The Goodland radar (KGLD), 177 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 04:00 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

Dodge City, (KDDC), launched 00:00Z, 4.0 hours before the alert went out and 198 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 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 May 31, 3:50 PM MDT, 6 hours 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 31, 3:50 PM MDT, 6 hours 10 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
350 PM MDT SAT MAY 31 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 338 PM MDT SAT MAY 31 2014

WILL KEEP THIS DISCUSSION BRIEF DUE TO RECENT/ONGOING ACTIVE
METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS.

FORECAST DISTRICT NOTED ISOLATED STRONG TO BRIEFLY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS(IN COMBINATION WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL) THIS
AFTERNOON...PRIMARILY OVER PORTIONS OF EL PASO COUNTY.  AS OF 315 PM
MDT...THESE STORMS ARE DECREASING IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE.

RECENT REAL-TIME DATA...COMPUTER SIMULATIONS AND FORECAST MODEL
SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT DRIER ZONAL TO SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWFA INTO SUNDAY...DECREASING PRECIPITATION
POTENTIAL...ALTHOUGH DRYLINE WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED OVER FAR
EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST DISTRICT DURING THIS TIME-FRAME.

LOCALIZED ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER
SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST DISTRICT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO
SUNDAY EVENING...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO ISSUE A
FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHT AT THIS TIME DUE TO RECENT
PRECIPITATION...ONGOING GREEN-UP AND FUEL STATUS. WFO PUEBLO WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY.

FINALLY ABOVE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH
SUNDAY...WITH MANY LOCATIONS ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR
NEARING OR EXCEEDING THE 90F MARK BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 338 PM MDT SAT MAY 31 2014

...MOSTLY HOT AND DRY EARLY NEXT WEEK...THEN WETTER LATER IN THE WEEK...

STILL SHAPING UP TO BE A MOSTLY HOT AND DRY PERIOD FOR MOST AREAS
EARLY NEXT WEEK THROUGH ABOUT WEDNESDAY. IF FUELS DRY
OUT...WARM...DRY WINDS COULD CAUSE FIRE DANGER CONCERNS.
ALSO...THE DRY LINE COULD IMPACT THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS AT TIMES
WITH SEVERE WEATHER.

THEN...WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MOISTURE WILL TRANSITION BACK INTO THE
AREA FOR WETTER CONDITIONS THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS. LOOKS LIKE A BROAD...BAGGY
UPPER TROUGH WILL SAG SOUTH ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL US
DURING THIS PERIOD...ALLOWING A LARGE AREA OF SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE TO SLIP SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL US PLAINS. THIS...IN
TURN...WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF PUMPING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE UPSLOPE
INTO THE REGION...PROVIDING THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS FOR DAILY
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE PERIOD. BEING WEST OF THE
FRONT RANGES OF THE ROCKIES...THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS...SAN LUIS
VALLEY AND EVEN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL TEND NOT TO FARE AS
WELL IN THIS PATTERN. STILL SOME INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND
STORMS...BUT GENERALLY OVER EASTERN PARTS OF THESE AREAS...AND
GENERALLY MUCH MORE ISOLATED. LW
