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, 8.5 hours before the alert went out and 231 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 NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 211 PM MDT SUN JUN 25 2006 .SHORT TERM... ...MAIN CONCERN IS TSRA RETURNING TO THE C AND SW MTNS AND ASSOCIATED FIRE WX CONCERNS... CURRENTLY...RIDGE ALOFT CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE WEST...AND IS NOW LOCATED OVER C NEVADA. THIS IS ALLOWING MOISTURE TO WORK ITS WAY WEST INTO THE MTNS. RADAR AT THE NOON HOUR WAS INDICATING TSRA AS FAR W AS THE C MTNS AND E SLOPES OF THE SW MTNS. REST OF TODAY...DRIER AIR WILL SLOWLY WORK ITS FROM EAST TO WEST OVER THE PLAINS DECREASING THE CHANCE OF PRECIP ON THE FAR EAST PLAINS. BEST CHANCE OF POPS BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ON THE E FACING SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY THE SANGRES AND PIKES PEAK/FRONT RANGE REGION. SINCE AMPLE LLVL MSTR IS STILL AVAILABLE ALONG WITH SOME SHEAR...A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER THE FAR S SXNS OF THE SANGRES. TONIGHT...TSRA SHOULD CONTINUE INTO MID EVENING BEFORE GRADUALLY DYING OFF. SKIES SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR AND IT SHOULD BE A REFRESHINGLY COOL NIGHT. WITH THE DEEPENING EASTERLY FLOW OVER THE INTERIOR MTNS...THE LWR LVL MSTR WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE HIGHER TRRN. TOMORROW...SHOULD SEE SCTD TSRA ALL AREAS OF THE HIER TRRN. WITH THE SJU MTNS...AND LESSER EXTENT THE C MTNS...IN DROUGHT CONDITIONS...AND ALONG W/COORD WITH NWS GJT...HAVE ISSUED A FIRE WX WATCH FOR THE SW AND C MTN REGION. THIS WATCH IS FOR DRY LTG...ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THE PERIOD. THIS LTG ACTIVITY WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO START NEW FIRES...ESPECIALLY IN THE SW MTN REGION. ON THE PLAINS...PRECIP WILL BE RESTRICTED TO MAINLY THE I-25 CORRIDOR REGION WITH THE LLVL NE FLOW AND NW FLOW ALOFT. /HODANISH .LONG TERM... FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE TIMING OF SHORTWAVES AND SHALLOW COLD FRONT THROUGH THE SE PLAINS AND ITS AFFECT ON TEMPS/POPS... LARGE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE WESTERN US WITH A TROF TO OUR EAST. THIS KEEPS SE CO UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED. LATEST MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE PROGRESS OF THE COLD FRONT INTO SE CO ON TUESDAY...WITH NAM-WRF INDICATING AXIS OF 50+ DEW POINTS REMAINING ACROSS NE/NRN KS. AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY...DEW POINTS ACROSS SE CO REMAIN IN THE 40S...AND EVEN THE MOUNTAINS HOLD ON TO ENOUGH LOW LVL MOISTURE TO WARRANT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THE LOWER DEW POINTS...CAPES RANGE FROM 200-1000 J/KG WITH THE HIGHEST READINGS OVER THE MOUNTAINS. 0-6 KM BULK SHEARS REMAIN AROUND 20-30KTS SO NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH IN THE WAY OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...THOUGH COULDNT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE STORM OVER THE MOUNTAINS PRODUCING PENNY SIZE HAIL. A MORE DISTINCT SHORTWAVE PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS CO ON WEDNESDAY...MEANWHILE SHALLOW COLD FRONT BACKDOORS INTO SE CO TUESDAY NIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY. SE LOW LVL FLOW ADVECTS UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50 DEW POINTS BACK INTO THE SE PLAINS...THUS CAPES AND BULK SHEARS SHOULD BE HIGHER. CHALLENGE THIS DAY WILL BE HOW MUCH STABILIZATION WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE FRONT. NAM-WRF NOT SHOWING MUCH CIN ACROSS THE SE PLAINS...AND WITH SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH...SHOULD BE ABLE TO OVERCOME WHAT MEAGER CIN IS LEFT. THUS...KEPT ISOLATED POPS RAMPING UP TO SCATTERED IN THE AFTN ACROSS THE SE PLAINS. OUT WEST...LOW LVL MOISTURE HANGS IN ALLOWING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTN THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON. UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EASTWARD FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN A WARMING AND DRYING TREND...ESPECIALLY FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. -KT && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
