The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
The combination of a weakening cold front approaching from the west, and an unstable air mass in place, led to the development of isolated thunderstorms across portions of eastern New York during Thursday evening June 25th.
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 25, 7:02 PM EST, 44 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 802 PM EDT THU JUN 25 2009 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK COLD FRONT...WHICH WAS JUST WEST OF LAKE ONTARIO...WILL MOVE TOWARD OUR REGION TONIGHT...AND SLOWLY CROSS OUR REGION OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... CONVECTION TRACKING THROUGH SCHOHARIE VALLEY INTO THE CATSKILLS IS THE PRIMARY THREAT FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...SO CANCELING THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE MOHAWK RIVER. SOME COOLING AND STABLIZING BEGINNING TO TAKE PLACE...AND CONVECTION SLOWLY WEAKENING. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... CLUSTER OF STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION CONTINUES TO TRACK SE THROUGH WESTERN NY...AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK ALONG THE NY/PA BORDER..PERHAPS THROUGH PARTS OF THE CATSKILLS THIS EVENING. STEERING FLOW SEEN IN MORNING UPPER AIR DATA AND CURRENT AREA RADAR VWP WIND DATA SHOWS CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHEAST INTO THIS EVENING. HIGHER DEW POINTS ADVECTING EAST ALONG WITH THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE. SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION SEEN IN ADIRONDACKS NOW...AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS DIFFUSE DEW POINT BOUNDARY...ESPECIALLY INITIATING IN AREAS OF TERRAIN. AS MID LEVEL AND UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM APPROACH...AS WELL AS A WEAK COLD FRONT...STEERING FLOW WILL TURN MORE WEST AND WEST-SOUTHWEST LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. CONVECTION IN GREAT LAKES BEGINNING TO DEVELOP...AND SHOULD BECOME MORE SOLID WITH THE INCREASED LOW LEVEL FORCING ALONG THE WEAK COLD FRONT...THEN TRACK EAST...REACHING OUR WESTERN AREAS AROUND MIDNIGHT. SCATTERED CONVECTION SHOULD TRACK EAST RESULTING IN SCATTERED CONVECTION OVER THE ENTIRE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...EXITING AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. WORDING SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS INTO FORECAST DUE TO THE CURRENT MODE OF CONVECTION...AND LOW LEVEL THERMAL/DEW POINT RIDGE IN THE AREA OVERNIGHT. LOWS TONIGHT IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/... STRENGTHENING UPPER IMPULSE TRACKS OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES...AND COOLING AT THE BOUNDARY LAYER TIGHTENS THE BOUNDARY LAYER THERMAL GRADIENT...CONTRIBUTING TO ENOUGH FRONTOGENESIS TO INITIATE NEW CONVECTION IN THE CATSKILLS...TO SOUTHERN CAPITAL DISTRICT AREA TO NORTHERN BERKSHIRES AND POINTS SOUTH. SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION IN THE TERRAIN OF THE ADIRONDACKS AND GREEN MOUNTAINS AS WELL WITH SOME LINGERING INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE. DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE OF CONVECTIVE DEBRIS...HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 80S...COOLER IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS. SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO LIGHT NORTHWEST DURING THE DAY...WHICH SUGGESTS AT LEAST SOME SUNSHINE PERIODS DURING THE DAY. SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...SO WORDING SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS FOR NOW. CONVECTION LINGERS IN SOUTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS DURING THE EVENING. BOUNDARY LAYER WIND SHIFT AND BETTER BOUNDARY LAYER COOLING TRACKS THROUGH THE REGION LATER FRIDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY...WITH CONTINUED SCATTERED CONVECTION. HOWEVER...WITH THE WEST BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW TURNING TO NORTH AND NORTHWEST...SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS FRIDAY NIGHT...AND PERIODS OF CLOUDS AND SUN SATURDAY. HIGHS SATURDAY IN THE 80S...COOLER AGAIN IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS. SOME SHORT WAVE UPPER RIDGING AHEAD OF THE NEXT DEVELOPING UPPER LOW APPROACHING FROM THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES LATER SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. SO...LESSENING COVERAGE TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AT BEST LATER SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 50S TO 60S. APPROACHING UPPER LOW BRINGS MORE CLOUDS AND INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS SUNDAY...BUT AGAIN...SOME PERIODS OF CLOUDS AND SUN WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REACH THE 70S TO LOWER 80S. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... THE EXTENDED FCST FEATURES A VERY SHOWERY AND UNSETTLED PATTERN WITH A PAIR OF CUTOFF LOWS IMPACTING THE FORECAST AREA. CSTAR RESEARCH ON WARM SEASON CUTOFF LOWS HAVE SHOWN THESE FEATURES TO BE VERY PESKY AND TROUBLESOME IN TERMS OF GETTING THE SENSIBLE WEATHER RIGHT. THE FIRST H500 CUTOFF/CLOSED CIRCULATION SHIFTS EASTWARD OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST SUNDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...ANOTHER CUTOFF LOW MOVES INTO THE WRN-NRN GREAT LAKES REGION MONDAY MORNING BASED ON THE GFS/CAN GGEM/ECMWF/GEFS MONDAY MORNING. THIS LOOKS POTENTIALLY TO BE A CLASSIC GREAT LAKES CUTOFF LOW FROM THE CSTAR RESEARCH...WHERE IT SLOWLY CHURNS E/SE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION...AND INTO THE UPPER MID ATLANTIC REGION INTO THE MID WEEK. MONDAY SHOULD START OUT FAIRLY DRY...BUT THE FIRST IMPULSE TIED TO THE CUTOFF...AND THE OCCLUDED BOUNDARY IN CONNECTION TO THE DOWNSTREAM ONE COULD TRIGGER SOME PM SHOWERS. THE GFS DOESN/T PROG TOO MUCH INSTABILITY...WE KEPT THUNDER OUT FOR NOW. TUESDAY THRU WEDNESDAY...EACH DAY A VORT MAX ROTATING AROUND THE CUTOFF WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FCST AREA. THE GFS HAS LIFTED INDICES OF -1 TO -3C TUE PM...AND -1C TO -5C ON WED OVER THE BULK OF THE FCST AREA. THE SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY EACH DAY IS IN THE 500-1000 J/KG RANGE...AND THE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE NOT SUPER STEEP YET /AROUND 6C/KM/ DESPITE THE COLD POOL ALOFT. IT IS DAYS 5 AND 6...SO THESE MAY BE UNDERDONE A LITTLE THAT FAR OUT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. THE CONVECTION WILL BE TIED TO THE DIURNAL HEATING...SO WE KEPT THE THUNDER CHANCES IN THE GRIDS NOON TO MIDNIGHT. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE RUNNING A BIT HIGH IN THE 1-1.5 INCH RANGE...SO SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH THESE PWATS ABOUT A STANDARD DEVIATION ABOVE NORMAL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THURSDAY...THERE WILL STILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH THE CUTOFF LOW LIKELY SOMEWHERE OVER NY/PA...POTENTIALLY LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO NRN NEW ENGLAND AND SOUTHERN QUEBEC. HOWEVER...ANOTHER DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE LONGWAVE TROUGH UPSTREAM...MAY KEEP THE UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH THE ENTIRE WORK WEEK. OVERALL...TEMPS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL WITH GENERALLY H850 VALUES OF 10-12C WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S TO L80S...AND LOWS IN THE 50S TO L60S ACROSS THE FCST AREA. PCPN DUE TO THE CUTOFF LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL. && .AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 23Z/THU...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS/TSTMS. HOWEVER...ISOLATED MVFR/IFR VSBYS HAVE BEEN NOTED WITHIN TSTMS. OVER THE NEXT 1-3 HOURS...WE EXPECT THE CLUSTER OF SHOWERS/TSTMS ENTERING WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN...AND CONTINUE MOVING ESE. THIS MAY BRING AT LEAST SOME MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS...PERHAPS ACCOMPANIED BY SOME THUNDER...TO KALB...AND KPOU. THESE SHOWERS/TSTMS SHOULD REMAIN S OF KGFL BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS. ONCE THIS WEAKENING CLUSTER OF SHOWERS/STORMS MOVES S/E OF REGION...ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE LATER TONIGHT...ESP TOWARD DAYBREAK FRI...TO THE N OF APPROACHING WARM FRONT...AND E OF THE COLD FRONT. THIS...IN COMBINATION WITH ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...SHOULD LEAD TO AT LEAST MVFR VSBYS/CIGS AFTER MIDNIGHT...ALONG WITH SOME CHANCE OF IFR VSBYS. FOR FRI...ADDITIONAL ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS ARE EXPECTED...ESP THROUGH MIDDAY AT KGFL AND KALB...AND POSSIBLY UNTIL MID TO LATE AFTERNOON AT KPOU...WHERE FROPA WILL OCCUR A BIT LATER. WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE SE TO S OVERNIGHT AT LESS THAN 8 KT...ALTHOUGH LOCALLY STRONGER WIND GUSTS AND VARIATIONS IN DIRECTION ARE POSSIBLE NEAR AND WITHIN ANY TSTMS. FOR FRI...WINDS WILL BECOME SW...THEN SHIFT INTO THE W TO NW BY AFTERNOON IN THE WAKE OF COLD FRONT...AT 8-12 KT. AGAIN...STRONGER GUSTS AND VARIATIONS IN DIRECTION ARE EXPECTED IN AND NEAR TSTMS. FRI...VFR/MVFR. CHC TSRAS...ESPECIALLY NEAR KPOU. SAT-TUE...VFR/MVFR...SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS. && .FIRE WEATHER... WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS EXPECTED TOMORROW AND SATURDAY. THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL INCREASE THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT AND THROUGH TOMORROW. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATER ON TOMORROW. THE WIND TODAY WILL BE LIGHT SOUTHERLY TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW...TURNING WEST TO NORTHWEST 5-15 MPH BY LATE FRIDAY. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT NORTHWEST TOMORROW NIGHT...AND NORTH TO NORTHWEST AT 10 TO 20 MPH SATURDAY. RH VALUES WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 100 PERCENT TONIGHT AND DROP ONLY TO ABOUT 40-55 PERCENT TOMORROW. H VALUES WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 100 PERCENT AGAIN TOMORROW TONIGHT AND DROP ONLY TO ABOUT 50 TO 70 PERCENT SATURDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION OVERNIGHT...FIRST AFFECTING AREAS MAINLY FROM ALBANY N AND W...THEN SPREADING TO AREAS NEAR AND S/E OF ALBANY BY FRI MORNING...AND LINGERING INTO THE EARLY/MID AFTERNOON HOURS. SOME OF THESE TSTMS MAY PRODUCE LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL...WHICH COULD LEAD TO MINOR FLOODING WITHIN LOW LYING...POOR DRAINAGE AND URBAN AREAS. OTHERWISE...ALTHOUGH MINOR RISES ARE POSSIBLE ON LARGER STEM RIVERS...WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE SIGNIFICANT RISES AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...SHOULD ANY TSTM CLUSTERS DEVELOP AND TRAIN ACROSS ANY PARTICULAR AREA...MORE SIGNIFICANT RISES COULD OCCUR. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE WEEKEND AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW REMAINS NEARBY.
