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 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
Denver, CO (KDNR), launched 12:00Z, 11.1 hours before the alert went out and 240 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 3:05 PM MDT, 2 hours 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 305 PM MDT FRI JUN 10 2005 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND SATURDAY) CURRENTLY...UPPER TROUGH ROTATING ACROSS COLORADO PRODUCING SCT TO NUMEROUS TSRA ACROSS THE AREA...WITH BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE OVER THE FAR ERN PLAINS IN DEEPER MOISTURE. CAPE MIN CENTERED NEAR KPUB KEEPING A LID ON STORMS FROM SOUTH OF KCOS TO JUST NORTH OF WALSENBURG. TONIGHT...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA...WITH PERHAPS SOME ACTIVITY LINGERING PAST MIDNIGHT ALONG THE KS BORDER. MENTIONED SEVERE IN THE ZONES ONLY FOR THE CURRENT SEVERE TSRA WATCH...AS INSTABILITY FARTHER WEST LOOKS INSUFFICIENT FOR BIG STORMS. SATURDAY...NEXT UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES LATE IN THE DAY...MAYBE SLIGHTLY TOO LATE FOR SEVERE OVER THE EAST. MODELS AGAIN APPEAR TO UNDERESTIMATE MOISTURE/CAPE ACROSS THE PLAINS...ESPECIALLY FAR EAST ALONG THE KS BORDER. WILL KEEP SCT TSRA FOR NOW...BUT WONT MENTION SEVERE FOR NOW. KEPT TEMPS NEAR GUIDANCE MAXES...WITH REMAINING GRIDS LOOKING VERY GOOD. --ETP .LONG TERM... (SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY) CHALLENGES ARE COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...UPPER TROUGH INFLUENCES SENSIBLE WEATHER ACROSS CWFA...CAUSING SYNOPTIC ASCENT WITH RIGHT REAR ENTRANCE REGION OF NORTHEASTERN JET AND LEFT FRONT EXIT REGION OF SOUTHERN JET. NAM MODEL PROG CAPES TO INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT OVER EXTREME SOUTHEAST COLORADO TO VALUES OVER 1K J/KG ACROSS PROWERS AND BACA COUNTIES. COULD BE SOME HAIL AND HEAVY RAINERS DOWN THAT WAY...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. HAVE HIGH SCATTERED POPS GOING IN GRIDS AND WILL LIKELY MAKE ONLY SOME MINOR TWEAKS. DURING SUNDAY... TROUGH AXIS MOVES TO COLORADO KANSAS BORDER BY 00Z. MOST FAVORED AREA FOR PRECIPITATION WOULD BE ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE AREA. CAPE VALUES AREA BELOW .5K J/KG...SO WOULD NOT EXPECT SEVERE AT THIS TIME. SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...MARKED DIFFERENCE IN GFS AND NAM MODELS SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. NAM HAS SHORTWAVE RIDGE BUILDING OVER WYOMING AND WESTERN COLORADO AND GFS HAS CUTOFF LOW OVER WESTERN WYOMING. NATIONAL FOLKS AND SURROUNDING OFFICES SEEM TO BE GOING WITH GFS SOLUTION WHICH WOULD HAVE MORE SHOWERS OF RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS OUR CENTRAL AND WESTERN MOUNTAINS SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY THAN IN OR GOING FORECAST. TUESDAY THROUGH LATE WEEK...RIDGE POPS UP OVER ROCKIES DUE TO TROUGH IN THE GREAT LAKES AND DEEPENING TROUGH IN PACIFIC. INHERITED ISOLATED POPS IN HIGHER TERRAIN TUESDAY...AND THAT SEEMS REASONABLE WITH WEAK INSTABILITY AND SOME MOISTURE. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY... A RIPPLE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE EASTERN TROUGH MAY SEND A WEAK FRONT AND AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ACROSS OUR PLAINS...SO ISOLATED POPS LOOK GOOD BOTH DAYS THERE. FRIDAY...HAVE ELECTED TO KEEP IT DRY FOR NOW WITH UNCERTAINLY OF WHETHER EASTERN MOISTURE WILL BE IN KANSAS OR EASTERN COLORADO. -TLM- && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 10/13
