The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
An area of low pressure moved eastward along a stalled frontal boundary over the New York City Metropolitan area on Friday July 8th. There was enough instability over the Capital District and Schoharie Valley for thunderstorms to develop to the north of the main area of precipitation. Some storms became severe and produced damaging in the Capital District. Saratoga County was the hardest hit with numerous power outages, especially on the town line of Malta and Saratoga Springs. Across the Schoharie Valley, the storms were relatively slow moving and produced very heavy rainfall resulting in flash flooding.
A boat was reported capsized on Saratoga Lake around 1700 EST due to a gust from a thunderstorm. The state police, the Saratoga County Sheriff's Department and the Arvin Heart division of the Stillwater Fire Company responded and reported no injuries.

NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 8, 1:10 PM EST, 2 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 210 PM EDT FRI JUL 8 2011 .SYNOPSIS... LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG A STALLED FRONT THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THIS AFTERNOON AND SLIDE OFFSHORE TONIGHT. A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM HUDSONS BAY INTO THE NORTHEAST FOR THE WEEKEND....SLIDING OFFSHORE SUNDAY. SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...ITS RETURN FLOW WILL RESULT IN WARMER AND MORE HUMID CONDITIONS OVER THE REGION. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 205 PM EDT...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 610 ISSUED FOR ULSTER...DUTCHESS...AND LITCHFIELD COUNTIES UNTIL 9 PM EDT. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. A SHORT- WAVE IN THE W/SW FLOW NORTH OF THE SFC CYCLONE MOVING ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION MAY PRODUCE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SRN EXTREME OF THE ALY FCST AREA. ENHANCED WORDING WAS ADDED TO THE GRIDS AND ZONES. PREVIOUS NEAR TERM... AS OF 130 PM EDT...CLOUDS HAVE PERSISTED OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA...LIMITING INSTABILITY AND HEATING. HIGH CLOUDS STARING TO BLANKET EAST CENTRAL NY AND ADJACENT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. GREATER INSTABILITY LOCATED S AND W...WITH LAPS SHOWING CAPE VALUES OF 15+ KJ/KG. ISO TO SCT TS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AS STATIONARY FRONT CONTINUES TO STRECH OVER THE S NEW ENGLAND COAST AND TRI STATE AREA. LOW PRESSURE WILL RIDE ALONG THIS FRONT...ALLOWING FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. WINDS AND SMALL HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN ISOLATED TS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE LOW AND STATIONARY FRONT TRANSITION TO THE EAST...CLOUDS WILL DECREASE TOWARDS SATURDAY MORNING. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... FOR THE MOST PART THIS PERIOD FEATURES AGREEMENT ACROSS THE GUIDANCE SUITE (GEM/GFS/NAM) AS 500HPA TROF QUICKLY EJECTS FROM NEW ENGLAND INTO MARITIMES SATURDAY...AND RIDGING AT 500HPA BUILDS FM OHIO VALLEY INTO ONTARIO AND WEST QUEBEC. THIS ALLOWS A LARGE SFC HIGH TO BUILD FM HUDSON'S BAY INTO GRTLKS RGN THEN SPREAD EAST FOR THE WEEKEND. BY SUNDAY HIGH HAS SPLIT INTO A WARMER SOUTHERN CENTER OVER NY/NEW ENG AND ANOTHER WELL NORTH IN CANADA. AS SUCH THE VERY HOT AND HUMID AIR REMAINS JUST TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE SFC HIGH CENTER IN THE MIDWEST. WHILE THE SFC HIGH'S ORIGINS ARE CANADIAN ITS JULY AND WE ARE UNDER THE CENTER OR TO ITS SOUTH AND TEMPS FOR THE WEEKEND SHOULD BE CLOSE TO OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMS WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S AND LOWS IN THE 50S. SOME SLIGHTLY LOWER VALUES EXPECTED OVER HIGHER TRRN MAINLY ADRNDKS. BY SUN AFTN THE SFC HIGH CENTER IS EAST OF RGN AND RETURN FLOW IS INCRG TEMPS AND MOISTURE. THE NAM PRODUCES MORE MID CLOUDS IN THIS WARM ADVECTION BUT NONE OF THE MODELS ARE RAISING THREAT OF PCPN ON EAST SIDE OF 500HPA RIDGE. SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY THE SFC HIGH HAS SLID OFFSHORE AS THE MID LEVEL RIDGING CRESTS OVER REGION. THIS ALLOWS THE MARITIME TROPICAL AIR TO SURGE INTO REGION. HWVR ALL CURRENT GUIDANCE SLOWS THE CDFNT SLOWER THAN PVS RUNS DID...AS IT ONLY REACHES MICHIGAN BY MON EVENING. WHILE GFS CONVECTIVE SCHEME IS PRODUCING AFTN QPF OVER REGION MON...MODEL ITSELF IS ONLY PRODUCING CAPES OF 800-1200. MODEL SOUNDINGS FM SAME MODEL AT AVN POINTS HAVE EVEN LOWER CAPES. IF ANY CONVECTION FIRES IT WILL BE ALONG A PREFRONTAL TROF OR THETA-E RIDGE THAT BUILDS INTO THE REGION. BEST CHANCES WILL BE LATE AFTN OR EVENING. CDFNT PUSHES INTO RGN MONDAY NIGHT...MOVING EAST OF RGN EARLY TUESDAY. THE THREAT OF -SHRA OR TSTMS CONTINUES MONDAY NIGHT...BUT WITH LITTLE DYNAMIC SUPPORT AND AREA BEING IN UNFAVORABLE RIGHT EXIT REGION OF JET...FRONTAL LIFT AND INSTABILITY IN WARM AIR MASS THAT IS LARGELY DIURNALLY DRIVEN IS ABOUT ALL WE GOT TO WORK WITH. SO WILL CARRY CHC POPS LATE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. IF THE MODELS PERSIST WITH THIS THINKING POPS MAY DROP OFF QUICKLY MONDAY EVENING. IT WILL BE VRY WARM MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPS APPROACHING 90 AND TD UPPER 60S TO NR 70 MONDAY AND TEMPS ONLY SLOWLY FALLING BACK TO UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S MON NIGHT. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... THERE'S AN UNUSUAL DEGREE OF AGREEMENT IN DAYS 5-8 IN CMC/GFS/ECMWF AS 500HPA TROF SHARPENS OVER NE USA AND SE CANADA ALLOWING CDFNT TO SWEEP SOUTH THROUGH REGION TUESDAY. CAA DOMINATES THE EFP AS RATHER MASSIVE CANADIAN SFC HIGH BUILDS FM ONTARIO INTO THE GRTLKS. THIS HIGH SHIFTS ONLY SLOWLY EAST FOR REST OF EFP...KEEPING VERY DRY AIR MASS OVER FCA. IT WILL FEATURE BRIGHT SUNSHINE PARTICULARLY WED AND THU AND BLO NORMAL TEMPS. MOST OF GUID KEEP CHC -SHRA IN FCST AREA INTO MIDDAY TUESDAY AFTER THAT SUBSIDENCE DOMINATES WITH MAINLY CLEAR TO PC SKIES. TEMPS TUES WILL REMAIN NR OR ABV NORMALS AS WARM AIR IS SLOWLY DISPLACED TO THE SOUTH...BUT BY WED MUCH COOLER LESS HUMID AIR HAS ADVECTED INTO REGION WITH HIGH TEMPS IN 70S AND LOWS IN UPPER 40S AND 50S AS THE RULE. DEW POINTS WILL HEAD TWRD 50 MAKING FOR A VERY COMFORTABLE PERIOD TEMP WISE. BY END OF EFP THIS SFC HIGH SLIDES OFF THE ATLC SEABOARD...SETTING STAGE FOR THE RETURN OVER VERY WARM AND HUMID AIR. GIVEN AGREEMENT AMONG GUIDANCE SUITE WILL POPULATE EFP WITH NEW GMOS AND MAKE ONLY MINOR MODIFICATIONS. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTH OF EAST- CENTRAL NY WITH ISOLD-SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. A COLD FRONT...AND ITS ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR THE WEEKEND. VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FROM KALB NORTHWARD TO KGFL WITH THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BTWN 19Z-01Z. BRIEF LAPSES TO MVFR LEVELS OR LOWER COULD OCCUR WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS. STRATUS CONTINUES TO LINGER NEAR KPOU WITH OCCASIONAL MVFR CIGS. THE BEST CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM WILL BE NEAR KPOU IN THE LATE PM INTO THE EARLY EVENING. A TEMPO GROUP WAS USED THERE. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL END PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH WITH SOME CLEARING NEAR KGFL. THE ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WITH LIGHT TO CALM WINDS WILL ALLOW SOME IFR/LIFR LOW STRATUS/MIST TO FORM. ELSEWHERE...SOME PATCHY MVFR/VFR LIGHT MIST IS POSSIBLE. DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN BTWN 11Z-13Z WITH VFR CONDITIONS RETURNING. THE WINDS WILL BE VARIABLE AT LESS THAN 10 KNOTS PRIOR TO 00Z...WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS MAINLY FROM KALB NORTH.
