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.

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

WILL KEEP THIS BRIEF AS IMPENDING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH/DEVELOPING MOIST CONVECTION HOT WEATHER ISSUE OF THE
MOMENT.

CWFA CURRENTLY NOTING FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN NORTHEAST COLORADO WITH
BEST MOISTURE POOLING JUST NORTH OF CWFA.  IN ADDITION...18Z CAPES
HOVERING AROUND 2000 J/KG OVER PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN PLAINS ALONG
WITH LIS IN THE -3 TO -5 RANGE AND 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES IN THE 30 TO
35 KNOT RANGE...THEREFORE EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS/SOME SEVERE
TO ERUPT THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER
THE I-25 CORRIDOR/EASTERN COLORADO PLAINS REGION.

FOR WEDNESDAY(TOMORROW)...NORTHERLY SURGE PUSHES THROUGH CWFA BY
MORNING WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY EASTERN SECTIONS.  AT THIS
TIME...IT APPEARS THE THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWFA.

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY  NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)

...COOLER TEMPS WITH LESS THUNDER ON THE WAY...

A RETURN TO COOLER TEMPERATURES APPEARS TO BE ON THE WAY TO SE
COLORADO. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN DURING THE
NEXT 24-72 HOURS. THIS...COMBINED WITH OUTFLOW FROM COLORADO/KS
MCSS WILL USHER COOLER AND CLOUDIER WEATHER INTO THE REGION. FOR
NOW...I PUT IN MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDTIONS OVER THE PLAINS FOR MOST THE
WED-NITE-FRIDAY TIME PERIOD FOR THE PLAINS. WITH THE CLOUDS AND
COOLER WX...DECIDED TO GREATLY DECREASE THE THUNDER CHANCES AND PUT
IN JUST SHOWERS. MAY ALSO SEE A SMATTERING OF NEW SNOW ON TOP OF
PIKES PEAK DURING THIS FORECAST TIME PERIOD.

FOR THE MTNS...NOT MUCH CHANGE. IT WILL REMAIN DRY AND VERY WARM.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE SLV WHERE THE COOLER EASTERLY FLOW
MAY GET INTO THE VALLEY FOR THU. CONFIDENCE IS NOT ALL THAT HIGH
THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN ATTM...AND LEFT IT ON THE WARM SIDE...BUT WILL
ADVICE LATER SHIFTS OF THIS POSSIBILITY. /HODANISH
