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.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 19, 3:05 PM MDT, 2 hours 38 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
305 PM MDT SUN JUL 19 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 303 PM MDT SUN JUL 19 2015

...AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN LIKELY LATER TODAY AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON...

CURRENTLY...IT IS QUITE MOIST AND RATHER UNSTABLE OVER PARTS OF THE
FCST AREA AT 1 PM. AT THIS HOUR...LAMAR HAS A 67 DEWPOINT...AND THIS
LOOKS REASONABLE GIVEN OTHER READINGS IN FAR W KS. TSRA WERE JUST
BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE HIGHER TRRN.

REST OF TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT...

HRRR HAS BEEN INDICATING EAST CENTRAL COLORADO WILL SEE THE BRUNT OF
THE RAINFALL DURING THE NEXT 12H. THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH A 700 MB
TROUGH/SFC BOUNDARY THAT WILL BE OVER THIS REGION BY EARLY THIS
EVENING. THIS 700 MB TROUGH TRIES TO CLOSE OFF....AND THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR CONVERGENT LLVL FLOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE REGION. GIVEN
THIS...HEAVIEST RAIN WILL LIKELY FALL OVER THE KIOWA COUNTY REGION
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING GIVEN THE 2000 CAPE WHICH IS OVER
THE REGION

LOWER ELEVATIONS OF EL PASO COUNTY MAY ALSO SEE SOME AREAS OF HEAVY
RAIN AS 700 MB FLOW WILL GO UPSLOPE LATER THIS EVENING.

GIVEN THE OVERALL INSTABILITY OVER THE REST OF THE PLAINS....OTHER
AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN CANT BE RULED OUT...BUT THE GREATEST THREAT WILL
BE THE EAST CENTRAL CO AREA. WILL HAVE TO WATCH IF AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY PROPAGATES SWD FROM THE CONVECTION AND MOVES INTO FAR SE
COLORADO (BACA/PROWERS).

GIVEN THE CAPE AND MODEST SHEAR...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE OVER THE PLAINS LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND AN MD WAS
RECENTLY ISSUED (128 PM) DISCUSSING THIS POSSIBILITY.

TOMORROW...

GOOD 700 MB UPSLOPE WILL BE IN PLACE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE S MTN
AREAS (WETS/SANGRES). IT MAY BE RATHER STABLE ON MOST OF THE PLAINS
TOMORROW...AND WE MAY NOT SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIP OVER THE
PLAINS PRIOR TO 6 PM. HOWEVER...THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WETS AND
SANGRES MAY SEE HEAVY RAIN DEVELOP BY MID AFTERNOON TOMORROW AND
LAST INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

OTHER MOUNTAINS LOCATIONS MAY ALSO SEE POCKETS OF HEAVY
RAIN...ESPECIALLY ON THE EASTERN SLOPES GIVEN THE UPSLOPE 700 MB
FLOW.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 303 PM MDT SUN JUL 19 2015

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND AN UPPER SHORTWAVE
CROSSING THE N ROCKIES WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND STORMS
IN PLACE THROUGH TUE. PLENTY OF LLVL SUPPORT AS WELL WITH UPSLOPE
FLOW...SO THE BEST TIME FRAME FOR POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN AND HYDRO
ISSUES WILL BE MON EVE ACROSS THE E PLAINS...AND THEN AGAIN TUE LATE
AFTN/EVE ALONG THE E SLOPES AND I25 CORRIDOR. CONVECTION WILL
GRADUALLY MOVE EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT...TAPERING OFF ALONG THE KS/CO
BORDER EARLY WED MORNING.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE STARTS TO REDEVELOP BACK
TO THE WEST ACROSS THE 4 CORNERS REGION BEGINNING WED...AS THE NEXT
UPPER TROUGH STARTS TO DIG SOUTH OVER THE PAC NW. WED STILL LOOKS TO
BE A TRANSITION DAY WHERE CONVECTION CHANCES DROP OFF
DRAMATICALLY...BUT THERE WILL STILL BE AN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
CHANCE FOR PCPN FOR ALL AREAS IN THE AFTN. THU LOOKS TO BE
COMPLETELY DRY FOR THE CWA HOWEVER...AS THE RIDGE STRENGTHENS AND
ANY MOISTURE STAYS SUPPRESSED TO THE SOUTH. BY FRI ISOLATED STORMS
WILL BE FOUND OVER THE MT PEAKS IN THE AFTN...THEN MODELS INDICATE
ISOLATED CONVECTION RIGHT ALONG THE KS/CO BORDER IN THE EVE DUE TO
THE PROXIMITY OF THE DRYLINE. TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH
FRI...WITH THU AND FRI BEING THE WARMEST DAYS WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE
80S FOR THE HIGH VALLEYS...AND UPPER 80S TO MID 90S FOR THE E PLAINS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...LONG RANGE MODELS INDICATE THAT THE UPPER
RIDGE FLATTENS OUT ONCE AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE WEST COAST LOW
GETS ABSORBED AND TRACKS TO THE NE ACROSS ID AND MT. THIS ALLOWS OF
A HINT OF THE SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME TO RETURN...INCREASING PCPN
CHANCES STARTING SAT BUT MORE SO ON SUN. MOORE

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 303 PM MDT SUN JUL 19 2015

TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER ALL THE TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON AND
TOMORROW AFTERNOON...AND THE STORMS COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE WITH
HEAVY RAIN...GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WILL
BE KCOS AND KPUB...WITH A LESSER CHANCE KALS. IT IS POSSIBLE THE
TSRA MAY LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS AT KCOS AND KPUB. OTHERWISE
