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
Albuquerq/Krtlnd, NM (KABQ), launched 12:00Z, 10.5 hours before the alert went out and 396 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, Jun 17, 3:44 PM MDT, 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 344 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 342 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2019 Latest trends in the streamflows across the southwest mountains and the San Luis Valley indicate that water is still running high, so the Flood Watch is being extended until Thursday. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue spreading from the mountains to the adjacent valleys and plains through the evening hours. There remains the potential for some storms to reach severe criteria this evening across the plains as CAPE values should be in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. However, bulk shear values are not projected to be very high, generally less than 30 kts. With these values, the main threats will be wind gusts of 60 mph and hail up to golf ball size. The SPC does have a marginal risk for the areas east of the Sangre de Cristos with a slight risk for the northeast corner of El Paso County and another area covering eastern Las Animas, western Baca, and southern Bent Counties. Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible, bringing the potential for flash flooding, especially over the Spring, Hayden Pass, and Junkins Burn Scars. Storms are expected to move out of the area overnight, and lows tonight will be in the mid 50s across the plains, and mid to upper 40s in the San Luis and Upper Arkansas Valleys. Another wave of energy moves through the area on Tuesday, bringing another round of showers and thunderstorms for the late morning and afternoon. Storms should initiate over the mountains again, then spread eastward across the adjacent valleys and plains. The SPC has a marginal risk of severe storms from the I-25 corridor eastward with a slight risk for the far southeastern portion of Colorado. CAPE values are forecast to be around 1000-1500 J/kg over the far eastern plains, and bulk shear values are expected to be a bit higher (around 40 kts) over the far southeastern corner of Colorado, which could support the development of an isolated supercell. Once again, the main threats are expected to be hail of around an inch in diameter and wind gusts of 60 mph or greater. Afternoon highs are expected to reach the low to mid 80s across the plains, and upper 60s to mid 70s in the high valleys. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 342 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2019 Active meteorological conditions are expected to continue over eastern locations of the CWA(including the potential for strong to potentially severe thunderstorms) into Tuesday night as latest PV analysis, computer simulations and forecast model soundings support next upper disturbance impacting the area. Warmer and drier conditions are still expected over southern Colorado from Wednesday into Friday as zonal to southwesterly upper flow develops over the region. Then, cooler and increasingly unsettled meteorological conditions are anticipated from later into the weekend and into early next week as several relatively weak northerly surface surges interact with passing upper disturbances. Finally, warmest temperatures are projected from Wednesday into Friday, while coolest conditions should be noted during the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 342 PM MDT Mon Jun 17 2019 Showers and thunderstorms are expected to remain in the vicinity of all three TAF sites through the evening, with KPUB and KCOS having a better chance of a seeing a storm directly over the site. Another round of showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop late morning through the afternoon on Tuesday. VFR conditions are expected throughout the forecast period, unless a thunderstorm moves over one of the sites. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

A few severe storms will be possible along and east of Interstate 25, with hail up to golfball size and wind gusts over 60 mph. Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible today, especially across the Palmer Divide and the lower eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountains. This will lead to the potential for flash flooding, especially if heavy rain falls across the Spring, Junkins and Hayden Pass burn scars. All storms today will be capable of producing frequent cloud to ground lighting, gusty outflow winds up to 45 mph and small hail. Fast and high flows in creeks, streams and rivers will continue across the area today, with the potential for flooding, especially in the southwest mountains, portions of the San Luis Valley, and along the Upper Arkansas River Valley, generally west of the Pueblo Reservoir. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected across the mountains and plains of southern Colorado on Tuesday. Lightning, small hail, and winds gusting to 45 mph will be the main threats with storms. A storm or two may also be capable of producing hail to around one inch in diameter and wind gusts to 60 mph. Storms may also produce heavy rainfall and flash flooding, with the greatest risk being over burn scars and urban areas. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be possible from Interstate 25 eastward across the plains this afternoon and evening. 29/29
