The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A warm and humid air mass was in place over western Massachusetts during the afternoon and evening hours on Monday, July 7th, which allowed the atmosphere to become quite unstable. As an upper level shortwave trough moved towards the area, clusters of thunderstorms developed over eastern New York and moved into western Massachusetts by the evening hours. These thunderstorms, although not overly tall, were able to bring very strong winds aloft down to the surface, producing damaging wind gusts to trees and power lines. The threat for severe thunderstorms ended by the late evening hours, as the shortwave trough moved east of the region.
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 Jul 7, 5:30 PM EST, 47 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 630 PM EDT MON JUL 7 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR EASTERN NEW YORK. IT IS MOST UNSTABLE IN THIS REGION BUT THUNDERSTORMS COULD EVEN BECOME STRONG IN WESTERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH EVENING. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT BUT AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES LATE TUESDAY...MORE THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP AGAIN. SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR LOOKS TO BUILD INTO THE REGION AREA WITH BUT THERE STILL COULD BE A STRAY THUNDERSTORM ON WEDNESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... AS OF 630 PM EDT...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM #397 CONTINUES FOR EASTERN NEW YORK THROUGH 1000 PM. RADARS INDICATED THAT THE THUNDERSTORM WORKING THROUGH ALBANY HAS WEAKENED A BIT BUT STILL COULD PRODUCE SOME LOCALLY WIND GUSTS CAPABLE OF DAMAGE. HOWEVER...THE SOUTHERN FLANK HAS ACTUALLY STRENGTHEN ENOUGH TO ISSUE ANOTHER WARNING. THERE WERE OTHER STRONG THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL WASHINGTON COUNTY. THE STORMS TO THE WEST OF OUR REGION HAVE WEAKENED...AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. THE LATEST LAPS ANALYSIS INDICATED SURFACE CAPES HAVE LOWERED TO 1500-2500 J/KG THROUGHOUT MOST OF OUR REGION...STILL UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. PWATS HAVE RAMPED UP NEARLY 2 INCHES. RAINFALL FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE QUITE HEAVY...PRODUCING LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF AN INCH OR BETTER. SOME AREAS WILL RECEIVE LITTLE OR NO RAINFALL THROUGH EARLY EVENING...BUT WHERE THUNDERSTORMS HAPPEN...EXPECT HEAVY RAINFALL AND PERHAPS STRONG TO LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS (MAINLY IN NEW YORK). WESTERN NEW ENGLAND THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS UP TO 50 MPH AND AN ADDITIONAL DESTRUCTIVE WIND GUSTS CANNOT BE RULED OUT EITHER. LATER THIS EVENING...AS THE SHORT WAVE MOVES ON BY...AND INSTABILITY WEAKENS...THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH. IN FACT...WE LOWER POPS BELOW 15 PERCENT LATER OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY. IT WILL BE A MUGGY OVERNIGHT WITH PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE (PENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN ULTIMATELY FALLS). LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. THE WIND WILL PREVAIL FROM A SOUTH DIRECTION 5 TO 10 MPH...BUT OF COURSE COULD BE MUCH HIGHER (AND FROM ANY DIRECTION) IN THE VICINITY OF ANY THUNDERSTORM. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... TUESDAY STARTS QUITE WITH HAZY SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO GO EVEN HIGHER THAN TODAY WITH A BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT. A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...FALLING MID LEVEL HEIGHTS (COOLING ALOFT)...WILL LIKELY TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON. INSTABILITY WILL ONCE AGAIN INCREASE TO 1500-3000 J/KG AND THE 0-6KM BULK SHEAR APPROACHES 40 KTS. ONCE AGAIN...THERE WILL BE A THREAT THAT SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE. LAPSE RATES LOOK MODEST TOPPING OUT AROUND 6.0 K/CM. THIS MEANS THAT WIND WILL LIKELY BE THE MOST SEVERE FACTOR WITH LARGE HAIL LIMITED TO THE STRONGEST CELLS. WITH A STRONG WSW FLOW THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A LINE OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP LATE IN THE DAY...MOVING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. PWATS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 2 INCHES BY TUESDAY EVENING SO MORE EFFICIENT RAIN WILL LEAD TO LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL. OUR AREA WILL BE UNDERNEATH A NEARLY 100KT JET ENTRANCE REGION WHICH COULD ENHANCED RAINFALL AMOUNTS. DRIER AIR WILL INFILTRATE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT CUTTING PWATS IN HALF AND LOWERING DEWPOINTS BACK INTO THE UPPER 50S. WEDNESDAY IT NOW LOOKS AS IF IT WILL BE DRIER AND THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH FASTER THAN EARLIER THOUGHT. NEVERTHELESS...ADDITIONAL ENERGY IN THE WAY OF PERHAPS A SECONDARY COLD FRONT OR TROUGH AND PERHAPS ONE MORE SHORT WAVE...COULD SPARK A FEW ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...THESE SHOULD NOT BE AS STRONG OR CONTAIN AS HEAVY AS RAINFALL SINCE PWAT VALUES WILL BE UNDER AN INCH. OTHERWISE...IT WILL BE PARTLY SUNNY. LOOKS MAINLY CLEAR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS PLEASANT SUMMER RETURNS COURTESY OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH A WAVE ALONG THE STALLED FRONT TO OUR SOUTHEAST. RIGHT NOW...MOST MODELS HAVE THIS WAVE AND ANY ASSOCIATED RAINFALL STAYING TO OUR SOUTH...BUT NOT BY THAT MUCH. TEMPERATURE WISE...LOOK FOR HIGHS FROM THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90 TUESDAY AFTERNOON...60S TUESDAY NIGHT. ON WEDNESDAY...THE HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 70S NORTHWEST TO UPPER 80S SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY...COOLING TO THE 50S FROM THE CAPITAL REGION NORTH ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...LOWER 60S SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... THE LONG TERM LOOKS TO START OUT QUITE WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL ON THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. BOTH DAYS LOOK TO BE RAINFREE WITH COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS AND A REFRESHING COOL NIGHT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHTS. BY SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE TO OUR SOUTHEAST...ALLOWING FOR HUMIDITY TO BEGIN TO RETURN ALONG WITH THE OUTSIDE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. BY SUNDAY...ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE COMBINING WITH INCREASES HUMIDITY WILL GIVE THE BETTER CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. THERE ARE SOME SIGNALS THAT A LARGE TROUGH MIGHT DIG SOUTH FROM HUDSON BAY...POSSIBLY A CUTOFF LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THIS WOULD INDUCE AN ENHANCED SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER OUR REGION...AND BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL (VIA TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS) FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THIS SCENARIO IS CERTAINLY NOT ETCHED IN STONE (THE 12Z GFS DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS AS MUCH AS THE EUROPEAN MODELS). HOWEVER...IT SOMETHING THAT BEARS WATCHING. HIGHS EACH OF THE DAYS OF THE EXTENDED WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM 80-85 IN THE VALLEYS...MID TO UPPER 70S HIGHER TERRAIN. THE DIFFERENCE WILL BE IN THE HUMIDITY...LOWER ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY (DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S)...MODERATE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY (DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S)...AND LIKELY HIGH BY MONDAY (AROUND 70). LOWS WILL BE IN THE 50S THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHTS...60S SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...60S TO NEAR 70 BY MONDAY NIGHT. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... A COLD FRONT IS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. THE AIRMASS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION HAS BECOME MOIST AND UNSTABLE. A ROUND OF CONVECTION WILL FIRE UP AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS A SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE DEEP WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE REGION. SOME OF THESE STORMS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. THE MAIN THREAT IS FOR STRONG/DAMAGING WINDS. LOOKING THROUGH MODELS HAVE USED THE HRRR-3KM FOR GUIDANCE FOR INCLUDING THUNDERSTORMS IN THE TAFS. HAVE TEMPO GROUPS IN FOR KALB (22Z-00Z) AND KPSF (23Z-01Z). WHERE HAVE HIGHER CONFIDENCE. WHILE AT KGFL AND KPOU HAVE USED VCSH TO ADDRESS CONVECTION. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO WIND DOWN BY LATE EVENING WITH SKIES BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY AND WINDS WILL WEAKEN. SOME AREAS OF FOG AND/OR STRATUS COULD DEVELOP OVERNIGHT PARTICULARLY IN AREAS WHERE WHICH SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OCCUR. HAVE MVFR VIS IN TAFS WITH SCATTERED MVFR CLOUDS. AFTER SUNRISE MIXING BEGINS AND ANY FOG WILL DISSIPATE AND CLOUDS WOULD LIFT. CONVECTION ON TUESDAY SHOULD NOT OCCUR UNTIL AFTER 18Z/TUESDAY END OF TAF PERIOD. MAINLY LOOKING AT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS 10-15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS INTO THE 20S. WINDS WILL WEAKEN/DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS TUESDAY INCREASING TO AROUND 10 KNOTS. WINDS WILL BE MUCH STRONGER...AND VARIABLE IN DIRECTION IN AND NEAR ANY THUNDERSTORMS. OUTLOOK... TUE NIGHT: HIGH OPERATIONAL IMPACT. LIKELY SHRA...TSRA. WED-WED NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA. THU-FRI NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX. SAT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHC PM TSRA. && .FIRE WEATHER... UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH MIDWEEK. RH VALUES WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGHOUT THIS TIME FRAME WITH THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY THIS EVENING AND AGAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. SOME OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL. IT IS A BETTER THAN 50/50 CHANCE THAT ALL AREAS RECEIVE A QUARTER INCH OR MORE OF RAINFALL THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY...SOME AREAS A LOT MORE. DRIER WEATHER WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BUT AN AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM IS STILL POSSIBLE. DRIER WEATHER RETURNS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE WIND WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST 5 TO 15 MPH THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...SHIFTING TO WEST AT SIMILAR SPEEDS WEDNESDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE EFFICIENT RAINMAKERS TODAY AGAIN TOMORROW THANKS TO HIGH PWATS (NEAR 2 INCHES) AND ELEVATED FREEZING LEVELS (14,000 FEET OR HIGHER). WE HAVE ALREADY HAD A FEW REPORTS OF OVER AN INCH PER HOUR WITH SOME STORMS TODAY. RAINFALL WITH THE STORMS THROUGH TOMORROW COULD CERTAINLY CAUSE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE. AT THIS POINT...ANY FLASH FLOODING THROUGH THE EVENING LOOKS TOO LOCALIZED TO HOIST ANY FLASH FLOOD WATCHES. FOR THEM MOST PART RIVERS AND STREAMS SHOULD NOT BE TOO ADVERSELY AFFECT BY ANY HEAVY RAINFALLS...UNLESS A CORE DUMPS RIGHT OVER A CRITICAL WATERSHED. TUESDAY NIGHT HOWEVER...THERE COULD BE TRAINING OF THUNDERSTORMS WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IF WE GET HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT (SATURATING THE SOILS). WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION IN OUR HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK (HWO). DRIER WEATHER LOOKS TO RETURN LATER WEDNESDAY AND ESPECIALLY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
