An upper level low pressure system moved slowly northeast from central Pennsylvania into east central New York State during Monday, August 11th. The upper level dynamics of this system, combined with abundant low level moisture, and significant instability led to the development of numerous, slow moving thunderstorm clusters during Monday afternoon.

The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
An upper level low pressure system moved slowly northeast from central Pennsylvania into east central New York State during Monday, August 11th. The upper level dynamics of this system, combined with abundant low level moisture, and significant instability led to the development of numerous, slow moving thunderstorm clusters during Monday afternoon.
Locally very heavy rainfall resulted in flash flooding across portions of western Massachusetts Monday afternoon.
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 Aug 11, 2:17 PM EST, 2 hours 28 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
317 PM EDT MON AUG 11 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
THE UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS AS A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO SPIN OVER THE NORTH EAST. THIS
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING THE THREAT OF RAIN ALONG WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...FALL LIKE TEMPERATURE TODAY
WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS AND RAIN WITH LOW PRESSURE ALOFT AND
AT THE SURFACE. LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST TONIGHT. RAIN HEAVY AT TIMES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL
ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. PLEASE SEE THE LATEST
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR FURTHER DETAILS. IT SHOULD MAINLY BE A HYDRO
EVENT BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE HAIL WITH
ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR HAIL. WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES
ALOFT WILL ALLOW FOR THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE HAIL THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...LOW
PRESSURE WILL START TO MOVE EAST TONIGHT. THIS SHOULD SHIFT THE
AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN NORTH AND EAST OF THE REGION. WILL REDUCE POPS
AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. QPF VALUES SHOULD DROP CONSIDERABLY AS THE
LOW START TO SHIFT EASTWARD OVERNIGHT. WILL KEEP LOW CHANCES OF
POPS TONIGHT AND KEEP TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.
TUESDAY...THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AXIS MOVES EASTWARD...BUT WILL
INCLUDE LOW POPS DUE TO THE WRAP AROUND FLOW OF THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. BEST AREAS OF PRECIPITATION LOOK TO BE AREAS EAST OF THE
HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. BY TUESDAY NIGHT...THE LOW MOVES FAR ENOUGH
EAST THAT WILL ONLY INCLUDE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST.
THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS ANOTHER WAVE DROPS INTO THE REGION BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. AGAIN THE TREND IS FOR TEMPERATURES TO STAY
BELOW NORMAL ON TUESDAY.
WEDNESDAY...THERE WILL BE A BRIEF DRY PERIOD WEDNESDAY MORNING AS WE
ARE BETWEEN SYSTEMS. WILL ONLY INCLUDE SLIGHT POPS ACROSS THE
WESTERN ZONES EARLY THEN BRING IN CHANCE POPS LATER IN THE DAY AS
THE ANOTHER WAVE DROPS DOWN INTO THE REGION. BOTTOM LINE THE FIRST
HALF OF WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE RELATIVELY DRY WITH INCREASING
CLOUDINESS AND THE THREAT FOR RAIN BY LATE IN THE DAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...THE UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL
CONTINUE FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW TAKES
ITS TIME TO MOVE OUT OF THE REGION. THE PATTERN SHOULD START TO
IMPROVE TOWARDS THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
STARTS TO BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THIS WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL CONDITIONS TOWARDS THE
END OF THE PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES ITS PLAGUE UPON THE NORTHEAST.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE CIRCULATING COUNTERCLOCKWISE ACROSS
THE REGION AROUND THE LOW...WITH THE TRACKS OVER OUR CWA AVERAGING
TOWARD NORTHWEST. TAFS INCLUDE VCTS OR VCSH FOR FIRST 4 HOURS...
WITH A TEMPO FOR -TSRA...-SHRA AT GFL. PREVAILING VFR/MVFR WITH
TEMPO TO MVFR CIGS/IFR VSBY. AFTER 00Z MVFR PREVAILING WITH SHOWERS
CONTINUING...THOUGH GFL DOWN TO IFR VSBY. WENT WITH VFR LAST SIX
HOURS OF TAF ALTHOUGH WITH VCSH AS RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE TUE WILL
BE A MARKED IMPROVEMENT OVER TODAY. HOWEVER...TIMING IS EVERYTHING
WITH THIS NEARLY MOTIONLESS SYSTEM...AND MODELS CAN ALSO CHANGE
THEIR MINDS.
WITH THE UPPER LOW FINALLY STARTING TO EXIT NORTHEAST TONIGHT...
ANOTHER LOW DIGS DOWN BEHIND IT. HOWEVER...THIS ONE DOESNT QUITE
MAKE IT AS FAR SOUTH AS NYS BEFORE IT BREAKS DOWN AT THE END OF THE
WEEK. THE RESULT WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF THE UNSETTLED CONDITIONS
OF THE PAST FEW DAYS...BUT WITH LESS FEROCITY AND A MORE NORTHWARD
FOCUS...THEN FINALLY A MARKED IMPROVEMENT AT THE END OF THE WEEK.
OUTLOOK...
LATE TUE-EARLY WED...VFR...CHC OF AN ISOLD DAYTIME -SHRA/-TSRA.
NIGHTTIME MVFR/IFR FOG POSSIBLE.
LATE WED-EARLY FRI...VFR...CHC -SHRA GFL AND ALB. NIGHTTIME
MVFR/IFR FOG STILL POSSIBLE.
LATE FRI-EARLY SAT ...VFR...CHC DAYTIME MVFR -SHRA/-TSRA. NIGHTTIME
MVFR FOG STILL POSSIBLE.
LATE SAT...VFR...NO WX.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK JUST SOUTH OF
THE REGION AND KEEP WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WILL
CONTINUE WET FLAG CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY. THE
LOW WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST OF THE REGION LATE TUESDAY...ALTHOUGH
LINGERING SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. &&
.HYDROLOGY...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AS A 500
HPA CUTOFF LOW MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. RAINFALL HAS VARIED A GREAT
DEAL AS IS USUAL WITH CONVECTION...WITH SOME SPOTS GETTING OVER 3
INCHES. SO FAR GAGED RIVERS HAVE SHOWN ONLY MODEST INCREASES IN
FLOW. AS OF MID AFTERNOON THE METTAWEE...WALLOOMSAC...AND HOOSIC
RIVER HAVE HAD RISES OF A LITTLE MORE THAN A FOOT. 0.5 TO 1.5 INCHES
OF ADDITIONAL RAIN ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MIDDAY
TUESDAY WITH SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS WHERE THUNDERSTORMS FOLLOW ONE
ANOTHER. TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE FLOODING OF ROADS
AND PARKING AREAS AND SHARP RISES TO NEAR BANK FULL ON STREAMS. THE
LARGER RIVERS SHOULD REMAIN WELL WITHIN THEIR BANKS.
