The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A warm and humid air mass was in place across eastern New York on Monday, September 2nd, Labor Day. A southerly flow ahead of an approaching cold front brought plenty of moisture into the region from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. This persistent southerly flow caused some showers and thunderstorms to develop over the region during the afternoon hours. Some of these thunderstorms tracked over the same area, resulting in heavy rainfall in a short period of time across Dutchess County. This caused flash flooding to occur in the Hyde Park area.
As the cold front approached by the late afternoon hours, the showers and thunderstorms organized into a squall line across the western Mohawk Valley. Hail and damaging winds occurred across several locations in southern Herkimer County. At one point, up to 2,000 customers were without power in Herkimer County as a result of thunderstorms. As the line of thunderstorms tracked eastward into the evening hours, they began to weaken, and the threat for severe weather ended.
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 2, 3:32 PM EST, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
432 PM EDT MON SEP 2 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL BE
PRECEDED BY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR
MASS WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION FOR THE MID WEEK PERIOD BEFORE
ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH JUST A CHANCE
FOR A SHOWER OR TWO. ANOTHER SURGE OF A MORE NOTICEABLE COOLER AND
DRIER AIR ARRIVES FOR THE END OF THIS WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE TACONICS AND ADJACENT
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND COUNTIES.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 510 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT FOR
MOHAWK VALLEY...SCHOHARIE VALLEY AND ADIRONDACKS.
AN ACTIVE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING PERIOD OF WEATHER IS
EXPECTED AS A STRONG UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND
EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES MIGRATES THROUGH THE REGION. THE MAIN
CHALLENGE REMAINS INSTABILITY AS MOST OF THE AREA HAS REMAIN CLOUD
COVERED HOLDING BACK SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY SOMEWHAT.
HOWEVER...OVER THE WESTERN AREAS AND INTO CENTRAL NY...MORE
SUNSHINE HAS ALLOWED FOR FURTHER DESTABILIZATION WITH SPC AND LAPS
PARAMETERS SUGGESTING SBCAPES AROUND 3K J/KG WITH SHEAR PROFILES
AROUND 30-35KTS. A ROBUST CONVECTIVE CLUSTER HAS EVOLVED OVER LAKE
ONTARIO WITH SOME ATTEMPTS OF DEVELOPING A SCT-BKN LINE OVER
CENTRAL NY BUT ITS CURRENTLY STRUGGLING /LIKELY DUE TO UPSTREAM
CONVECTION OVER NORTHERN PA/.
FORECAST TRENDS AND NCEP MODEL SUITE SUGGEST THIS VIGOROUS UPPER
TROUGH WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE BEST SHEAR AND
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA. ACROSS THE
CATSKILLS AND PORTIONS OF CT...A QUASI-LINEAR BOUNDARY ALONG WITH
FAVORABLE UPSLOPE CONDITIONS DUE TO THE 5-15KT SSW LOW LEVEL FLOW
HAS RESULTED IN SLOW MOVING CONVECTION. DECIDED NOT TO EXPAND THE
FFW INTO THESE AREAS AT THIS TIME DUE TO LACK OF PREVIOUS RAINFALL
AND COLLABORATION.
MOST OF THIS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE WITHIN A COUPLE
OF HOURS OF SUNSET BUT WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF SHOWERS OVERNIGHT
DUE TO THE CYCLONIC FLOW AND SOME MOISTURE OFF LAKE ONTARIO
OVERNIGHT. MOS NUMBERS ARE FAIRLY CLOSE AND A BLENDED APPROACH WAS
UTILIZED.
WINDS MAY DECOUPLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME OVERNIGHT AND WITH
RAINFALL...PATCHY FOG MAY BE THE RESULT AS WE HAVE CONTINUED THIS
IDEA INTO THE FORECAST GRIDS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS SEEN IN THE SATELLITE IMAGERY UPSTREAM...AMPLE CU/SC UNDER THE
UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF OUR REGION ON TUESDAY TO
RESULT IN A MORE CLOUDS THAN SUN FORECAST. THE MOST PREVALENT
CLOUD COVER WILL BE ACROSS THE MOHAWK VALLEY AND ADIRONDACKS WHERE
FAVORABLE INSTABILITY OFF LAKE ONTARIO...UPSLOPE CONDITIONS TO
RESULT IN HIGHER POPS FOR SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW
DEGREES COOLER /EXCEPTION WOULD BE ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY
AND SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD WHERE DOWNSLOPING SHOULD RESULT IN NEAR
IDENTICAL TEMPS AS TODAY WITH A LITTLE MORE SUNSHINE/ ALONG WITH A
DROP IN THE DEWPOINTS FROM THE 60S INTO THE 50S THROUGHOUT THE
DAY.
THE DIURNAL ASPECT OF THE CLOUDS WILL SUBSIDE TUESDAY EVENING
WHICH WILL ALSO COINCIDE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH.
THIS WILL RESULT IN SUBSIDENCE AND CLEARING SKIES. QUESTION WILL
BE FOG POTENTIAL AS THE GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN A BIT TIGHT
FOR WIDESPREAD FOG TO DEVELOP. BUT CLIMATOLOGY FOR FOG IS
INCREASING AND LATER SHIFTS TO ASCERTAIN THE POTENTIAL IN FUTURE
FORECAST CYCLES. OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY INTO THE 50S.
A FAST MOVING COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO DIVE SOUTHWARD FROM
CENTRAL CANADA AND SWEEP ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION WEDNESDAY
EVENING AND ACROSS OUR REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
MOISTURE IS RATHER LIMITED BUT SOME LAKE MOISTURE CONTRIBUTION MAY
RESULT IN A FEW SHOWERS AND HAVE CONTINUED/EXPANDED THE SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. OTHERWISE...A MAINLY DRY
FORECAST WITH A MIXTURE OF CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE AND NEAR SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES WITH COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS. WINDS MAY BECOME A
BIT GUSTY AT TIMES LATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNING WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED IS QUITE HIGH AS THERE IS GOOD MODEL
AGREEMENT AMONGST THE GFS/EUROPEAN (ECMWF) AND CANADIAN GLOBAL
(CMC).
THE PERIOD STARTS OUT THURSDAY NIGHT WITH SPRAWLING CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION. THIS HIGH WILL LIKELY BE IN
CONTROL OF OUR WEATHER THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
INITIALLY THIS HIGH WILL PUSH THE COOLEST AIR MASS INTO OUR REGION
FROM CANADA SINCE LATE LAST MAY. H850 TEMPERATURES LOOK TO COOL
ABOUT +2C TO +5C BY FRIDAY MORNING...WARMING BACK TO AROUND +10C BY
DAY/S END...AND THEN INTO THE LOWER TEENS SATURDAY.
WITH A MAINLY CLEAR SKY THROUGH THIS PERIOD...THE RESULT WILL BE A
CHILLY NIGHT FRIDAY MORNING WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 40S...EXCEPT
UPPER OR POSSIBLY EVEN SOME MID 30S ACROSS OUR COLDER SPOTS TO THE
NORTH. IT IS LITTLE EARLY TO MENTION FROST YET...BUT IT IS CERTAINLY
A POSSIBILITY IN THE COLDEST SPOTS OF THE ADIRONDACKS/GREENS AND
PERHAPS EVEN UPPER HUDSON VALLEY.
SUNSHINE AND THOSE WARMING H850 TEMPERATURES WILL ALLOW SURFACE
TEMPERATURES TO BOUNCE BACK BY LATE FRIDAY TO THE MID 60S TO LOWER
70S...STILL A LITTLE SHY OF NORMAL.
FRIDAY NIGHT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE QUITE AS CHILLY AS A
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW COMMENCES AND PERHAPS THERE MIGHT BE SOME WARM
AIR ADVECTION CLOUDS. LOWS LOOK TO BE WITH A FEW DEGREES OF
50.
IT WILL BE WARMER STILL ON SATURDAY WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM 70
ACROSS THE ADIRONDACK TO NEAR 80 SOUTH NEAR POUGHKEEPSIE.
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...ALL THE MODELS INDICATE ANOTHER COLD
FRONT SWOOPING SOUTHWARD FROM CANADA...BRINGING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND POSSIBLY EVEN A THUNDERSTORM...ESPECIALLY LATE SUNDAY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO SATURDAY...BUT WITH MORE
HUMIDITY.
THE AIR BEHIND THIS FRONT DOES NOT LOOK AS COOL AS ITS PREDECESSOR.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL ATTEMPT TO SINK SOUTH FROM CANADA...BUT THIS TIME
IT MIGHT SLIDE OFF TO THE EAST. WE COULD END UP IN AN EASTERLY FLOW
WITH CLOUDS PERSISTING INTO MONDAY...HOWEVER THERE IS NEARLY AN
EQUAL CHANCE OF ENOUGH DRY AIR MAKING IT DOWN TO BRING US PARTIAL
CLEARING. FOR NOW...WE OPTED WITH THE LATER SOLUTION BUT EITHER
WAY...MONDAY LOOKS DRY WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE
UPPER 60S TO MID 70S.
OVERALL...PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE BELOW NORMAL WITH TEMPERATURES A
LITTLE BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 430 EDT...BASED ON RADAR TRENDS...TEMPERED BACK THE TEMPO FOR
THUNDERSTORMS AT KALB AND KPSF. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THESE TAFS ARE
ALL IN THE CLEAR...BUT THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS LOOKS A BIT LESS THAN 50 PERCENT. HOWEVER...PLEASE
KEEP MONITORING THE TAFS IN THE POSSIBLE EVENT WE PLACED THUNDER
BACK INTO THE TAFS IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WE KEPT THE TEMPO FOR
THUNDER IN AT THE KPOU UNTIL 22Z AND SINCE THERE WAS A LINE UPSTREAM
AT KGFL KEPT A TEMPO IN FOR 22Z-23Z.
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW AND SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM
SOUTHEAST ONTARIO AND SOUTHWEST QUEBEC INTO THIS EVENING...BRINGING
PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE TERMINALS.
CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO BE MAINLY VFR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT
WITHIN ANY SHRA/TSRA OCCASIONAL MVFR AND EVEN BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS
IS STILL POSSIBLE.
CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE THIS EVENING AND ESPECIALLY AFTER DARK
WITH LOSS OF INSTABILITY AND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING ACROSS THE
AREA. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF RESIDUAL LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE...SO LOW STRATUS AND/OR SOME FOG FORMATION IS LIKELY.
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE...WITH THE GREATEST LIKELIHOOD FOR IFR
AT KGFL/KPSF.
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN BY LATE TUESDAY MORNING...AS A DRIER
NORTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE REGION. THERE IS THE RISK FOR AN
ISOLATED SHOWER AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS PASSES THROUGH...BUT
COVERAGE IS TOO LOW TO MENTION IN TAFS AT THIS TIME.
SURFACE WINDS WILL BE SOUTHERLY AROUND 5 TO 7 KT INTO THE
EVENING...THEN BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST AND INCREASE TO AROUND 5 TO 10 KT TUESDAY MORNING. WINDS
WILL BE GUSTY AND ERRATIC IN AND NEAR ANY THUNDERSTORMS.
OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
WEDNESDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT.BREEZY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT : NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
WARM...HUMID AND WET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING.
A DRIER AIRMASS WILL BE USHERED IN OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS COLD
FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. FIRE WEATHER RELATED CONCERNS ARE
LOW AT THIS TIME.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE CLOSE TO 2 INCHES...OVER 90 PERCENT
ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY THRESHOLDS...SO VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL OCCUR
WITH SOME OF THE STORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING. ATMOSPHERIC WINDS
WILL REMAIN LIGHT RESULTING IN SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS. WE
WILL CONTINUE WITH THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THOSE COUNTIES
PREVIOUSLY HIGHLIGHTED. HOWEVER....WE CAN NOT RULE OUT THE
POSSIBILITY FOR ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING ACROSS EAST CENTRAL NEW
YORK THROUGH THIS EVENING BUT FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO WARRANT A WATCH AT THIS TIME.
A DRIER AIRMASS WILL FINALLY BE USHERED INTO THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY AS COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED THIS WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE
WILL DOMINATE MUCH OF THE TIME. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE A COUPLE/FEW
FRONTAL PASSAGES WHICH WILL BRING THE THREAT OF A FEW SHOWERS TO
THE AREA.
