What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jun 28, 10:24 PM EDT	HAIL 1	Barneveld, NY	QUARTER SIZE HAIL REPORTED ON ROUTE 12.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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

Albany, NY (KALY), launched 00:00Z, 2.2 hours before the alert went out and 125 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.

Temperature in red, dew point in green, the mixed-layer parcel dashed.

REGION AND SOUTHEAST PA. THE FORMER AREA OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
SHOULD CROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING...WITH PERHAPS SLIGHT WEAKENING IN INTENSITY...AS
THE AIR MASS ACROSS CENTRAL NY/NORTHEAST PA HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT
CLOUDIER/MORE STABLE SO FAR TODAY. SINCE THERE IS STILL A SMALL
WINDOW FOR FURTHER DESTABILIZATION LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND THIS
AREA IS CLOSER TO THE BETTER HEATING THAT HAS OCCURRED DOWN OVER

HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS...ACROSS SECTIONS OF NORTHEAST PA AND

ACROSS UPSTATE NY...AND COULD TOUCH OFF SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY
OVER THE NORTHERN FINGER LAKES...MOHAWK VALLEY...SOUTHERN TUG
HILL...AND CATSKILL ZONES...ESPECIALLY FROM TUE NIGHT INTO WED
EVENING.

BY THU...AN AMPLIFIED CLOSED LOW FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WILL
BEGIN TO LIFT OUT ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...WITH RISING
HEIGHTS ACROSS NY/PA...AND MAINLY SUNNY SKIES.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THIS PERIOD WILL FEATURE BELOW NORMAL TEMPS
FOR EARLY JULY...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...AND
LOWS IN THE 40S AND LOWER 50S.

TEMPS APCHG 20C. SO...TEMP TREND WILL SHOW WRMG THRU THE PD WITH
HI/S WELL ABV NRML BY THE END OF THE PD. GNRLY FLWD HPC GUID FOR
TEMPS BUT DID DIAL BACK A BIT IN THE TEMPS NEAR THE END TO BLEND
BETTER WITH THE SRNDG OFFICES AND THE LATEST MEX GUID.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
