.  Watching storms along and south of I-20 able to tap
into more instability from the wedge of theta-e advection that has
progressed in the last couple of hours. Storms will continue through
the early morning, and most of the storms should have exited the
region by mid morning, though some lingering sprinkles may remain,
particularly in the north closer to the upper level low/cyclonic
flow. Otherwise, a cooler and cloudy day with north/northwesterly
winds getting a little gusty as the surface low deepens.  Next issue
in the forecast will be exactly how much sunshine is able to break
through and attempt to mix out the llvl moisture. Afternoon xover
temps will be close and will need to monitor for a chance for some
early morning fog tonight/Wed morning, especially in low lying
areas.

Wednesday into early next week...

A broad surface high will be centered over the Lower MS River Valley
by Wednesday as an upper level ridge builds overhead. The ridge will
be centered over the region on Thursday as it slowly slides from
west to east. Highs will be back to near normal areawide by
Wednesday and above normal by Thursday. Moisture will begin to make
a return to the region on Friday as the surface high slides east of
the region, resulting in return flow from the Gulf of Mexico. PWats
will have increased to above 1.4" areawide by Saturday and
showers/storms will become possible as isentropic ascent increases
as the ridge breaks down and a weak frontal boundary approaches the
region.

Upper level ridging will once again set up over the region by Sunday
as the surface front fades. A southern stream disturbance will
approach the region from the SW late in the weekend/early next week
increasing chances for showers and storms once again.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF discussion:
VFR in the immediate term, with developing showers and
thunderstorms deteriorating conditions through to sunrise.
Enhanced llvl moisture from showers across the region and a
passing low will result in MVFR cigs from dawn through midday.
Winds tomorrow become more northerly behind the low, gusty through
the afternoon.
