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 severe thunderstorm 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
Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 00:00Z, 0.2 hours before the alert went out and 251 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.

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 10, 6:32 PM CDT, 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 6:32 PM CDT, 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 632 PM CDT Thu Jun 10 2021 .DISCUSSION... Updated to include the 00Z aviation discussion below... && .AVIATION... Isolated to scattered SHRA/TSRA will be seen at some sites early in the period...but coverage of convection should dissipate shortly after sunset. Throughout the overnight period...some patchy fog could be seen...especially around sunrise. Coverage of convection will be even less for Fri...but still possible. Otherwise...VFR conditions will be dominant on Fri. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 247 PM CDT Thu Jun 10 2021) DISCUSSION...Tonight Through Thursday Night... The southeast quarter of the state is looking for more of the same tonight, as very little has changed in the last 24 hours. The area remains wedged between a narrowly tilted ridge extending from northern Mexico into the Plains, and mean troughing over the eastern and western coasts. As a result, a weak north-northwest flow was present across the area. Over time the ridge will continue to build across the Plains and southwestern US, although the flow pattern aloft will largely continue out of the north and northwest over time. While a heavy rain threat continues across the southeast tonight, the threat of heavy rain should become much more localized after tonight. The principal change in the forecast will be a cold front pushing down across the area by the end of the weekend. This isn't going to cause much of a cool-down, but it will finally bring some drier weather for the start of the next workweek. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

A few storms may become strong to severe, mainly this afternoon, with gusty winds the primary hazard. Given excessive rainfall over the last 48 to 72 hours and an extremely saturated soil surface, it will not take much runoff from heavy rainfall to quickly cause flash flooding. Where rainfall accumulations are the greatest, flash flooding may be considerable to significant in nature at times. Please be sure to heed local emergency management guidance on road closures due to high water, and avoid flooded areas if possible. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday Through Wednesday Showers and thunderstorms will remain possible on Friday but much more scattered in nature than what has been seen of late and mainly over the eastern half of the state. Some of the storms could still produce locally heavy rain and some gusty winds. A weather pattern more typical of summer will develop over the region late this week and into the weekend as a large upper level ridge of high pressure builds over the nations mid section. Hot and humid conditions will return with chances of afternoon through early evening showers and thunderstorms. An occasional strong storm can not be discounted but organized severe weather is not likely. Highs are expected to top out in the upper 80s to mid 90s through Monday before some slightly cooler air moves in. With the soil being saturated and lots of standing water likely, very muggy conditions are expected as well. Heat index values will approach the century mark across parts of the state this weekend. .Spotter Information Statement... Spotter Activation May Be Needed. && Visit NWS Little Rock on the web.
