What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Jun 28, 8:28 PM MDT, 3 hours 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 8:28 PM MDT, 3 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO
828 PM MDT Wed Jun 28 2023

.UPDATE...
Issued at 824 PM MDT Wed Jun 28 2023

The forecast is performing well with only minor updates this
evening.

The 00Z synoptic dataset shows the trough over the western states
and ridge over the southern and southeastern states, with brisk
southwesterly flow aloft over Colorado. Upstream soundings had
between 0.33 and 0.97 inches of precipitable water, in spite of
all being pretty well mixed to almost 500 mb. GOES water vapor
imagery shows good moisture in the trough and scattered convection
ahead.

Most of that activity stayed north of us but a few severe storms
are moving over our northeast corner this evening. In Wyoming, the
storms produced confirmed tornadoes and very large hail. On our
side of the border, similar hazards are likely but have not been
confirmed.

CAMs suggest more convection on the outflow from these storms
later this evening, to affect mainly Morgan and Washington
counties by 04Z then moving northeast early tonight. Storms are
currently weakening and the air in that area will be pretty well
worked over by late evening, so we don't consider scattered strong
storms later very likely, though some convection over that
outflow is reasonable.

Our partners and CDPHE issued an Ozone Action Day Alert for the
Front Range Urban Corridor valid tomorrow from 4 PM to 12 AM MDT,
as heat and light winds will likely allow ozone concentrations to
reach unhealthy levels. Refer to AQABOU for more information.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 310 PM MDT Wed Jun 28 2023

Key Messages:

1. Chance for a few storms early eve/tonight along near north border
and northeast corner, capable of large hail and damaging winds

2. Higher chances for thunderstorms Thurs. with a severe threat for
large hail and damaging winds

Temperatures are slowly warming into the low 80s this afternoon
across the plains and urban corridor. Main concern and forecast
challenge for the remainder of the afternoon/evening will be the
potential for isolated showers and thunderstorms. SPC mesoscale
analysis shows CIN across the the urban corridor. This will act as a
barrier for convective development, lowering storm chances. Further
east over the plains it is a similar story on whether it will heat
enough to weaken the cap. There is less CIN out there and satellite
shows Cu development in some areas. CAMs continue to settle on the
capping scenario with solutions resolving little to no convection
which is the more likely case. Although a few solutions seem to grab
onto potential for a storm or two across the north border and
northeast corner either early evening or late evening with the
front. Regardless, can't rule out the chance of a storm developing
in the more favored north/northeast corner from an outflow boundary
feature coming from storms to the north. Given the favorable
environment, a strong to severe storm will be favored with large
hail and damaging winds possible. The main cold front moves
southward between 02Z-07Z which may also result in chances for a few
showers or storms to clip the north border in that very early Thurs
timeframe. Bottom line, the environment is favorable for storms, but
it needs something to make it go like a boundary or convergence.

The region remains in a cooler, moist post-frontal airmass Thursday
with weak synoptic ascent. Early Thursday morning, the increase in
low-level moisture behind the front will develop low level stratus.
Model soundings hang onto the low-level moisture keeping stratus
around through late morning, lifting slightly and becoming more
broken by the afternoon. Despite the cloud cover, models are
consistent with indicating a favorable convective environment
tomorrow afternoon with the moist and unstable airmass. MLCAPE
values build into the 1500-2500 J/kg range with 0-6 km bulk shear 40-
55 kts. Soundings show a strong signal for large hail with MUCAPE
2000J/kg+ and a sufficient area of CAPE, dry mid-level air, and
decent area of CAPE along the lifted parcel profile. Storms likely
initiate over the Palmer Divide mid-afternoon to start with storms
developing across the I-25 corridor and then eastward through late
afternoon/early evening. Hail and wind will be the main threats.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 310 PM MDT Wed Jun 28 2023

Thunderstorms, some severe, will likely become more numerous and
spread east across the plains through Thursday evening as the cap
weakens further. We think the severe storm threat with large hail,
damaging winds, and a couple tornadoes will last til at least mid
evening given the amount of instability (MLCAPE near 2000 J/kg)
and shear (bulk shear 55-60 kts). However,some of the latest data
suggests tornado threat could be limited by a weaker easterly low
level flow, while other models still have significant 0-1 SRH of
100-150 m2/s2. Would expect locally heavy rain and at least a low
flash flood threat give storm intensity, deeper moisture profile,
and dewpoints in the lower 60s over the eastern plains.
Fortunately, storms should be moving quickly.

Friday will be a cooler and rather wet day. There may be a few
showers around already in the morning as an upper level trough and
deeper moisture arrives from the west. With continued forcing,
we'll see showers and storms become more widespread and probably a
couple hours earlier than normal given the early arrival of the
upper level trough. At this point, the trough axis is still
expected to hold off late enough in the day to bring more
widespread showers and storms. Bulk shear decreases as the upper
level trough arrives, but there's still enough shear and
instability over the eastern plains for a severe storm threat.
That said, main focus will likely shift toward storms with locally
heavy rain and a flash flood threat. More on that in the
Hydrology section below. High temperatures will likely only reach
the lower to mid 70s on the plains, with 60s in most mountain and
foothill locales.

Saturday will see drier conditions with weak subsidence and
downslope flow developing. Still can't rule out an isolated storm
or two, but they would be high based and weaker. Sunday may see a
little moisture build under the flat ridge, but overall storm
intensity should remain weaker with limited CAPE. Temperatures
will show a warming this weekend with highs returning to near
normal (upper 80s for the plains).

Ensembles are still pointing toward somewhat more active weather
and higher afternoon and evening storm coverage toward the 4th.
While it's hard to pin down any specifics, ensembles suggest a
more zonal flow and possibly a weak backdoor cold front or two
that could lead to more low level moisture and instability. Given
that, there is reasonable confidence we should stay at or below
normal temperatures for the middle portion of next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 824 PM MDT Wed Jun 28 2023

Expect VFR conditions through this evening and much of tonight,
then MVFR conditions are likely before sunrise with low clouds
behind a weak front. Patchy fog is possible in the early morning
as well, but lower confidence and not yet included in the TAF.
Moderate easterly to northeasterly winds likely to persist through
the evening and much of tonight, outflow from storms, then winds
to come around southeasterly in the morning. Scattered showers and
storms in the vicinity tomorrow afternoon and evening.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 310 PM MDT Wed Jun 28 2023

Isolated thunderstorms mainly on the plains this evening could
produce very localized heavy rain. The threat of burn area
flooding is very low because the strong storms are expected to be
east of the burn areas.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to form Thursday
afternoon and evening. In addition to hail and strong winds, very
heavy rainfall will be possible with the storms, which could
produce localized flooding. With a somewhat strong flow aloft most
storms should be moving quickly.

For Friday, the upper level trough moves over Colorado and brings
weaker winds aloft. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are
expected again for Friday, and storm movement will be slower.
Precipitable water values increase to around 1" across the I-25
Corridor and 1.25" over the eastern plains. Meanwhile, warm cloud
depth increase to around 5,000 feet across the Front Range. Thus,
storms will be more efficient rain producers and be capable of
producing 1-2" of rain in less than 45 minutes. The threat of
flash flooding will increase Friday (not just in the recent burn
areas) and a Flash Flood Watch may be eventually be needed over
the Foothills and Plains.

Saturday into early next week will trend to higher based storms
with limited if any threat of flash flooding in the susceptible
areas.
