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 Jun 14, 3:22 PM EST, 1 hour 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 422 PM EDT SAT JUN 14 2008 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY AND EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION ACROSS EASTERN NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. A WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL SLIDE SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND SUNDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON MONDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE ALY FCST AREA AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT MOVING INTO WRN NY. THE WATER VAPOR LOOP WITH RUC OVERLAYED SHOWS SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING NORTHEAST OF KY INTO THE OH VALLEY. THE SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE ALL INDICATE A WEAK SFC CYCLONE FORMING ALONG THE SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY EARLY THIS EVENING PRODUCING A SWATHE OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PCPN. THE GUIDANCE IS HAVING TROUBLE RESOLVING EXACTLY WHERE TO PUT THE HEAVY PCPN. WE BELIEVE A BLEND OF THE NAM/GFS/CAN REGIONAL WOULD HAVE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL OCCUR FROM THE ERN CATSKILLS...CAPITAL DISTRICT AND SRN VT SOUTH AND EAST. BACKING UP...ENOUGH HEATING HAS OCCURRED FOR SOME STRONG TO ISOLD SEVERE TSRAS TO FORM IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND LITCHFIELD HILLS. 18Z LAPS SBCAPE ANALYSIS HAS 1500-3000 J/KG SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY. THE VIL OF THE DAY IS 58 KG/M2 OFF THE 12Z ALY SOUNDING. THE WIND FIELDS ARE VERY WEAK ALOFT WITH THE BEST DEEP SHEAR AROUND 20-25 KTS IN THE 0-6 KM. WE ARE IN A PULSE/QUASI PULSE ENVIRONMENT. A ROGUE SEVERE CELL OR TWO IS POSSIBLE WITH MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL AND GUSTY/DAMAGING WINDS. THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN IS THE GREATEST DUE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES /PWATS/ 2-3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS GREATER THAN NORMAL BASED ON THE SREFS AND GEFS. PWATS ARE IN THE 1.5-2.0 RANGE WHICH ARE 150-200% OF NORMAL. AFTER 00Z...A TRANSITION TO EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS...AND A STRATIFORM RAINSHIELD WILL LIKELY OCCUR. WE WILL MENTION RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...WITH ISOLD-SCT TSRAS OVERNIGHT. WE WENT A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN A NGM/AVNMOS BLEND WITH LOWS IN THE M50S TO L60S IN THE MTNS AND HILLS...AND L60S TO U60S IN THE VALLEYS. WE BELIEVE HIGH FFG VALUES IN THE 3-6 HR TIME RANGE VARYING FROM 3 TO 4.5 INCHES SHOULD PRECLUDE ANY WATCH AT THIS TIME. SEE THE HYDRO SECTION WITH MORE DETAILS. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... MAIN ISSUES THIS PERIOD WILL BE A PAIR OF WAVES THAT MOVE ACROSS THE REGION BRINGING POTENTIAL OF HEAVY RAIN. BOTH NAM AND GFS AGREE ON SURFACE WAVE MOVING SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND ON SUNDAY. GFS IS QUICKER TO MOVE RAINFALL OUT...GONE BY MORNING...WHILE GFS LINGERS INTO THE AFTERNOON. MAIN IMPACT FROM THIS STORM WILL BE FELT ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. A SOAKING RAIN IS LIKELY INTO THE MORNING HOURS FOR THE EASTERN PART OF THE CWA. MEANWHILE...TO THE WEST DRIER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. BY AFTERNOON...LOW PULLS AWAY AND CLEARING WORKS INTO THE REGION. GIVEN CLOUDS AND PRECIP...EXPECT LOWER TEMPERATURES FOR SOUTHERN/EASTERN AREAS. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR SUNDAY NIGHT OFFERING A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER. BY MONDAY...CUTOFF APPROACHES REGION. AGAIN GFS AND NAM SPIN UP ANOTHER WAVE AND TRACK IT ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA MONDAY NIGHT. BASED ON LOCAL RESEARCH WITH WARM SEASON CUTOFFS...POTENTIAL FOR SOME HEAVY RAIN FROM THIS SYSTEM. PREFERRED LOCATION FOR RAINFALL IS AS DEPICTED BY MODELS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF MAIN UPPER LOW. TRACK OF WAVE ALLOWS LOW LEVEL FLOW TO BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST BRINGING IN AMPLE ATLANTIC MOISTURE /PWS 1.5 INCHES PLUS/ WITH UPSLOPE FLOW INTO THE CATSKILLS. GIVEN THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PERIOD 5...AND POTENTIAL FOR CUTOFFS TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN...WILL NOT GO HIGHER THAN CHANCE POPS AT THIS POINT. WILL NOTE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL IN HWO. AS FAR AS SEVERE POTENTIAL GOES ON MONDAY...RIGHT NOW CHANCES LOOK TO BE LIMITED. CAPE IS ABOUT 500 TO 1000 J/KG...WITH LAPSE RATES MODEST A 6-6.5C/KM. ZERO TO 6KM SHEAR IS RESPECTABLE AT 35-40 KTS. AT THIS POINT...CONFIDENCE ON SEVERE CHANCES FOR MONDAY...NIGHT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN HWO. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO CUT OFF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD... AFTER THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL MEAN EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS THROUGH THE PERIOD...AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS EACH DAY...WITH IMPROVEMENT IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND AS THIS IS WHEN THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ITS MOVE OUT OF THE REGION. WITH SUNSHINE LACKING AND SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES RESULTING...HAVE LEFT MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS OUT...ALTHOUGH A RENEGADE TS IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE IN JUNE WHERE THE SUN MANAGES TO POKE THROUGH. WENT WITH HPC FIGURES...WHICH AVERAGES A FEW DEGREES MILDER FOR HIGHS THAN THE MEX GUIDANCE. LOW TEMPS ARE CLOSE. AS IS TYPICAL WITH CLOSED SYSTEMS...NO GREAT SURFACE WIND FLOW IS EXPECTED. && .AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... BKN MID LEVEL CLOUDS COVER MUCH OF THE REGION EARLY THIS AFTN AHEAD OF A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY BACK ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. SOME SHOWERS HAVE POPPED UP OVER THE REGION EARLY THIS AFTN...MAINLY OVER THE ELEVATED TERRAIN. WITH WEAK STEERING FLOW AND WEAK LARGE SCALE FORCING...MANY OF THESE PULSE SHOWERS ARE DEVELOPING AND DYING WITHIN A 30-40 MINUTE PERIOD. DESPITE THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER...THERE IS ENOUGH INSTABILITY /ABOUT 1000-2000 J/KG IN THE VALLEYS/ TO ALLOW A FEW ISOLATED T-STORMS TO DEVELOP. TO ACCOUNT FOR ALL OF THIS...HAVE INCLUDED A CB APPENDAGE AT ALL TERMINALS FOR THE MID TO LATE AFTN HOURS. ANY SHOWER/T-STORM CAN BRIEFLY REDUCE VSBYS TO MVFR AND EVEN IFR IF THE CORE OF A STORM PASSES OVER THE TERMINAL AND DROPS HEAVY RAINFALL...BUT THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS IS SMALL...SO ONLY DROP VSBYS TO MVFR...AS HAZE AND MIST WILL ALSO BE A FACTOR THIS AFTN. ANY T-STORM MAY ALSO HAVE A WIND GUST TO 30 KTS...BUT WOULD NOT EXPECT MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT...AS 12Z ALB SOUNDING SHOWS RATHER WEAK WINDS ALOFT...AND UPSTREAM 12Z BUF RAOB IS ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE IMPRESSIVE. SOME CLEARING MAY OCCUR ACROSS THE NORTH TONIGHT AS THE BOUNDARY TRIES TO CLEAR THE REGION...AND THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FOG TO DEVELOP IF ENOUGH LOW LEVEL CLEARING OCCURS...ALTHOUGH MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS SHOULD ALSO PREVENT WIDESPREAD IFR FOG FROM OCCURRING. A PERIOD OF SHOWERS IS POSSIBLE FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING FOR KALB AND ESP KPOU...AS A WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG THE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND MOVES NORTHWARD. THIS COULD DROP VSBYS AND EVEN CIGS TO HIGH END MVFR LEVELS FOR A TIME AS WELL...WITH CLEARING AFTER MIDDAY. OUTLOOK... SUN PM-EARLY MON...VFR...NO SIG WX. LATE MON...MAINLY VFR...WITH AREAS MVFR IN SCT SHWRS/TSTMS TUE-WED...MAINLY VFR...WITH MVFR...IN WDLY SCT SHWRS/TSTMS. && .FIRE WEATHER... A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER INTO THIS EVENING. A WET FLAG WAS RAISED FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF EASTERN NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL RECOVER TO 100 PERCENT TONIGHT...AND DROP TO 40 TO 60 PERCENT SUNDAY AFTERNOON. RAINFALL WILL AVERAGE BETWEEN HALF AND THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH...BUT SINCE SOME CONVECTION IS EXPECTED...AMOUNTS ARE LIKELY TO VARY WIDELY OVER SMALL AREAS. THE WINDS WILL BE SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AROUND 10 MPH TODAY...THEN SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST 5 TO 10 MPH TONIGHT FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. ON SUNDAY WINDS WILL BE NORTHWEST 10 TO 15 MPH. && .HYDROLOGY... WEAK MID LEVEL STEERING FLOW...COMBINED WITH PWS ON MORNING KALB SOUNDING OF 1.92 INCHES /2.5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL/ AND ONGOING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY POINT TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF URBAN AND SMALL STREAM ADVISORY TYPE FLOODING INTO TONIGHT WHERE STORMS DEVELOP. ADDITIONAL STORMS MOVING INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED FOR TRAINING OVER AREAS NOW RECEIVING HEAVY RAIN. SOME PONDING OF WATER IS LIKELY TO OCCUR ON ROADS AND PARKING AREAS DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER HEAVY DOWNPOURS...AND SHARP WITHIN-BANK RISES ON STREAMS ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL. OVER THE LARGER RIVERS BASIN-WIDE RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED TO AMOUNT TO ENOUGH TO CAUSE RIVERS TO RISE MORE THAN AN INCH OR TWO AS MOST OF THE RAIN WILL JUST SOAK INTO THE GROUND. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS THE AREA. FLOOD POTENTIAL FOR THIS SYSTEM WILL BE DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION FALLS TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY...AND LOCATION OF HEAVY RAINFALL ON MONDAY. AT THIS POINT...IT IS TOO EARLY TO MAKE ANY DEFINITIVE STATEMENTS ON FLOOD POTENTIAL. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NY...NONE. MA...NONE.
