The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A vigorous low pressure just north of New York's St Lawrence Valley at daybreak, moved rapidly eastward. A wedge of warm moist air was over eastern New York until the cyclone's cold front passed through later in the day. An isolated severe thunderstorm formed in the northern Catskills near Middleburg producing damaging wind gusts.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 24, 10:17 AM EST, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1117 AM EDT SUN SEP 24 2006
CORRECTED TYPOS
.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
SOME VERY MINOR CHANGES TO THE ONGOING FORECAST. WE TRIED TO TREND
THE POPS ACCORDING TO THE EVOLUTION AND MOVEMENT OF THE CONVECTIVE
RAINBAND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WHICH IS NOW JUST NORTH OF KGFL AND
EXTENDS SW TO KELM. NO CG LTG HAS BEEN DETECTED WITH THIS LINE OF
SHOWERS YET. HOWEVER...THE VISIBLE SATELLITE PICTURE SHOWS SOME
BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER IN THE ERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND GREATER
CAPITAL REGION. SOME PREFRONTAL CONVECTION DEVELOPED AROUND 1315Z
RIGHT OVER THE OFFICE IN THE VICINITY OF THE ALY AIRPORT. THIS
PREFRONTAL TROUGH CONVECTION IN THE FAST LOW-MID LEVEL SW FLOW HAS
NOW EXITED INTO WRN NEW ENGLAND. THE AIR MASS IS VERY RIPE WITH SFC
DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S. SFC BASED CAPE VALUES ARE GENERALLY 200-300
J/KG FROM THE 15Z LAPS SOUTH OF ALY. A 50-60 KT 850 MB LOW-LEVEL JET
MAX IS MOVING OVER CNTRL-ERN NY AT THIS TIME. THE KALY SOUNDING
SHOWS THE STRONG LOW AND MID LEVEL JET ALSO WITH SOME CAPE POSSIBLE
IN THE 500 J/KG OR SO RANGE. THE LACK OF HEATING MAY INHIBIT A
WIDESPREAD SEVERE POTENTIAL FROM ALY SOUTH AND EAST...BUT WE ARE IN
A HIGH SHEAR LOW CAPE ENVIRONMENT. WE CAN NOT RULE OUT ISOLD TO SCT
SEVERE POTENTIAL. SPC HAS THE ERN CATSKILLS...HUDSON RIVER VALLEY
EASTWARD INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND IN THE SLIGHT RISK.
WE RECEIVED A WIND GUST REPORT OF 40 MPH FROM FAIRFIELD IN SRN
HERKIMER COUNTY. EARLIER THIS MORNING KSYR HAD A GUST TO 43 MPH.
THE SURFACE LOW IS JUST NORTH OF KMSS IN SRN QUEBEC. WE ARE
EXPECTING THE GRADIENT LEVEL FLOW TO PRODUCE GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH
FROM THE CAPITAL REGION NORTH IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN TACT THERE.
THE FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THE ERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA BTWN
18Z-21Z. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE IMPULSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE POSITIVELY
TITLED UPPER LOW UPSTREAM MAY BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS LATER.

/ISSUED 353 AM EDT SUN SEP 24 2006/
SYNOPSIS...
A STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LIFT NORTHEASTWARD...JUST
TO NORTH OF THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY TODAY. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED
WITH THE LOW WILL SWEEP ACROSS EASTERN NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN
NEW ENGLAND LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THIS FRONT WILL BRING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF
THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER...EXCEPT FOR A FEW
LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS POSSIBLE NORTH AND WEST OF THE CAPITAL
REGION.
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM IS IN THE FIRST 12 HRS...WITH SOME
SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTN. 993 MB SFC
CYCLONE CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS EASTERN END OF LAKE HURON...WITH
SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE FALLS ACROSS GEORGIAN BAY AND SE ONTARIO. THIS
CONFIRMS EXPECTED TRACK TO THE NE...PASSING JUST NORTH OF THE ST
LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY TODAY. COLD FRONT CURRENTLY SLICING THRU
EASTERN MICHIGAN AND WESTERN OHIO. STILL SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES IN
TERMS OF TIMING OF COLD FRONT PASSAGE /CFROPA/...WITH GFS STILL
AROUND 3 HRS EARLIER THAN WRF/NAM. WRF ALSO SHOWING A MESSIER FROPA
WITH A FEW DIFFERENT SFC WAVES DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT...THUS THE
LAG IN TIMING. WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS...WHICH
HAS SHOWN GOOD RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY WITH THIS SYSTEM /BUT HAS HAD
SOME ISSUES WITH QPF LEADING UP TO TODAY/.
THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL IS STILL A BIT MURKY FOR TODAY.
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL LIMIT INSTABILITY BUILDUP...WITH THE
THICKER CLOUDS FROM ALBANY NORTH AND WEST. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE SFC BASED CAPE VALUES OF 300-500 J/KG JUST AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...BUT WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. MAINLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 50-65
KTS ARE FORECAST TO BE POSITIONED ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS
MORNING INTO THE AFTN. ENX VAD WIND PROFILE HAS SHOWN A STEADY
INCREASE IN WINDS ALOFT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS NOW. GFS SHOWING
850 MB WINDS AROUND 40-45 KTS...WITH 700 MB WINDS CLOSE TO 60 KTS.
THIS POINTS TO A DAMAGING WIND GUST THREAT. THE BIG QUESTION WILL BE
THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY...SINCE THE STRONG WIND FIELD AND SHEAR
WILL BE PRESENT. THE BEST UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL PASS BY TO OUR
NORTH...WHILE THE BEST THERMODYNAMICS WILL BE FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. WHILE IT APPEARS ALL AREAS WILL BE UNSTABLE
ENOUGH FOR SOME THUNDER...AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL
REGION SEEM TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF ANY SEVERE WEATHER DUE TO
TIMING. THAT BEING SAID...THIS IS STILL A LOW CONFIDENCE EVENT. LINE
/OR LINES/ OF CONVECTION SHOULD BE PRETTY NARROW...SO THE ENTIRE DAY
WILL NOT BE A WASHOUT...WITH DRY PERIODS PRECEDING AND FOLLOWING
CFROPA.
THE NEXT THREAT IS A 3-6 HOUR PERIOD OF GUSTY WINDS IMMEDIATELY
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE STRONGEST PRESSURE FALL/RISE COUPLET WILL
MOVE UP THRU THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY...WITH SOME DECENT VALUES
EXTENDING SOUTHWARD INTO ROUGHLY THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR FORECAST
AREA. BASED WIND ADVISORY ON THIS THRESHOLD...AS MIXING BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR AT LEAST 30-40 MPH GUSTS IN MOST
LOCATIONS...BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD FOLLOW THE PATH OF THE
PRESSURE COUPLET. SINCE THE SFC CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO TRACK
NE...LEFT SOUTHERN VERMONT/BERKSHIRES OUT OF THE ADVISORY. WILL
MENTION GUSTS AROUND 40 MPH IN THESE HIGHER ELEVATION AREAS. THE
ADVISORY WILL INCLUDE THE CAPITAL REGION AND POINTS NORTH IN NEW
YORK STATE. GUSTS OF 40-50 MPH WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN THE ADVISORY
AREA.
ANY CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT SHOULD BE EAST OF THE
ENTIRE AREA BY LATE AFTN...WITH WINDS DIMINISHING DURING THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS. TEMPS WILL BE QUITE WARM...ESPECIALLY IN THE HUDSON
VALLEY AND POINTS SOUTH AND EAST. LOCALS IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY
MAY REACH 80 THIS AFTN.
CONDITIONS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY QUIET DOWN TONIGHT...AS THE STORM
SYSTEM PULLS AWAY...AND A NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME SETS UP. SOME LAKE
EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY NW OF
THE CAPITAL REGION...AS CHILLY AIR MOVES ACROSS THE 60F LAKE SFC
WATER. TEMPS WILL BE COOLER ON MONDAY...A BIT BELOW SEASONAL
AVERAGES. THE NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE WILL BE DEWPOINTS 15-20 DEGREES
LOWER THAN TODAY. A MOISTURE STARVED UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA MON NIGHT INTO
TUE...BRINGING A FEW SHOWERS. OTHERWISE...SFC HI PRESSURE BUILDS IN
BY LATE TUE.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NO CHANGES TO GOING FORECAST BEYOND TUESDAY. HI PRESSURE TO REMAIN
IN CONTROL OF OUR WEATHER INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...WITH A
SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPING ON WED LASTING INTO THUR...AS THE HIGH
DRIFTS EASTWARD OFF THE COAST. THIS WILL BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES
TO THE REGION. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING EASTWARD THRU MIDWEST
WILL GIVE US OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
AVIATION...
PREDOMINANTLY VFR CONDITIONS IN THE PREDAWN HOURS WITH SOME LOCALLY
MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY DUE TO LOW STRATUS AND FOG. THESE ARE
EXPECTED TO LIFT OUT BEFORE DAWN. WITH NEARLY CALM WINDS AT THE
SURFACE IN MANY AREAS PRIOR TO DAWN WITH A LOW LEVEL JET AROUND 850
HPA SOME LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR MAY BE ENCOUNTERED ESPECIALLY IN THE
HUDSON VALLEY. MVFR WITH LOCALLY IFR CONDITIONS MAY BE EXPECTED IN
SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN AROUND 1500 AND 1900 GMT
AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL GUST 15
TO 30 KNOTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND SHIFT WEST 15 TO 30 KNOTS AS THE
FRONT PASSES. CEILINGS WILL BECOME SCATTERED CLOUDS AT 5000 FEET MSL
FOLLOWING THE FRONT AND WINDS WILL DIE DOWN AFTER SUNSET. CLOUDS
WILL BECOME BROKEN 5000 BY LATE EVENING AS ADDITIONAL MOISTURE IS
BROUGHT OFF LAKE ONTARIO.
FIRE WEATHER...
VERY CHANGEABLE WEATHER IS IN STORE TODAY. IT WILL BE A HUMID START
TO THE DAY...WITH SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. WINDS WILL START OUT SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST AROUND 10 TO 20 MPH THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND INCREASE TO BETWEEN 20
AND 30 MPH...WITH GUSTS OF 35 TO 50 MPH POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON. THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE FROM THE CAPITAL REGION NORTH AND WEST.
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES THIS AFTERNOON WILL GENERALLY BE 55
TO 65 PERCENT. WINDS WILL SUBSIDE TONIGHT TO AROUND 5 TO 15
MPH...WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERY TO BETWEEN 85 AND 100 PERCENT.
ON MONDAY...THE MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL BE 40 TO 50 PERCENT
IN THE VALLEYS AND 60 TO 70 PERCENT IN THE MOUNTAINS. WINDS WILL BE
WEST AROUND 10 TO 15 MPH.
HYDROLOGY...
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAY BE EXPECTED AROUND THE TIME OF THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE MIDDAY TODAY WITH A QUICK 0.5 TO 1.0 INCHES OF RAIN
IN AN HOUR OR LESS. THIS WILL QUICKLY BRING SOME SMALL STREAMS TO
NEAR BANKFULL AND POSSIBLY CAUSE ISOLATED MINOR FLOODING OF POORLY
DRAINED ROADS AND PARKING AREAS. LARGER RIVERS WILL HAVE MINOR
WITHIN-BANKS RISES AS HEAVY RAIN WILL BE CONFINED TO FAIRLY SMALL
AREAS. FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE SOME LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS
MAY AFFECT THE MOHAWK VALLEY THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. THEY WILL
MOSTLY JUST BE A NUISANCE AS PRECIP AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT.HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 954 AM EDT SUN SEP 24 2006 NYZ032-033-038>040-042-043-082-083-251100- NORTHERN HERKIMER-HAMILTON-SOUTHERN HERKIMER-SOUTHERN FULTON- MONTGOMERY-NORTHERN WARREN-NORTHERN WASHINGTON-NORTHERN FULTON- SOUTHEAST WARREN- 954 AM EDT SUN SEP 24 2006 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
