The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
234 PM MDT FRI JUN 22 2007

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND SATURDAY)

MAIN CONCERN IS THE SEVERE POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS
EVENING...AND PCPN COVERAGE . SEVERE TSTM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE
SERN PLAINS UPR RIDGE WL REMAIN OVR THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD.  THERE IS
PLENTY OF MSTR OVR THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON FOR WIDELY SCT TO SCT
PCPN COVERAGE. LAPS DATA OVR THE FAR SERN PLAINS INDICATES CAPE
VALUES AROUND 2000 J/KG...BUT CURRENTLY THERE IS ALSO A FAIR AMOUNT
OF CIN.  ALONG AND W OF I-25 THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN
INTENSIFYING...WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS.  0-6KM SHEAR VALUES TODAY OVR
THE AREA ARE ABOUT 25-30 KTS...SO NOT A BIG CONCERN FOR ROTATING
STORMS. IF WE CAN GET RID OF SOME OF THAT CIN OVR THE FAR SERN
PLAINS...SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OUT THERE AS WELL.  THE MAIN
THREATS FROM STORMS TODAY WL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL. SAT IT
LOOKS A LITTLE DRIER OVR THE AREA...AND STORM COVERAGE SHOULD BE
MORE ISOLATED.

.LONG TERM...
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)

WARMING UP AND DRYING OUT WILL BE THE TREND THROUGH MONDAY AS THE
HOT RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST TRANSLATES
NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE PERIOD.  BY MON...H7 TEMPS WARM TO +16C IN
THE EAST TO +22C OUT WEST...WHICH COULD YIELD TEMPS IN THE 90S TO
AROUND 100 ACROSS THE PLAINS...WITH 70S/80S FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND
HIGH VALLEYS.  ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL LINGER FOR THE DIURNAL THREAT
FOR HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS...WHILE SOUTHEAST
PLAINS REMAIN TOO CAPPED FOR CONVECTION.  MAIN THREAT WITH
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE GUSTY WINDS AND LIGHTNING. GOING POP GRIDS
LOOK PRETTY GOOD.

SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUES...WHICH SENDS A COLD FRONT THROUGH EASTERN CO ON TUES.  THIS
SHOULD COOL OFF EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA FOR TUES ALONG WITH
BRINGING A POSSIBLE UPSWING IN PCPN TO THE EASTERN MTS/ADJACENT
PLAINS.  THIS FAR OUT...TOO SOON TO TELL WHETHER PLAINS WILL END UP
BEING TOO CAPPED FOR CONVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT.  THUS...WILL LEAVE
SOME TOKEN 10 POPS ACROSS THE AREA.  LOW LVL FLOW REMAINS
SOUTHEASTERLY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED...WITH DEW
POINTS REMAINING IN THE 50S ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS.  DEEP LAYER
SHEARS NOT TERRIBLY IMPRESSIVE (UP TO 30 KTS)...THOUGH ENOUGH
INSTABILITY MAY BE PRESENT FOR A FEW PULSE TYPE STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS.  HAVE BOOSTED POPS ALONG THE EASTERN MTS/ADJACENT
PLAINS...ESP FOR TUES AND WED...THOUGH STILL KEEPING THEM IN THE
ISOLATED CATEGORY FOR NOW.  -KT

&&

.AVIATION...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WIND
GUSTS IN THE VICINITY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WITH GUSTS OF
40 TO 50 KTS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL
FOR SOME ISOLATED AREA OF HEAVY RAIN.

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
