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.

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 Jun 5, 3:44 PM MDT, 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 3:44 PM MDT, 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
344 PM MDT FRI JUN 5 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 340 PM MDT FRI JUN 5 2015

WILL KEEP DISCUSSION BRIEF DUE TO ONGOING ACTIVE STORM ACTIVITY.
PRIMARY NEAR/SHORT TERM METEOROLOGICAL ISSUES/CONCERNS ONCE AGAIN
INCLUDE MONITORING THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURES.

CWFA CURRENTLY NOTING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS(SOME
STRONG TO SEVERE) OVER EASTERN SECTIONS IN COMBINATION WITH NEAR
TO SLIGHTLY BELOW EARLY JUNE CLIMATOLOGICAL TEMPERATURES.

LATEST QG ANALYSIS...REAL-TIME DATA...COMPUTER SIMULATIONS AND
FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT UNSETTLED CONDITIONS SHOULD
CONTINUE OVER THE FORECAST DISTRICT DURING THE SHORT-TERM...WITH THE
HIGHEST POTENTIAL OF STRONGER STORMS ANTICIPATED FROM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AND THEN AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  WILL
ALLOW THE EXISTING TORNADO WATCH FOR BACA...BENT...CROWLEY...
PASO...HUERFANO...KIOWA...LAS ANIMAS...OTERO...PROWERS AND PUEBLO
COUNTIES TO CONTINUE UNTIL 7 PM MDT THIS EVENING.

ALSO...NEAR SEASONAL EARLY JUNE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE ANTICIPATED
SATURDAY WITH GENERALLY LOW-GRADE GRADIENT WINDS EXPECTED OVER THE
MAJORITY OF THE CWFA DURING THE NEAR/SHORT TERM.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 340 PM MDT FRI JUN 5 2015

.SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...UPPER LOW OVER CALIFORNIA MOVES THE
NORTHEAST AND BECOMES AN OPEN WAVE. MID LEVEL MOISTURE MOVES INTO
THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST. COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTH ACROSS THE
PLAINS EARLY SUNDAY...BRINGING AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A REGION OF 1500 TO 2000
J/KG OVER THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS WITH BULK SHEARS AROUND 50 KNOTS.
SPC CURRENTLY HAS A SLIGHT RISK IN THE DAY 3 OUTLOOK FOR MUCH OF
THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS. SEE NO REASON TO DISAGREE WITH THE DAY 3
OUTLOOK.  SUBTLE FEATURES SUCH AS THE AMOUNT OF SURFACE HEATING
WILL DETERMINE THE LOCATION AND MAGNITUDE OF CONVECTION. MODESTLY
DRIER AIR WILL START MOVING INTO THE MOUNTAINS WITH A DECREASE IN
THE AMOUNT OF CONVECTION.

.MONDAY...MODELS DIFFER ON THE SPEED OF THE TROUGH. EC IS FASTER
MOVING THE TROUGH TO THE EAST WHILE THE GFS AND THE ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS ARE SLOWER. SUSPECT THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE
FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION OVER THE REGION. WITH LIGHTER WINDS
ALOFT...THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION WILL BE LESS.

.TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...SHORTWAVE RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE REGION
FOR A WARMING AND DRYING TREND. THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH
MOISTURE FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION. CURRENT GRIDS HAVE ISOLATED TO
LOWER SCATTERER POPS FOR THESE TWO DAYS...WITH THE BEST CHANCES
FOR STORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

.THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...ANOTHER TROUGH MOVES INTO CALIFORNIA MID
WEEK...THEN IS FORECAST TO MOVE EASTWARD AFFECTING OUR WEATHER
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. STILL DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING AND
LOCATION...BUT THE MODELS SUGGEST UPSLOPE WILL DEVELOP WITH A
RETURN OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO THE EASTERN PLAINS. CURRENT
MODELS SUGGEST THE BEST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL MOSTLY STAY TO THE
NORTH OF THE CWA...BUT THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR
SOME STORMS. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS IN THE CWA. --PGW--

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 340 PM MDT FRI JUN 5 2015

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO
THIS EVENING AND THEN AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON OVER THE AREA TAF
SITES WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY
WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.

.PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
