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.

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 344 PM MDT MON AUG 17 2015

...SEVERE STORM THREAT THIS EVENING THEN A COOL FRONT TUESDAY...

THE SEVERE STORM THREAT WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THIS EVENING.
ALL THE ELEMENTS ARE THERE.  A STRONG SPEED MAX FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR WILL PASS THROUGH NORTHERN COLORADO THIS EVENING...INCREASING
WIND SHEAR OVER THE REGION AND HELPING TO TRIGGER CONVECTION.  NAM12
SOUNDINGS PRIOR TO CONVECTIVE INITIATION OVER EL PASO COUNTY ARE
PROGGED AT CLOSE TO 2500 J/KG.  SPC MUCAPES ARE INDICATED AT 3000
J/KG IN IN THE SAME AREA...WITH 2000-3000 J/KG OVER THE REST OF
SOUTHEAST COLORADO.  INSTABILITY IS HIGH WITH LIS ACROSS THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS GENERALLY -4 TO -6.  SO...ALL THE ELEMENTS ARE
THERE...MOISTURE...LIFT...INSTABILITY...AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR
SEVERE STORMS...SHEAR.  THE SHEAR IS BEST OVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN
PARTS OF THE PLAINS SO THESE AREAS WILL LIKELY SEE THE GREATEST
THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING.  THIS WOULD INCLUDE EL
PASO...KIOWA...BENT...PROWERS AND BACA COUNTIES...IN PARTICULAR.
PRIMARY STORM THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING HAIL AND WINDS...FLASH
FLOODING AND LIGHTNING.  HOWEVER...ENOUGH SHEAR WILL BE PRESENT
FOR STORM ROTATION THIS EVENING...AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO OR 2. THE
THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING WILL BE GREATEST AS INITIALLY DISCRETE
CELLS MERGE INTO A LINE OR CLUSTER AND PROPAGATE EASTWARD ACROSS THE
PLAINS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.  SO...THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING
THIS EVENING WILL TEND TO BE GREATEST OVER THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS
EAST OF THE I-25 CORRIDOR.  FARTHER WEST...CELLS MAY MOVE ALONG
QUICK ENOUGH AS TO NOT CAUSE AS MUCH CONCERN.  MOST CONVECTION
SHOULD BE OVER BY ABOUT MIDNIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME ACTIVITY NEAR THE
KANSAS BORDER COULD LINGER ON PAST MIDNIGHT.

TUESDAY...MODELS ARE ALL IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON DROPPING A COOL
FRONT SOUTH THROUGH THE PLAINS DURING THE DAY.  THE FRONTAL PUSH
SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN ABOUT 10 DEGREES OVER THE EAST FROM
TODAY'S READINGS...WITH LITTLE IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES ELSEWHERE.
THE AIRMASS LOOKS PRETTY STABLE BEHIND THE FRONT SO NOT MUCH IF
ANY PRECIPITATION EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT THROUGH THE DAY.
HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW IMPINGING ON THE TERRAIN MAY
TRIGGER A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS ALONG THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS BY
LATE IN THE DAY.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 344 PM MDT MON AUG 17 2015

WILL KEEP DISCUSSION RELATIVELY BRIEF DUE TO ACTIVE METEOROLOGICAL
CONDITIONS CURRENTLY OVER THE FORECAST DISTRICT. A RETURN TO MORE
TRANQUIL CONDITIONS IS ANTICIPATED DURING THE MAJORITY OF THE
LONGER TERM WITH TEMPERATURES AND POPS PRIMARY CONCERNS. EVEN AN
INCH OF SO OR SNOW MAY BE NOTED ON PIKES PEAK BY TUESDAY NIGHT.

UPPER RIDGING CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AT 00Z WEDNESDAY
IS PROJECTED TO TRANSITION TO SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO BY THE WEEKEND
WHILE FORECAST DISTRICT REMAINS IN NORTHWESTERLY TO ZONAL UPPER
FLOW INTO THE WEEKEND.

AT THE SURFACE...NORTH TO NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE SURGE SHOULD BE
OVER EAST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO AT 00Z WEDNESDAY AS 1017 MB SURFACE
HIGH MOVES INTO MONTANA. 1020MB SURFACE HIGH THEN SETTLES OVER
COLORADO FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE VARYING
DEGREES OF EASTERN COLORADO SURFACE LEE-SIDE TROUGHING DEVELOPS
FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO SATURDAY. THEN...NEXT NORTHERLY TO
NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE SURGE IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT PRIMARILY
EASTERN SECTIONS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

AVAILABLE ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO BE ON A DECREASING
TREND OVER THE FORECAST DISTRICT...ESPECIALLY FROM THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN BY NEXT WEEKEND. AT THIS TIME...IT
APPEARS THAT THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION OVER PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST DISTRICT SHOULD BE
NOTED TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN AGAIN BY NEXT WEEKEND.

FINALLY...COOLEST TEMPERATURES DURING THE LONGER TERM ARE
ANTICIPATED FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THEN AGAIN
BY NEXT SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 344 PM MDT MON AUG 17 2015

STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS FLIGHT AREA THIS
EVENING...BRINGING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
REGION...ESPECIALLY THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS. STORMS THIS
EVENING WILL TEND TO BE STRONG TO SEVERE OVER THE EAST. LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING ARE
EXPECTED FROM SOME STORMS. FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL RANGE FROM MVFR TO
IFR TO LIFR UNDER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THESE CONDITIONS WILL
BECOME WIDESPREAD OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS THROUGH THE
EVENING.  IMPROVEMENT FROM THE WEST ALL AREAS BY 06Z...ALTHOUGH SOME
AREAS OF MVFR/IFR STRATUS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE PLAINS OVERNIGHT IN
THE WAKE OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION.

FOR THE KCOS...KPUB AND KALS TAF SITES...MUCH THE SAME SCENARIO.
ALL 3 TAF SITES WILL BE SUBJECT TO THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING...WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY AT KCOS AND
KPUB.  VCTS/VCSH IN TAFS UNTIL 03Z...BEFORE ACTIVITY MOVES TO THE
EAST OF THESE AREAS.
