The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A very warm and humid air mass was in place over eastern New York on Friday, July 19th. With temperatures well into the 90s, the air mass was very unstable.
A cold front was upstream of the region across the Great Lakes. Ahead of this front, a complex of thunderstorms developed across Lake Ontario during the evening hours of July 19th. As these thunderstorms moved eastward, they strengthened as they interacted with a lake-breeze boundary over central New York. The thunderstorms raced eastward across the Mohawk Valley, southern Adirondacks, and Saratoga Region during the late evening hours. Due to the quick movement of the storms and the very unstable air mass in place, the thunderstorms mainly produced damaging winds, although there was also a report of large hail and heavy rainfall, which led to a mudslide in Herkimer County.
The thunderstorms moved east of the region by midnight, ending the threat for severe weather.

NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 19, 7:10 PM EST, 46 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 810 PM EDT FRI JUL 19 2013 .SYNOPSIS... AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS THIS EVENING...WHILE THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION CONTINUES HOT AND MUGGY WEATHER. THIS COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AS THIS FRONT APPROACHES WITH SOME STORMS POSSIBLY BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE. WITH THE FRONTS PASSAGE...A SEASONABLE AIRMASS WILL BE USHERED IN FOR SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 424 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY...WESTERN AND SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...AND SARATOGA SPRINGS AND GLENS FALLS AREAS THROUGH MIDNIGHT. AS OF 810 PM EDT...THERE IS A LINE OF CONVECTION EXTENDING ACROSS THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF WARREN/HAMILTON/HERKIMER COUNTIES...MAINLY FOR GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THIS LINE HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING WIND DAMAGE ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY...ALTHOUGH THE MAIN PUNCH OF WIND WITH THESE STORMS LOOKS TO STAY NORTH OF OUR AREA. THESE THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO MOVE EASTWARD AND OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. MEANWHILE...ANOTHER LINE OF CONVECTION WITH AN MCS-LIKE STRUCTURE IS OVER LAKE ONTARIO AND RAPIDLY MOVING EASTWARD. IF THIS FEATURE HOLDS TOGETHER...IT WILL REACH OUR NORTHWESTERN AREAS BY AROUND 9 TO 10 PM...AND THIS IS THE MAIN REASON FOR THE WATCH THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED. WITH THE ENVIRONMENT MOIST AND UNSTABLE AHEAD OF THIS LINE...WE SEE NO REASON WHY IT SHOULDN/T HOLD TOGETHER. WITH THE RAPID SPEED AND STRUCTURE OF THIS SYSTEM...DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT. FROM THE CAPITAL REGION ON SOUTH...IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY THIS EVENING...AS THE BEST FORCING SHOULD STAY NORTH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER..ANY SMALL TURN IN THE MCS COULD BRING IT CLOSER TO THE CAPITAL DISTRICT...SO WE WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR RADAR TRENDS. AFTER MIDNIGHT...THERE SHOULD BE A LULL IN THE ACTION AS THE MCS WEAKENS AND/OR MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA. HOWEVER...LATE TONIGHT...CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE ONCE AGAIN FROM THE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER TROUGH AS HEIGHTS FALLS AS THE SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEGINS TO APPROACH. ANOTHER WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... CHANGE OF AIRMASS ON THE WAY... NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE APPROACH OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES WITH A 60 TO 70 KT MID-LEVEL JET MOVING ACROSS QUEBEC DURING THE DAY. GUIDANCE INDICATES CONVECTION ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT SATURDAY MORNING AS IT MOVING INTO THE AREA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE AND INTENSITY AS IT MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY AND 0-6KM SHEAR INCREASING TO 30 TO 40 KNOTS. WILL HAVE UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILES WITH 850 MB WESTERLY WINDS OF 25 TO 35 KNOTS SO MAIN SEVERE THREAT IS FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. CAN NOT RULE OUT LARGE HAIL IF STORMS. TIMING FOR ACTIVITY AND SEVERE THREAT IS THE EARLY/MID AFTERNOON ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA. HAVE ENHANCED WORDING IN FORECAST FOR WHEN HAVE LIKELY/NUMEROUS POPS WITH GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND HEAVY RAINFALL. HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY HEAT ADVISORIES FOR SATURDAY...HOWEVER ITS CLOSE FOR SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD...EASTERN ULSTER AND WESTERN DUTCHESS. IT WILL DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER WE GET ON SATURDAY. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT A SEASONABLE AIRMASS WILL BE USHERED IN. A BIG CHANCE FROM WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS WEEK. WILL BEGIN TO NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE SATURDAY NIGHT. MORE SO ON SUNDAY WHEN WE ARE EXPECTING HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOWER 70S TO MID 80S. SUNDAY NIGHT WILL FEEL CHILLY IN SOME PLACES WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE LOWER/MID 40S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS TO LOWER 60S IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE LONGWAVE PATTERN WITH A NORTHEAST PACIFIC TROUGH...RIDGE ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND A TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS TROUGH FOR THE PERIOD. HOWEVER...THERE CONTINUES TO BE DIFFERENCES IN THE INDIVIDUAL MODEL RUNS AND ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ON THE MID LEVEL/SURFACE DETAILS...MOVEMENT AND AMPLITUDE OF SYSTEMS...AND THESE BECOME SIGNIFICANT BY LATE IN THE WEEK. HAVE FOLLOWED GUIDANCE FROM THE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER FOR FORECAST CONSISTENCY. AT THIS TIME...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD IMPACT THE REGION EARLY INTO MID WEEK. THE BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS/UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL BE WITH THE SYSTEM'S WARM FRONT LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THE SYSTEM'S COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH OUR REGION WEDNESDAY AND IS EXPECTED TO BECOME STALLED ALONG THE EAST COAST FOR LATE IN THE WEEK. AS FOR TEMPERATURES LOOKING SEASONABLE READINGS WITH DEW POINTS/HUMIDITY ON THE RISE AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES BUT NOT ANTICIPATING OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS. && .AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT WITH JUST SOME PASSING CIRRUS. WE WILL NEED TO WATCH A LINE OF CONVECTION OVER LAKE ONTARIO TO SEE IF IT REACHES KGFL LATE THIS EVENING. DEPENDING ON THE EXACT TRACK...SOME RAIN/THUNDER WITH MVFR CONDITIONS IS POSSIBLE THERE AROUND MIDNIGHT. OTHERWISE...WE WILL ALSO MONITORING FOR ANY FOG POTENTIAL. MOST AREAS WON/T SEE ANY...BUT THE EXCEPTION MAY BE KPSF/KGFL...WHERE A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR BR IS POSSIBLE JUST PRIOR TO SUNRISE. BASED ON CONDITIONS LAST NIGHT...THIS WOULD ONLY BE A FEW HOURS...AND THE BEST CHC WOULD BE AT KGFL. HOWEVER...IF KGFL SEES ANY RAIN THIS EVENING THAT WOULD INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR LATE NIGHT FOG. S-SW WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL BE RATHER LIGHT...ALTHOUGH THEY MAY BE HIGHER WITHIN ANY TSTMS. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE ON SATURDAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION BY THE LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTN HOURS. A FEW HOUR PERIOD OF SHRA/TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ALL TAF SITES...WITH MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. IN THE WAKE OF THE SHOWERS/STORMS...CIGS SHOULD GO BACK TO VFR WITH NEARLY CLEAR SKIES...AND WESTERLY WINDS WILL AVERAGE AROUND 10 KTS. OUTLOOK... SATURDAY NIGHT: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS...THUNDERSTORMS. SUNDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER. SUNDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER. MONDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT.

RELIEF IN SIGHT...HOWEVER WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH HEAT AND HUMIDITY UNTIL A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION THIS WEEKEND. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AS THIS FRONT APPROACHES. WITH THE FRONTS PASSAGE...A SEASONABLE AIRMASS WILL BE USHERED IN. && .HYDROLOGY... ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE FROM THE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST LATE TONIGHT IS ASSOCIATION WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER TROUGH AS HEIGHTS FALLS. LOOKING TOWARD SATURDAY...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED SOME WITH HEAVY RAINFALL. OVERALL AN AVERAGE BASIN RAINFALL LESS THAN AN INCH IS EXPECTED. EVEN THOUGH STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THE STORMS WILL MOVING AND TRAINING AND OR BACKBUILDING OF STORMS IS NOT EXPECTED. DUE TO THE RECENT DRY WEATHER...FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE GENERALLY 2 AND 3 INCHES. SO CONDITIONS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR A WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOOD SITUATION...HOWEVER LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE. FOR THE MOST PART WE EXPECT ONLY MINOR RISES ON THE MAIN STEM RIVERS. DRY WEATHER RETURNS SUNDAY INTO THE FIRST PART OF MONDAY.
