The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 2, 8:01 PM EDT, 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 8:01 PM EDT, 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 801 PM EDT Fri Jul 2 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Upper level disturbance will bring cool weather through tomorrow with heavy showers and a few thunderstorms. Ridging builds in on Sunday with warmer and mainly dry conditions expected into Monday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... 800 PM update... Showers and thunderstorms continue over our area. Only changes made with this update were PoPs for the next 6 hours, trying to capture where storms may continue. Forecast was based on some of the hi-res models. Certainly difficult to pinpoint location of showers and storms as this upper level low spins overhead. While flooding concerns continue, the severe threat should wind down as we no long have the heating. Small hail, heavy rain, gusty winds, and lightning are all hazards associated with these storms. Patchy fog was added for tomorrow morning. Winds and sky cover were briefly touched. 300 PM update... Upper level low pressure system is producing scattered heavy showers and a few thunderstorms this afternoon. Showers and storms have been slow moving with weak flow aloft, this has allowed some areas to pick up 2 to 3 inches of rain already today with minor flooding in a few spots. Water vapor imagery shows the upper low currently in western PA and this feature will move eastward and will be centered over New England by Saturday night. There have been a few breaks in the clouds this afternoon. This has created enough instability with the cold air aloft to produce a few thunderstorms that have had some small hail, with freezing levels down to only 10K feet. However, the main threat for today remains the heavy rainfall in slow moving storms. Will have to continue to watch for minor isolated flooding through this evening, especially in areas that have already seen those higher rainfall totals today. With the loss of heating this evening, we should see shower and storm activity diminish with more isolated showers into the overnight hours. Overall, the flash flood threat is low, but with the slow movement of these cells, it can't be ruled out. Tomorrow, there should be less instability with more cloud cover likely. Showers will again be more common in the afternoon just like today. High temperatures will be around 70 Saturday with low temperatures falling into the mid and upper 50s tonight. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... 320 PM update... Mostly sunny skies are expected for Sunday. Chances for showers and thunderstorms remain low. While still under the influences of the upper level low, combined with daytime heating, there could be some thunderstorm activity in the afternoon and early evening hours. The best chances for thunderstorms will be in the Poconos and Catskills. Any rain shower and thunderstorm activity should conclude by sunset, which will be favorable for any holiday celebrations scheduled then. Sunday will be a pleasant day for most with shower chances limited and temperatures in the 70s. A cool night is in store as nighttime temps drop into the 50s. With weak high pressure over the area, rain chances will be limited during the day on Monday. Chances for rain showers and isolated thunderstorms are a little better Monday night with as a weak front moves into the region. The best chances for rain showers will be in parts of northern Susquehanna Region and areas northward. This is a change from our previous forecast where all of CNY had a decent chance at showers Monday night. There is some uncertainty as the GFS shows widespread showers while the ECMWF keeps most of the region fairly dry. Due to this uncertainty, mainly the National Blend of Models (NBM) was used for PoPs late night Monday which resulted in the forecast being closer to the ECMWF solution. Monday will be warmer and more humid as highs will be in the 80s and low 90s with dew points in the 60s as a ridge brings warmer air and moisture to the region. Forecasted temps were bumped up a couple of degrees above guidance due to that ridge bringing warmer air into the region. Lows on Monday will also be warm with 60s across most of the area, but 70s are possible over the northern Finger Lakes areas. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... 320 PM update... Not much has changed with the activity expected in the long term. This period is full of chances for rain showers and thunderstorms. The early part of the week will be warm with a cool down expected mid-week. Chances for showers and afternoon thunderstorms at better going into Tuesday as the next system passes through. Warmer temps during the day will again provide some support for convection in the afternoon and evening hours. Daytime highs will be in the 80s and low 90s with dew points in the 60s, leading to another warm, humid day. Overnight lows will be comfortable as 50s are expected. A trough begins to dig south across the Central US mid-week. With the trough over the Great Lakes, it brings another round of showers and thunderstorms to the area. A slight cooling trend is also expected around mid-week, as highs on Wednesday will be in the upper 70s to mid 80s. This trough moves east through the end of the week bringing additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures should remain seasonal through the end of the week. && .AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... An upper level disturbance will continue to bring showers and thunderstorms and associated restrictions to the region over the next couple of hours. Brief IFR conditions will be possible in heavier showers and storms. TEMPOs were added to all terminals, except ITH and AVP, for showers or storms and associated restrictions. Confidence was too low to have a TEMPO for ITH and AVP. Ceilings and visibility are expected to drop within the next couple of hours and will remain low through Saturday morning. Patchy fog is expected at all terminals from 06z to around 14z. Ceilings begin to improve after 14z with all terminals back to at least MVFR, except AVP where Fuel Alt is expected. There is another chance for showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. Confidence was high enough to include rain showers at RME tomorrow afternoon, but not high enough to include at the rest of the terminals. Winds should be generally light during this period but will be gusty with the presence of any showers or thunderstorms over terminals. Outlook... Saturday afternoon through Saturday night... Restrictions possible in scattered showers and storms. Sunday and Monday...Mainly VFR. Tuesday and Wednesday...Mainly VFR; but showers and thunderstorms with brief restrictions will be possible. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
