KTSWhat 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 Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 2, 2:09 PM MDT, 3 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 2:09 PM MDT, 3 hours 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 209 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 206 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 An upper level trof is forecast to remain over NV and southern CA tonight through Mon, keeping west to southwest flow aloft over southern CO. Scattered thunderstorms are expected over the area this evening, and a disturbance in the flow aloft, may keep shower/tstms lingering over the far southeast CO plains into the late night hours. There is again the potential for a couple or a few severe storms thru the evening hours. The mtn and high valley areas may continue to see the potential for a couple more severe storms into the early evening, and then the eastern mtns and plains will have the severe potential through the evening. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main severe storm risks. Mon morning should start out with dry or mainly dry weather, but by late morning or early afternoon, showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop, with isolated to scattered storms being possible across southern CO. The southeast plains will again have the chance for a couple or a few severe storms. SPC's Day 2 outlook shows Marginal to Slight Risk of severe storms across the far southeast CO plains, mainly east of a line from Crowley County, southward through Las Animas County, with general thunderstorms west of that line. High temps on Mon are expected to be in the 80s to lower 90s across the southeast plains, with 70s in the high valleys. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 206 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 Monday night-Tuesday night...Not much change current forecast for this period, with weak southwest flow aloft progged across the Rockies, as the old West Coast cutoff low slowly meanders across the Desert Southwest. This pattern keeps daily chances of mainly diurnal convection in place across south central and southeast Colorado, with the best coverage over and near the higher terrain. Further east across the Plains, better low level moisture will be place, leading to the potential for stronger storms, however, latest models are indicating fairly weak flow aloft and not much in the way of any trigger to help initiate convection. Temperatures look to remain at and above seasonal levels, with lows in the 40s and 50s, save 30s at the peaks, along with highs upper 70s to upper 80s, save 50s and 60s across the higher terrain. Wednesday-Thursday...Some differences in the models as they lift the Desert Southwest system across the Rockies, with the EC remaining the furthest south and weaker with the system, where as the GFS is further north and stronger, lifting a closed low up across north central and northeast New Mexico through the day Thursday. Both solutions bring cooler temperatures to the region, with the GFS bringing better chances of wetting rains to the area both Wednesday and Thursday. For now, I stayed with they blended model solution for pops, bringing good chances of showers and storms to the area Wednesday, and only slight pops across the area for Thursday. Time will tell. Friday-Sunday...Upper level ridging builds across the region Friday and Saturday, ahead of another unseasonably strong upper level system digging across the Intermountain West and Great Basin. This looks to bring warmer and drier weather across the are Friday and Saturday, with the possibility of an unseasonably strong, but dry cold front across eastern Colorado on Sunday. Again, time will tell how this storm system will evolve. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 206 PM MDT Sun Jun 2 2019 Showers and thunderstorms will be possible into the evening at KCOS, KPUB and KALS, with brief heavy rain and gusty outflow winds being the main threats. Late tonight, some forecast models are showing the potential for another round of showers and maybe a few thunderstorms, but other models are not showing this possibility. There will also be the chance for some low clouds late tonight in the KPUB and KCOS vicinities, but there's too much uncertainty at this point to include in the forecast. Another round of showers and storms will be possible Mon afternoon. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...28 LONG TERM...MW AVIATION...28

The main threats with thunderstorms occuring west of Interstate 25 today will be cloud to ground lightning, hail up to the size of pennies, wind gusts up to 50 mph, and brief periods of moderate rainfall. Warm temperatures has lead to increased snow melt across the high country, and the water in creeks, streams and rivers, in and near the high country, will run high and fast the next few days. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday Strong to severe storms, capable of producing wind gusts around 60 mph, and hail around one inch in diameter or larger, will be possible across the far eastern plains on Monday. Also, there will be chances of mainly afternoon and evening thunderstorms, each day through Saturday. The primary storm threats will be cloud to ground lightning, locally heavy rain, small hail and wind gusts to around 45 mph. Storms that develop over the newer burn scars, especially the Junkins, Hayden Pass and Spring burn areas could cause localized flash flooding. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible through this evening across all of southeast and south central Colorado. 28/28
