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 New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 2, 12:42 PM EST, 1 hour earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY 142 PM EDT SAT AUG 2 2008 .SYNOPSIS... AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE TRI-STATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVING OFFSHORE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION FROM SUNDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... UPDATED FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 791 THROUGH 6 PM FOR THE ENTIRE CWA. UPPED POPS TO 90 PCT CWA WIDE. WITH BRN OF 35-50 ACROSS CWA...HAVE POTENTIAL FOR MIXED MODES BOTH SUPER CELLS AND MULTI-CELLULAR. LOOKING AT 3KM EHI...THIS SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SUPER CELLS IS GREATEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND NORTHERN CONNECTICUT ZONES AS REGION GETS INTO LF QUAD OF 80KT POLAR JET...AND IS IN NOSE OF LOW LEVEL JET AS WELL. NOTING DEEP DRY LEVEL AT MID LEVELS ON 12Z SOUNDING SO POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...WITH A GREATER THAN NORMAL CHANCE OF 60+ MPH WINDS (AN 80+ MPH MICRO BURST WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME). BACKING FLOW AHEAD OF LOW...COUPLED WITH ISALLABARIC BACKING DUE TO PRESSURE FALLS AHEAD OF DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW...WILL HELP KEEP LOW LEVEL HELICITY AT LEVELS SUPPORTING POTENTIAL TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY WITH AN SUPER CELLS. WITH PWS PROGGED TO 1.5-1.75 INCHES LOCALIZED FLOODING POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY WITH TRAINING OF CELLS. MINOR CHANGES MADE TO REMAINDER OF FORECAST IN NEAR TERM. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... BASE OF ANOMALOUSLY STRONG UPPER LOW PIVOTS THRU AREA SUN INTO SUN NIGHT...AND EAST ON MON. WOULD EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCT INSTABILITY SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT DUE TO VORT ENERGY ROUNDING BASE OF TROUGH...RESIDUAL LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND STEEP LAPSE RATES. BEST CHANCE ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES...CLOSER TO UPPER LOW COLD POOL. HIGH TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONABLE (LOWER 80S NORTHERN ZONES/ MID 80S CITY/COAST) AS 850 HPA TEMPS WILL BE AROUND 13/14C AND WITH PLENTY OF INSTABILITY CU DEVELOPMENT. SKIES CLEAR OUT SUN NIGHT AS TROUGH AXIS MOVES ACROSS...WITH DEEP NW FLOW IN ITS WAKE. TEMPS SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONABLE IN CANADIAN AIRMASS. STACKED LOW SLOWLY MOVES INTO GULF OF MAINE ON MON...WITH CONTINUED DEEP NW FLOW. SEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN MODIFYING CANADIAN AIRMASS. ONE MORE SHORTWAVE ROUNDING BASE OF DEPARTING LOW COULD HAVE INSTABILITY CU AND ISOLATED SHRA DEVELOPING ACROSS N AND E ZONES MON AFTERNOON. MOSTLY SUNNY AS ONE WORKS FURTHER SW. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... HEIGHTS WILL RISE ON TUE AS TROUGH MOVES EAST AND THE RIDGE OVER THE PLAINS AND SE TRIES TO BUILD INTO THE NORTHEAST...BUT A VORTEX OVER HUDSON BAY WILL CAUSE A SQUEEZE PLAY OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE NORTHEAST WITH THE FLOW FLATTENING. THIS WILL RESULT IN ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK...BUT THE EXTREME HEAT WILL REMAIN CONFINED TO THE OHIO VALLEY...MID ATLANTIC AND SE. BY THU...THE RIDGE OVER THE SE BREAKS DOWN AND THE VORTEX SLIDES SE INTO SE CANADA WITH MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES RETURNING. DRY THROUGH TUE NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE. WARM FRONT PASSES NW OF THE AREA ON WED. CANT RULE OUT A SHOWER OR TSTM MAKING IT INTO WESTERN PARTS OF THE AREA SO HAVE SCHC POPS. UNSETTLED WX LIKELY CONTINUES THROUGH THU AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES WED NIGHT AND MOVES THROUGH SLOWLY...POSSIBLY STALLING OUT JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... CLUSTER OF SHOWERS/TSTMS MOVING EAST ACROSS MUCH OF LI/SRN CT... THEN NEED TO TURN ATTENTION TO ANY ADDITIONAL TSTM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...AND INTO THIS EVENING. AIRMASS PRIMED FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT...AND WITH FAVORABLE CONDITIONS IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...COULD ONCE AGAIN OBSERVE MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS...WITH ISOLATED LIFR IN HEAVIER TSTMS. OTHERWISE...LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND FLOW...TO WEST/SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING...THEN NORTHWEST AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE PASSES EAST. AS CONVECTION WINDS DOWN THIS EVENING...A FEW LOCATIONS COULD OBSERVE SOME FOG...WITH MVFR POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE...SKIES CLEAR A BIT WITH VFR THROUGHOUT. I DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY STRATUS AT THIS TIME. BY SUNDAY MORNING...NORTHWEST WINDS BACK SLIGHTLY TO THE WEST AT AROUND 10 KTS. VFR THROUGH THE MORNING. OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... ANY ISOLATED TSTM POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH UPPER LOW OVERHEAD. SUB-VFR POSSIBLE. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. NEXT SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE COULD RESULT IN SUB VFR TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. && .MARINE... ONLY CHANGES WITH MORNING UPDATE WAS TO MODIFY PRECIP WORDING/TIMING AND REFLECT WATCH BOX OVER ALL WATERS. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... WINDS/SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA ON AREA WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH SEAS GENERALLY 2-3 FT ON THE OCEAN AND 1 FT OR LESS ON THE SOUND/HARBOR/BACK BAYS. LOW PRES WILL DEVELOP ALONG A NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND...AND THAT WAVE WILL TRACK THROUGH THE WATERS LATER TODAY. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN SWING THROUGH THE WATERS THIS EVENING. CONVECTION WILL BE DEVELOPING ON THE WATERS...PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN...STRONG WINDS AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A WATERSPOUT. CONDITIONS DRY OUT TONIGHT AS HIGH PRES BUILDS OVER THE AREA. WITH LOW PRES REMAINING IN THE GULF OF MAINE...ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE SUN AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. SEAS COULD APPROACH SCA LEVELS ON THE OCEAN LATE WED NIGHT/THU UNDER A STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY FLOW. WITH ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDE FALLING SLIGHTLY FOR THIS EVENING HIGH TIDE...EXPECTING MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IN SOUTH SHORE BACK BAYS TO BE ISOLATED AND MARGINAL AT BEST. && .HYDROLOGY... FRONTAL SYSTEM AFFECTS REGION TODAY INTO THIS EVENING...WITH POTENTIAL FOR BETWEEN ONE-HALF AND ONE INCH OF RAINFALL TODAY. LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS WITH LOW CHANCE OF URBAN FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE WHERE CELLS TRAIN...MOST LIKELY IN VICINITY OF WARM FRONT. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NY...NONE.
