The radar

The Pueblo radar (KPUX), 99 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:42 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, 10.7 hours before the alert went out and 275 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.

Skew-T log-p

Temperature in red, dew point in green, the mixed-layer parcel dashed.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 15, 3:52 PM MDT, 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 3:52 PM MDT, 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
352 PM MDT TUE JUL 15 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 351 PM MDT TUE JUL 15 2014

NOT MANY ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED TO PREVIOUS THINKING WITH FORECAST
DISTRICT EXPECTED TO REMAIN ACTIVE AT TIMES INTO WEDNESDAY AS
ABUNDANT ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE INTERACTS WITH INCREASING AMOUNTS OF
UPPER LEVEL ENERGY...ESPECIALLY BY LATER WEDNESDAY.

THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALSO
EXISTS...ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA BOTH THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY BY LATER WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY
NIGHT DUE TO FAVORABLE SHEAR AND CAPE VALUES.

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE LAST FRIDAY...STORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING...WILL BE POSSIBLE
OVER AREA BURN SCARS AND LOCATIONS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION DURING THE PAST FOUR DAYS(SINCE LAST FRIDAY0. WILL
CONTINUE WITH EXISTING FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR EL PASO AND TELLER
COUNTIES THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

ALSO...GENERALLY BELOW SEASONAL MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE AGAIN
ANTICIPATED OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST DISTRICT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 351 PM MDT TUE JUL 15 2014

...STILL PRETTY ACTIVE THROUGH THURSDAY BUT THEN DRIER AND WARMER...

MODELS STILL SHOW DECENT THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THURSDAY...MAINLY
ALONG AND NEAR THE MOUNTAINS WEST OF I-25...WITH NOT SO MUCH THREAT
OVER THE PLAINS EAST OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR.  ON THIS DAY...THE AREA
IS STILL UNDER WEAK CYCLONIC FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF WEDNESDAY'S
STRONG SHORTWAVE.  MONSOON MOISTURE HASN'T YET FLUSHED OUT OF THE
AREA AND LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW CONTINUES.  SO...THREATS OF HEAVY
RAIN...LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS DAY.

FINALLY...ON FRIDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN OVER THE AREA AND
BEGINS TO WARM AND DRY THE AIR MASS OVER COLORADO SIGNIFICANTLY.
STARTING THIS DAY AND THEN CONTINUING THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK...THIS WILL BRING A RETURN TO HOT WEATHER AND MORE ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.  MONSOON MOISTURE WILL STILL BE AROUND IN THE
MID AND UPPER LEVELS.  BUT...BECAUSE OF THE HOTTER AND DRIER
CONDITIONS IN THE LOWER LEVELS...STORM THREATS WILL LEAN MORE TOWARD
HIGH WINDS AND LIGHTNING.  THERE WILL STILL BE SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY
RAIN...HOWEVER.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE HOT THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH
90S TO AROUND 100 DEGREES OVER THE PLAINS. LW

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 351 PM MDT TUE JUL 15 2014

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED FROM THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT AND THEN AGAIN BY LATER WEDNESDAY IN AND NEAR
THE TAF SITES WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL POSSIBLE.  THESE
STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AT
TIMES.

HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...CLOUD TO

MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST
STORMS...INCLUDING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES. ALL STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL BE
HIGHEST FOR THOSE AREAS THAT HAVE RECEIVED RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL.

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS AND ESPECIALLY
ALONG AND NEAR THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGHER TERRAIN. STORMS WILL
