The radar

The Pueblo radar (KPUX), 60 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:45 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 161 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 21, 3:11 PM MDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO
311 PM MDT TUE JUL 21 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 238 PM MDT TUE JUL 21 2015

CURRENTLY...SOMEWHAT FLAT UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN U.S
TODAY...WHILE AN UPPER SHORTWAVE WAS CROSSING WY. THE DAY STARTED
OFF MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR MOST AREAS AND MT CONVECTION WAS SLOW TO
INITIATE. A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARING...AND FORTUITOUS TIMING OF THE
UPPER SHORTWAVE...HAS NOW KICKED SHOWERS AND STORMS OFF OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN AND ADJACENT PLAINS. HI RES MODELS HAVE HAD A VERY
DIFFICULT TIME TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON ACTUAL ONGOING WX...SO THE
SHORT TERM FORECAST HAS BEEN A LITTLE CHALLENGING. TEMPS HAVE WARMED
INTO THE 70S AND 80S FOR MOST LOCATIONS.

TONIGHT...BANDS OF CONVECTION...LIKELY TIED TO THE UPPER SHORTWAVE
TO THE NORTH...WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVE UNTIL
THE 04Z-06Z TIME FRAME. STORMS HAVE BEEN MOVING...SO NO WORD OF ANY
FLOODING ISSUES SO FAR AND STORMS HAVE BEEN AVOIDING AREA BURN
SCARS...SO FAR. SPC HAS PAINTED MUCH OF THE E PLAINS IN THE MARGINAL
AREA....SO THERE IS STILL THE POSSIBILITY OF A STRONG TO SEVERE
STORM ACROSS THE PLAINS THIS EVE PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL
AROUND 1 INCH. THE UPPER WAVE WILL CONTINUE EAST TONIGHT...AND
CONVECTION IS FORECAST TO DIMINISH LATE FROM WEST TO EAST AND TAPER
OFF OVERNIGHT.

TOMORROW...MODELS INDICATE THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL START TO
STRENGTHEN AND BUILD INTO COLORADO...SHUNTING AVAILABLE MOISTURE
EITHER FAR NORTH...OR WELL SOUTH. THERE WILL STILL BE THE ISOLATED
SHOT AT MT CONVECTION STARTING MIDDAY...BUT FOR THE MOST PART THIS
LOOKS LIKE THE START TO A WARM AND ESSENTIALLY DRY PERIOD INTO THE
WEEKEND. LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS IN THE 80S TO LOWER 90S FOR THE E
PLAINS...AND 80S FOR THE HIGH VALLEYS. MOORE

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 238 PM MDT TUE JUL 21 2015

MODEST SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION DURING
THIS FORECAST TIME PERIOD. GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT AREAS ALONG AND
WEST OF THE CONTDVD WILL LIKELY SEE LESS STORMS OVERALL AS DRIER AIR
IS FORECAST TO IMPINGE OVER THIS REGION DURING MOST OF THE
PERIOD...SO THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS WILL LIKELY BE ALONG THE
MOUNTAINS/PLAINS INTERFACE...IE...THE PIKES PEAK REGION...WETS AND
SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS. WITH NO SIGNIFICANT SURGE OF MOISTURE
NOTED IN THE GUIDANCE AND ONLY MODEST WEAK BOUNDARIES MOVING
ACROSS THE PLAINS...THE POPS OVER THE MTNS/PLAINS INTERFACE WILL
BE IN THE ISOLD TO LOW SCATTERED CATEGORY...WITH MAINLY ISOLD POPS
OVER THE PLAINS. THE OVERALL BEST CHANCE OF PRECIP WILL BE OVER
THE WEEKEND.

MAX TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE L/M90S ACROSS
MOST OF THE PLAINS...WITH 70S AND 80S OVER THE VALLEYS. \/HODANISH

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 238 PM MDT TUE JUL 21 2015

PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE TO CONTINUE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION OVER
AND NEAR THE HIGHER TERRAIN THIS EVE. STORMS THAT DEVELOP MAY
PRODUCE PERIODS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS
AT TERMINALS. COULD ALSO SEE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ALONG THE I25
CORRIDOR AND PORTIONS OF THE E PLAINS THROUGH THIS EVENING. LARGE
HAIL TO AROUND AN INCH IN DIAMETER AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS TO AROUND
60 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR KCOS SOUTH TO KTAD...AND EAST TO
KLHX....THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 04Z. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH
FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
ALL AREAS FOR WED.
