The radar

The Pueblo radar (KPUX), 206 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:03 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

Amarillo Airport, TX (KAMA), launched 12:00Z, 9.1 hours before the alert went out and 223 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 3, 2:58 PM MDT, 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
258 PM MDT FRI JUL 3 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 251 PM MDT FRI JUL 3 2015

...A FEW SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS...

NORTHWEST FLOW...COUPLED WITH SOUTHEAST FLOW AT THE SURFACE ACROSS
THE PLAINS...ARE CREATING 40-50 KNOTS OF SHEAR...ENOUGH TO GET
STORMS ROTATING...WITH A FEW SUPERCELLS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING.  SPC
LATEST MESOANALYSIS INDICATING MUCAPES RUNNING UPWARDS OF 2000 J/KG
ACROSS THE PLAINS...1000 OVER PARTS OF THE MOUNTAINS...SO PLENTY OF
CAPE OUT THERE.  PRIMARY SEVERE THREATS ACROSS THE PLAINS INCLUDE
LARGE HAIL UP TO 1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH OR
MORE. WITH 40-50 KNOTS OF SHEAR AND POSSIBLE SUPERCELLS...AN
ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. HEAVY RAIN...LOCAL FLOODING
AND LIGHTNING ARE OTHER CONCERNS.

PRIMARY THREATS FARTHER WEST OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS WILL
INCLUDE LIGHTNING...HEAVY RAIN...LOCAL FLOODING...HAIL UP TO A HALF
INCH IN DIAMETER AND WIND GUST TO AROUND 40 MPH.

WE WILL DO IT AGAIN FOR TOMORROW.  MORE HEATING...MORE CAPE AND
SIMILAR SHEAR WILL LIKELY OUTPUT SIMILAR RESULTS.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 251 PM MDT FRI JUL 3 2015

...INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY...

UPPER RIDGE GRADUALLY FLATTENS ON SUNDAY AS DISTURBANCE OVER AZ
ROUNDS THROUGH THE UPPER RIDGE AT THE SAME TIME THAT UPPER TROF IN
CANADA MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER. SFC LEE TROFFING WILL HELP
DECREASE SFC DEW POINTS ACROSS THE PLAINS...BUT MOISTURE WILL BE ON
THE INCREASE ALOFT AS MONSOON PLUME OVER THE GREAT BASIN SHIFTS
NORTHEASTWARD.  WITH FORCING FROM THE DISTURBANCE MOVING
THROUGH...SUSPECT THAT THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS WILL BE MORE
WIDESPREAD THIS DAY.  WITH FLOW BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY ACROSS THE
PLAINS...THIS WILL DECREASE THE DEEP LAYER SHEARS TO AROUND 25 KTS
OR LESS FOR MOST AREAS.  DEW POINTS DROP OFF INTO THE 40S TO LOWER
50S...WHICH SHOULD ALSO LIMIT CAPES...SO STORM STRENGTH SHOULD BE A
LITTLE WEAKER THIS DAY.  BUT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO
A THREAT WHICH COULD POSE PROBLEMS FOR BURN SCARS...URBAN
AREAS...AND THOSE WITH SATURATED SOILS.

COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE PLAINS SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A REINFORCING
SURGE EXPECTED MONDAY MORNING.  STILL LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY THIS
DAY...WITH NAM12 A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THE FRONT...HENCE WETTER
ACROSS SOUTHEAST CO ON MONDAY...WHILE GFS BRINGS IN THE COLD FRONT A
LITTLE QUICKER STRONGER AND THUS KEEPS THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS MORE
CAPPED FOR MONDAY.  WITH STRONG UPSLOPE FLOW EXPECTED MONDAY
AFTERNOON...SHOULD BE ANOTHER THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHEAST MOUNTAINS...AS EASTERLY FLOW
BENEATH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SHOULD NET DEEP LAYER SHEARS AROUND 40
KTS OR SO.  HAVE LEANED FORECAST TOWARDS THE GFS FOR NOW...BUT IF
NAM12 IS CORRECT...THEN PARTS OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR AND ADJACENT
PLAINS COULD GET IN ON THE ACTION.

UPPER LOW APPROACHING THE WEST COAST TUES AND WEDNESDAY WILL SHIFT
THE SOUTHERLY FETCH FROM THE MONSOON OVER CO THROUGH THESE DAYS.
SOUTHERLY FLOW ON TUESDAY MAINTAIN SOME 50 DEW POINTS ALONG THE I-25
CORRIDOR/LOWER EASTERN SLOPES OF THE SE MTS. DEEP LAYERS SHEARS WILL
BE DECREASING AGAIN...BUT PROBABLY STILL STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.  LESS SHEAR AND LOWER DEW
POINTS FOR WEDNESDAY SHOULD CUT BACK THUNDERSTORM STRENGTH EVEN
FURTHER FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT THREAT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL CONTINUE THESE DAYS.

DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW SPREADS IN BY LATE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND...SO
SHOULD SEE A DRYING AND WARMING TREND RETURN. -KT

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 251 PM MDT FRI JUL 3 2015

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO FORM NEAR THE TAF
SITES THIS AFTERNOON...WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE. PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH TSTMS WILL BE SMALL HAIL UP TO HALF
AN INCH IN DIAMETER AND GUSTY WINDS UP TO 35 MPH. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
LINGER ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING UNTIL AROUND 06Z
WHEN RADIATIVE PROCESSES BECOME DOMINANT...DIMINISHING
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER ROUND OF DIURNALLY
DRIVEN MTN THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TOMORROW WITH VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED THROUGH 00Z TOMORROW. AL/LW
