The radar
The Pueblo radar (KPUX), 46 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:24 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 00:00Z, 3.4 hours before the alert went out and 131 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.

GIMMESTADWhat 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 Denver/Boulder, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 29, 2:57 PM MDT, 6 hours 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 2:57 PM MDT, 6 hours 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 257 PM MDT Sun Jul 29 2018 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 255 PM MDT Sun Jul 29 2018 Speed max in the northwesterly flow aloft is helping to produce the severe strength and tornado-producing storms currently in southeastern Wyoming. These storms are moving south-southeast to enter our state soon, into the area of Enhanced Risk. Storms further south over the central mountains and Palmer Divide are expected to gain strength soon, though the strongest storms will be further north. The northern storms are expected to continue strong into Weld, Morgan and Logan counties at least into later this afternoon. Forecasted updraft helicities remain high run to run on the HRRR pushing into the northern plains. Will continue to push the tornado threat as well as the very large damaging hail and very strong damaging wind gusts messaging over that area. Cap still remains pretty strong over the central urban corridor out to Denver, as evidenced by the storms dissipating that move over the area, lower surface temperatures and by the ACARS soundings. Will still forecast for little storms in this area until this evenings frontal push. A corridor of thicker smoke also seen on visible satellite is stretched across the northern half of the state may limit much further heating as well. Plenty of shear and CAPE still available this evening when a cold front will push down. This will bring a second round of storms down the plains which will still have the potential of being severe strength, and when the Denver area and central urban corridor may have a better chance of seeing stronger storms. Stratus, rain showers and possibly some fog in the upslope favored areas are expected to fill in behind by midnight. With the speed max aloft, still keeping a slight chance of seeing some thunder overnight. Cold front is also expected to push the smoke out of the area as well. Forecast soundings show the low level moisture and stratus to hang on into Monday morning. Areas along the foothills and Palmer Divide will likely see this as areas of fog, causing low visibilities which may impact Monday morning rush hour. Some lower elevations may see some fog as well. Some areas of drizzle may occur, but some soundings show rain showers remaining as well. Upper trough will pass southeast over the area and high surface pressure over the Great Plains will bring cooler temperatures to the area Monday. as the speed max is over the central plains, may continue to see some rain showers and isolated thunderstorms over the southern half of the forecast area as well as in the mountains where less stability will be above the inversion. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 255 PM MDT Sun Jul 29 2018 This week's weather will be dominated by the upper level ridge building back across the region. Tuesday looks like a completely dry day, with no storms expected anywhere in the forecast area. A warming trend will begin Tuesday, and then remain in place through the end of the week with high temperatures warming back into the lower to mid 90s across the plains. Some moisture will eventually build under the ridge, so a few afternoon and early evening storms can be expected from Wednesday onward. Most of these will stay over the mountains, but isolated storms will still be possible on the plains. The majority of these storms would produce just light rain and gusty outflow winds. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 255 PM MDT Sun Jul 29 2018 Stratus has broken up over Denver, Boulder, and eastern Adams and Arapahoe counties, but a strong cap remains, visible on ACARS soundings, limiting thunderstorm development. Therefore areas south and north and east will see the better chance for storms in the 21z to 00z time frame. Then as a cold front pushes in with north- northeast winds, another surge of thunderstorms on the leading edge are expected, mainly in the 01z to 04z time frame. Upslope behind the front will result in rain showers, then low clouds and possible drizzle tonight, likely remaining in place through Monday morning with IFR ceilings through 18z. && .BOU WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && SHORT TERM...Kriederman LONG TERM...Barjenbruch AVIATION...Kriederman

This hazardous weather outlook is for northeast and north central Colorado. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight Scattered thunderstorms are expected once again this afternoon and evening. Some storms will likely become severe with hail up to baseball size, wind gusts to 80 mph, and isolated tornadoes. Heavy rain and isolated flooding will also be possible. The best chance for severe storms will be along and east of a line from Cheyenne to just east of Denver International Airport to Limon. Two rounds are likely to occur, one in the mid to late afternoon, then another as a cold front pushes in in the early to mid evening. Conditions behind the front will result in stratus and areas of fog overnight and into Monday morning, with some areas of drizzle possible as well. Areas in the foothills and Palmer Divide may experience poor visibility creating hazardous driving conditions for the morning rush hour. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday It will be cool on Monday with a few showers or drizzle lingering into the morning hours. Drier conditions will build across the area through the afternoon. The rest of the period will see warming temperatures and relatively dry conditions. A few afternoon and evening thunderstorms can be expected over the mountains Wednesday through Saturday, with just a slight chance of storms on the plains. Most of those storms would produce just light rain and gusty outflow winds. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is expected to be needed over the northeast plains and possibly across the Urban Corridor this afternoon and evening.
