The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A thunderstorm developed over the high terrain of Windham County late Thursday afternoon, September 1st. The storm remained nearly stationary for about 2 hours as it was hung up on the terrain. The storm produced very heavy rainfall with a small area of 6 to 8 inches estimated over Rawsonville which produced flash flooding.
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 Sep 1, 5:15 PM EST, 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 615 PM EDT THU SEP 1 2011 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL LIFT TO THE EAST THIS EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL REBUILD BACK FROM THE GULF OF MAINE TO BRING A DRY DAY ON FRIDAY WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. THIS HIGH WILL MOVE FURTHER EAST BRING A SOUTHERLY FLOW OF MUCH WARMER AND MORE HUMID WEATHER FOR THE START OF THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... AS OF 550 PM...RAINFALL ESTIMATED IN NORTH CENTRAL WINDHAM COUNTY NOW EXCEED 4 INCHES! STORM STILL NOT MOVING AT THIS TIME. AS OF 530 PM...HAD TO UPDATE AS ONE ROGUE THUNDERSTORM WITH TORRENTIAL RAINFALL HAS DEVELOPED IN EXTREME NORTHERN BENNINGTON COUNTY AS WELL AS NORTHERN WINDHAM COUNTY AND IS "LOCKED" TO THE TERRAIN. THE WIND FIELD IS VERY LIGHT THROUGH ABOUT 20000 FEET. RADAR ESTIMATES WELL OVER TWO INCHES OF RAIN HAS ALREADY FALLEN IN THIS AREA...PROMPTING A TWO-HOUR FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR THIS AREA. TRIED TO REFLECT THIS UPDATE IN OUR SHORT TERM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. OTHER SHOWERS NOT NEARLY AS HEAVY AND GENERALLY MOVING. SHOULD NOT PRODUCE ANY PROBLEMS. **********PREVIOUS NEAR TERM FORECAST*************** AS OF 430 PM...FOLLOWING A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND YES EVEN THUNDERSTORMS. ADDED THUNDERSTORMS BACK TO THE GRIDS AND APPARENTLY ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE THEM. THESE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE WHICH WILL WORK ON BY TO OUR SOUTHEAST BY LATER THIS EVENING. BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS LOOK TO BE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. SOME OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD PRODUCE VERY LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN...MAYBE UP TO AN INCH. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE SATURATED GROUND BUT AGAIN WE ARE TALKING VERY LOCALIZED. AFTER THE SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH...PARTIAL (BUT PERHAPS NOT TOTAL CLEARING WILL TAKE PLACE). LOOKS LIKE SOME MCS DEBRIS WILL WORK OVER. FOR NOW...DUE TO SOME LINGERING CLOUDINESS...A LITTLE BREEZE...AND THE FACT THAT SHOWERS SHOULD BE NOT WIDESPREAD...DECIDED NOT TO PLACE PATCHY FOG IN THE GRIDS OVERNIGHT. WITH THE CLOUDS AND PERHAPS A LITTLE BREEZE...WENT SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN BOTH MOS PRODUCTS OVERNIGHT LOWS. LOOK FOR LOWS IN THE LOWER 60S IN THE CAPITAL REGION...55-60 ELSEWHERE. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... ON FRIDAY HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR EAST WILL ACTUALLY NOSE BACK TO THE WEST TOWARDS OUR AREA. HOWEVER DUE TO THE HIGH BEING RELATIVELY WEAK AND H10-H5 RH REMAINING RELATIVELY HIGH EXPECT VARIABLE CLOUDS WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S. THE 18Z NAM NOW INDICATES ONCE AGAIN...A POSSIBLE MCS...MAINLY FOR OUR NORTHERN AREA. STILL THINK ANY MCS WOULD STAY MAINLY NORTH OF OUR REGION BUT INCREASE POPS TO CHANCES IN OUR NORTHERN AREA AS THE UPPER JET STRUCTURE LOOKS TO STAY MAINLY NORTH AS DOES A SURFACE COLD FRONT. WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM FURTHER SOUTH IN RESPONSE TO WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT...BUT NOT LOOKING FOR ANY ORGANIZED MESO-SCALE SYSTEM (MCS) TO DEVELOP. IF AN MCS WERE TO DEVELOP...IT COULD HEAVY RAINFALL. ON SATURDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE TO OUR SOUTHEAST AND WITH A RIDGE ALOFT. H850 TEMPERATURES LOOK TO WARM TO BETWEEN +17C TO +19C. WITH HAZY SUNSHINE IT LOOKS TO GET QUITE WARM AND HUMID WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S FROM THE HUDSON VALLEY SOUTHWARD....80-85 HIGHER TERRAIN. A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH DURING THE MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON SO WILL CERTAINLY KEEP CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS GOING AS THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF SBCAPE (AROUND 1000 J/KG OR MORE). HOWEVER...THE MAIN FORCING LOOKS TO REMAIN WITH THE STRONGER COLD FRONT AS THE FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN PARALLEL TO FRONT (ANA-FRONT). OFTEN TIMES...THE AIR MASS TO THE SOUTH OF THE ANA-FRONT IS CAPPED. PWATS DO REACH AROUND 1.5 INCHES...SO ANY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN HEAVY RAIN. THE FLOW WILL BE RATHER WEAK SO THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE SLOW MOVING. THIS WILL BE MENTIONED IN OUR HWO PRODUCT. ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MIGHT TEND TO WIND DOWN LATER ON SATURDAY NIGHT AS WE LOOSE THE HEATING OF THE DAY AND THE PRE-FRONTAL THROUGH MOVES SOUTH AND DISSIPATES. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... THE REAL COLD FRONT LOOKS TO APPROACH THE REGION ON SUNDAY...SLOWLY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY INCREASE RIGHT AHEAD OR ALONG THIS FRONT. THEY MIGHT NOT BREAK OUT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AREAS UNTIL VERY LATE IN THE DAY. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WE WILL HAVE ONE MORE VERY WARM AND HUMID DAY...ESPECIALLY FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTHWARD. TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN REACH WELL INTO THE 80S IN THESE AREAS...POSSIBLY APPROACHING 90 IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY. FURTHER NORTH...WITH THE CLOUDS AND THUNDERSTORMS COMING IN EARLIER...HIGHS WILL BE CONFINED TO THE 70S. INSTABILITY WILL REACH AS HIGH AS 1500-3000 J/KG AND UNLIKE SATURDAY...THE WIND FIELD WILL INCREASE. ALSO...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES LOOK TO STEEPEN TO ABOUT 6.5 C/KM. THEREFORE...WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A MARGINAL SEVERE WEATHER EVENT...WITH THE THREAT FROM BOTH STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. WE WILL BE MONITORING THIS SITUATION AS THE TIME NEARS. THEN...IT APPEARS THE FRONT WILL STALL SOMEWHERE BETWEEN OUR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ZONES SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. BOTH THE EUROPEAN AND ESPECIALLY 12Z GFS SUGGEST A WAVE DEVELOPS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE COULD BRING A PERIOD OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS OR EVEN A SOAKING RAIN ACROSS THIS REGION...NOT GOOD NEWS. MORE ABOUT THIS WILL BE FOUND IN HYDROLOGY SECTION. THIS WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MIGHT NOT EXIT UNTIL LATE LABOR DAY MAKING IT POSSIBLY A WET ONE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE A BIT COOLER THAN SUNDAY...MAINLY 60S NORTH AND WEST OF ALBANY...70S TO AROUND 80 SOUTH. DRIER AND COOLER AIR LOOKS TO MOVE AFTER LABOR DAY WITH TEMPERATURES DIPPING A BIT BELOW NORMAL COME TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. A SOUTHERN DISTURBANCE HAS TO BE WATCHED...TO SEE IF IT MOVES FURTHER NORTH BUT FOR NOW...MOST GUIDANCE SUGGEST IT WILL STAY JUST SOUTH OF OUR REGION THROUGH THURSDAY FOR NOW. && .AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 610 PM...THREW IN A TWO HOUR MVFR PERIOD AT KALB SINCE SHOWERS HAVE SATURATED THE LOWER PORTIONS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. MIGHT HAVE TO RETHINK FOG POSSIBILITIES NOW WITH THE WET GROUND...WILL ADDRESS THESE WITH THE 00Z ISSUANCE OF THE TAFS. *******PREVIOUS AVIATION DISCUSSION********** A WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY APPROACH FROM WESTERN NY AND PA TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING AT ALL THE TAF SITES. A FEW SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVE ACROSS UPSTATE NY INTO NEW ENGLAND INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. WE PLACED SOME VCSH GROUPS AT KGFL AND KALB PRIOR TO 02Z. SOME MVFR VSBYS AT KALB TO KPOU ARE POSSIBLE AFTER 06Z WITH SKIES BEGINNING TO CLEAR AND THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASING. WE HAVE HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE ONCE AGAIN ON ANY STRATUS FORMATION. KGFL HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF IFR VSBYS/CIGS WITH INCREASING MOISTURE IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND POSSIBLE CLEARING. ANY MIST OR FOG SHOULD DISSIPATE QUICKLY AFTER 12Z WITH SOME SCT CUMULUS AROUND...AND VFR CONDITIONS RETURNING. S/SE WINDS OF 5-10 KTS WILL BECOME LIGHT TO CALM TONIGHT...AND INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH AT 5-10 KTS TOMORROW. OUTLOOK... FRI PM-NIGHT...VFR...NO SIG WX. SAT-SUN...VFR/MVFR...CHC -SHRA/-TSRA. MON...MVFR...SHRAS LIKELY EARLY. TUE...VFR...NO SIG WX. && .FIRE WEATHER... THERE WILL BE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING. SOME OF THIS COULD CONTAIN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL BUT MOST AREAS WILL NOT RECEIVE MEASURABLE RAIN. DRY WEATHER OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY. RH VALUES LOOK TO BE NEAR 100 PERCENT TONIGHT AND DROP TO AROUND 50 PERCENT. THE WIND WILL BE LIGHT OR SOUTH 10 MPH OR LESS. RH VALUES NEAR 100 PERCENT OVERNIGHT FRIDAY. WARMER AND MORE HUMID SATURDAY WITH SCATTERED SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. AGAIN SOME AREAS MIGHT GET LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...WITH MOST AREAS NOT RECEIVING ANY RAINFALL. INCREASING THREAT FOR WET WEATHER AS WE HEAD SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... FOR ONGOING FLOODS...PLEASE REFER TO FLOOD WARNINGS AND STATEMENTS FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION. RIVERS AND STREAMS WILL CONTINUE TO RECEDE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WE DO HAVE SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING. THEN DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND...WIDELY SCATTERED BY SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. SOME AREAS COULD RECEIVE OVER AN OF RAINFALL WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING...GIVEN THE WET GROUND. AGAIN...ANY HYDRO PROBLEMS ON SATURDAY WOULD BE VERY LOCALIZED AND SHOULD NOT INVOLVE THE MAIN STREAMS AND RIVERS. SUNDAY COULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY. MORE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AND AGAIN THESE COULD CONTAIN HEAVY RAINFALL. THEN...A SOAKING RAIN IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WHICH COULD PRODUCE AN INCH OR TWO OF RAINFALL...AND COULD BE ENOUGH TO CAUSE MORE SIGNIFICANT RISES ON RIVERS AND STREAMS. STAY TUNED FOR ANY FLASH FLOOD WATCHES OR FLOOD WATCHES THAT MIGHT BE ISSUED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NY...NONE. MA...NONE.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS THE ADIRONDACK PARK EASTWARD TO THE UPPER HUDSON VALLEY. THESE COULD CONTAIN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THERE IS A CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY FROM ALBANY NORTHWARD ON SATURDAY. THESE WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND COULD CONTAIN VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS A STRONG COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVES SOUTH FROM CANADA INTO THE REGION. THIS FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS OUR REGION AND ALLOW A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIKELY BRING SHOWERS OR A SOAKING RAINFALL IS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...WHICH COULD PRODUCE AN INCH OR TWO OF RAINFALL. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
