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.

What 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 Aug 7, 3:25 PM MDT, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 3:25 PM MDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
325 PM MDT Mon Aug 7 2023

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 325 PM MDT Mon Aug 7 2023

Key Messages:

1) Severe storms possible over the eastern plains this afternoon
through mid evening.

2) Red flag warning today and tomorrow for parts of the district.

Currently...

Dryer air becoming more apparent in the mtns and valleys as dwpts
are in teh teens and 20s over the mtns and most of the valleys.
Somewhat drier air is beginning to push out onto the plains along
the I-25 corridor as dwpts are in the 40s most of these locations.
Better moisture is still out eat, with dwpts near 60 over the far
eastern plains.

Some convection was trying to get going over the Pikes Peak region
but was likely struggling due to the dryer air starting to penetrate
into the I-25 corridor region.

Rest of Today into Tonight...

Main concern will be this evening as convection along the I-25
corridor region early this afternoon moves into a more favorable
environment over the eastern plains later this afternoon and
evening. CAMS still indicate a couple of supercells developing and
pushing southeast, with the greatest threat east of a line from La
junta to Campo. Large hail., damaging winds and an isolated tornado
cant be ruled out, especially over the extreme northeast sections of
the southeast CO plains. The brunt of the strong convection should
be into KS by early/mid evening.

Otherwise, dry and mainly clear conditions the remainder of the
night.

As for the Red Flag Warning, winds will decrease by early evening so
critical fire weather conditions will end. Humidity recovery should
be relatively high over most of the mtns, although higher peaks,
especially in the La Garitas and San Juans will likely have poor
recovery as much dryer air is noted in the highest peaks

Tomorrow...

Main concern tomorrow will be fire weather. Meteorological
conditions for extreme fire behavior will occur and the fuels are
now dry across the San Juans, so Red Flag in effect for San Juans,
SLV, S Mtns and S I-25 corridor.

As for convection, isolated high based convection will be possible
over the region through late afternoon, with a slight uptick possible
over N El Paso county during the mid to late afternoon time period.

Otherwise, Seasonably warm weather expected over the region with 80s
and 90s plains, mid 80s SLV and 60s and 70 higher terrain.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 325 PM MDT Mon Aug 7 2023

Key Messages:

1) Dry and slightly cooler Wednesday with possible Critical Fire
   Weather Conditions.

2) Slowly increasing moisture leading to increasing chances of
   daily diurnal showers and storms from the end of the work week
   through the weekend.

Tuesday night-Wednesday night...Moderate northwest flow aloft
Tuesday night moderates and becomes more westerly through the day
Wednesday, as a rather unseasonably strong upper trough translates
across the Northern Rockies and into the High Plains. Models in good
agreement of much drier air working into the region behind the
passing trough, with generally dry conditions expected across the
region, though can't rule out a few CU build ups across the higher
terrain. Passing trough sends a cool front across the plains Tuesday
night, with weak upslope leading to slightly cooler temperatures
areawide on Wednesday. Moderating northwesterly flow through the day
Wednesday will lead to less mixing aloft, however near critical fire
weather conditions will remain possible across south central
Colorado Wednesday afternoon, with rhs remaining below 15 percent.

Thursday into the Weekend...Operational models and ensemble data
indicate upper level ridging building across the Southern High
Plains and Southern Rockies through the weekend with flow aloft
becoming more south to southwest across the Central Rockies. This
will lead to slowly increasing available moisture across the region,
and increasing chances for daily showers and storms through the
weekend. Storms, will initially be high based, leading to potential
dry lightning and critical fire weather conditions, especially for
western portions of the County Warning Area. As for temperatures, at
to slightly above seasonal norms are expected into the weekend.

Early next week...Model data continues to indicate upper level
ridging continuing to build west into the Great Basin and
Intermountain West, with flow aloft becoming more west to northwest
across the region. This will lead to warming and drying across
western portions of the area, with possible storm chances continuing
across eastern Colorado with northwest flow and occasional surges
in low level moisture across the plains.
