The episode as NWS OKX wrote it up.
A strong low level shortwave swung through the Northeast with a trough at the surface. A line of strong, with embedded severe thunderstorms formed along the trough and pushed through the area late in the afternoon into the evening. Some of these storms produced heavy rainfall, which resulted in flash flooding in Brooklyn.
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 New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 2, 2:19 PM EST, 31 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
319 PM EDT WED JUL 2 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
BERMUDA HIGH REMAINS ANCHORED OFFSHORE AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST. THE HIGH DEPARTS TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT CROSSES
THE REGION THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR
IS FORECAST TO PASS SOUTH AND EAST OF LONG ISLAND FRIDAY NIGHT.
SEE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER ADVISORIES FOR DETAILS. HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
BUMPED UP POPS/COVERAGE FOR THE AFTN BASED ON MODEL/SAT/RADAR
TRENDS. HIGH CAPE VALUES...AN APPROACHING SURFACE TROUGH...WEAK
CAP...AND DECENT SHEAR WILL BRING THE PROBABILITY OF AT LEAST
STRONG CONVECTION...WITH POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO PARTS
OF THE FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY OVER WESTERN PORTIONS. STRONG
WIND GUSTS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING
APPEAR TO BE THE BIGGEST THREATS. HOWEVER...WITH HIGH CAPE IN THE
HAIL GROWTH ZONE AND DECENT BULK SHEAR...LARGE HAIL CANNOT BE
RULED OUT EITHER IN SPITE OF RELATIVELY HIGH WET BULB ZERO AND
FREEZING LEVEL HEIGHTS.
HEAT INDICES COULD TOUCH 100 FOR AN HOUR FOR SPOTS WEST OF THE
HUDSON. NOT ENOUGH COVERAGE FOR A HEAT ADVISORY...BUT HAVE ISSUED
AN SPS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
THERE IS A HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS FOR NYC AND WESTERN LONG
ISLAND BEACHES. STRONG SEA BREEZES WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON WITH
WINDS GUSTING TO 25 MPH.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
LOW LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING.
AGAIN...BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACROSS
WESTERN ZONES...BUT SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS COULD MAKE IT INTO
NYC THIS EVENING. WITH LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING...MOST OF THE
STORMS WILL LOSE THEIR STRENGTH OVERNIGHT...WITH WITH A NEARLY
SATURATED AIR MASS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN REMAINS A THREAT.
COLD FRONT TO THE WEST THEN APPROACHES LATE TONIGHT AND MOVES
ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH ABUNDANT
CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE REGION...TEMPS WILL BE AROUND 5 DEGREES
COOLER THAN TODAY...BUT HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL CREEP UP DUE TO THE
PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW. POSSIBLE FOR HEAT INDEX IN NYC TO TOP 95
ON THURSDAY. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 ACROSS
NYC...NE NJ...AND THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...AND IN THE MID 80S
MOST ELSEWHERE AND COOLER NEAR THE COASTS.
AS COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION...CAN EXPECT SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THIS FRONT
WILL INTERACT WITH TROPICAL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL
STORM ARTHUR. PWATS WILL REMAIN AROUND 2 INCHES. AS A
RESULT...HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN AND TRAINING OF
THUNDERSTORMS COULD RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ATTENTION CONTINUES ON THE FUTURE TRACK OF TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR
WHICH RESIDES OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. PLEASE REFER TO THE
LATEST NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER ADVISORIES FOR FORECAST TRACK AND
INTENSITY INFORMATION.
GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH AN UPPER TROUGH OVER
THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY...SHARPENING INTO THE NE FRIDAY NIGHT...AND
THEN INTENSIFYING NE OF THE REGION ON SAT AS IT EVENTUALLY PHASES
WITH ENERGY FROM ARTHUR. AT THE SURFACE A COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY
BE DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY MORNING...SLOWLY MOVING ACROSS
THROUGH THE DAY. AT THE SAME TIME...BASED ON OFFICIAL NHC
TRACK...WHICH IS NEAR THE CENTER OF VARIOUS TRACK GUIDANCES...
TROPICAL CYCLONE ARTHUR SHOULD BEGIN TO TURN NE FROM CAPE HATTERAS
AND GRADUALLY ACCELERATE NE ON FRI. THIS TRACK WOULD KEEP DIRECT
WIND AND RAIN IMPACTS FROM ARTHUR OFFSHORE.
MAIN LOCAL THREATS APPEAR TO BE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED TSTMS AHEAD/ALONG THE EASTWARD MOVING FRONT ON FRI AS IT
INTERACTS WITH DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE AHEAD OF ARTHUR AND
FAVORABLE UPPER JET DYNAMICS. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTIONS FOR MORE
DETAILS ON THE FLOODING THREAT. THE OTHER LOCAL THREAT WILL BE AN
INCREASING RISK FOR HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS LATE FRI
THROUGH SAT WITH LARGE SWELLS FROM ARTHUR AFFECTING THE SHORELINE.
SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS WITH THE INTERACTION OF THE UPPER
TROUGH AND ARTHUR...SO CONTINUE TO MONITOR NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER ADVISORIES AND LOCAL NWS FORECASTS FOR THE LATEST.
HIGH PRESSURE AND NW WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW WILL BRING
ANOTHER DRY...SEASONABLE AIR MASS INTO THE REGION FOR THIS WEEKEND.
A RETURN TO VERY WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS LIKELY EARLY NEXT WEEK
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OFFSHORE AND A RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS FROM
THE S/SW. DIURNAL TSTM ACTIVITY POSSIBLE BOTH MON AND TUE AFT.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY APPROACHES THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD...PRECEDED BY A SERIES OF PRE-FRONTAL TROFS.
THE FIRST TROF WILL INTERACT WITH A HIGHLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS JUST
WEST OF THE NYC TERMINALS LATE THIS AFT/EARLY THIS EVE...TRIGGERING
TSTMS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY
TERMINALS AND THEN WORK EAST INTO NYC. WEAKENING OF THE STORMS IS
EXPECTED AS THEY NEAR THE COAST DUE TO THE ONSHORE FLOW. REGARDLESS...
THIS WILL HAVE A HIGH IMPACT TO AIR TRAFFIC...SEE ZNY GRAPHICS.
S/SE WINDS 10 TO 15 KT WITH HIGHER GUSTS TO AROUND 20 KT CAN BE
EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING AS A
TROF AND WEAK SFC WAVE APPROACH OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT
AND VARIABLE INLAND...AND E/SE ALONG THE COAST. THERE IS SOME
UNCERTAINTY IN THE DIRECTION OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE
WEAK SFC WAVE.
THERE IS HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORMATION OF ANY COASTAL
STRATUS/FOG AND THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS OVERNIGHT.
ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG CONVECTION IS LIKELY TO IMPACT THE
TERMINALS THU AFT/EVE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NYC AND LOWER HUDSON
VALLEY TERMINALS.
