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, 0.7 hours before the alert went out and 293 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, Aug 23, 2:24 PM MDT, 4 hours 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
224 PM MDT SAT AUG 23 2008

.SHORT TERM...
(TONIGHT AND SUNDAY)

...MAIN CONCERN IS LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN THIS EVENING S MTNS AND
ADJACENT PLAINS...

CURRENTLY...AS OF EARLY AFTERNOON...MOST CONVECTION LOCATED OVER SW
AND C MTNS WHERE BEST INSTABILITY RESIDES. TEMPS ON THE COOLER SIDE
WITH MAINLY 70S PLAINS. PLENY OF LLVL MOISTURE NOTED ACROSS THE
REGION. WAT VAP SHOWS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WEAK DISTURBANCE OVER SW
WY/NW CO.

REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.
BOTH GFS AND NAM ARE SIGNALLING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IN THEIR
RESPECTIVE QPF FIELDS. NAM IS A BIT FARTHER S ACROSS THE S SANGRES/S
SW MTNS AND SAN LUIS VALLEY WHILE THE GFS IS MAINLY SHOWING HEAVIER
PRECIP ACROSS PIKES PEAK REGION...S ACROSS THE WET MTN REGION. THIS
HEAVY RAIN EVENT IS BEING FORCED BY THE WEAK DISTURBANCE NOTED
ABOVE...CAPES OF 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE...AND THE FACT THAT THE WINDS
THROUGH THE COLUMN ARE RATHER LIGHT...LEADING TOWARDS SLOW STORM
MOTION. I BELIEVE THE THREAT WILL MAINLY BE LOCALIZED (VS
WIDESPREAD) AS I DO NOT SEE  ANY STRONG SE LLVL FLOW IN THE
GUIDANCE. HOW I PLAN TO HANDLE THIS THREAT IS TO MENTION LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN IN THE GRIDDED FCST DATABASE. I DO NOT BELIEVE A FFA IS
NECESSARY ATTM. THIS POTENTIAL HEAVY RAIN ACTIVITY WILL ALSO DEVELOP
A BIT LATER THAN NORMAL DUE TO MORE STABLE AIR WHICH IS CURRENLTY
OVER THE REGION...AND IT WILL TAKE THE ATMOS A BIT LONGER TO REACH
CONVECTIVE TEMP. FOR THE REST OF THE PLAINS...THE STABLE AIR AND
WEAK FLOW WILL LIMIT THE CONVECTION OVER THE FAR E PLAINS...HAVE
KEPT THE POPS RATHER LOW FOR AREAS WELL EAST OF I-25.

TOMORROW...IT WILL DRY OUT A BIT MORE OVER THE REGION AND EXPECT THE
ACTIVITY WILL BE A BIT LESS...AND THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT MUCH LOWER.
AS FOR TEMPS...I AM A BIT AT A LOSS WHY THE NAM WANTS TO KEEP IT SO
COOL OVER THE REGION...AND I HAVE LEANED MORE TOWARDS THE GFS TEMP
GUIDANCE. /HODANISH

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

LONGER TERM METEOROLOGICAL ISSUES ARE PRIMARILY POPS AND
TEMPERATURES. LATEST FORECAST PROJECTIONS SUGGEST THAT ENOUGH
ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE SHOULD REMAIN TRAPPED UNDER UPPER RIDGING
FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY TO ALLOW ISOLATED POPS TO REMAIN
PAINTED OVER THE CWFA DURING THIS TIME-FRAME.

NEXT NORTHERLY SURGE SLATED FOR THURSDAY APPEARS TO IMPACT REGION
LESS THAN ORIGINALLY DEPICTED AND WILL PAINT CWFA WITH SEASONAL
TEMPERATURES IN COMBINATION WITH ISOLATED POPS FROM THURSDAY INTO
NEXT SATURDAY.

REGARDING TEMPERATURES...EXPECT THAT MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES TO RUN ABOVE LATE AUGUST CLIMATOLOGICAL VALUES DURING
THE LONG TERM...WITH THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES ANTICIPATED MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY(ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY). COOLEST TEMPERATURES OF
THE LONG TERM SHOULD BE NOTED BY NEXT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
FINALLY...GRADIENT WINDS TO REMAIN RATHER SUBDUED THROUGH THE
UPCOMING LONG-TERM PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE DIURHAL CONVECTION LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING OVER THE THREE TAF SITES. I DO EXPECT THE THREAT TO BE
OVER WITH BY MID EVENING (01-03Z TIME FRAME). BEST CHANCE WILL BE
KCOS AS STORMS MOVE OFF THE PIKES PEAK MASIF. I DO NOT EXPECT ANY
LOW CLOUDS TONIGHT AS WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY SYNOPTIC SE LLVL FLOW
ACROSS THE PLAINS. THERE MAY BE SOME GROUND FOG TOWARDS SUNRISE
GIVEN THE NON EXISTANT FLOW IN THE LLVLS ACROSS ANY OF THE 3 TAF
SITES...BUT BELIEVE THREAT IS TOO LOW TO MENTION ATTM.

FOR TOMORROW...EXPECT LESS CONVECTION THEN TODAY AS DRIER AIR WILL
BE OVER THE REGION AND NO DISTINGUISHABLE DISTURBANCES ARE NOTED IN
THE GUIDANCE.

&&

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