The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A very moist and humid air mass was in place across the region on Wednesday, June 25th. As a slow moving cold front approached from the west, bands of heavy rain showers and thunderstorms developed ahead of the boundary. As these showers and thunderstorms repeatedly passed over the same locations, the heavy rainfall led to significant runoff, which caused flash flooding in some areas. Many roads were closed due to the flooding and some homes were affected by water as well. In addition, a few of the storms produced damaging lightning strikes as well.
The threat for heavy rainfall and flooding ended late on the evening of June 25th, as the storm's cold front passed through the region from west to east.
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 25, 7:01 PM EST, 29 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
801 PM EDT WED JUN 25 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WORK SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
TONIGHT. THE AIR MASS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY
HUMID. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR IN THE VICINITY OF THE
BOUNDARY AND SOME STORMS MAY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY
RAINFALL. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTROLS OUR
WEATHER LATE THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA ADJUSTED TO CANCEL FOR THE WESTERN MOHAWK
VALLEY...SCHOHARIE VALLEY AND SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...SINCE THE
HEAVIEST RAIN HAS ENDED THERE. EXPANDED THE WATCH TO THE EASTERN
CATSKILLS...MID HUDSON VALLEY...TACONICS...SOUTHERN
VT...BERKSHIRES AND NW CT.
BANDS OF RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE SLOWLY BUILDING EAST
AND SOUTH AS COVERAGE EXPANDS. CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS ARE TRACKING
NORTHEAST WITHIN THE BANDS OF RAIN. NORTH OF THE NEW WATCH
AREA...JUST SOME PERIODS OF MODERATE RAIN THAT SHOULD NOT PRODUCE
ANY ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING AS THE ATMOSPHERE HAS STABILIZED IN
NORTHERN AND WESTERN AREAS. RADAR HAS BEEN ESTIMATING THE
RAINFALL FAIRLY WELL...AND SOME HOURLY RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2
INCHES PER HOUR HAVE CAUSE SOME MINOR FLASH FLOODING IN SOME AREAS
WITH SOME STANDING WATER ON SOME ROADS.
BASED ON RADAR TRENDS...AND MESOSCALE MODEL OUTPUT SUCH AS THE
HRRR AND HIRESWRF...THE BAND OF STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS WILL
SLOWLY BUILD EAST AND SOUTH THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH SOME TRAINING
OF CONVECTION AT TIMES...AND ALL AREAS ARE UNDER THE THREAT FOR
ENOUGH WATER ON SOME ROADWAYS FOR SOME MINOR FLASH FLOODING. SOME
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE INTO THIS
EVENING IN SOUTHERN AREAS THAT HAVE NOT SEEN RAIN YET AND ARE
STILL EXPERIENCING SOME SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY. LOWS TONIGHT
SHOULD BE IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70 WITH SUCH SLOW PROGRESS OF THE
COLD FRONT. HOWEVER... THE WINDS MAY SHIFT TO WEST AND NORTHWEST
AROUND SUNRISE IN WESTERN AND NORTHWESTERN AREAS...WHERE LOW
TEMPERATURES COULD BE CLOSER TO 60.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LINGERING CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION AS THE COLD FRONT
WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
LINGERING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD EXIT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND
IN THE MORNING...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS IN MANY OTHER
AREAS IN THE MORNING. THERE SHOULD BE MORE CLOUDS THAN SUN
THURSDAY BUT AT LEAST SOME THIN SPOTS IN CLOUDS AND SOME BREAKS.
BY SUNSET...SOME MORE MEANINGFUL BREAK UP OF THE CLOUD COVER
SHOULD OCCUR...ESPECIALLY IN WESTERN AND NORTHERN AREAS. NORTHWEST
WINDS COULD BECOME BREEZY IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT WITH JUST SOME
INTERMITTENT BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS...HIGH TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE
IN THE 70S TO NEAR 80...BUT LOWER TO MID 80S MID HUDSON VALLEY AND
NW CT WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES WILL BE LAST TO COOL.
THURSDAY NIGHT...MORE GRADUAL BREAK UP OF THE CLOUD COVER AND
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH. LOWS IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S...WITH
AROUND 50 IN THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS WHERE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR THE MOST CLEARING. FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN AND DRY WEATHER DOMINATES. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO
LOWER 80S BOTH DAYS.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
GUIDANCE IS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH A BROAD SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CONUS WITH THE RIDGING INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHEAST REGION EVENTUALLY GIVING WAY TO A LARGE CLOSED LOW MOVING
EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA.
INITIALLY RIDGING WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER AS WE CLOSE OUT THE
WEEKEND WITH SEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES.
THE WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
SHOULD GRAZE THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION EARLY IN THE
WEEK...PLACING US IN THE WARM SECTOR. THERE IS AGREEMENT THE SURFACE
LOW PASSES WELL TO OUR NORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN HUDSON BAY CANADA MID
WEEK. ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SHOULD BE APPROACHING OUR REGION MID
WEEK...THE FLOW ALOFT WILL PARALLEL TO THE SURFACE BOUNDARY MAKING
ITS PROGRESS RATHER SLOW. BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL BE
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AND
RISING DEW POINTS.
NEXT WEEK WILL START OUT WITH WARM AND HUMID DAYS AND MILD...MUGGY
NIGHTS.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO MOVE GRADUALLY SOUTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE REGION WITH A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH APPROACH FROM
THE WEST. THE BOUNDARY HAS MADE TO THE CAPITAL DISTRICT HAVE
NORTHERLY WINDS AT GLENS FALLS AND ALBANY. WINDS ARE CALM AT
BENNINGTON AND STILL SOUTHWESTERLY AT NORTH ADAMS. THE BOUNDARY IS
NOT EXPECTED CLEAR THE LOCAL AREA BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z/THURSDAY.
THE AIRMASS TO THE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY IS VERY MOISTURE WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1 1/2 AND 2 INCHES...SO HEAVY
RAINFALL IS OCCURRING WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. HAVE WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL OCCURRING TO THE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE SOUTH IN THE UNSTABLE AIRMASS.
EXPECTING WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED DEVELOP BY THIS
EVENING. WITH MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ONCE FRONT PASSES.
KGFL ALREADY IFR. THE BULK OF THE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO COME TO
AN END LATE TONIGHT GENERALLY BETWEEN 06-08Z/THURSDAY. HIGHER
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH BEHIND TO THE FRONT THURSDAY
WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR BY MID TO LATE MORNING CONTINUING
THROUGH THE DAY.
SOUTHERLY WINDS TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT...LIGHT AND VARIABLE IN
ITS THE VICINITY AND NORTHERLY BEHIND IT. GENERALLY NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS THURSDAY WITH NORTH-NORTHEAST AT KGFL DUE TO LOCAL
TOPOGRAPHICAL EFFECTS.
OUTLOOK...
THU NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
FRI-SUN NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
MON: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA.
.FIRE WEATHER...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WORK SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
TONIGHT. THE AIR MASS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY
HUMID. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR IN THE VICINITY OF THE
BOUNDARY AND SOME STORMS MAY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY
RAINFALL. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTROLS OUR
WEATHER LATE THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
A WET AND UNSETTLED PERIOD EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY WITH
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ABOVE 50 PERCENT THE ENTIRE PERIOD. GRADUAL
DRYING SHOULD OCCUR THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH RH VALUES DROPPING TO
55 TO 70 PERCENT. RH VALUES SHOULD INCREASE BACK TO 80 TO 100
PERCENT THURSDAY NIGHT AND DROP DOWN TO 35 TO 45 PERCENT FRIDAY.
AVERAGE RAINFALL OF WELL OVER A QUARTER INCH OR MORE IS LIKELY
OVER THE ENTIRE REGION THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY.
A DRYING TREND EXPECTED LATER THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR HERKIMER...HAMILTON...
FULTON...MONTGOMERY...SCHOHARIE...NORTHERN WARREN...WESTERN
SCHENECTADY AND WESTERN ALBANY COUNTIES THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.
BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE AFFECTING THE
REGION NOW. PWAT UP TO 2 INCHES...PRETTY GOOD DIVERGENCE ALOFT
NEAR THE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF A SOMEWHAT ANTICYLONIC JET
ALOFT...AND GOOD LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE COURTESY OF A SLOW MOVING
COLD FRONT ARE PRODUCE SLOW MOVING BANDS OF RAIN WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS THAT COULD TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREA. THE
AFOREMENTIONED AREA HAS THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE MOST RAINFALL WHICH
COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED IN AREAS WHERE THE 1 HOUR AND 3 HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
IS LOWEST. AREAS OUTSIDE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH COULD STILL SEE
SOME URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING.
WE ARE PROJECTING AN AVERAGE BASIN RAINFALL AROUND 1 INCH IN MANY
AREAS...2 INCHES OR A LITTLE HIGHER IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
AREA TO THE SOUTHERN GREEN MOUNTAINS AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRES. THIS
TYPE OF RAIN COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT WITHIN BANKFULL RISES ON
STREAMS AND RIVERS...SOME COULD EVEN REACH ACTION STAGE. THIS
TYPE OF RAIN WOULD NOT PRODUCE ANY OF OUR MAJOR TRIBUTARIES TO GO
OVER THEIR BANKS BUT THERE IS ALWAYS THAT SLIM CHANCE THAT IF
THUNDERSTORMS WERE TRAIN OVER A CRITICAL HEAD WATER...SOME MINOR
RIVER FLOODING COULD TAKE PLACE AS WELL.
THE COLD FRONT AND ITS ASSOCIATED RAINFALL WILL SLOWLY MOVE OUT ON
THURSDAY. IN ITS WAKE...LEFTOVER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY COULD
PRODUCE SOME ADDITIONAL RANDOM SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS BUT THESE
SHOULD NOT HAVE MUCH IF ANY ADDITIONAL IMPACT ON OUR HSA.
DRY FRIDAY...AND MAINLY DRY OVER THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH A STRAY
SHOWER OR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE ENTIRELY RULED OUT.
