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

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 17 storm reports to this flash flood warning; the first came 32 minutes after it went out.

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.

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 Jul 14, 3:06 PM EDT, 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 3:06 PM EDT, 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
306 PM EDT Mon Jul 14 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak front approaching from the west will move through
tonight and remain nearby as a Bermuda high remains anchored
well offshore. The boundary will lift north by Thursday, with an
attendant cold front following into late week. Behind it, high
pressure will attempt to build in this weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Points:

* Flood Watch remains in effect from 2 PM to midnight for NE NJ,
  the lower Hudson Valley, NYC, and SW CT, with scattered
  instances of flash flooding possible.

A shortwave trough axis moving out of the the eastern Great
Lakes/Ohio Valley region, and an accompanying sfc trough
approaching eastern PA, will both slide eastward toward and
across the region late today into tonight.

An increasingly moist and unstable air mass (PW 2 inches and
MLCAPE 1000-1500 J/kg with both still on the increase per SPC
mesoanalysis/forecast) has already led to sct showers/tstms
with heavy downpours mostly north of NYC, and isolated amts over
an inch in spots. An increasingly widespread threat of
torrential downpours from tstm activity should materialize later
today into this evening as the trough to the west approaches,
with 2+"/hr rainfall rates possible as MLCAPE increases to
1500-20 J/kg, PW increases closer to 2.25 inches, a deep warm
cloud layer up to 15 kft, and weak SW steering flow.

Highest coverage/confidence in this activity remains across NE
NJ and adjacent parts of the lower Hudson Valley, where 12Z HREF
now forecasts a 50% chance of 3+ inches of rain in 3 hours. A
30% chance of 3 inches in 3 hours now extends eastward into NYC
and the rest of the lower Hudson Valley. Latest HRRR suggests
the most likely time frame for the heaviest rainfall should be
from 22Z-02Z.

Weak low level shear/helicity profiles and weak LLJ appear to
be a limitation for sustained updraft and backbuilding storms.

Rainfall of 2-3 inches and locally up to 5 inches possible from
Rockland/Westchester southward into NE NJ. For the west of the
watch area, amounts of 1-2 inches and locally over 3 inches
possible. Most of this could fall in as little as a 3-hr
period.

Isolated strong to severe wet downbursts are also possible, more
so NW of NYC where instability will be maximized.

The trough will slowly slides east overnight, with convective
coverage and intensity on the wane.

Seasonably warm and very muggy conditions will prevail through
tonight, with low temps from the upper 60s well inland to the
mid 70s invof NYC.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AM showers/tstms still possible Tue morning from NYC metro east
with the front still in the vicinity, then a chance for late day
showers/tstms from NYC north/west in the afternoon with a subtle
sfc trough still in the vicinity and a mid level shortwave
trough approaching. This activity should be on the weaker side
with instability much more limited and wind fields aloft weak.

Of more concern will be increasing heat/humidity. High temps on
Tue should reach the upper 80s/lower 90s from NYC north/west,
with mid 80s elsewhere. Combined with dewpoints in the upper
60s/lower 70s this could yield heat index values of 95-99 for
much of NE NJ and also parts of the lower Hudson Valley and the
CT river valley. A short fused heat advisory might be needed for
some or all of these areas.

Low temps Tue night should range once again from the upper 60s
well inland, to the mid 70s in the NYC metro area and western
Long Island.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Key Points:

* Increasing likelihood for heat indices to exceed 95F Wednesday
  through Friday across much of the region.

* Unsettled pattern with chances for afternoon showers and
  thunderstorms into late week.

The weakening frontal boundary lingers nearby into midweek as
sprawling high pressure remains anchored well out in the
Atlantic. SW flow helps usher in additional warm, moist air, and
temperatures nudge upwards. While nothing remarkable for mid
July, temperatures Wed through Fri likely top the upper 80s to
lower 90s for most, and with dew pts progged at least into the
upper 60s and lower 70s, heat indices should achieve mid to
upper 90s, with the hottest locales exceeding 100F. Heat
headlines will likely be needed as we move closer.

One caveat may be the unsettled pattern, with showers and
thunderstorms possible each afternoon through late week with
nearby frontal boundaries, though the overall severe risk
appears low. However, deep layer moisture should keep PWATs near
or above 2 inches, and with it, the potential for higher
rainfall rates with any convective activity.

Conditions potentially begin to settle into at least the start
of the weekend behind a cold fropa, as high pressure attempts
to build in from the Great Lakes.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A weak cold front settles over the terminals this afternoon and
evening, gradually sinking to the south tonight.

Mainly VFR this afternoon with lingering MVFR ceilings across
eastern Long Island and southeast Connecticut. Showers and
thunderstorms will continue expanding in coverage this
afternoon, especially from NYC terminals on north and west.
Showers/thunderstorms this evening slowly push east and weaken,
with a few showers lingering overnight. Torrential downpours
with MVFR/IFR conditions possible in any shower/thunderstorm.

Low confidence flight category forecast tonight into early
Tuesday, but MVFR conditions possible at all terminals. IFR
also possible, especially across eastern Long Island and
southeast Connecticut. Conditions should become VFR Tuesday
morning.

S-SE winds around 10 kt this afternoon. Winds will diminish
tonight then become SW-S under 10 kt Tuesday morning.

 ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
Wind speeds may be a few kt higher at times through 21z.

Amendments for timing of showers and thunderstorms possible.

Low confidence flight category forecast tonight/early Tuesday
morning.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

Tuesday Afternoon-Night: VFR during the afternoon/evening with a
chance of a shower/thunderstorm. MVFR or lower possible,
especially east of NYC metro at night.

Wednesday-Friday: MVFR or lower in any afternoon/evening
showers/thunderstorms.

Saturday: Mainly VFR.

Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component
forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90

&&

.MARINE...
SW flow increasing to over 15 kt could build seas close to 5 ft
on the outer ocean waters E of Fire Island Inlet Thu night.
Otherwise, afternoon/evening showers/tstms through the period
could produce locally higher winds/seas at times.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Flood Watch remains in effect from 2 PM to midnight for NE NJ,
the lower Hudson Valley, NYC, and SW CT.

A widespread 2-3 inches of rainfall is likely across NE NJ and
adjacent portions of the lower Hudson Valley, where the most
persistent/widespread convection is likely based on predicted
synoptic/mesoscale environment and CAM output.

A widespread 1-2 inches of rain is likely with localized
rainfall totals of up to 3 inches possible for the rest of the
lower Hudson Valley, NYC, and SW CT.

Most of the above could fall in as little as a 3-hr period.

Rainfall rates of over 2 inches per hour are possible with
stronger and/or repeat convection, which could cause localized
instances of severe flooding.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The rip current risk is low through Tuesday, with a 10 kt or
less onshore flow and weakening S-SE swell.

&&

.OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
