The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A cold front located over the Great Lakes approached the region from the west late Monday, July 9th. A prefrontal trough well ahead of this front, in conjunction with a lake breeze boundary, and a hot, humid and unstable air mass in place, led to the rapid development of scattered strong to locally severe thunderstorms across portions of eastern New York State and western New England during the late afternoon and early evening hours of Monday.
In addition, some thunderstorms contained locally intense rainfall rates of 2 or more inches per hour. This led to localized flash flooding in urbanized areas.
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 Jul 9, 2:57 PM EST, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 357 PM EDT MON JUL 9 2007 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WELL OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST WILL PUMP A HOT AND HUMID AIRMASS INTO OUR REGION THROUGH TUESDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD ON TUESDAY...BEFORE BECOMING NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY...ACCOMPANIED BY MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...FOLLOWED BY MUCH COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS FOR LATER IN THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... AS OF 1940Z...ISOLATED SHOWERS/TSTMS JUST BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY INTO PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS. THESE SEEM TO BE COINCIDENT WITH DEWPOINT POOLING/LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE...POSSIBLY FROM RETREATING REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THIS MORNING/S MCS. EXPECT AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS TO INCREASE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...INCREASING MID LEVEL CAP MAY PREVENT LARGER-SCALE COVERAGE/INTENSITY SOMEWHAT. AT THIS TIME...INCLUDED CHC POPS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS...AND SLIGHT CHC TO THE S/E THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. ANY TSTMS THAT CAN PUNCH THROUGH THE MID LEVEL CAP MAY BECOME QUITE STRONG...POTENTIALLY TAPPING INTO STRONG MID LEVEL WIND FIELD...AND FURTHER ENHANCED BY INCREASINGLY DRY MID LEVELS...AIDING IN EVAPORATIONAL COOLING/DOWNDRAFT STRENGTH POTENTIAL. EXPECT SHOWERS/TSTMS TO DECREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AFTER MIDNIGHT. THEN...AREAS OF FOG WILL LIKELY DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE EVENING RAINFALL. FOR MINS...GENERALLY WENT CLOSE TO...OR A SHADE ABOVE THE MAV MOS NUMBERS. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... TUE...ANOTHER HOT AND HUMID DAY ON TAP...BUT MID LEVELS MAY BE A BIT WARMER THAN TODAY...LIMITING AREAL COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON/EVENING TSTMS. NEVERTHELESS...WILL INCLUDE SLIGHT CHC TO CHC POPS FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH HIGHEST ACROSS THE N. AS FOR MAX TEMPS...GENERALLY WENT CLOSE TO...OR JUST A SHADE LESS THAN THE MAV MOS...WHICH YIELDS 90-95 ACROSS MOST VALLEY LOCALES...WITH MID/UPPER 80S ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTH COUNTRY...AND CATSKILLS. THE COMBINATION OF THESE HIGH TEMPERATURES...ALONG WITH DEWPOINTS WITHIN THE 65-70 RANGE...SHOULD YIELD HEAT INDICES OF 95-99 ACROSS MOST AREAS...EXCEPT NEARING OR SLIGHTLY EXCEEDING 100 ACROSS SOME SOUTHERN AREAS. THESE VALUES ARE CLOSE TO HEAT ADVISORY RANGES...AND THUS...WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS POTENTIAL WITHIN THE UPDATED EVENING HWOALY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR HEAT INDICES REACHING OR SLIGHTLY EXCEEDING 100 DEGREES WOULD BE ACROSS VALLEY AREAS OF ULSTER/DUTCHESS COUNTIES...AND POSSIBLY SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD CO. TUE NT...WILL KEEP CHC POPS FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS...WITH BEST CHC THROUGH MIDNIGHT. OTHERWISE...ANOTHER WARM/MUGGY NIGHT...WITH LOWS MAINLY RANGING FROM THE 60S TO LOWER 70S. WED-WED NT....APPROACHING COLD FRONT LATER IN THE DAY SHOULD PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/TSTMS WED AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THUS...HAVE BUMPED POPS INTO THE LIKELY RANGE FOR LATE WED AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN AREAS...AND HIGH CHC ACROSS THE S/E. AS FOR MAXES...GENERALLY ACCEPTED THE WARMER MAV MOS NUMBERS. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... THU-THU NT...COLD FRONT SHOULD HAVE SHIFTED E OF REGION BY THU AFTERNOON...WITH SHOWERS/TSTMS EXITING REGION. WILL MAINTAIN CHC POPS IN THE MORNING...THEN NIL FOR THE AFTERNOON...EXCEPT SOME SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS...IN CASE SOME SHOWERS DEVELOP ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...WITH THE AID OF OROGRAPHIC LIFT/ADDED LAKE MOISTURE. OTHERWISE...EXPECT LESS HUMID CONDITIONS...WITH MAXES GENERALLY RANGING FROM THE LOWER 80S WITHIN THE VALLEYS...TO THE U 60S/70S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NORTH COUNTRY. FRI-FRI NT...WILL KEEP GENERALLY FAIR...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SLIGHT CHC POPS ACROSS THE CATSKILLS INTO THE NORTH COUNTRY FOR FRI AFTERNOON...IN CASE SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS DEVELOP WITH PASSING UPPER LEVEL COLD POOL...IN ADDITION TO OROGRAPHIC LIFT. FOR MAXES...WILL GENERALLY KEEP LOWER 80S FOR THE VALLEY REGIONS...AND MAINLY 70S ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY/HIGHER ELEVATIONS. SAT-MON...SEVERAL 00Z/09 DETERMINISTIC MODELS AND ENSEMBLE MEMBERS HINT AT A WAVE RIPPLING ALONG FRONT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...WITH BEST CHC FOR SUN-MON. AT THIS TIME...WILL ADD SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR SAT AFTERNOON...WITH CHC POPS FOR SUN-MON. FOR MAXES...WILL GENERALLY INDICATE AROUND 80 FOR THE VALLEY REGIONS...AND 70S ELSEWHERE. HOWEVER...SHOULD AFOREMENTIONED WAVE AND ACCOMPANYING WIDESPREAD RAINFALL COME TO FRUITION...MUCH COOLER MAXES MAY RESULT...MAINLY HOLDING IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S. && .AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 01Z. MAIN ISSUE WILL BE TIMING OF CONVECTION WHICH WILL RESULT IN BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS. THE MAIN AREA WITH THE BEST CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WILL BE FROM ALB AND POINTS NORTHWARD. AS WE LOSE SOME INSTABILITY TONIGHT...HAZY CONDITIONS DUE TO THE ABUNDANCE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COULD PROVIDE A 3-5 HOUR WINDOW OF IFR VISIBILITIES WITH SOME CU/SC FLOATING AROUND. THEN WE MIGHT SEE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE ON TUESDAY AS WE REMAIN WELL WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR WITH MVFR VISIBILITIES FROM HAZE AND THE CHANCE FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION AFTER 18Z TUESDAY. TUE PM...VFR/MVFR IN HAZE AND POTENTIAL FOR IFR IN CONVECTION. WED...MVFR/IFR WITH SCT-NUM CONVECTION EXPECTED. THU...VFR WITH NO SIG WX EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. FRI...MVFR CHC OF SHOWERS. SAT...VFR WITH NO SIG WX EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. && .FIRE WEATHER... WITH A HOT AND HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING AND THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS (MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING)...RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL AVERAGE DURING THE DAY BETWEEN 45 AND 55 PERCENT AND AT NIGHT BETWEEN 90 AND 100 PERCENT. WINDS WILL AVERAGE SOUTHERLY DURING THE DAY AROUND 10 MPH WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS AT NIGHT. THOSE WINDS WILL INCREASE ON WEDNESDAY AS A RATHER STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION WITH A HIGH PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL. && .HYDROLOGY... NO WIDESPREAD HYDRO PROBLEMS ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS (WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR CONVECT TRENDS THOUGH). MAIN STEM RIVERS CONTINUE TO HAVE NORMAL TO BELOW NORMAL FLOWS FOR EARLY JULY. RAINFALL FROM THIS MORNING RANGED FROM ON HALF OF INCH TO JUST SHY OF 1 INCH FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT NORTHWARD FROM THE MCS EARLY THIS MORNING. AFTER THAT...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION EXPECTED AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH WEDNESDAY. DURING THIS PERIOD...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL RISE TO 150-200% OF NORMAL...WHICH WILL ALLOW ANY THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH A QUICK INCH OR TWO IN LESS THAN 3 HOURS. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
