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
Albuquerq/Krtlnd, NM (KABQ), launched 12:00Z, 9.1 hours before the alert went out and 87 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.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 8, 3:00 PM MDT, 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 3:00 PM MDT, 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 300 PM MDT TUE JUL 8 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH WEST TOWARD THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. AN INCREASE IN LOWER ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WILL HELP TO INITIATE MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE STORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STORM MOTIONS WILL BE GENERALLY EAST TO WEST OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. MEANWHILE OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO STORM MOTION WILL BE VARIABLE. SLOW MOVING STORMS OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO COULD POSE A LOCALIZED FLOODING THREAT ESPECIALLY OVER FIRE BURN SCARS IN THE REGION. SEASONALLY NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT FIVE TO TEN DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. && .DISCUSSION... A BROAD 593H5 HIGH IS CENTERED OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. THE UPPER HIGH EXTENDS NW INTO UT AND SE INTO W TX. LOWER ATMOSPHERIC FLOW IS VARIABLE OVER N NM AND GENERALLY E TO SE OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE SLOW AND VARIABLE MOTION ACROSS N NM...NORTH OF THE U-40 CORRIDOR...WILL ENHANCE THE LOCALIZED FLOODING THREAT FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EXPECTED TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS AFTERNOON THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND LOWER ATMOSPHERIC CONFLUENT FLOW ACROSS W NM COMBINED WITH OROGRAPHIC ASCENT ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WILL BE A FOCUS FOR THE STRONGEST CONVECTION. ACCORDINGLY...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS BEING ISSUED FOR AREAS OF MOST CONCERN IN WESTERN NM. OROGRAPHIC ASCENT ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL ALSO INITIATE STORMS. AIDING IN CONVECTIVE INITIATION MODEL DIAGNOSTICS INDICATE THAT ALONG WITH THE INCREASED MOISTURE LOWER ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY...CAPE..LI AND THETA-E VALUES ARE INCREASING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...EXCEPT FOR THE FAR SE. THE BROAD UPPER HIGH REMAINS IN PLACE AS THE HIGH CENTER MEANDERS ACROSS N AND CNTRL NM THROUGH THE WEEK SUSTAINING HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES. THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN WITH BURN SCAR AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS THROUGH THE WEEK. EXPECT STORMS TO INITIATE OVER THE MOUNTAINS FIRST THEN TRACK SLOWLY WITH THE PREVAILING FLOW INTO NEARBY VALLEYS AND PLAINS. COLLIDING CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL BE ANOTHER SOURCE FOR STORM INITIATION. EXTENDED RANGE MODEL FORECASTS INDICATE THE UPPER HIGH SHIFTS NW OUT OF NEW MEXICO ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION INTO SOUTHERN UTAH BY SUNDAY AND CENTRAL UTAH BY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. HOWEVER RUN-TO-RUN INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN MODELS WITH THE LOCATION OF THE UPPER HIGH AND ATTENDANT LOW ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FIELDS. 01 && .FIRE WEATHER... SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE BACK DOOR COLD FRONT NEAR THE NM/AZ BORDER...ALONG A N/S LINE THROUGH GALLUP. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED THROUGH 6AM WEDNESDAY FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN NM DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF THIS FRONTAL FORCING...INCREASED MOISTURE...AND SLOW STORM MOTION. DIURNAL HEATING IS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL STORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...WHERE FLASH FLOODING OVER RECENT BURN SCARS REMAINS A RISK. STORM ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET...BUT COLLIDING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SHOULD ALLOW FOR SHOWERS TO PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE COMBO OF MOISTURE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AND TODAYS CONVECTION SHOULD YIELD IMPROVED OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERIES. NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WILL SEE DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE WORK WEEK...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND NEAR NORMAL LEVELS EACH DAY. MODELS SHOW THE THETA-E AXIS STRENGTHENING WEDNESDAY OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL NM...AND REMAIN IN A SIMILAR ORIENTATION THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. PASSING ON ANY FLASH FLOOD WATCH ISSUANCE FOR WEDNESDAY AS FOCUS REMAINS ON ACTIVITY TONIGHT...BUT INCREASED MOISTURE AND SLOW STORM MOTION MAKES FLASH FLOODING A THREAT...ESPECIALLY OVER RECENT BURN SCARS. THE WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WILL REMAIN THE FOCUS FOR STORM ACTIVITY THROUGH THE WEEK...AS NOTED BY THE HIGHEST POPS. THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH CENTER WILL JOSTLE AROUND THE DESERT SW...CAUSING SLIGHT CHANGES IN DAY TO DAY STORM MOTIONS...BUT SLOW MOVING STORMS WILL REMAIN THE THEME. NOT EXPECTING MUCH CHANGE IN DAYTIME MIN RH VALUES...BUT OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL TREND DOWN SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE WEEK. MODELS BEGIN DIVERGING MORE NOTABLY WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH CENTER HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH THE GFS PREFERRING TO SHIFT THE CENTER NW TOWARDS THE GREAT BASIN AND THE ECMWF MORE ELONGATED WITH TWO CENTERS. EITHER WAY...THEY BOTH SHOW THE HIGH BECOMING MORE NW/SE ORIENTED AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES ALONG THE NE PERIPHERY. IT APPEARS THEY TRY TO BRING A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT DURING THE LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY PERIOD...BUT ITS WEAK AT THIS POINT. CONSIDERING THE SIMILARITY THIS PATTERN HAS TO THE PATTERN SEEN YESTERDAY AND TODAY...WOULD ANTICIPATE THE FRONT TO STRENGTHEN AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE EVENT. OTHERWISE...EXPECT CONTINUED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN WITH NEAR NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES. 24 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE A GUSTY COLD FRONT DRAPED OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NM WILL CONTINUE PUSHING TO THE W AND S TODAY...REACHING THE AZ/NM BORDER BY THIS EVENING. GUSTY EAST WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH GAPS OF CENTRAL MTS TILL LATE THIS EVENING...WITH PERIODIC GUSTS TO 30KTS. CONFIDENCE LOW ON NEED FOR AWW FOR HIGH WINDS AT KABQ AS PRESSURE GRADIENT NOT ANTICIPATED TO BE STRONG ENOUGH. AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS ACROSS NE NM WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE THIS AFTERNOON...POTENTIALLY HINDER TSTM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SANGRES. DELAY IN BUILDING OF CU OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL HIGH TERRAIN WILL DELAY TIMING SHOWERS AND TSTMS THIS AFTN AND EVE...WITH HIGH RES MODELS PAINTING KGUP AS MOST LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED. STORMS WILL MOVE SLOWLY TO THE NW AND COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAINS AND BRIEF MVFR CEILINGS/VSBYS. SHOWERS WILL PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...THOUGH GENERALLY DISSIPATING AFTER 03Z WEDNESDAY. 23 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
