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 New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 25, 5:49 PM EDT, 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 25, 5:49 PM EDT, 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
549 PM EDT Tue Sep 25 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front will slowly move north of the area this evening,
followed by a cold front Wednesday and Wednesday night. High
pressure returns on Thursday and then builds to the north on
Friday as a wave of low pressure passes to the south. A stronger
high pressure builds from the west over the weekend and then
offshore early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
Band of heavy rain extending from Fairfield County into western
Long Island continues to produce flash flooding as it moves
east. Hi res guidance continues to indicate this area maintains
itself as it moves east this evening. Warm front is about half
way through the forecast area as of 3pm and is expected to lift
north this evening.

Have noted cu buildups across SE PA, although there isn't any
lightning yet. Soundings are indicating destabilization into the
evening and overnight so have maintained a schc tstms. There is
a mid level shortwave that also moves through this eve and once
this pushes east and the front lifts north shower and tstms
activity will diminish. Overnight hours may not see much in the
way of widespread activity, but any tstms that do develop,
especially this eve, have the potential to produce heavy rain
with PWATS close to 2 inches.

Winds should remain high enough at the coast to keep fog from
developing tonight, however inland, areas of fog are expected
which could become dense.

There is a high rip current risk for the Atlantic beaches into
this evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Areas of fog during the early morning hours will dissipate as
heating and mixing commences. Scattered showered in the morning
will become more widespread as the day progresses with a pre-
frontal trough developing and followed by a cold front during
the eve. Moderate instability and 30-40kt of 0-6km bulk shear
has warranted SPC to place the entire area in a slight risk for
severe weather on Wed. The main threat is damaging winds. Heavy
rain will once again be a concern although the storms should be
moving and the upper pattern does not appear to be conducive for
training storms. However, urban and small stream flooding cannot
be ruled out.

Showers/tstms end from W to E Wed night with dry weather
returning behind it.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The synoptic pattern through the long term will be characterized by
a large, mean trough over the northern CONUS. The upper trough may
flatten later this weekend and lift back into Canada early next week
as ridging rebuilds over the east.

High pressure will briefly build over the region on Thursday and
then lift to our north on Friday. The cold front that moves across
late Wednesday into Wednesday night stalls to our south.
A broad SW flow aloft and some shortwave energy may interact
with this front and develop a wave of low pressure along it
Thursday night. This wave likely passes to our south and east on
Friday. Have continued to keep PoPs in the slight to low chance
range. Thinking the surface high will continue to ridge down
into the region preventing much in the way of precipitation. The
low moves offshore late Friday into Friday night with a
stronger high building into the region for the rest of the
weekend. This high will likely move offshore early next week
with the approach of the next frontal system.

Temperatures should average near normal through the long term period
with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s and nighttime
temperatures mainly in the lower and middle 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Warm front continued to work north across the area tonight, but
may struggle to do so across the Lower Hudson Valley until
after daybreak Wednesday. Cold front approaches from the west on
Wednesday.

Mvfr or lower this eve, with rain tapering off thru 4z from w to e.
Heaviest shwrs from KJFK to KBDR and points e. Cigs lower to ifr all
areas overnight.

Winds will continue to diminish this eve. Light and variable winds
may prevail across the Lower Hudson Valley. S-SW winds of 10 to 15
kt expected on Wednesday.

the afternoon/evening.

showers.

.MARINE...
SCA remains in effect through 6pm for all non-ocean waters, with
gusts expected to subside below 25 kt by this time. Gusts on the
ocean waters will also diminish below 25 kt, although seas will
remain above 5 ft through Wed night.

Winds are likely to remain below SCA levels Thursday through the
weekend on all area waters. Ocean seas on Thursday into Thursday
night will remain elevated above 5 ft, but then should remain 3-4 ft
from Friday into the weekend.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Basin average rainfall amounts of 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches is
expected through Wed night, with locally higher amounts
possible. The potential for localized flash flooding remains
into this evening. Scattered tstms Wed/Wed eve have the
potential to produce heavy rainfall however urban and small
stream flooding appears to be the potential threat at this
point.
