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 00:00Z, 3.1 hours before the alert went out and 158 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.

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 2, 2:57 PM MDT, 6 hours 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 2:57 PM MDT, 6 hours 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 257 PM MDT WED JUL 2 2008 .SHORT TERM... (TONIGHT AND TOMORROW) ...SHORT TERM CONCERNS INCLUDE TIMING AND EXTENT OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO ALONG WITH THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE... CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW NORTHWEST FLOW MOVING OVER COLORADO. THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DECREASE IN THE WESTERN AREAS AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. THERE REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE EASTERN PLAINS ENDING BY MID EVENING. FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD OCCUR EARLY THIS EVENING. THE MODELS BOTH SEEM TO BE IN RELATIVE AGREEMENT ON THE APPROXIMATE TIMING. WITH AN INFLUX OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE...A STRATUS LAYER WILL FORM OVER SOUTH EASTERN COLORADO. THIS LAYER WILL REMAIN OVER MOST OF THE AREA UNTIL AFTER DAYBREAK. THIS CLOUD LAYER COUPLED WITH THE COLD FRONT...WILL CAUSE REDUCED MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TOMORROW. THE REDUCED MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES AND THE PRESENCE OF CAP IN THE SOUNDINGS WILL REDUCE THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT FOR TOMORROW. THE STRATUS LAYER SHOULD DISSIPATE BY 18Z. THE BEST AREAS FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TOMORROW AFTERNOON SHOULD BE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN NORTHERN KIOWA AND OVER THE MOUNTAINS ESPECIALLY THE SOUTHEAST RANGES. -JC .LONG TERM... (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY) LINGERING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT THE CONCERN FOR THURS EVENING. MAIN FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ALONG THE FRONT TO THE SOUTH... ACROSS THE TX/OK PANHANDLE INTO NE NM AND ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS. WITH 50-55+ DEW POINTS POOLING ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SE MTS IN EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW NAM IS SHOWING UP TO 2000 J/KG OF CAPE IN THIS REGION. WITH EASTERLY LOW LVL FLOW BENEATH NW FLOW ALOFT...DEEP LAYER SHEARS RANGE FROM AROUND 25-30 KTS...ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THIS REGION...WITH MAIN THREATS LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. HOW FAR EAST TO SPREAD SCT POPS IS THE MAIN QUESTION. LATEST NAM12 MODEL SOUNDINGS IN 12Z RUN LOOK CAPPED ACROSS THE PLAINS...AND FORCING ALOFT APPEARS PRETTY WEAK FROM PV LOBE WHICH ORIGINATES FROM NV TODAY. BUT IF CONVECTION CAN BE FORCED BY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES OR IF SUFFICIENT HEATING IS REALIZED AND CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE ATTAINED THEN ITS POSSIBLE SCT POPS MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS THE PLAINS. CURRENT POPS ARE IN LINE WITH LATEST GUIDANCE AND PAST PERFORMANCE OF MODELS SUGGEST NAM IS PROBABLY OVERDOING THE QPF ACROSS SE CO THURS EVENING. THINK MAIN INSTABILITY AXIS WILL END UP BEING FARTHER SOUTH ALONG THE FRONT. ANY WEAK FORCING WILL BE EXITING SE CO OVERNIGHT SO THINK MOST CONVECTION WILL END BY 06Z. RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EASTWARD FOR FRIDAY WHICH SPREADS WARMER AIR ALOFT ACROSS THE REGION BY THE AFTN. DEW POINTS START OUT IN THE 50S ACROSS THE LOWER EASTERN SLOPES/SE PLAINS BUT CRASH INTO THE 30S TO LOWER 40S BY AFTN IN SPITE OF SE LOW LVL FLOW AS DEEP MIXING TAKES PLACE. THIS DECREASES THE CAPES TO LESS THAN 800 J/KG AND DEEP LAYER SHEARS DROP TO LESS THAN 20 KTS. THUS...THREAT FOR ANY SVR THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS TO BE NIL. WARMED UP MAX TEMPS THIS DAY. DECREASED DEW POINTS ALONG THE I-25 CORRIDOR AS WELL...BUT LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO DROP THEM FURTHER IF LATER RUNS CONTINUE TO SHOW SUBSTANTIAL DRYING. SATURDAY/SUN LOOKS RATHER HOT ACROSS THE CWA AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES MOVE THROUGH THE NRN US ROCKIES CUTTING DOWN THE RIDGE TO THE NORTH...AND DEEPENING THE LEE TROF TO THE EAST. H7 TEMPS RANGE FROM +16 TO +20C ACROSS THE AREA...SO LOWER 100S ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SE PLAINS. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW VERY HIGH BASED MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA ASSOC WITH WEAK SHORTWAVES...SO COULD SEE SOME HIGH BASED DRY THUNDERSTORMS THESE DAYS. WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES IN FOR MONDAY THOUGH APPEARS COOLER TEMPS/AND BEST MOISTURE STAYS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON HOW QUICKLY THE MOISTURE MOVES IN. FOR NOW APPEARS BEST THREAT AREA WILL STAY OF TO THE NORTHEAST UNTIL DEEPER SURGE MOVES IN LATER MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUES. UPPER RIDGE REBUILDS OVER THE WEST BY WED WITH LOW LVL EASTERLY FLOW KEEPING LOW LVL MOISTURE TRAPPED UNDER THE RIDGE WITH AFTN/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE EACH DAY...ESP OVER THE MTS. -KT && .AVIATION... ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON REMAIN A POSSIBLE HAZARD UNTIL ABOUT MID EVENING. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN OVER THE MTS AND HIGH VALLEYS ALONG WITH SMALL HAIL...WHILE OVER THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH. THE INCOMING AND SUBSEQUENT LOWERING OF A MID DECK WILL CAUSE MVFR CONDITIONS TOMORROW MORNING ALONG THE I 25 CORRIDOR. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY FOR THIS LAYER TO THICKEN/LOWER AND CAUSE IFR CONDITIONS. THIS LAYER WILL CLEAR OUT BY 18Z TOMORROW AND THE ONLY THREAT WILL BE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND OVER THE MOUNTAINS. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 14/31

A FEW STORMS MAY BE DRY...PRODUCING CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS TO AROUND 50 MPH...WITH LITTLE OR NO RAINFALL. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FEW FIRE STARTS AND INCREASED FIRE DANGER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE I-25 CORRIDOR.

THE MAIN THREATS FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE ONE INCH DIAMETER HAIL...OR LARGER...AND WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. STARTING ON FRIDAY...WARMER AND DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION. AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY...AND THE THREAT FOR MOSTLY DRY THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ADJACENT PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
