The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
The region remained in a warm and humid air mass as an upper level ridge remained just south and east across the western Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, a weak upper level disturbance passed by to the north across southern Canada. This upper level disturbance allowed showers and thunderstorms to develop across the region during the afternoon and early evening hours of Monday, June 24th. With a moist and unstable atmosphere in place, some of these storms became severe, with large hail and damaging wind gusts. Thunderstorms dissipated by later in the evening, as the disturbance moved east of the region and the atmosphere stabilized.
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 24, 3:59 PM EST, 9 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 459 PM EDT MON JUN 24 2013 .SYNOPSIS... WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. MORE PERSISTENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED LATER IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS A SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IMPACTS THE REGION. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... AS OF 400 PM EDT...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION WAS SLOWLY MOVING ACROSS THE LOCAL REGION. SEVERAL CELLS HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE SBCAPES OF 3-4K J/KG PER LATEST LAPS AND SPC MESOSCALE WINDOW. VWP WIND MAGNITUDES WERE LESS THAN 20KTS ALONG WITH PWATS AVERAGING AROUND 1.75" /AROUND 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR/ RESULTING IN EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES. EXPERIENTIAL REFLECTIVITY FORECASTS SUGGEST THESE CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS WILL SUBSIDE TOWARD 03Z. 1KM VISIBLE IMAGERY REVEALS MAINLY CLEAR SKIES WEST OF I81 AS THIS TREND IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...WITH WET GROUND THE EXPECTATION OF RADIATIONAL FOG TO FORM AND WILL CONTINUE THE MENTION IN LOWER VALLEY LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN RATHER MILD AND MUGGY WITH LOWS HOLDING MAINLY INTO THE 60S. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... H2O VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS UPSTREAM CONDITIONAL FLOWS ARE RATHER ZONAL AS THE MAIN UPPER LOW TRACKS ACROSS SOUTHERN JAMES BAY AND TOWARD NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY MORNING. ANY MORNING FOG WILL QUICKLY BURN OFF WITH SOME BREAKS OF SUNSHINE IN THE MORNING. HOWEVER...UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS WILL LIKELY FILTER OUT THE SUNSHINE AS SKIES BECOMING INCREASING CLOUD COVER. LATEST MODEL OUTPUT SUGGEST A DIFFUSE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLIDE SOUTHWARD AND BRING THE NEXT CHANCE FOR CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. PWATS REMAIN ANOMALOUSLY HIGH SO THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED. SEVERE POTENTIAL APPEARS MINIMAL AT THIS TIME AS SPC KEEPS OUR REGION OUT OF THE SLIGHT RISK AT THIS TIME. BUT IF ENOUGH INSOLATION WHERE TO OCCUR...MODIFIED SOUNDINGS SUGGEST SBCAPES WILL REACH TO BETWEEN 2-3K J/KG FOR AN ISOLATED WIND/HAIL EVENT. HIGHS TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL RANGE INTO THE 80S WITH NEAR 90F IN THE MID AND LOWER HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. TUESDAY NIGHT...THERE REMAINS SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO THE PASSAGE OF THE SURFACE TROUGH AND UPPER LEVEL PV ANOMALY. LATEST 18Z/NAM THAT ARRIVED SEEMS TO BE IN CLOSER AGREEMENT WITH THE CANADIAN/ECMWF WITH A SLOWER DEPARTURE OF THESE AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES THAN COMPARED TO THE GFS. THUS WE WILL KEEP POPS THROUGH MOST OF THE EVENING HOURS WITH A SLOWER REDUCTION TO THE POPS OVERNIGHT. AS THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...WE WILL ALSO REMOVE THE MENTION OF THUNDER FROM THE GRIDS/FORECAST. WEDNESDAY...WE JUST MIGHT FIND OURSELVES IN A REGION OF SUBSIDENCE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST-NORTHWEST BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT THAT HIGH TO FULLY REMOVE POPS FROM THE FORECAST. HOWEVER...WE WILL PLACE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA AND SCATTERED POPS FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION AS THE SURFACE TROUGH MAY BE A LITTLE SLOWER TO DEPART. AS SOME ADDITIONAL SUNSHINE IS EXPECTED...H850 TEMPS STILL INTO THE MID- UPR TEENS...HIGHS SHOULD CLIMB BACK WELL INTO THE 80S FOR VALLEY LOCATIONS. WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE FORECAST BECOMES RATHER INTERESTING AND POTENTIALLY ACTIVE. THE PROGRESSIVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE INTER-MOUNTAIN WEST WILL EXIT ONTO THE PLAINS. THE DOWNSTREAM IMPACT WILL BE THAT SURFACE TROUGH TO RETURN NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT. THE LOW LEVEL JET ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO NEAR 40KTS WITH ELEVATED CONVECTION EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP AND BEGIN TO TRACK TOWARD WESTERN/CENTRAL NY. AS WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...WE WILL RETAIN THE CHANCE POPS OVERNIGHT OVER THE CATSKILLS...WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND DACKS. LOW TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN WELL INTO THE 60S. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... THERE IS AN INCREASING THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL FOR THE REGION THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD. PER THE CSTAR RESEARCH OF UPPER LOWS IN THE WARM SEASON...THE POSITION OF THE UPPER LOW IN THE VICINITY OF THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY WITH SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE HEADING NORTHWARD COULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL ON ALREADY SATURATED SOILS. THE INITIAL THRUST OF WARM ADVECTION ARRIVES ON THURSDAY AS OUR REGION MAY BECOME WELL ENTRENCHED IN THE WARM SECTOR. INCREASING LOW LEVEL WINDS...SURFACE FOCI...DAYTIME HEATING AND SBCAPES IN EXCESS OF 2K J/KG COULD PLACE OUR REGION INTO A SEVERE THREAT. HELICITES ARE PROGED TO BE IN EXCESS OF 200 M2/S2 /ESPECIALLY IF THE WARM FRONT REMAINS IN THE VICINITY OF THE REGION/ SO CAN NOT RULE OUT ROTATING SUPERCELLS. SINCE CLOUD COVER REMAINS IN QUESTION...WE WILL HOLD TEMPS BACK SOMEWHAT WITH MAINLY MIDDLE 80S FOR VALLEY LOCATIONS. THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM WILL FEATURE THE EVOLVING POSITIVE TILTED UPPER TROUGH AXIS AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT ORIGINATING FROM THE SUBTROPICS TO BRING A STREAM OF MOISTURE WITH THE CHANCE FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AND PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS SITUATION EVOLVE VERY CLOSELY. && .AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 445 PM EDT...MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE STAYED AWAY FROM THE TAF SITES. ONCE BRUSHED KALB/KGFL...ONE IS JUST NORTH OF KPOU. IT LOOKS AS IF ONE CELL MIGHT HIT KPSF SO AMENDED TO INCLUDE A TEMPO FOR MVFR THUNDER 21-22Z. STILL MORE THUNDERSTORMS UPSTREAM. IN FACT...A FEW MORE HAVE POPPED UP ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WORKING INTO WESTERN ALBANY COUNTY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF INSTABILITY TO WORK WITH...NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET. WILL CONTINUE WITH GENERAL VCSH BUT THAT COULD CHANGE AT ANY TIME THROUGH 00Z. AT KPSF...ASSIGNED A TEMPO FOR MVFR THUNDER THROUGH 22Z AS THAT AREA IS UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. STAY TUNED AND KEEP CHECKING THE TAFS AND AVIATION DISCUSSION. AFTER WE LOOSE THE CELLS THIS EVENING...CONCERNS FOCUS TO FOG ISSUES...ESPECIALLY AT KGFL WHERE BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN. ELSEWHERE WENT WITH MVFR FOG. THE WINDS TODAY WILL BE FROM A WESTERLY DIRECTION AT 5-10 KNOTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUST TO 15 KNOTS. EXPECT THE WINDS TO BECOME LIGHT TO CALM IN THE EARLY EVENING AND REMAIN LIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. OUTLOOK... TUE...MAINLY VFR. CHC -TSRA/-SHRA MAINLY DURING THE AFTN INTO THE EVNG. MVFR-IFR FOG LATE AT NIGHT INTO EARLY IN THE MORNING. WED...MAINLY VFR. SLIGHT CHC -TSRA/-SHRA. THU-FRI...VFR/MVFR. CHC -TSRAS/-SHRAS. && .FIRE WEATHER... WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS ALONG WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THIS WEEK. OUR NIGHTS WILL BE CONTINUE TO BE MUGGY WITH PATCHY FOG. MORE PERSISTENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED LATER IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS A SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IMPACTS THE REGION. && .HYDROLOGY... INCREASING UNSETTLED WEATHER THIS WEEK AND THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUES. PERSISTENT CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS A MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IMPACTS THE REGION. STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ALL WEEK WITH HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES. EARLY IN THE WEEK FLOW ALOFT WILL BE RATHER LIGHT SO STORMS WILL BE SLOWER MOVERS. FLOW IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE LATER IN THE WEEK. PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS ALONG WITH MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS WILL BE POSSIBLE. PLUS SOME SMALL STREAMS...CREEKS...AND BROOKS MAY REACH BANKFULL OR EVEN FLOODING QUICKLY IN THE HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY IF STORMS MOVE OVER THE SAME AREA REPEATEDLY.
