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, 0.1 hours before the alert went out and 127 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.

MJMWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at May 23, 7:41 PM EDT, 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 23, 7:41 PM EDT, 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Binghamton NY 741 PM EDT Thu May 23 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will push through the area this evening bring scattered thunderstorms, followed by cooler and drier air. Another front will approach for Saturday and will bring you another opportunity for showers and strong thunderstorms. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... 730 PM Update...Instability has increased out ahead of the final shortwave, which is now quickly crossing lake Ontario. MLCAPE has reached 500-900 J/Kg, with Effective SRH values 300-400 m2/s2 and 0-6km shear increased between 60-70 kts. Convection has fired up just ahead of this wave across Central NY and parts of NE PA. These thunderstorms will quickly race across the region (WNW to ESE) over the next few hours. The activity should move out of our CWA by 10PM to Midnight. Have issued several severe thunderstorm warnings already, and several more may be needed...please stay weather aware this evening and have an effective way to receive timely warnings. 600 PM Update... Have made several adjustments to the forecast based on latest trends and high resolution models. Bottom line is that high shear has overcome very weak CAPE today, limiting severe weather potential, and overall thunderstorm development. Multiple upper waves also may not have had enough wavelength separation from each other with a second short wave running into an area of subsidence and drying air behind the wave that came through this morning. A third upper wave moving from northern Michigan into Ontario has triggered isolated activity along the Niagara Frontier. The CAMS models continue to want to fire convection ahead of this feature this evening. Models have not performed well today, so confidence is much, if any, storm activity is low. That said, will still sweep some chance PoPs across our northern counties this evening to account for this feature and residual moderate instability lingering in the area. Most of the southern half of our forecast area should be relatively rain free. Previous discussion... Threat for severe storms highly dependent on the amount of heating and the accompanying instability we can develop. Sat images show plenty of clouds all the way back to Michigan, but it does look likes some partial clearing is developing over NE Ohio into Western NY and PA trying to work into the area. Plenty of low level shear in place so we will continue to monitor thunderstorms and the possibility of another Watch. Best chance it seems like would be over the NEPA counties where better shear and the best chance for instability exists. Otherwise cooler air behind the front will work in this evening and Friday. Some cold advection clouds will likely develop over the higher terrain, mainly east of I-81 where a few sprinkles are possible into Friday morning. Beyond that, dry conditions will continue into Friday night as high pressure builds into the area. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... Rather complex but ill defined system races through on Saturday and brings yet another chance for severe weather. Warm frontal type feature races through Saturday morning developing a few showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder. This barely clears the northern area as a cold front plows on from the west with more serious convection. With the warm front still nearby, concern would be for low level shear/helicity would be available to any cell that develops increasing the chance for damaging storms. Of course there are model timing difference but the front should clear the area in the late evening or just after midnight. Front then stalls around the Mason/Dixon line early Sunday. This should keep most convection south of the forecast area but there is a chance that a few showers to even thunderstorms could sneak back into NEPA. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... Sunday night through Monday night: High pressure builds in and moves the region with another calmer period in time for the holiday. Still pleasant temperature wise with lows in the 50's and highs in the 70's. Tuesday through Wednesday night: A mid-level ridge over the southeast deflects the next system into the Great Lakes. An associated warm front will provide the lift and moisture for some additional shower and thunderstorm chances in this period. Higher chances are currently present across northern portions of central New York but that will be dependent on the strength and location of the ridge over the southeast. Our region may see 80's by Wednesday with ensemble guidance potentially too cool if the boundary ends up north of our region. && .AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Cold front sweeping through the area this evening will bring showers and thunderstorms, along with brief restrictions to MVFR levels and gusty winds. Behind the front, cold advections will lower the ceilings to MVFR in most places as a solid strato-cu deck moves in late overnight. Drier air and mixing will return all stations to VFR later Friday afternoon. Outlook... Friday night and Saturday...VFR. Saturday night...Showers and thunderstorms with associated restrictions likely. Sunday through Tuesday...Mainly VFR. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
