Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 30 minutes after it went out.
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
Grand Junction, CO (KGJT), launched 00:00Z, 0.0 hours before the alert went out and 375 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.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jul 21, 5:53 PM MDT, 7 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Potential for stronger storms across the southeast mtns and plains through the early evening.
- A bit warmer and drier tomorrow, with the trend continuing into the end of week.
- Potential upturn in thunderstorm chances (mainly higher terrain) possible next weekend as flow aloft becomes more swly, bringing mid- level moisture plume back into Colorado.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pueblo CO 553 PM MDT Sun Jul 21 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Potential for stronger storms across the southeast mtns and plains through the early evening. - A bit warmer and drier tomorrow, with the trend continuing into the end of week. - Potential upturn in thunderstorm chances (mainly higher terrain) possible next weekend as flow aloft becomes more swly, bringing mid- level moisture plume back into Colorado. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 238 PM MDT Sun Jul 21 2024 Current water vapor imagery continues to indicate an embedded short wave translating through the west to northwest flow across the state, with regional radars indicating widespread shower and thunderstorm activity across south central and southeast CO at this time. Water vapor and GOES Blended Total Precipitable Water data indicates PWATS running around 100 to 125 percent of normal across the region, with some drying noted across the Northern Great Basin and Intermountain West at this time. The early start of convection this morning has limited instability, especially across the Pikes Peak region and into Pueblo County, with latest SPC Meso- analysis indicating MLCAPEs of up to 500 j/kg over and near the higher terrain and 500-1000 j/kg across the I-25 Corridor through the far southeast Plains. Effective shear is in the 20-30kt range across the eastern Mountains into southeast plains, and looks to increase to around 35 kts through the late afternoon. For the rest of the afternoon and tonight, the shortwave continues to push south and east across the region through tonight, with uvv leading to showers and storms continuing to develop and slide south and east across the mountains and plains through the afternoon, with convection diminishing from northwest to southeast through the evening hours. With the ample moisture in place, locally heavy rainfall remains possible with all storms, with the potential for strong to marginally severe storms remaining across portions of southeast mountains and southern I-25 Corridor, where the best shear is expected to be in place. With that said, have kept the current Flash Flood Watch in tact across the southeast mountains and I-25 Corridor, however, would expect at least northern portions the watch may be cancelled early. Drier air works into the area within the more northerly flow aloft across Rockies behind tonight's passing wave. This will lead to lesser coverage of afternoon showers and storms, with the best coverage over the higher terrain. Slight warming aloft will lead to warmer temperatures tomorrow, though still below seasonal levels in the mid 70s to mid 80s across the Plains, and mainly in the 60s and 70s across the higher terrain. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Issued at 238 PM MDT Sun Jul 21 2024 Upper level ridge slowly amplifies over the western U.S. early next week, allowing northerly flow to persist across Colorado. Pattern should lead to a general downturn in convection in the Tue-Thu timeframe, as drier air works into the area from the north. Still a low threat of afternoon/evening convection over the higher terrain each day with recycled moisture, though several deterministic models suggest potential for little/no precip by Thu as air mass continues to dry out. NBM pops have slowly trended downward as a result, though suspect they are still overdone by Wed/Thu given flow pattern, and lowered pops somewhat over the mountains both days. Temps will begin to rise with loss of moisture, and daytime maxes will climb back to near/slightly above average levels by mid-week. While not explicitly mentioned in the forecast, could see some periods of haze and smoke Tue/Wed as smoke from western U.S. wildfires rotates around the ridge, thought day-to-day timing of influx of any lower visibility is difficult to time at this point. From Friday into the weekend, upper wave moving eastward through southern Canada will flatten the western U.S. ridge somewhat, with flow across Colorado gradually becoming more swly with time. This should bring back increased moisture and greater coverage of convection to the mountains over the weekend, while plains storm coverage will remain sparse at best given weak steering flow and lack of moisture. Max temps don't change much, with slightly above average readings continuing. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 552 PM MDT Sun Jul 21 2024 VFR conditions are expected to prevail for all TAF sites (KALS, KCOS, and KPUB) throughout the forecast period, however there will be -SHRA at KCOS until around 01Z and SHRA/TSRA for KPUB until around 04Z, and also possible at KALS between 02-05Z. This could could temporarily reduce CIGs and VIS to MVFR/IFR criteria. It could also result in periodic windshifts and increased wind speeds for all terminals. Winds will otherwise be synoptically influenced at all terminals and generally out of the NW-NNE at KCOS and KPUB, which will weaken and become L&V at KPUB later on. Current gusty SE'ly winds at KALS will also weaken by later in the evening to L&V, then increase and become persistent out of the ENE at KALS, and ESE-SE'ly at KCOS/KPUB by later in the afternoon tomorrow, towards the end of the forecast period. -Stewey && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

With ample moisture in place, the main storm risks will be heavy rainfall, gusty outflow winds to 45 mph, small hail and lightning. A few stronger storms across the southeast mountains and into the southern I-25 Corridor could produce strong winds to near 60 mph and hail to near one inch in diameter. With saturated soils from previous heavy rainfall, a flash flood watch is in effect until 10 PM for the Interstate 25 Corridor, the Wet Mountains and the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Area burn scars and urban areas will be most susceptible, however anywhere that receives heavy rain could see flash flooding today. Remember, if you encounter flooded roadways, turn around, don't drown! .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday Daily isolated to scattered afternoon rain showers and thunderstorms are expected for Monday through Saturday. The greatest coverage will be along and around the mountains. Expected hazards with any more organized storms will be gusty winds, small hail, heavy rain, and lightning. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be likely over portions of the region. 23/23
