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, Jul 19, 3:08 PM MDT, 2 hours 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
308 PM MDT SUN JUL 19 2009

.SHORT TERM...

CURRENTLY...CONVECTION INCREASING OVER THE I-25 CORRIDOR. STORMS
ASSOCIATED WITH SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVG THROUGH THE AREA ARE A BIT
STRONGER THAN MODELS ARE HINTING AT GIVEN SO-SO DWPTS ALONG THE
I-25 CORRIDOR.

IF STORMS HOLD TOGETHER...THEN THEY WILL HIT THE MID 50 DEWPTS OUT
EAST ALONG WITH THE STRONGER LLVL FLOW...SO EXPECT SOME
WIND/HAILERS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. BEST CONVECTION MAY ACTUALLY
BE STILL OVER FAR SOUTH WHERE BEST CAPE PROJECTED (GREATER KTAD
AREA).

LATER TONIGHT FRONT MOVES THROUGH SO EXPECT IT WILL BE A BIT MORE
STABLE EARLY TOMORROW.  BY LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AS FLOW BECOMES
MORE EASTERLY...STORMS WILL LIKELY GET GOING OVER THE S FACING
MTNS...ESPECIALLY S MTNS. /HODANISH

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

...NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES WITH STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...

.MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...SURFACE FRONT PASSES OVER THE PLAINS
SOMETIME MONDAY EVENING. BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON NAM HAS OVER 1000
J/KG OF CAPE OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND INTERSTATE 25
CORRIDOR. BY THE EVENING THE NAM CAPE FIELD BECOMES CONTAMINATED
WITH MODEL PRODUCED CONVECTION...BUT IS SUGGESTS THE AXIS OF
INSTABILITY WILL SPREAD TO THE SOUTHEAST. GFS SUGGESTS BEST
INSTABILITY WILL BE FURTHER EAST. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM HAVE A WEAK
DISTURBANCE...WHICH CURRENTLY IS OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST...RIDING
OVER THE RIDGE AND PASSING OVER THE REGION LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AND INTO THE EVENING. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS FROM THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND EASTWARD TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SPC DAY 3 HAS A SEE TEXT FOR THIS AREA
WHICH LOOKS GOOD. OVER THE REMAINING MOUNTAINS AND HIGH
VALLEYS...MID LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER
HIGH FOR ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION.

.WEDNESDAY...ANOTHER DISTURBANCE RIDES OVER THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF
THE RIDGE.  NAM AND GFS SUGGESTS THE LEE TROUGH WILL MOVE NEAR THE
KANSAS BORDER DURING THE DAY. BOTH NAM AND GFS HAVE CAPES IN
EXCESS OF 1000 J/KG DURING THE AFTERNOON NEAR THE KANSAS BORDER
WITH BULK SHEARS OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS. WHILE CANNOT GET VERY SPECIFIC
THIS FAR OUT...WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR THREAT OF STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS ON THE PLAINS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. OVER THE
REMINDER OF THE REGION...MID LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO MOVE
AROUND RIDGE WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND NEARBY AREAS.

.THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...INTERESTING MODEL EVOLUTION WITH
DISTURBANCE MOVING OVER THE RIDGE DURING THIS PERIOD.  SEVERAL
DISTURBANCES ARE SEEN SPINNING IN THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC. ONE
DISTURBANCE...LOCATED AROUND 35N AND 138W...IS A REMNANT OF TROPICAL
STORM DELORES...AND THIS MAY BE THE DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO THE
REGION ON TUESDAY. EC TAKES A DISTURBANCE OVER THE RIDGE...AND ON
SUNDAY MERGES IT...OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS...WITH A DISTURBANCE
MOVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF CANADA. THE GFS STALLS A COMPACT UPPER LOW
NEAR SEATTLE BEFORE DRIFTING IT WEST...AND THE TROUGH WHICH MOVES
SOUTHEAST OUT OF CANADA IS SLOWER. TYPICALLY...TROUGHS TEND TO
WEAKEN SIGNIFICANTLY AS THEY MOVE INTO THE RIDGE...AND I AM NOT
COMFORTABLE WITH EITHER SOLUTION. AS A RESULT...JUST KEPT A
GENERIC FORECAST IN THIS PERIOD WITH LESS POTENTIAL FOR STRONG
STORMS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. GFS AND EC SUGGEST A TROUGH MAY
COMBINE WITH A COLD FRONT OVER THE WEEKEND FOR MORE ACTIVE
WEATHER...BUT DO NOT HAVE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THE SPECIFICS.
--PGW--

&&

.AVIATION...VFR ALL 3 TAFS SITES EXCEPT FOR BRIEF PDS OF CONVECTION
THIS AFTERNOON. ALL 3 SITES MAY SEE SOME ISOLD TSRA. SOME STRONG
WINDS POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS.

FLOW TOMORROW WILL NOT BE DIURNAL DUE TO GRADUAL FROPA. EXPECT N
COMP TO WINDS LATER TONIGHT AND SHIFTING TO NE THEN E BY LATE IN THE
DAY.

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
