The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A warm and moist air mass remained in place over the region on June 30th. At the surface, a weak stationary front was draped across the area. During the afternoon hours, a weak upper level disturbance moved across the region. This allowed some showers and thunderstorms to develop in the vicinity of the surface front. With the moist air mass in place, these showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rainfall. With the ground already saturated due to several weeks of wet weather, this led to flash flooding in northwestern parts of Litchfield County. Showers and thunderstorms waned by evening as the disturbance moved east.
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 30, 3:17 PM EST, 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
417 PM EDT SUN JUN 30 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
AN ELONGATED TROUGH IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND A
DIFFUSE STATIONARY FRONT REMAIN ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. WEAK UPPER
IMPULSES SHOULD RIDE UP ALONG IT TO PRODUCE BOUTS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN INTO THIS EVENING. SLIGHTLY STRONGER IMPULSES
LOOK TO BRING MORE IN THE WAY OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MONDAY AND
TUESDAY WHICH COULD CONTAIN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH
TIME...THIS TROUGH WILL ACTUALLY MOVE WEST AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN WHICH SHOULD SUPPRESS CONVECTION A
LITTLE.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
...FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED...
COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING IN AREAS ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT TO THE MA/VT BORDER AND SOME
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE UNTIL THIS EVENING WHEN CURRENT
ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE. NOT ADDRESSING THE CURRENT SCATTERED
FLASH FLOODING IN FLASH FLOOD WATCH THAT GOES INTO EFFECT TOMORROW
MORNING TO AVOID CONFUSION OF A SHORT FUSE WATCH FOR A FEW HOURS
AND SEPARATE WATCH BEGINNING TOMORROW MORNING. PLEASE SEE FFAALY
FOR THE DETAILS. AGAIN...CURRENT MORE ISOLATED/SCATTERED FLASH
FLOOD POTENTIAL SHOULD END THIS EVENING...AND THE MORE WIDESPREAD
ORGANIZED THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING SHOULD BEGIN TOMORROW MORNING.
LOWS TONIGHT IN THE 60S TO AROUND 70.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER OF HIGH PWATS HAS BEEN IN PLACE JUST OFFSHORE
FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND WILL BE DRIFTING NORTHWEST OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS UPPER RIDGING IN THE ATLANTIC
STRENGTHENS AND BUILDS INTO OUR REGION. SATELLITE BLENDED
TOTAL PWAT AND PERCENT OF NORMAL PWAT SHOWS SUPER SATURATED RIVER
OF AIR JUST OFFSHORE. UPPER ENERGY ON THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. SHOULD
TRACK NORTH AND NORTHEAST...ALONG WITH UPPER JET DIVERGENCE AND
GRADUAL CONVERGENCE BETWEEN NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY IN CANADA AND
THE BUILDING ATLANTIC RIDGE. THIS SQUEEZING OF THE MOISTURE LADEN
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER SHOULD INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR A WIDESPREAD
HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE REGION...WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION PRODUCING
AREAS OF POTENTIAL FLASH FLOODING.
INCREASING CONSENSUS FROM GUIDANCE AND ENSEMBLES FOR PWAT IN THE
2-3 SD ABOVE NORMAL RANGE...ALTHOUGH THE BEST LOW LEVEL JET
CONVERGENCE COULD BE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE REGION...THERE SHOULD
BE SOME CONVERGENCE IN A BROAD NORTHERN EDGE OF LOW LEVEL JET
ENERGY. THERE SHOULD BE SOME DIRECTIONAL CONVERGENCE WHERE WINDS
COULD BE TURNING IN PROXIMITY TO A LOW LEVEL TROUGH OR LOW
PRESSURE CENTER OVER EASTERN AND CENTRAL NY.
ALL THIS ADDS UP TO MORE RAIN IN OUR AREA WHERE SOILS ARE ALREADY
SATURATED SO THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE CLOSELY MONITORED.
FLOODING SHOULD NOT HAPPEN EVERYWHERE BUT LOCALIZED FLOODING COULD
BE QUITE THREATENING...AGAIN LOCALIZED...SO ALL INTERESTS SHOULD
KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST FORECASTS AS WE GRADUALLY ZERO IN ON AREAS
WITH THE GREATEST THREATS.
TEMPERATURES WITH ALL THE WET WEATHER SHOULD BE IN THE 70S TO
AROUND 80 MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WITH A FEW DEGREES WARMER ON
WEDNESDAY WITH SOME POTENTIAL BREAKING UP OF THE CLOUDS. LOWS EACH
NIGHT IN THE 60S TO AROUND 70.
IN REFERENCE TO THE BEAVER DAM FAILURE IN SCHOHARIE COUNTY...SEE
FLASH FLOOD STATEMENTS FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY. MODEL
GUIDANCE INDICATING THERE WILL BE THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
THIS IS IN PART DUE TO THE CLASHING OF THE HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE
ATLANTIC AND THE TROUGH OVER THE MID WEST. THIS WILL CREATE A
CHANCE OF CONVECTION EACH DAY WITH HEATING AND INSTABILITY. EACH
DAY WILL NOT BE A WASH OUT BY ANY MEANS. WITH THE DAY TIME
HEATING...THERE IS A CHANCE TO POP SHOWERS AND OR THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE PEAK HEATING HOURS.
POPS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE FURTHER WESTWARD. THE CENTER OF THE HIGH SHOULD
REACH A POSITION JUST OFF THE EAST COAST.
HIGHS DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.
BY THE WEEKEND...THERE IS A CHANCE OF BREAKING 90 AS THE HIGH MOVES
FURTHER WESTWARD. LOWS WILL BE GENERALLY BE IN THE 60S.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON
BEFORE A RETURN TO MVFR CONDITIONS AS RAIN OVERSPREADS TAF SITES BY
MONDAY MORNING.
THIS AFTERNOON...EXCEPT FOR MVFR FLYING CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL TAF
SITES. DUE TO SCATTERED NATURE OF CONVECTION...HAVE GONE WITH VCSH
AT THIS TIME AND WILL AMEND AS NEEDED.
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY...LATE TONIGHT A MORE ORGANIZED AREA OF SHOWERS
WILL SPREAD FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL
IMPULSE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. EXPECT ALL TAF SITES TO BECOME
MVFR BY 12Z MONDAY. DEPENDING ON THE INTENSITY ON THE SHOWERS TAF
SITES MAY EVEN DROP TO IFR LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD BUT CONFIDENCE IN
THAT SCENARIO IS LOW AT THIS TIME.
SURFACE WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST TODAY AT 8 KTS OR
LESS...THEN LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT AND BECOMING SOUTHERLY
GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KNOTS MONDAY.
OUTLOOK...
MON-FRI...VFR/MVFR. CHC -SHRA/-TSRA. POSSIBLE LATE NIGHT AND OR
EARLY MORNING FOG/LOW STRATUS WITH MVFR/IFR.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
NO FIRE WEATHER ISSUES AT THIS TIME DUE TO PERSISTENT WET
CONDITIONS.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BECOME MORE NUMEROUS
ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. SOME OF THESE COULD CONTAIN HEAVY
RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
THE RH WILL REMAIN ELEVATED...NEARLY 100 PERCENT EVERY
NIGHT...DROPPING TO NO LOWER THAN 50-75 PERCENT EACH AFTERNOON.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
PLEASE REFER TO FLOOD WARNINGS FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON THE
FLOODING IN AND AROUND THE MOHAWK RIVER...AND THE BEAVER DAM
FAILURE IN SCHOHARIE COUNTY.
TWO MID LEVEL DISTURBANCES SHOULD BRING A MORE WIDESPREAD ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE AVERAGE RIVER BASIN FORECASTS RANGING FROM 1 TO
3 INCHES WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN THE EASTERN CATSKILLS
NORTHEAST THROUGH WESTERN NEW ENGLAND AND LESS IN THE WESTERN
MOHAWK VALLEY AND SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS. HOWEVER...IT IS A GOOD
BET THERE WILL BE A GREAT DEAL OF VARIATION OF RAINFALL AMOUNTS
THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME. ANY TRAINING OR BACKBUILDING
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WET GROUND COULD CAUSE PONDING OF WATER OR
EVEN LOCALIZED FLOODING ANY TIME THROUGH TUESDAY WITH THE CHANCES
INCREASING THROUGH THE PERIOD. LOCALLY HEAVIER RAINFALL COULD
EXCEED 4 INCHES THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD.
THIS RAINFALL COULD NOT ONLY BRING FLASH FLOODING BUT COULD CAUSE
RISES ON SOME MAJOR STEM RIVERS.
THERE STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON A
SCATTERED BASIS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY BUT HEAVY RAINFALL ON THESE
DAYS SHOULD BE MUCH MORE LOCALIZED.
