The radar
The Pueblo radar (KPUX), 82 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:28 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 (KDEN), launched 12:00Z, 8.4 hours before the alert went out and 182 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 14, 1:25 PM MDT, 1 hour 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 125 PM MDT MON JUL 14 2014 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 125 PM MDT MON JUL 14 2014 UPDATED GRIDS AND ZONES FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM MDT FOR FREMONT...TELLER...EL PASO...BACA...BENT... CROWLEY...CUSTER...HUERFANO...LAS ANIMAS...OTERO...PROWERS AND PUEBLO COUNTIES. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 351 AM MDT MON JUL 14 2014 CURRENT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND UPPER AIR ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO INDICATE WEAK TO MODERATE NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE REGION WITH HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING PERSISTING ACROSS THE DESERT SW AND INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AS AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO DIG ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. ONE EMBEDDED SHORT WAVE TRANSLATING ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND INTO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS SENT A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE SE PLAINS LATE LAST NIGHT...WHICH HELPED TO FIRE STORMS ACROSS THE SE MTS THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. ANOTHER EMBEDDED WAVE LOOKS TO BE TRANSLATING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AT THIS TIME. SOME DRIER AIR WITHIN THE FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES TO WORK INTO NORTHERN COLORADO WITH THE MAIN MONSOONAL MOISTURE PLUME SLOWLY SHIFTING SOUTH AND WEST OF THE STATE AT THIS TIME. NO BIG CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECAST AS LAST NIGHTS FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO STALL NEAR THE COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO BORDER AS THE NEXT BACK DOOR FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSING NORTHERN ROCKIES WAVE MOVES ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THESE BOUNDARIES SHOULD HELP FOCUS CONVECTIVE DEVELOP ACROSS THE PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ALONG WITH DEVELOPING UPSLOPE FLOW...STRONG SUMMER SOLAR HEATING AND CONTINUED AMPLE AVAILABLE MOISTURE...SUPPORTING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER AND NEAR THE HIGHER TERRAIN. A SLIGHT DECREASE IN PRECIP WATER PROGGED ACROSS THE AREA...THOUGH STILL PLENTY OF JUICE IN THE AIR FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO. MAIN CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS DAYS IS INCREASED FLOW ALOFT...WHICH SHOULD KEEP STORMS MOVING. THIS WILL LESSEN THE THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING...THOUGH WILL NEED TO STAY VIGILANT FOR THESE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINERS MOVING OVER AREA BURN SCARS AS WELL AS AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN DECENT AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE INCREASED FLOW ALOFT...HOWEVER...DOES ALLOW FOR INCREASED SHEAR IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND INCREASING CHANCES FOR SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS WHERE DEW PTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S WILL SUPPORT CAPE VALUES IN THE 500-1500 J/KG RANGE. UPSLOPE FLOW DEEPENS OVERNIGHT WITH AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE TO KEEP THE MENTION OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS ALSO SUPPORT STRATUS DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE PLAINS THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA LOOK TO BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN YESTERDAY. .LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 351 AM MDT MON JUL 14 2014 NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES THROUGH MID-WEEK AS DEEP UPPER TROUGH DROPS INTO THE GREAT LAKES. FOR TUE...SURFACE FRONT RETREATS NORTHWARD WITH WINDS BECOMING S-SE ON THE PLAINS BY AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ADVECT NORTHWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS...WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF WEAK TROUGH NEAR THE KS BORDER. EXPECT FAIRLY VIGOROUS CONVECTION TO DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS LATE TUE AFTERNOON...WITH THE THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS FROM THE PALMER DIVIDE SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE KS BORDER AS 0-6KM SHEAR INCREASES. IN FACT...SHEAR WILL LIKELY BE SUFFICIENT FOR SUPERCELLS ON THE PLAINS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE. FARTHER WEST...AIRMASS OVER THE MOUNTAINS DRIES SLIGHTLY...THOUGH IMPACT ON TSRA STRENGTH/COVERAGE WILL BE SMALL...AS TYPICAL DIURNAL CONVECTIVE CYCLE WITH CONTINUE. TUE NIGHT INTO WED...LARGE MCS LIKELY OVER THE HIGH PLAINS...WITH SYSTEM SLIDING SOUTHWARD NEAR/JUST EAST OF THE KS BORDER OVERNIGHT. INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY OVER THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS SCENARIO...AND KEPT AT LEAST ISOLATED POPS OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA AS CONVECTION COULD LINGER FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT. COLD FRONT WILL DROP BACK SOUTH IN THE WAKE OF THE MCS WED MORNING...LEADING TO A RENEWED WESTWARD PUSH OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE DURING THE DAY. WHILE AIR MASS ON THE PLAINS MAY BE INITIALLY TOO COOL/STABLE FOR MUCH CONVECTION WED AFTERNOON...UPSLOPE FLOW OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS PLUS LIFT WITH APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DEVELOP AFTERNOON/EVENING TSRA ONCE AGAIN...WITH STORMS PUSHING EASTWARD OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS AND ALONG THE RATON MESA IN THE EVENING. FARTHER WEST...MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS WILL CONTINUE WITH DIURNAL CONVECTION...THOUGH TSRA COVERAGE AND INTENSITY MAY DECREASE SLIGHTLY AS LOW LEVEL AIR MASS CONTINUE TO DRY OUT. COOLER AIR WILL LINGER OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS THU...WITH ECMWF SUGGESTING ANOTHER ROUND OF FAIRLY WIDESPREAD TSRA...WHILE GFS IS DRIER WITH STORMS LIMITED TO THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS. WILL RUN WITH ISOLATED TO LOW END SCT POPS MOST LOCATIONS THU AFTERNOON/EVENING...AS SUSPECT MID-LEVEL DRYING NOTED ON BOTH MODELS PLUS COOL SURFACE TEMPS MAY LIMIT CONVECTION SOMEWHAT. FOR FRI AND BEYOND...UPPER RIDGE REBUILDS OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S. WITH FAIRLY DRY WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIDGE SPREADING ACROSS CO. WILL STILL BE ENOUGH RESIDUAL MOISTURE FOR SOME AFTERNOON TSRA OVER THE MOUNTAINS...THOUGH BY SUN/MON ACTIVITY WILL BECOME VERY SPARSE. MAX TEMPS WILL WARM BACK TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION... ISSUED AT 1128 AM MDT MON JUL 14 2014 PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE AREA TAF SITES INTO THIS EVENING...WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR GENERALLY BRIEF MVFR AND LOCAL IFR CONDITIONS TO THE KALS...KCOS AND KPUB TAF SITES. UPSLOPE FLOW IS STILL EXPECTED TO DEEPEN ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN EASTERN COLORADO FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING IN THE WAKE OF A NORTHERLY SURGE...WHICH WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING MVFR AND IFR STRATUS CONDITIONS AT TIMES TO SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO...ESPECIALLY AFTER 06Z/TUESDAY. AT THIS TIME...IT STILL APPEARS THAT KCOS WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL OF EXPERIENCING IFR CONDITIONS LATER TONIGHT. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
