The radar
The Jackson/Brandon,MS radar (KDGX), 104 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 05:52 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 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.

19What forecasters said that day
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 Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 12, 9:11 PM CDT, 3 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 12, 9:11 PM CDT, 3 hours 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 911 PM CDT Tue Apr 12 2022 .UPDATE... Updated for evening discussion. && .DISCUSSION... Warm advection showers and thunderstorms continue to lift across the Hwy 82 corridor this evening with additional light rain across the Hwy 84 corridor. This activity will gradually shift out of the area over the next several hours with attention quickly shifting to upstream convection over far northeast Texas moving into northern Louisiana. These upstream storms have evolved into a mature MCS with a stout rear inflow jet noted on KSHV velocity data. This MCS is forecast to race across northern Louisiana and into the area late this evening into the overnight hours. Timing paints the arrival in our northeast Louisiana Parishes around 1am, the Mississippi River around 2am and the I-55 corridor by 3am. While instability has been waning with loss of daytime heating, sufficient surface-based instability will remain to support a continued severe threat into the area. The main threat will be for damaging winds of 60-70mph. A tornado along with small hail cannot be ruled out either, but the MCS will be moving into a less sheared environment. The line of storms will weaken as it pushes east of the Mississippi River and is expected to be below severe criteria by or shortly after reaching the I-55 corridor. Adjustments have been main to the HWO/graphics to account for the latest forecast trends. A lull in activity is expected after the MCS dissipates with mainly isolated to scattered showers through the remainder of the overnight period. /TW/ Prior discussion below: Through tonight... A messy set up is expected for the rest of today through tonight. Scattered showers have started to develop across the west and central portions of the CWA. CAM guidance continue to show a wake low feature for tonight. Ahead of the low, rain and isolated storm chances will continue. This afternoon through this early evening the environment will be unstable especially with day time heating so an isolated severe storm can't be ruled out across the west during this time however there is a caveat. Mainly rain is unfolding currently on radar and confidence in this evolving into organized storms at this time is low. This means that the severe potential will start later. How things unfold across LA/AR will help determine severe potential into the overnight hours for our region here. This is a conditional situation. The environment will be conducive for organized severe storms as the low pushes across however, the later the evening/night becomes the less instability there will be. If organized storms are able to develop, the main concerns will be hail and damaging winds and a tornado can't be ruled out. As far as timing, 8PM-4AM looks to be the best time for any severe storm activity. Will continue 'Slight' and 'Marginal' risk for severe weather and 'Limited' for gusty winds. /JNE/ Wednesday through Tuesday... The primary concern for the remainder of the forecast is the next round of likely severe thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon into evening time frame. There are slight uncertainties for the morning time period tomorrow, as there are likely to be some boundaries and lingering affects from overnight showers and storms. By the time we get into the afternoon however, continued southerly winds and breaks in the clouds should reset the atmosphere to some degree. An approaching shortwave trough from the west will cause a gradual increase in deep-layer shear through the afternoon and add synoptic scale lift to help trigger storm development. High-res model guidance depict a range of convective evolution, but the fundamentals remain the same: Afternoon MLCAPE values of 1500-2500 J/kg focused especially in the west will support strong updrafts and modest deep-layer shear (30- 40kts 0-6km shear) with some directional shear component will help to organize updrafts into a mix of supercell and linear storm modes. Steep lapse rates will support large hail and increase the potential for significant damaging wind gusts with severe storms. If discrete storms can develop ahead of storm clusters, or as storm clusters congeal into line segments, then some tornadoes will be possible. Forecast effective storm-relative helicity values in excess of 200- 300 m2/s2 will be adequate for some strong tornadoes as well. The greatest threat area looks to be focused through the ArkLaMiss Delta region north of Interstate 20 from that late afternoon/early evening time frame. Storms should get pushed south and east as a cold front catches up to the evening activity. Diminishing support for severe storms farther south and east late in the evening will limit the overall severe risk, but all modes will still be possible as the storms move southeast. For the rest of the week and into early next week, most days will have at least some chance for showers and thunderstorms as a frontal boundary hangs around the Gulf Coast region and as a series of shortwaves move east across the country. It is possible some days may see less of a potential if sufficient storm activity stabilizes the atmosphere for the next day, but at this time "chance" POPs are called for through the period. Some stronger storms may be possible at times, but no widespread threat for severe storms exists at this time. Also with the boundary wavering across the region, the potential for bouts of heavy downpours is possible and some localized flooding can't be ruled out through early next week. /NF/ && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF discussion: Showers and thunderstorms continue to overspread the area, especially west of I-55. This activity will continue through the evening and into the overnight hours with a lull in activity expected from the early morning to early afternoon. However, a few isolated showers will remain possible during this period. Another round of more intense and possibly severe thunderstorms is expected tomorrow across much of the area from the early afternoon through the evening. Reduced visibility and ceilings will be possible with any of this activity. In addition, winds will be quite gusty out of the south through the TAF period with gusts upwards of 30-35kts. /TW/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
