The radar

The Binghamton radar (KBGM), 11 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:11 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

Albany, NY (KALY), launched 12:00Z, 10.2 hours before the alert went out and 174 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 Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at May 18, 3:27 PM EDT, 2 hours 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 18, 3:27 PM EDT, 2 hours 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
327 PM EDT MON MAY 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM MUGGY AIR MASS WILL COMBINE WITH A NORTH TO SOUTH FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TO TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
AREA INTO TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA BY EARLY
AFTERNOON TUESDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE. MUCH COOLER WEATHER WILL FOLLOW BEHIND THE FRONT FOR THE
MIDDLE AND LATER PART OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING A DEEP PLUME OF MOISTURE
EXTENDING FROM THE GULF STATES AND SOUTHERN ATLANTIC NORTH ACROSS
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON. SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 60S AND DEEP LAYER PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND
1.75 ARE WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR MID-MAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING WITHIN THIS PLUME OF MOISTURE AND
THESE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME INCREASINGLY FOCUSED ALONG A
PRONOUNCED SURFACE CONVERGENCE ZONE EXTENDING FROM NEAR SYR TO BGM
TO AVP INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. EAST OF THIS BOUNDARY EASTERLY
FLOW HAS RESULTED IN TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE 60S AT MSV
WHILE TO THE WEST TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 80S WEST OF I-81.

LATEST SPC ANALYSIS INDICATES MLCAPE VALUES RANGING FROM
1000-1500 J/KG EAST OF I-81 IN THE WARM MOIST AIR. DEEP LAYER
WIND SPEEDS ARE GENERALLY LESS THAN 20 KTS SO EXPECTING MOST
STORMS TO BE OF THE PULSE VARIETY... HOWEVER THE LINEAR NATURE OF
THE LOW- LEVEL CONVERGENCE COULD RESULT IN SOME POORLY ORGANIZED
LINES OF STORMS AS WELL. SEVERAL OF OUR HIGH RESOLUTION
CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODELS HAVE BEEN SHOWING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS INCREASING INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. GIVEN THE MOIST
ENVIRONMENT WITH WEAK DEEP LAYER WIND FLOW EXPECT THAT THE MAIN
CONCERN WITH THESE SHOWERS WILL BE LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN...
ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUST OR LARGE HAIL REPORT CAN'T
BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT GIVEN THE MODERATE INSTABILITY NOW OVER
THE AREA. SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING BECOMING
ISOLATED OVERNIGHT.

LATEST MODEL FORECASTS INDICATE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS
CENTRAL NY AND NORTHEAST PA WILL BE LATE MORNING THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON. INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE LATE TUESDAY MORNING AND THE
FRONT MAY TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON
ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS EAST OF I-81. WIND AND SHEAR WILL BE STRONGER
THAN TODAY AND MOISTURE WILL BE LESS... THEREFORE THE MAIN THREAT
WITH ANY STORMS ON TUESDAY WILL BE GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH MUCH LOWER
TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY. LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO TRACK FROM THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY TOWARD THE CAROLINAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY WITH ASSOCIATED RAIN WELL TO OUR SOUTH. GENERALLY WENT
WITH A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY WHICH YIELDED UNSEASONABLY COOL HIGHS IN THE MID 50S TO
MID 60S ON WEDNESDAY... WARMING A BIT INTO THE 60S ON THURSDAY.
LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 30S TO MID 40S WITH A
TOUCH OF FROST NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION IN NORMALLY COOLER
LOCATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
QUIET PD FOR THE XTNDD. SCNDRY FNT APRCHS THE AREA ON FRI AND MGT
GENERATE A FEW SHWRS OVER THE NRN AREAS WITH PEAK HTG. HGTS BLDS
AGAIN AS SFC HIPRES BLDS IN FOR THE WEEKEND SO XPCT DRY WEATHER
INTO SUNDAY. WITH THE TROFINESS ALOFT IN THE PD...TEMPS WILL BE A
BIT COOLER THAN NRML DESPITE THE DAYTIME SUN.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
COMPLEX DBL FNT SYSTEM WILL PUSHES SHWRS AND TRWS INTO THE REGION
THIS AFTN AND TNGT. THIS AFTN...HTG AND APRCHG WRM FNT HAS ALREADY
GENERATED TSTMS. THIS WILL BRING BRIEF MVFR CONDS TO ANY STATION
IN THE PATH OF THE STORMS. TNGT...INCRSD LL MOISTURE WILL GENERATE
MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS ALONG WITH OCNL SHWRS. CRNT
TIMING ON THE FNT WILL GIVE A PASSAGE THRU THE AREA EARLY TUE.
LOOKS LIKE A RETURN TO VFR ALL STATIONS IS LIKELY BEFORE THE END
OF THE TAF PD.
