What was reported inside it

TimeReportWhereRemark
Jul 12, 5:15 PM MDTFLOOD7 W Canon City, COMINOR FLOODING REPORTED BY STATE PATROL ALONG HIGHWAY 50.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

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 (KDEN), launched 12:00Z, 10.3 hours before the alert went out and 237 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 Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 12, 3:18 PM MDT, 1 hour 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 12, 3:18 PM MDT, 1 hour 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
318 PM MDT SAT JUL 12 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 316 PM MDT SAT JUL 12 2014

.TONIGHT...COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY MOVING SOUTHWARD INTO
SOUTHEAST COLORADO. STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED
ALONG THE FRONT AS IT MOVES TO THE SOUTH. STORMS HAVE BEEN
PRODUCING HEAVY RAINS...AND WILL CONTINUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. THE
THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHWARD WITH THE
FRONT. MODELS SEEM TO MOVE HEAVY RAIN AS FAR SOUTH AS SOUTHERN
PUEBLO COUNTY BEFORE THE MAIN CONVECTION STARTS MOVING TO THE
EAST. HAVE CONCERNS THAT THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS ARE NOT STRONG
ENOUGH WITH THE STORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN SANGRE DE CRSITO
MOUNTAINS. WILL MAINTAIN THE WATCH THROUGH MIDNIGHT. WILL ALSO
HAVE TO MONITOR FOR HEAVY RAIN ALONG AND NEAR THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS LATER THIS EVENING.

.SUNDAY...ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION. SOME
DRIER AIR MAY START MOVING INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH...BUT
BUFKIT SOUNDING STILL SHOW 1 TO 1.25 INCHES OF PRECIPITABLE WATER
ON THE PLAINS. MAIN CHALLENGE WILL BE THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY.
DID NOT MAKE MANY CHANGES TO THE GRIDS. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE
HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER DEVELOPS TONIGHT AND HOW SLOWLY IT WILL
DISSIPATE ON SUNDAY. SUSPECT AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY WILL BE LESS
THAN TODAY...BUT THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH FOR CONVECTION IN THE
AFTERNOON. ONCE AGAIN...HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
CONVECTION. WINDS ALOFT INCREASE SO STORMS MAY MOVE FASTER.
--PGW--

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 316 PM MDT SAT JUL 12 2014

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MODELS INDICATE THAT A VERY ACTIVE
PATTERN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORK
WEEK. THE UPPER PATTERN IS SET UP SUCH THAT THE RIDGE AXIS WILL BE
TO THE WEST OVER THE GREAT BASIN...AND A LARGE UPPER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL BE POISED OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS WILL KEEP
COLORADO UNDER A BRISK NW FLOW ALOFT...WHILE SFC HIGH PRES TO THE E
AND NE OF THE STATE WILL KEEP LLVL UPSLOPE FLOW IN PLACE. LOOK FOR
WIDESPREAD PCPN CHANCES ACROSS THE E PLAINS AND MTS EACH DAY...WITH
BELOW NORMAL TEMPS FORECAST.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A WARMING AND DRYING TREND IS EXPECTED
AS THE RIDGE TO THE SW FLATTENS...AND A MORE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
DEVELOPS. CONVECTION IS FORECAST TO BECOME MORE DIURNAL AND TIED TO
THE HIGHER TERRAIN. MOORE

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 316 PM MDT SAT JUL 12 2014

MOIST AIRMASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY.
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END AT KALS BY MID EVENING...AND BY LATE
EVENING AT KCOS AND KPUB. THERE IS THE THREAT FOR REDUCED
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY DUE TO HEAVY RAIN. ANTICIPATE
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING BY MID AFTERNOON SUNDAY AT THE TAF
SITES...AND STORMS COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. --PGW--

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS...THEN
SPREAD EASTWARD TO THE INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR BY MID AFTERNOON.
IN THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING...THE STORMS WILL SPREAD TO
THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS. THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL HEAVY
RAIN...ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND INTERSTATE 25
CORRIDOR. THE BURN SCARS ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO FLASH
FLOODING. THE RAINFALL COULD BE SUFFICIENTLY HEAVY THAT FLASH
FLOODING AWAY FROM THE BURN SCARS IS ALSO A CONCERN.

IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY RAIN... CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING IS ALSO
A THREAT FROM ANY STORMS. A STORM OR TWO MAY BE BRIEFLY STRONG
ENOUGH TO PRODUCE 1 INCH HAIL OF 60 MPH WIND GUSTS.

THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS TO LINGER ACROSS
THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND INTERSTATE 25 CORRIDOR WELL INTO
SATURDAY EVENING DUE TO PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
AREA SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. WITH AMPLE AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND EXPECTED SLOW
MOVEMENT OF STORMS...ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE. OTHER THREATS FROM STORMS
THAT DEVELOP INCLUDE LIGHTNING...HAIL AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS.

A SLOW WARMING AND DRYING TREND IS EXPECTED FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER AND NEAR THE HIGHER
TERRAIN.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MEET REPORTING CRITERIA FOR SPOTTERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
