The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A very warm and humid air mass was in place across southern Vermont on Tuesday, May 21st. A slow moving frontal boundary was situated just north of the area across the Saint Lawrence River Valley along the United States-Canadian border. During the day, a wave of low pressure moved along this boundary, allowing the boundary to slowly push southward towards the area. With strong wind shear aloft and plenty of low level moisture in place, thunderstorms developed during the afternoon hours across eastern New York and some of these moved into southern Vermont by evening.
Thunderstorms initially formed as single cells and supercells, but eventually organized into several broken lines, which moved from west to east across the area. One of broken lines of thunderstorms that moved across southern Vermont produced gusty winds, which caused damage to trees and power lines in Dorset.
As the surface wave of low pressure moved away and with the loss of daytime heating, thunderstorms eventually ended during the late evening hours.
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 May 21, 8:14 PM EST, 1 hour earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 914 PM EDT TUE MAY 21 2013 .SYNOPSIS... WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. SOME OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE THIS EVENING AND WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION ON THURSDAY...AND MOVE EAST OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR FILTERING IN FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #203 HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL MIDNIGHT FOR EASTERN NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND... ADDITIONAL CONVECTION...STRONG TO SEVERE...IS MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH BOWING SEGMENTS. THE ALBANY 00Z SOUNDING HAS MOST UNSTABLE CAPE OF 1800 J/KG AND THE 850-500 MB LAPSE RATE OF 7.2 C/KM. SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS CONTINUES TO HAVE THE BEST 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OVER THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE HIGHEST INSTABILITY ACROSS THE SOUTH. MAJORITY OF REPORTS EARLIER TODAY WHERE HAIL AND THIS EVENING WE HAVE HAD WIND AND HAIL REPORTS. AS 415 PM EDT...IMPRESSIVE LARGE HAIL PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE CAPITAL REGION...AND POINTS JUST TO THE SOUTH. THE CELLS HAVE EXHIBITED HAIL MONSTER LIKE CHARACTERISTICS WITH SOME ELEVATED HAIL CORES /> 50 DBZS/ WAY ABOVE THE -20C HEIGHT. IN SOME CASES...EXCEEDING 40 KFT AGL !!! A QUICK MESOANALYIS SHOWS A WEAK SFC LOW/MESO LOW IS MOVING ACROSS THE CNTRL PORTION OF THE FCST AREA...WITH THE WINDS TO THE NORTHEAST AT KGFL...AND S/SW AT KPOU...AND SE WINDS OVER ALY. THE FCST AREA GOT INTO A WELL DEFINED WARM SECTOR...WHERE TEMPS SOARED INTO THE MID AND U80S...ESPECIALLY FROM THE CAPITAL REGION/MOHAWK VALLEY SOUTHWARD. A FEW 90S HAVE OCCURRED IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY. THE FRONT LOOKS LIKE IT IS JUST CLIPPING THE DACKS...LAKE GEORGE SARATOGA REGION...AND S-CNTRL VT. SFC DEWPTS HAVE RISEN INTO THE MID AND U60S OVER A LARGE PORTION OF THE FCST AREA. THE LATEST SPC MESO ANALYSIS PAGE INDICATES SBCAPES HAVE REACHED 2000-3500+ J/KG FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTH AND EAST...AND LESS INSTABILITY NORTHWARD /1000-2000 J/KG/. THE 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR ARE NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE IN THE SRN ZONES /BASICALLY SOUTH OF ALY/ WITH LESS THAN 30 KTS...BUT TO THE NORTH THE SHEAR VALUES ARE 30-40 KTS. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE APPROACHING THE 6.5 C/KM RANGE. THE CONVECTION SEEMS TO REFIRING ON THE AXIS OF 2000+ J/KG SBCAPE VALUES...AND THE RIM OF THE 30 KT SHEAR VALUES. THE LATEST MAGLENTA INDEX INDICATES A MAJOR SEVERE EVENT /HINGING ON THE LARGE CAPE VALUES/. CAPE=2000 J/KG (APPROX) MAX SOUNDING WIND=40 KTS EHI=0.5 STORM SPEED=20 KTS SRH=125 THE SVR CONVECTION SHOULD SIMMER DOWN EARLY THIS EVENING...BUT THE APPROACHING SHORT-WAVE FROM EXTREME SE ONTARIO...AND NRN LAKE ONTARIO WILL IMPACT OUR NRN ZONES BTWN BTWN 7 PM-10 PM. THE INSTABILITY WILL BE WANING...AND WE KEPT GUSTY WINDS IN THE FORECAST. POPS WERE RAISED TO CATEGORICAL AND HIGH LIKELY VALUES...AND LOCATIONS NORTH OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY COULD GET SOME DECENT RAINFALL. THE BEST LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND ISENTROPIC LIFT SETS UP IN THESE AREAS. THE SHOWALTER VALUES ARE STILL BELOW 0C...SO SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL BE A ROUND...SO WE WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF THUNDER IN. OVERNIGHT MINS WILL BE ON THE MURKY SIDE WITH TEMPS IN THE U50S TO M60S FOR LOWS. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... TOMORROW...THE SFC BOUNDARY WILL LIFT NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT AGAIN...AND THE FCST AREA GETS BACK INTO THE WARM SECTOR. ANOTHER SHORT-WAVE WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE ERN GREAT LAKES IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. SBCAPES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE 1000-2500 J/KG AGAIN OVER THE SRN TWO THIRDS OF THE FCST AREA WITH 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ONLY 25-30 KTS OR SO PRIOR TO 00Z...BUT THEN THEY INCREASE BTWN 00Z-06Z BASED ON THE NAM/GFS. THE LAPSE RATES DON/T STEEPEN TO 6.5C/KM UNTIL AROUND 00Z TOO. OUR THINKING IS FOR A LATER CONVECTIVE EVENT TOMORROW IN THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. SPC HAS MOST OF THE AREA OUTLOOKED /EXCEPT WRN NEW ENGLAND/. HAVE DECIDED TO USE ENHANCED WORDING FOR SOME STORMS MAY BE SEVERE IN THE AFTERNOON UNTIL MIDNIGHT. THE GUIDANCE USUALLY STRUGGLES WITH PREFRONTAL TROUGHS...AND ONE LOOKS POSSIBLE LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING FOR STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION. PWATS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN A FEW STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL WITH VALUES OF 1.25-1.75"...AND SFC DEWPTS WILL BE IN THE 60S AGAIN. SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY CONVECTION. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT TOMORROWS SEVERE THREAT. OUR LOCAL WRF INDICATES A SQUALL LINE MAY BE MOVING ACROSS W-CNTRL NY BY 00Z/THU IN THE 3KM BASE REF. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED. HIGHS TOMORROW IN THE U70S TO L80S OVER THE MTNS...AND M80S TO U80S IN THE VALLEYS. LOWS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 60S WED NIGHT WITH SULTRY SUMMERLIKE CONDITIONS. THU-THU NIGHT...TRICKY FORECAST FOR STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION ON THU WITH THE COLD FRONT STILL TO THE WEST. THE BETTER JET DYNAMICS DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH APPRECIABLE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY IN PLACE. THE QUESTION WILL BE HOW MUCH HEATING OCCURS WITH CLOUD COVER BEING AND ISSUE. LOCATIONS FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTH AND EAST MAY HAVE THE BEST CHC FOR DESTABILIZATION AND SEVERE WEATHER. NO SPC OUTLOOK YET...BUT DEFINITELY COULD SEE ONE LATER FOR PARTS OF THE REGION. WILL MENTION SOME STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON THU. THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH SLOWLY...WITH SHOWERS PERSISTING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. A WEAK WAVE MOVE ALONG THE BOUNDARY TOO. THE COLD ADVECTION WILL SLOWLY SEEP INTO THE REGION WITH LOWS IN THE 50S TO L60S BY DAYBREAK FRI. HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 70S ON THU. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... COOLER AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. HAVE FOLLOWED THE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER'S GUIDANCE WHICH FAVORS THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN WHICH HAS THE SUPPORT OF THE GEFS MEANS. WPC INDICATES THE DETERMINISTIC/OPERATIONAL RUNS OF THE ECMWF AND GFS DEVIATE SIGNIFICANTLY ENOUGH FROM THE STEADIER MEANS THAT THEY WERE NOT INCORPORATION INTO THEIR FORECAST. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. WILL HAVE LINGER SHOWERS ON FRIDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES OFF THE EAST. ON SATURDAY...THE REGION WILL BE UNDER CYCLONIC FLOW. THE HIGH WILL SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION AND OFFSHORE EARLY NEXT WEEK. SATURDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE COOLEST DAY WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S...AROUND 10 DEGREE BELOW NORMAL. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY MODERATE AS THE HIGH SHIFTS TO THE EAST WITH NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FOR MONDAY. THE GROWING SEASON IS UNDERWAY ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY... GREATER CAPITAL DISTRICT...LAKE GEORGE SARATOGA REGION...THE MOHAWK VALLEY...EASTERN CATSKILLS...TACONICS...BERKSHIRES...BENNINGTON AND EASTERN WINDHAM COUNTIES VT AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY. IT WILL START ON MAY 25TH FOR THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND WESTERN WINDHAM COUNTY. AT THIS TIME...NIGHTTIME LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING AND SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 40S IN THE VALLEYS AND 30S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WITH THE EXPANSION OF THE GROWING SEASON BY THIS TIME FROST ADVISORIES WOULD BE LIKELY NEEDED FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS COULD BE COLDER WHICH WOULD LEAD TO THE NEED FOR A FREEZE WARNING. && .AVIATION /01Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... HAVE BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS REGION PROVIDING FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION...STRONG TO SEVERE...HAS MOVED INTO THE AREA AS ANOTHER SHORT WAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. ALSO HAVE CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA. THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE LOCAL AREA WILL BE IMPACTED THE MOST OVERNIGHT. BASED TIMING OF CONVECTION THROUGH TAFS ON RADAR TRENDS. DO EXPECT A LULL IN CONVECTION WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH RENEWED CHANCES FOR CONVECTION AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIFTS NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT AGAIN...AND THE AREA GETS BACK INTO THE WARM SECTOR. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN TONIGHT BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE. WITH THE BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHWARD A SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA. OUTLOOK...
