The radar
The Pueblo radar (KPUX), 185 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:31 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

kamWhat 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 30, 3:16 PM MDT, 2 hours 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 3:16 PM MDT, 2 hours 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 316 PM MDT Fri Jun 30 2023 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday) Issued at 316 PM MDT Fri Jun 30 2023 Key Messages: 1) Strong to severe storms moving across the southeast plains this evening. 2) Drier weather in the offing for Saturday. Current water vapor imagery is indicating broad upper trough translating across south central Colorado with uvv ahead of the system aiding in convective development across the region at this time. Gusty outflows which fired earlier across northwestern El Paso county dropped dew pts to the mid 30s at KAFF with has since seen some recycled moisture working back across El Paso county, as SPC meso analysis still has MLCAPE 500-1500 across the plains, with enough shear to support supercell development, especially along and south of Highway 50. For tonight...CAMs continue to support storm development across southeast Colorado with storms across southeastern El Paso county and Pueblo County continuing to move east southeast trying to line out with the storms currently across Las Animas county/Raton Mesa lifting east northeast. Large hail to around 2 inches in diameter and damaging wind gusts of 60-70 mph still look to be the main threats, with a low end risk of a tornado, with CAMs continuing to indicate persistent helicity swaths with storms moving across the Raton Mesa. Strong to severe storms continue to move across the far southeast plains through the early evening, with chances of a few showers across the eastern mountains and plains through the late evening as the upper trough continues to move across the southeast Colorado. Skies to slowly clear from west to east through the overnight, with lows around seasonal levels. For Saturday, drier weather remains in the offing with expected subsidence behind the parting trough across eastern Colorado and upper level ridging building in across western Colorado. There looks to be enough moisture to work with strong daytime heating to support isolated showers and storms over and near the eastern mts through the afternoon hours. Temperatures look to be near to slightly below seasonal levels, with highs mainly in the 80s across the plains and in the 60s to low 80s across the higher terrain. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 316 PM MDT Fri Jun 30 2023 Key Messages 1) Chance for some severe convection Sunday 2) Active pattern Fourth of July through Friday with potential for severe weather each day. .Sunday...There is the threat for some severe convective weather Sunday, mainly from the eastern mountains and eastward. Weak trough will move across the region during the day with bulk shears increasing to around 30 knots during the afternoon. GFS shows weak frontal passage increasing upslope across the region bringing in additional low level moisture. SPC has a marginal risk for the I25 corridor and portions of the eastern plains, mentioning some stronger storms with wind being the main threat. Otherwise, it will be a warm and mostly dry day. There may be enough mid level moisture to initiate a few high based diurnal storms over the remaining mountains and high plains. .Monday...Subsidence behind the departing trough and another trough passing to the north will result in a mostly dry and warm day across the region. There may be enough moisture for some high based diurnal thunderstorms over the mountains, and the main threats look to be lightning and gusty winds. .Fourth of July through Friday...This has the potential to be an active period for severe convective weather from the eastern mountains and eastward. The flow aloft becomes westerly to northwesterly with a series of trough passing across the northern Rockies, with the southern end of the disturbances being over our CWA. In addition, fairly persistent upslope flow will develop bringing in more low level moisture into the region. The ENS mean CAPE plots shows the potential for significant CAPE over the eastern plains each day. Winds aloft increase with the operational models showing 500mb winds of around 25 to 40 knots, which will result in bulk shears of 30 to 50 knots with easterly component flow at the surface. The day to day variations in convective activity will depend on more subtle features which are tough to pinpoint at this forecast range. Overall, expect the potential for strong to severe weather each afternoon from the eastern mountains and eastward, starting with the Fourth of July Holiday. Further west, mid level moisture will be modest. The troughs will have the potential to increase the chances of convection, but any convection looks to be higher based with light to modest rainfall amounts and gusty winds. --PGW-- && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) Issued at 316 PM MDT Fri Jun 30 2023 VFR conditions expected at COS and PUB through the taf period, with strong storms already having moved east of the I-25 Corridor and the terminals by 00Z Sat. However, can't rule out a few showers at COS and PUB after 00Z through 06Z, as a broad upper trough lifts out across southeast Colorado. Skies clear behind the passing trough, with only isolated showers expected over the higher terrain on Saturday. VFR conditions look to prevail at ALS over the next 24 hours, with breezy southwest winds through the afternoon. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Storms are expected to develop across the Pikes Peak and Palmer Divide region and along the Raton Mesa through the early afternoon, and then continue across the far southeast plains through the late afternoon, before moving into western Kansas through the early evening. The primary threats from severe storms today will be large hail, of 1 to 2 inches in diameter and damaging winds of 60 to 70 mph. There will also be a low risk for a tornado or two. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday Showers and thunderstorms will be possible each day through Monday, few in number on Saturday and more numerous and possibly strong to severe on Sunday. Greatest chances for storms will be adjacent to the higher terrain as well as the far southeast plains. Around midweek, a disturbance will move through, with showers and storms becoming more widespread across the plains. Temperatures will also decrease. Through this period, the mountains and mountain valleys will remain mostly dry, with Fire Weather danger slowly increasing as fuels dry out over time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be likely over portions of the region. 23/23
