Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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.

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 Shreveport, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Mar 11, 6:08 AM CDT, 26 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

Issued at 102 AM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026
The first round of showers and thunderstorms will remain mostly along and north I-30 overnight.
A more widespread round of showers and thunderstorms (some severe with large hail and damaging winds) will arrive across the Four State Region through the day on
Near-normal conditions return through the weekend into next week.

...New AVIATION...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 102 AM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

- The first round of showers and thunderstorms will remain mostly
  along and north I-30 overnight.

- A more widespread round of showers and thunderstorms (some
  severe with large hail and damaging winds) will arrive across
  the Four State Region through the day on

- Near-normal conditions return through the weekend into next
  week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 102 AM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

Active weather conditions will continue with severe thunderstorms
likely through the next 24-36 hours. Aloft, the main driver of
convection is closed troughing across West Texas, projected to
shift eastward and gradually close off as it swiftly shifts
eastward across the Four State Region later today. As it does so,
short-range computer model guidance suggests a trajectory of the
center of circulation at or just south of the I-20 corridor,
promoting higher amounts of wind shear and enhancing updraft
separation. Storm modes are most likely to hold multi With a
favorable environment for updraft development and separation,
more severe weather threats are on the table, including but not
limited to the following: large hail, damaging winds, and isolated
tornadoes.

Post-frontal conditions will return temperatures back to near-
normal by the end of this week (lower 70s/upper 40s) after a week
of warmer temperatures. This reprieve continues into next week as
a fairly uneventful frontal passage on Sunday delivers a
reinforcing shot of colder air (Monday night temperatures likely
near freezing north of I-30). Long-range guidance suggests that
the rollercoaster ride will continue with another warming trend
(temperature maximums approaching the lower 80s again) by the
middle of next week. /16/

&&

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 608 AM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

For the 11/12Z TAFs, an active forecast period continues as a line
of showers and thunderstorms oriented southwest to northeast
continues to push northeast across the region this morning. This
line has had a history of producing strong wind gusts into southwest
Arkansas. Further showers and storms are expected into this
afternoon, capable of producing damaging wind gusts and possibly a
tornado or two. Thunderstorm impacts will continue through early
evening, diminishing from northwest to southeast. South winds will
persist early in this forecast period, pivoting to northerly as the
front passes through the region beginning this afternoon, becoming
breezier with sustained speeds of 10 to 20 kts overnight and gusts
of up to 30 kts possible.
