The radar

The Pueblo radar (KPUX), 40 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 01:39 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 flash flood 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, 1.6 hours before the alert went out and 173 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
313 PM MDT TUE JUL 20 2010

.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)

...THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SVR TS MAINLY
THIS EVE. PLAINS CURRENTLY LOOKING QUITE CAPPED...WITH CIN ABOVE 100
J/KG E OF I-25. STATIONARY BOUNDARY IS LOCATED JUST S OF THE NM-CO
BORDER AND FOCUS THERE MAY STAY S OF OUR CWA. UPPER FORCING NO VERY
STRONG...BUT IT APPEARS A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE
DESERT SW THIS AFTERNOON...AND COMBINE WITH A QUICK-MOVING SHORT
WAVE MOVING THRU THE NRN ROCKIES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVE.
BULK SHEARS NOT ALL THAT STRONG...IN THE 25-35 KT RANGE...BUT WITH
CAPES FROM 1000-2000 J/KG AND SOME RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES COULD
POTENTIALLY SEE A SUPERCELL OR TWO...ALTHO THE PRIMARY STORM MODE
SHOULD BE MULTICELLULAR. MAIN THREATS WILL BE WIND ALONG WITH SOME
MARGINAL SVR HAIL OVR THE I-25 CORRIDOR...AND PERHAPS SLIGHTLY
LARGER HAIL TO THE N AND E WHERE SHEAR AND INSTABILITY ARE A BIT
HIGHER. BUT THE LATTER WILL LIKELY HOLD OFF TIL THIS EVE DUE TO THE
STRONGER CAP. SHOULD SEE A DECENT COVG OF STORMS MOVE ACROSS THE CWA
FROM W TO E THIS EVE...WINDING DOWN LATE THIS EVE. SOME LOW CLOUDS
AGAIN POSSIBLE OVR THE NRN ZONES BY EARLY WED MORNING.

TOMORROW...SHOULD BE A TYPICAL JULY DAY WITH NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
AVG TEMPS AND MONSOONAL MOISTURE TO CONTEND WITH IN THE AFTERNOON.
UPPER WINDS RELAX ON WED...SO MAIN FOCUS WILL SHIFT TOWARDS THE
THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH AFTERNOON AND EVE STORMS.
PROGS INDICATE THAT THE SFC LOW WILL SET UP FARTHER TO THE N AND E
TOMORROW AFTERNOON...WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING THRU CENTRAL
KS. THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WILL FALL MAINLY OVR THE NRN ZONES
INCLUDING EL PASO AND KIOWA COUNTIES. ROSE

.LONG TERM...
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)

SURFACE BOUNDARY REMAINS ALONG OR JUST NORTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER
THROUGH WED EVENING...WHICH SHOULD KEEP FOCUS FOR HEAVIER RAIN
OVER NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA. NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF UPPER
LEVEL FEATURES TO KEEP STORMS GOING PAST MIDNIGHT...SO WILL TRIM
BACK POPS OVER MOST AREAS...KEEPING SOME ISOLATED TSRA OVER THE
SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...WHERE MID-LEVEL MOISTURE LOOKS
SLIGHTLY DEEPER. ON THURSDAY...MID LEVEL MOISTURE PLUME REMAINS
SOLIDLY IN PLACE OVER THE AREA...THOUGH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
GRADUALLY WORKS DOWN TO THE SURFACE AT MOST LOCATIONS BY
AFTERNOON...WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS FALLING INTO THE 40S ACROSS THE
PLAINS. MODELS STILL DEVELOP FAIRLY WIDESPREAD PRECIP BY
EARLY EVENING...THOUGH SUSPECT STORM INTENSITY AND RAINFALL
POTENTIAL WILL BE LOWER THAN THE PAST FEW DAYS AS SURFACE
INSTABILITY LESSENS. CONTINUED TO UNDERCUT GUIDANCE MAX TEMPS THU
AFTERNOON...AS 700 MB TEMPS CHANGE LITTLE AND MOS CONTINUES ITS
WARM BIAS.

AIR MASS APPEARS TO DRY FRIDAY...AS WESTERLY FLOW INCREASES IN
RESPONSE TO WEAK UPPER TROUGH EJECTING INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
OVER THE MOUNTAINS...BEST MOISTURE SHOULD REMAIN OVER SOUTHERN
SECTIONS...WHILE SOUTHERN EDGE OF DRIER AIR LIMITS STORM CHANCES
OVER CENTRAL MOUNTAIN ZONES. OVER THE PLAINS...RATHER DIFFUSE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPS SOUTH DURING THE DAY...THOUGH BEST UPSLOPE
SURGE AND DEEPER MOISTURE SEEMS TO WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY EVENING TO
MOVE SOUTH. KEPT ISOLATED TO LOW END SCATTERED POPS OVER MOST
ZONES THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...THOUGH MAY NEED TO INCREASE POPS
OVER THE PLAINS IF DEEPER MOISTURE CAN MAKE IT HERE IN TIME.
CONTINUED TO UNDERCUT GUIDANCE TEMPS SLIGHTLY FOR MAXES MOST
LOCATIONS.

FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...PATTERN CONTINUES TO LOOK RATHER WET FOR
MOST OF THE REGION...WITH PERSISTENT UPSLOPE PUSHING 60F DEWPOINTS
TOWARD I-25 BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WHILE WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW IN THE
MID AND UPPER LEVELS KEEPS AIR MASS FAIRLY MOIST OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. DIDN'T BOOST POPS TOO MUCH YET...THOUGH IF MODEL TRENDS
CONTINUE...MAY NEED HIGHER POPS MANY AREAS BOTH SAT AND SUN. FLOW
ALOFT WILL BE VERY WEAK BOTH DAYS...WITH SLOW MOVING STORMS AND
A THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING. CLOUDS AND PRECIP SHOULD KEEP MAX
TEMPS BOTH DAYS COOLER THAN AVERAGE FOR A CHANGE.

SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT INCREASES SLIGHTLY EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
SOME MODEST DRYING SPREADING OVER THE AREA. STILL MORE THAN ENOUGH
MOISTURE FOR AT LEAST ISOLATED STORMS EACH DAY...WITH TEMPERATURES
WARNING BACK TO A LITTLE ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS BY TUE.

&&

.AVIATION...WILL SEE A THREAT FOR TS WITH FREQUENT LTG...BRIEF
GUSTY WINDS...AND SMALL GR...OVR THE TAF SITES PARTICULARLY IN
THE 22Z-03Z TIME FRAME. DEPENDING ON TS COVERAGE...COULD ALSO SEE
SOME MVFR TO LOCALLY IFR CIGS EARLY WED MORNING...PARTICUALRLY FOR
KCOS AND NRN EL PASO COUNTY. MORE STORMS ARE EXPECTED WED
AFTERNOON. ROSE
