Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this tornado warning; the first came 66 minutes after it went out.

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.

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 30, 1:13 PM CDT, 1 hour 39 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
113 PM CDT Wed Mar 30 2022

...SEVERE STORMS AND HIGH WINDS EXPECTED INTO THIS EVENING...

.UPDATE...
Updated for 18Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF discussion:
Southerly winds sustained 25-30kts with gusts of 40-50 kts are
expected ahead of a line of TSRA. The TSRA could bring gusts to
75kts along with flight restrictions. The line of TSRA wl affect
GLH by 19Z and continue east across the area this aftn into evng.
The line is expected to be around the I-55 corridor around 22z and
east of MS by 03Z. Lighter winds are expected once the TSRA move
through. VFR conditions are expected to prevail away from TSRA
activity until after 05Z when MVFR ceilings will be possible. VFR
conditions are expected to prevail areawide Thursday after 14Z.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Not much to add or change to the going forecast as expectations
remain the same as prev forecasts. JAN 12z sounding has a large
cap, but erosion of that cap through isentropic ascent and strong
forcing will focus convection in the line as has been prev noted.
I will add that the more S you go, the orientation of the deep
shear favors some discrete updrafts, but the lower/mid level
forcing is driving a linear mode. So, the trade of may be some
potential for a broken line in spots. Ultimately, same threats
hold with damaging winds, then some tornado threat.

Timing looks to be basically the same. The 12 hrrr is a tad slower,
but when assessing the current line and it's movement, the timing in
our graphics remains very solid. Anticipate tornado watches to be
added well in advance of the line with something out likely in the
11 to noon time window. /CME/

Prior discussion below:

Today and tonight...

Quite an active day in store for the region. Just walk outside and
you can tell something in the weather will occur today. It has been
very warm overnight with temperatures in the lower 70s through the
night. A very potent southerly wind has prevailed with the 850mb low
level jet really kicking in tonight. Sustained winds overnight have
been 15-20kts with gusts around 25-30kts, even a brief near 40kt
gust at JAN.

Much of the forecast thinking remains the same. The upper trough
across the west will continue to track east and become negatively
tilted with time. As this occurs, the 990mb surface low will track
across the Mid-Mississippi Valley region and deepen. The line of
storms currently ongoing over the DFW metroplex will continue to
track east through the morning hours. This line is expected to reach
the western part of our forecast are by around noon-1pm. Some of
this line may be a little broken at first before intensifying and
congealing more into a solid squall line/QLCS. This line is expected
to quickly become severe as it encounters an airmass that will reach
the low to mid 80s before it moves through. Widespread 1400-1600
J/kg of MUCAPE, 45-55kts of deep layer shear, 300-600 m2/s2 helicity
all look to be in place to organize storms and produce a potent QLCS
to move through the region today. Given the abundance of wind in
place today, widespread damaging winds up to 80mph is expected and
there remains potential for tornadoes as well, including a strong
tornado. CAM guidance still indicates less potential for discrete
storms to develop ahead of the line(which if one of these were to
occur would be more supportive to produce a strong tornado in this
environment). With sufficient mixing today, 20 degree
Temperature/dewpoint spreads would support higher LCL heights, which
could mitigate tornadogenesis but especially reduce the strong
tornado risk today. However this risk remains non-zero given the
sufficient shear and helicity in place and if a supercell were to
develop along the line then the risk for a stronger tornado would
exist. A moderate risk still is in place for the entire region.
However, it is prudent to note that with this event we are not
expecting the QLCS to produce quite the numbers of tornadoes as we
saw last week, though certainly an embedded one is possible. We are
most concerned about the damaging wind aspect of this line and this
will certainly be widespread and likely to affect a larger portion
of our population. Winds up to 80mph, in addition to the gradient
wind ahead of the line, will pose risks of downed trees and
powerlines and result in power outages.

Of additional concern is the gradient wind ahead of/outside of
thunderstorms today. As mentioned, winds are already stout this
morning and with additional mixing up to around 850mb which would
suggest tapping into gusts around 45-50kts, and increasing low level
jet, winds will only continue to get stronger ahead of the squall
line through the afternoon. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph will be
possible, but we could see some higher gusts of 55-60mph. Generally
speaking, I feel really good about the gusts nearing 55mph, but am
quite concerned about a few locations(likely more isolated than
widespread) of reaching 60mph. That being said, the gradient winds
will be as much of a concern ahead of the line and have gone ahead
and issued a High Wind Warning to account for this. Once the line
passes, winds will remain gusty but should return to gusts closer to
20-25mph through the evening into tonight. Gusts will diminish after
midnight to around 15mph.

As the line moves through the region, there could be some locally
heavy rainfall. However, given the quick movement to it and lack of
indications of any training storms, the flooding risk is of lower
concern and will continue to not mention this in the HWO or
graphics.

Hold on to your hats, folks....it will be a windy, active weather
day today! /28/

Thursday through Next Wednesday...

After Wednesday's system, the longterm is pretty quiet. There will
be a series of shortwaves introducing rain chances periodically
throughout the forecast. Thursday afternoon, the elongated trough
centered over the Midwest will begin to shift east and mid-level
ridging will start to build in behind it. Dry weather will prevail
Thursday and Friday as this happens. By Saturday morning the first
shortwave will push across the ArkLaMiss while at the same time, a
stalled boundary along the Gulf will help increase rain chances
across the Deep South. Long range models continue to struggle with
timing and how far north the rain will be so for now, kept light
rain through Saturday morning. By the afternoon, the previously
mentioned wave will have transitioned east and dry air will filter
into the region returning dry conditions across the area through
Monday. A second shortwave is expected Tuesday which will bring
another round of rain across the ArkLaMiss. Temperatures will vary
throughout the period. Thursday and Friday highs will range from the
60s to low 70s while a warming trend is expected Saturday through
Monday. Temperatures will warm into the upper 70s for most places
while some areas south of I-20 will see temps rise into the mid
80s. /JNE/
