The radar
The Brookhaven radar (KOKX), 42 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 18:38 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 flash flood 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
Brookhaven, NY (KOKX), launched 12:00Z, 6.6 hours before the alert went out and 42 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, Oct 28, 11:10 AM EDT, 3 hours 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY
1110 AM EDT SAT OCT 28 2006
.SYNOPSIS...
MAJOR STORM OVER LAKE ONTARIO. COLD FRONT APPROACHING AREA ATTM.
&&
.NEAR TERM (THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT)...
POWERFUL STORM HAS ALREADY PRODUCED STRONG WINDS WHICH HAVE DOWNED
TREES...AND FLOODING RAINS. WIDESPREAD RAIN SEEN ON RADAR LOOPS
PUSHING NORTHEAST. HEAVIER CONVECTIVE RAINS SCATTERED ACROSS THE
AREA...AND THIS CONVECTION COULD BE THE FOCUS FOR BRINGING DOWN
STRONG WINDS ALOFT (LOW LEVEL JET). OKX VWP STILL SHOWS 50 TO 55 KT
AT 1 AND 2 KFT RESPECTIVELY.
AS SUCH...ALL HEADLINES WILL REMAIN THE SAME AS HIGH WIND WARNING
COULD BE REALIZED. IN ADDITION THIS SHOULD BE A HIGH IMPACT EVENT AS
THE GROUND IS SATURATED DUE TO THE HEAVY RAINS AND THE HIGH
SURFACE AREA FOR THE WINDS TO APPLY FORCE ON DUE TO NEAR FULL
FOLIAGE. AS ALREADY MENTIONED...TREES DOWN AND THERE HAVE BEEN
REPORTS OF POWER OUTAGES.
THERE WILL BE SOMEWHAT OF A LULL IN THE WINDS ONCE THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON FROM W TO E AS GRADIENT RELAXES TEMPORARILY.
TEMPERATURES IN THE WARM SECTOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO RISE INTO THE
LOWER TO POSSIBLY A FEW MID 60S DESPITE LIMITED MIXING AS 850 HPA
TEMPS RISE TO AROUND 12C IN WARM SECTOR.
THE STACKED 978-80 HPA LOW WILL WORK JUST NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO THIS
EVENING AND CONTINUE TO DEEPEN TO AROUND 970 HPA BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY
AS IT MOVES INTO WESTERN NY. DRY AIR WILL PUNCH IN BEHIND COLD FRONT
WITH ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY TAPERING OFF OVER EASTERN SECTIONS.
GRADIENT TIGHTENS ONCE AGAIN IN WAKE OF COLD FRONT THOUGH...FROM
WSW...AS LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DEEPEN AND HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO
BUILD IN FROM THE SW. WINDS AT TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER WILL INCREASE
TO AROUND 50 KT BY AROUND 06Z TONIGHT...WITH STRONG CAA BELIEVE WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO MIX DOWN 80 PERCENT OF THESE WINDS ACROSS MOST
OF THE REGION. SO EXPECTING SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH
GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 MPH THIS EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. SO WILL
CONTINUE WIND ADVISORY ALREADY IN EFFECT.
&&
.SHORT TERM (SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT)...
WINDS ADVISORY CONTINUES DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS SUNDAY AS INTENSE
LOW PRESSURE ONLY SLOWLY TRACKS NE THROUGH QUEBEC. WINDS
WILL CONTINUE AT 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS 45 TO 55 MPH THROUGH THE
MORNING. SINCE THE CAA WILL BE WANING AND TIGHTEST GRADIENT WILL
ACTUALLY BE TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION...WINDS SHOULD STAY BELOW
HIGH WIND WARNING LEVELS. BUT DAYSHIFT CAN RE-EVALUATE AND SEE IF
IMPACT WARRANTS A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE MORNING.
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN DURING THE AFTERNOON...FINALLY FALLING
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA IN THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. WITH
DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW AND COLD POOL INSTABILITY/VORT ENERGY ALOFT THINK
THAT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES IN THE MORNING WILL ONLY SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO
PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE AFTERNOON FROM S TO N. ANY RAIN/SNOW SHOWER
ACTIVITY OFF THE LAKES SHOULD REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE REGION DUE TO
WSW MID-LEVEL WIND TRAJECTORY. HAVE GONE 2 DEGREES OR SO BELOW
COOLER MAV GUIDANCE FOR HIGH TEMPS WITH ANOMALOUSLY STRONG CAA EARLY
AND CLOUD COVER.
CLEARING SKIES AND SUBSIDING WINDS SUNDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE TO
THE SOUTH POKES INTO THE REGION.
&&
.LONG TERM (MONDAY-FRIDAY)...
WITH MAIN FOCUS ON SHORT TERM FORECAST...HAVE FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE
CLOSELY. HIGH PRESSURE SOUTH OF THE CWA WILL KEEP CONDITIONS FAIR
AND DRY THROUGH TUESDAY. TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...UNSETTLED
CONDITIONS RETURN AS A COUPLE OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS DEVELOP ALONG
A COLD FRONT PASS NEARBY THE CWA. WILL GO WITH CHANCE OR SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS FOR MUCH OF THE TIME. ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE ON THURSDAY
WHEN LIKELY POPS ARE EXPECTED...AS A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A
LOW CROSSES THE CWA.
TEMPERATURES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE SEASONAL AS HIGHS CLIMB
INTO THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S WHILE LOWS FALL INTO THE 30S AND
40S. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY APPEAR TO BE MUCH COOLER WITH HIGHS ONLY IN
THE UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S.
&&
.AVIATION...
THE MID AND UPPER LVL DRY SLOT CONTS TO RAPIDLY ADVECT NEWD ACROSS
THE LOCAL AREA. THE BACK EDGE OF ENHANCED CLOUDS EXTENDED FROM
CENTRAL MA SWWD ACROSS WESTERN LONG ISLAND THEN OFF THE NJ COAST.
THE HEAVIEST RAIN...HIGHEST SFC WIND GUSTS UP TO 45 KT AND STRONGEST
VERTICAL SPEED SHEAR ARE EAST OF THIS LINE...WHICH WILL MOVE EAST OF
ALL TERMINALS BY 19Z. WE RECEIVED MANY PILOT REPORTS OF STRONG SPEED
SHEAR.
IFR/MVFR CIGS AND VSBY WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE WITH THE WIND SHIFT FM
SE TO SW BETWEEN 16Z AND 18Z ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE WARM FRONTAL
PASSAGE.
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH BETWEEN 20Z AND 22Z FOLLOWED BY STRONG
COLD ADVECTION AND WEST WINDS GUSTING UP TO 40 KT BY EVENING. VFR
CEILINGS RETURN DURING THIS TIME AS WELL.
&&
.MARINE...
COASTAL FLOOD WARNINGS WERE ISSUED FOR THE SHORES ALONG THE INLAND
BAYS FROM JAMAICA BAY IN BROOKLYN EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST SHORES
OF SUFFOLK COUNTY. TIDES WILL RISE 3 TO 4 FEET ABOVE NORMAL
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES CAUSING WIDESPREAD MODERATE FLOODING...UP TO 2
FEET ABOVE THE MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING BENCHMARKS AT HUDSON BAY AT
FREEPORT.
IMPRESSIVE LOW-LEVEL JET UP TO 50 TO 55 KT VIA THE OKX VWP. OBSERVED
SEAS AT 14 FT...AND 4 FT ON THE SOUND. STRONG COLD FRONT THEN
CROSSES THE WATERS BETWEEN 20Z AND 22Z WITH VERY STRONG COLD
ADVECTION. THE COMBINATION OF A DEEP MIXED LAYER AND DEEPENING LOW
PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL MAINTAIN A STRONG GRADIENT WIND
ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. THE WESTERN MARINE
ZONES...TRANSITION TO A GALE THIS EVENING...WHILE THE EASTERN WATERS
REMAIN UNDER A STORM WARNING.
TIDAL PILING IN THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW THIS MORNING PRODUCING
DEPARTURES OF 1.5 TO 2 FT ABOVE NORMAL. THIS COUPLED WITH LOW
ASTRONOMICAL TIDES AND A SHORT PERIOD OF ONSHORE FLOW DOES NOT
LOOK TO PRODUCE COASTAL FLOODING. ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM IN
THE STRONG WESTERLY FLOW...BLOWOUT TIDES MAY HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
CONNECTICUT AND LI NOW THE FOCUS FOR WIDESPREAD RAINFALL. THE BULK
OF THE RAIN HAS MOVED TO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. RAINFALL
COVERAGE IS REDUCED ACROSS NJ...THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...AND NYC.
HEAVY PRECIP IS STILL POSSIBLE EVERYWHERE THOUGH...SO FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS UP.
