The radar

The Pueblo radar (KPUX), 35 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:42 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 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 (KDEN), launched 12:00Z, 9.7 hours before the alert went out and 207 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, Jul 29, 3:35 PM MDT, 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
335 PM MDT MON JUL 29 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 242 PM MDT MON JUL 29 2013

THE REST OF TODAY...A FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CAUGHT IN THE
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS SHIFTING INTO WESTERN COLORADO.  SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS
AND MOVED INTO THE PALMER DIVIDE AREA INCLUDING COLORADO SPRINGS.
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND MODEST INSTABILITY HAVE ALLOWED
THESE CELLS TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND DIME SIZE HAIL.
IF THESE CELLS MOVE OVER AREA BURN SCARS...FLASH FLOODING WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WEST FORK COMPLEX AND WALDO CANYON.
IN ADDITION...LOCALIZED STREET FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE
COLORADO SPRINGS METRO AREA.

TONIGHT...MODELS ALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH ACTIVITY INCREASING IN
COVERAGE AND SPREADING EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.  THE PRIMARY FOCUS WILL REMAIN OVER THE
MOUNTAINS...PALMER DIVIDE AND RATON MESA...WITH LESS COVERAGE ALONG
THE ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN.  LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND PEA TO DIME
SIZE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS.  HIGH-RES MODELS HAVE THE UPPER
WAVE QUICKLY MOVING EAST THROUGH MIDNIGHT WITH SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DISSIPATING AND MOVING EAST INTO KANSAS BY 3
AM.  SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL CLEAR THE AREA OUT
BY TUESDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY...AN UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL MOVE EAST OVER COLORADO BY
TUESDAY MORNING WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE DROPS SOUTH OUT OF
WYOMING INTO EASTERN COLORADO.  DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE ROCKIES
WITH MUCH LESS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAN WE HAVE SEEN THE PAST FEW
DAYS.  EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS.  LESS CERTAINTY EXISTS OVER THE PLAINS.  NORTHERLY FLOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER DISTURBANCE SHOULD HELP FOCUS CONVECTION
OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE AND RATON MESA...WHILE MOST OF THE ARKANSAS
RIVER BASIN WILL LIKELY REMAIN SHADOWED OUT.  WHILE MOISTURE WILL BE
SOMEWHAT LIMITED...ANY CELLS THAT MOVE OVER AREA BURN SCARS COULD
PUT DOWN A QUICK BURST OF HEAVY RAINFALL...AND POSSIBLE FLASH
FLOODING.  MOZLEY

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 242 PM MDT MON JUL 29 2013

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...AN AMPLIFIED UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
REGION WILL HELP SHUNT THE MOISTURE PLUME TO THE NORTH THROUGH
WED...KEEPING CONVECTION MORE ISOLATED AND TIED TO THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. MAX TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S
FOR THE PLAINS...AND IN THE 80S FOR THE HIGH VALLEYS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...AN UPPER DISTURBANCE SWEEPING
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WED AFTN IS FORECAST TO PUSH A COLD FRONT
DOWN EASTERN CO WED NIGHT. THIS SHOULD SERVE TO INCREASE LLVL
MOISTURE ACROSS THE E PLAINS AND UP AGAINST THE E MTS...WITH AN
ENHANCED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE WED NIGHT THROUGH
THU. IN ADDITION...THE UPPER RIDGE FLATTENS SOMEWHAT AND THE MONSOON
MOISTURE PLUME DROPS BACK DOWN ACROSS THE STATE. THOUGH THE GFS
INDICATES WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND STORM ACTIVITY EACH DAY AND
NIGHT...FEEL THAT THIS IS OVERDONE AND DECIDED TO SIDE WITH DIURNAL
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TIED MAINLY TO THE MTS BEYOND THU AFTN. TEMPS
REMAIN IN THE 90-95 F RANGE FOR THE PLAINS...AND IN THE 80S FOR THE
HIGH VALLEYS.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...EC AND GFS MODELS SHOW THE UPPER RIDGE
FLATTENING CONSIDERABLY...AS WELL AS A DRYING TREND SETTLING IN FOR
THE CWA. CUT BACK POPS FROM WHAT THE EXTENDED PROCEDURE
PRODUCED...WITH NO APPRECIABLE CHANGE IN TEMPS. MOORE

KALS...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE
AND MOVE OVER THE SAN LUIS VALLEY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
ONE OR TWO STORMS MAY MOVE OVER THE TERMINAL THROUGH 01Z WITH
REDUCED VIS AND CIGS UNDER CELLS.

KCOS...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE RAMPART RANGE AND ARE MOVING
EAST OVER AND NEAR THE TERMINAL. MODELS INDICATING THE PERIOD OF NOW
THROUGH 01Z WILL BE MOST ACTIVE.  REDUCED VIS AND CIGS TO MVFR TO
IFR IN THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE. EXPECT ACTIVITY TO CLEAR THE AREA
THIS EVENING.

KPUB...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED OVER THE MOUNTAINS WEST OF THE TERMINAL BUT COVERAGE WILL
LIKELY BE LESS THAN UP NORTH AT KCOS. CONTINUING WITH VCTS THROUGH
THIS EVENING...BUT CONFIDENCE IN A CELL HITTING THE TERMINAL IS LOW.
IF A THUNDERSTORM DOES MOVE OVER THE TERMINAL IT WILL PRODUCED
REDUCED CIGS AND VIS.  MOZLEY
