Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 6 minutes after it went out.

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, Aug 12, 2:58 PM MDT, 3 hours 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
258 PM MDT MON AUG 12 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 231 PM MDT MON AUG 12 2013

...FLOODING THREAT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

MAIN CONCERN THROUGH TOMORROW IS THE CONTINUED FLOODING
THREAT...PARTICULARLY FOR THE WALDO CANYON SCAR AND OTHER AREA BURN
SCARS. DEWPOINTS CONTINUE TO HOLD IN THE 50S OVER MUCH OF THE ERN
PLAINS...WITH SOME LOWER 60S NR THE KS BORDER. SCATTERED TO NMRS
SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED OVR THE MTS AND ARE
SPREADING EWD THIS AFTERNOON. SO FAR...RAIN RATES HAVE GENERALLY
BEEN LIGHT TO MDT...BUT THEY SHOULD INCREASE TOWARDS THIS EVENING.

HIGH RES MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW POTENTIAL FOR A CLUSTER OF STORMS
TO DEVELOP OVR THE NRN I-25 CORRIDOR AFTER 00Z. THIS IS LIKELY
ASSOCIATED WITH A COUPLE WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH ERN UT
AT THIS TIME. THESE STORMS WOULD MOVE SLOWLY TO THE SE THIS
EVENING...AND ON TO KS BY LATE TONIGHT. SO THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN WILL
PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST 06Z IF NOT LONGER. WILL MAINTAIN THE FLOOD
WATCH FOR TELLER AND EL PASO THROUGH 3 AM. LINGERING CONVECTION
SHOULD TURN MORE SHOWERY AND ISOLD IN NATURE AS WE HEAD TOWARDS 12Z
TUESDAY.

WITH LINGERING CLOUDS AND PRECIP EARLY...EXPECT TUE MORNING TO BE A
BIT TOO STABLE IN THE LOWER LEVELS TO SUPPORT VIGOROUS CONVECTION.
BUT THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH RECOVERY BY AFTERNOON TO ALLOW MORE
STORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE ERN MTS IN SHALLOW UPSLOPE CONDITIONS
TOMORROW. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY FLOOD WATCHES FOR TOMORROW...SINCE
THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW STRONG AND WIDESPREAD STORMS
WILL BE...AND MUCH WILL DEPEND ON HOW TONIGHT UNFOLDS. ONE THING
THAT LOOKS PRETTY SOLID IS CONTINUED BELOW AVERAGE TEMPS
TOMORROW...GENERALLY UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S FOR THE PLAINS AND
VALLEYS...AND 60S MTS. ROSE

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 231 PM MDT MON AUG 12 2013

ONE MORE FAIRLY WET DAY OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS
WEDNESDAY AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERS AND STRONG UPPER WAVE
CLIPS NORTHEAST COLORADO IN THE AFTERNOON. AS USUAL...MESOSCALE
DETAILS WILL DETERMINE WHERE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL FALL...THOUGH
OVERALL ATMOSPHERE APPEARS PRIMED FOR SLOW MOVING HEAVY RAIN
PRODUCING CELLS ONCE AGAIN. UPPER RIDGE THEN BUILDS ACROSS THE
REGION FROM THU INTO THE WEEKEND...WHICH WILL LIMIT CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY...WITH MOST STORMS TIED TO THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. RENEWED PUSH OF MONSOON MOISTURE AND STRONG UPPER WAVE
THEN DROPS SOUTH INTO THE AREA SUN/MON...LEADING TO SIGNIFICANT
UPTURN IN CONVECTION ALL AREAS BOTH DAYS. MAX TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY
CREEP UPWARD FROM THU ONWARD...THOUGH READINGS WON'T GET MUCH
ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS BEFORE SLIGHT COOLING TREND BEGINS EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 231 PM MDT MON AUG 12 2013

EXPECT AN INCREASED THREAT OF TSRA THIS EVENING AFTER 00Z AND
LASTING AT LEAST THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT AT KCOS AND KPUB. STRONGEST
STORMS COULD PRODUCE SOME SMALL HAIL IN ADDITION TO WIND GUSTS TO 40
KTS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...WHICH COULD REDUCE VIS TO IFR FOR
A BRIEF PERIOD. LINGERING SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS IS EXPECTED LATE TUE
AFTERNOON. STORMS NR KALS SHOULD BE LESS NMRS AND NOT AS STRONG. ROSE

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH LATE TONIGHT FOR COZ081-084-085.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL...EAST
CENTRAL...SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 3 AM TONIGHT FOR
TELLER AND EL PASO COUNTIES. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...AND SOME OF THIS
ACTIVITY COULD LINGER OVER THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. THE
HEAVIEST STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING OVER THE AREA BURN SCARS...BLACK FOREST AND
WALDO CANYON...ALONG WITH OTHER SPOTS PRONE TO FLOODING.

ALSO...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE MAJORITY OF SOUTHERN
COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY
WINDS AND EVEN SOME SMALL HAIL. LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS...ESPECIALLY IF THEY IMPACT
AREA BURN SCARS. A KEEN LEVEL OF WEATHER AWARENESS WILL BE
REQUIRED ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING WILL INCREASE ON
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS AS
A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION...BRINGING INCREASING LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE AND UPSLOPE FLOW. THE BURN SCARS ALONG THE EASTERN
SLOPES INCLUDING THE WALDO...BLACK FOREST...ROYAL GORGE AND EAST
PEAK WILL BE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE BOTH OF THESE DAYS...HOWEVER
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE A THREAT ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST PLAINS WHERE RECENT RAINFALL HAS ALREADY SATURATED THE
SOIL. FLASH FLOOD WATCHES MAY BECOME NECESSARY FOR PORTIONS OF THE
AREA BOTH DAYS. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING SOME HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF PENNIES...WIND GUSTS TO
AROUND 50 MPH...AND DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

MEANWHILE...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS AND INTERIOR
VALLEYS. WHILE THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL IS LOWER FOR THESE
AREAS...THERE WILL STILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING ON THE WEST FORK COMPLEX SHOULD A STRONGER THUNDERSTORM
MOVE OVER THE REGION.

DRIER CONDITIONS WILL MOVE IN FOR LATE IN THE WEEK TRENDING
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DOWNWARD AND DECREASING THE THREAT FOR FLASH
FLOODING ON THE BURN SCARS.

ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
WHICH WILL INCREASE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE
ONCE AGAIN.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
