The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A complex and powerful low pressure system moved across the region bringing damaging winds and widespread heavy rainfall. A low pressure system originating in the Deep South approached the region from the southwest during the day as a strong cold front approached from the Great Lakes region. These systems merged and moved across the northeastern United States. Moisture was transported into the region on a very strong low level jet. Rainfall totals ranged from just over an inch up to around 7 inches, with the highest amounts in the eastern Catskills. This heavy rainfall in a short period of time produced flash flooding over portions of the area. Despite instability being very limited, the winds field was so strong aloft that showers and low-topped thunderstorms were able to transport strong, damaging winds to the surface, producing widespread damage to trees and power lines.
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.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
936 AM EDT TUE SEP 18 2012
.SYNOPSIS...
A POWERFUL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE REGION TODAY AND
TONIGHT WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS...A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAINFALL
AND A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE
WEST WEDNESDAY AND DOMINATE OUR WEATHER INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 930 AM RAIN HAS OVERSPREAD THE REGION. VAD WINDS ARE 40KTS
OFF THE DECK. STILL NOT MIXING DOWN MUCH YET. RAISED POPS ALL
AREAS CATEGORICAL. MINOR CHANGES TO TEMPS...BUT PVS FCSTRS AFD
AND FCST PACKAGE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH NO OTHER CHANGES
THE STORM SYSTEM IS TAKING SHAPE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AS SOUTHERN
STREAM ENERGY IS INTERACTING WITH THE POTENT UPPER TROUGH OVER THE
GREAT LAKES REGION. THE SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN AS IT MOVES
NORTHEASTWARD PASSING OVER WESTERN NEW YORK THIS AFTERNOON AND
HEADING ACROSS EASTERN CANADA TONIGHT. THE SYSTEM'S COLD FRONT
WILL BE SWEPT ACROSS THE FORECAST THIS EVENING.
MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A VERY IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL JET WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AT 850 MB...50 TO 80
KNOTS AND AT 925 MB...30 TO 55 KNOTS. THE SAME CONCERN CONTINUES HOW
MUCH OF THIS WIND CAN REACH THE SURFACE. WILL HAVE A WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL OCCURRING ACROSS THE AREA BY THE TIME THE JET STRENGTHENS.
DID HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO UPGRADE THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO WARNING
(FOR GUSTS 58+ MPH) FOR OUR FAVORABLE AREAS FOR STRONGER WIND GUSTS
WITH A SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW: TACONICS...BERKSHIRES... LITCHFIELD
HILLS AND HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTHERN VERMONT. AS FOR THE REST OF THE
FORECAST AREA WENT WITH A WIND ADVISORY (GUSTS 46 TO 57 MPH) WHICH
WAS WELL COLLABORATED WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES.
THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER EXPANDED THEIR SLIGHT RISK OUTLOOK FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTHWARD ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA. AGAIN THE
SAME CONCERNS CONTINUE LACK OF EXPECTED INSTABILITY (WITH ONGOING
RAINFALL) BUT WILL HAVE A VERY STRONG WIND FIELD. A NARROW LINE OF
CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WHICH COULD HELP
TRANSFER STRONGER WINDS TO THE SURFACE. HAVE A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS IN FORECAST BEGINNING AT 20Z INTO THE EVENING WITH
ENHANCED WORDING GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL.
RAIN SHIELD ADVANCING NORTHEASTWARD AND OVERSPREADING THE AREA.
REFER TO THE HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR DETAILS ABOUT EXPECTED
RAINFALL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ON WEDNESDAY. INITIALLY
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE RATHER TIGHT RESULTING IN BRISK AND
GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. HOWEVER AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND THE
HIGH TAKES HOLD WINDS WILL DIMINISH. THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH
WILL MOVE QUICKLY OVER THE AREA TONIGHT AND OFF TO OUR NORTHEAST
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH THE RIDGE EXTENDING SOUTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE REGION.
IT WILL FEEL CHILLY WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM
THE MID 50S TO UPPER 60S. IT WILL BE COLD WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT AND VARIABLE TO CALM WINDS CREATING
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR FROST ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOME OF THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS.
HAVE MENTION IN OUR HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE SOME ON THURSDAY. IT SHOULD FEEL WARMER
WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND SOUTHERLY WINDS.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE EXTENDED BEGINS FAIR AND DRY WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL TO
OPEN THE WEEKEND...THEN A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL BRING SOME
SHOWERS TO THE REGION LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY. AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE NORTHEAST INTO MONDAY WITH A
SLIGHT CHC OF SHOWERS PERSISTING.
AFTER A COOL START FRIDAY MORNING...TEMPS WILL RISE FROM THE 40S AND
U30S...WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE ANCHORED OVER NRN NEW ENGLAND AND THE
EAST COAST. A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE APPROACHING FROM
ONTARIO...THE GREAT LAKES REGION...AND THE MIDWEST. A LOW LEVEL
S/SW FLOW WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO MODERATE BACK INTO THE LOWER TO M70S
IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...AND M60S TO ABOUT 70F OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. H850 TEMPS WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL IN THE +8C TO +10C
RANGE.
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...A LONGWAVE TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG E/SE
TOWARDS THE EAST COAST WITH A COLD FRONT CREEPING CLOSER. THE TREND
WITH THE GFS/ECMWF/ENSEMBLES IS FOR THE DRY WX TO LAST INTO
SATURDAY. AUTUMN WILL OPEN WITH A SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE OF
SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON WITH THE APPROACHING FRONT.
THIS FRONT WILL NOT MAKE A GOOD CONNECTION WITH THE GULF OF
MEXICO...SO THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND CONVERGENCE ARE NOT THAT
GREAT. LOWS WILL BE ABOVE AVG IN THE M40S TO M50S...WITH HIGHS IN
THE M60S TO M70S OVER THE FCST AREA.
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...THE FRONT SLOWLY CHURNS
EASTWARD...BUT A SHORT-WAVE MAY IMPACT THE FCST AREA IN THE SW
FLOW...AND A WEAK SFC WAVE MAY RIDE THE BOUNDARY KEEPING A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST TO CLOSE THE WEEKEND. THE ECMWF STILL SHOWS
THIS POTENTIAL SCENARIO. THE GFS KEEPS IT DRIER ON SUNDAY WITH
SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. FOR NOW...WE KEPT A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS IN THE FCST. TEMPS WILL COOL BACK TO SEASONAL READINGS IN
THE U50S OVER THE MTNS TO LOWER TO M60S ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA.
SUNDAY NIGHT TO MONDAY...CHILLY CYCLONIC FLOW CONTINUES ALOFT WITH
THE THREAT OF INSTABILITY SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES OVER THE FCST AREA.
MONDAY DOESN/T APPEAR TO BE A WASHOUT...BUT A SLIGHT CHC OF SHOWERS
WAS INCLUDED NORTH AND WEST OF THE MID HUDSON VALLEY. TEMPS WILL BE
SIMILAR TO SUNDAY.
OVERALL...TEMPS WILL AVERAGE NEAR NORMAL FOR THE LONG TERM WITH PCPN
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE ERN NY AND WRN NEW ENGLAND
TAF SITES TODAY INTO THIS EVENING WITH HEAVY RAINFALL AND STRONG
WINDS. AREAS OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AND LLWS WILL OCCUR LATE THIS
MORNING AND INTO EARLY THIS EVENING.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL ERODE TO MVFR/IFR LEVELS...AS A STRATIFORM
RAIN SHIELD IMPACTS KPOU/KALB/KPSF/KGFL FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST 12Z-14Z. WE HAVE TRIED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS TREND IN THE
TAFS.
WIND SHEAR INCREASES IN THE 11Z-16Z TIME FRAME...AS THE 2000 FT
AGL WINDS INCREASE TO 40-55 KTS. LLWS WIND SHEAR WAS USED AT ALL
THE TAF SITES IN THE LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE BEST
CHANCES FOR THE WINDS ALOFT TO MIX TO THE GROUND WOULD BE
ALBANY...SO THERE WE HAVE CARRIED PREVAILING GUSTS TO 30-35 KTS
STARTING AT 19Z. AT THE OTHER 3 TAF SITES...WE CARRY 20-25KT
GUSTS. THE S/SE WINDS WILL RANGE FROM 10-20 KTS AT THE SFC AT ALL
THE SITES IN THE AFTERNOON.
THE RAIN WILL LIKELY PRODUCE LOW MVFR/IFR CIGS AND VSBYS DURING THE
AFTERNOON. THE BEST CHC OF A THUNDERSTORM WITH THE SHEAR AND SMALL AMOUNT
OF INSTABILITY WILL BE AT KPOU. WE PLACED A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS THERE AT 22Z/TUE WITH THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY APPROACHING
THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. ANY CONVECTION COULD PRODUCE WIND GUSTS
IN EXCESS OF 40 KTS. THE FRONT WILL LIKELY CLEAR THE REGION BTWN
02Z-05Z/WED.
CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY INCREASE TO MVFR LEVELS BTWN 06Z-12Z/WED.
EXPECT LINGERING IFR LEVELS AT KGFL AND KPSF.
THE WINDS WILL VEER TO THE W/SW AROUND 00Z-04Z/WED...AND BE IN THE
10-20 KTS RANGE WITH GUSTS 25-30 KTS...AS THE FRONT PASSES
THROUGH.
OUTLOOK...
WED...MVFR TO VFR. -SHRA MAINLY IN THE MORNING.
WED NIGHT-FRI...VFR. NO SIG WX.
SAT...VFR. CHC OF MVFR CIGS IN THE PM WITH SLIGHT CHC-CHC OF
-SHRAS.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A POWERFUL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE REGION TODAY AND
TONIGHT WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS...A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAINFALL
AND A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE
WEST WEDNESDAY AND DOMINATE OUR WEATHER INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING A SOAKING RAINFALL TO THE
ALBANY HYDRO SERVICE AREA /HSA/. WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS NOT
EXPECTED DUE TO TH DRY ANTECEDENT SOIL CONDITIONS BEFORE THIS
EVENT...AND THE LOW FLOWS FOR MID SEPT.
1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL ARE EXPECTED TODAY INTO TONIGHT. SOME
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS AROUND 4 INCHES MAY OCCUR ALONG THE E/SE
SLOPES OF THE MTNS. A STRONG S/SE LOW LEVEL JET WILL TRANSPORT
LARGE AMOUNTS OF GULF MOISTURE INTO THE HSA...WHICH WILL BE
OROGRAPHICALLY ENHANCED OFF THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...EASTERN
CATSKILLS...SOUTHERN GREENS...BERKSHIRES...AND LITCHFIELD HILLS.
RESERVOIRS REMAIN ANOMALOUSLY LOW FOR MID SEPT...AND THE RAINFALL
WILL BE VERY BENEFICIAL MOVING INTO THE COOL SEASON. THIS IS A
STARK CONTRAST TO LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME. FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED
ON THE MAIN STEM RIVERS DUE TO THE DRY ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS...AND
THE ZONAL FLASH FLOOD VALUES REMAINING HIGH /APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4
INCHES IN 6-HOURS/.
THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RAINFALL
RATES AT TIMES IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. PONDING OF
WATER ON ROADWAYS...AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING OF LOW-LYING AREAS
MAY BE POSSIBLE.
THE SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL DWINDLE WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND DRY
WEATHER WILL RETURN THROUGH FRIDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN LOOKS
LIKE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY WITH GENERALLY LIGHT AMOUNTS OF QPF.
