The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A very warm and humid air mass was in place over the region on Tuesday, July 8th. The region was ahead of a strong cold front that was moving eastward from the Great Lakes Region. Aided by a strong jet streak aloft and a potent upper level shortwave trough, the cold front triggered a line of thunderstorms that produced damaging winds across western and central New York.
The line of thunderstorms reached eastern New York during the evening hours. It continued to produce strong winds, which caused damage across the Adirondacks and Mohawk Valley and eventually into the Saratoga area, Capital Region and Hudson Valley as well. Many trees and power lines were downed across Herkimer County. In addition, a weak, brief tornado also occurred in the southeastern Adirondacks in North Creek. The line of thunderstorms moved eastward and weakened as they reached the border with New England by the late evening hours. As a result, 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 Jul 8, 5:45 PM EST, 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 645 PM EDT TUE JUL 8 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CROSS OUR REGION FROM WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING...POSSIBLY BRINGING DESTRUCTIVE WIND GUSTS...HEAVY RAINFALL...LARGE HAIL AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. THE COLD FRONT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS LINE OF STORMS WILL CROSS OUR REGION OVERNIGHT. IT WILL TURN A LITTLE LESS HUMID WEDNESDAY...BUT A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WORKING THROUGH COULD SPARK ADDITIONAL SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... AS OF 645 PM EDT...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL EASTERN NEW YORK STATE AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH MIDNIGHT. UPDATED THE PUBLIC PACKAGE TO INCLUDE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. A LINE OF BROKEN STORMS CONTINUES TO HEAD INTO CENTRAL NEW YORK...NOT FAR FROM HERKIMER. A TORNADO WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ONEIDA COUNTY. THIS STORM COULD TRACK INTO HERKIMER AFTER 700 PM. OTHER STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAVE BEEN NOTED UPSTREAM. THIS LINE WAS MOVING INTO INSTABILITY AROUND SURFACE BASED CAPES AROUND 2500 J/KG. LOOK FOR THE LINE TO WORK INTO HERKIMER AFTER 700 PM...THROUGH THE MOHAWK VALLEY AND NORTHERN CATSKILLS BETWEEN 800-900 PM. AFTER 900 PM THE CAPITAL REGION...LAKE GEORGE SARATOGA REGION...SOUTHERN CATSKILLS AND INTO THE MID HUDSON VALLEY. IF THIS LINE HOLDS TOGETHER...IT WILL REACH OUR WESTERN NEW ENGLAND AREAS BY 1000 PM EDT. WE HAVE ALREADY ISSUED A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT DISCUSSING THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS...HEAVY RAINFALL...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND PERHAPS EVEN LARGE HAIL. AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. AN UPSTREAM TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG...THE UPPER LEVEL JETSTREAM WILL INCREASE TO OVER 100KTS AND THE REGION JUST TO OUR WEST WILL COME UNDERNEATH THE BEST JET ENTRANCE REGION...THE LINE COULD STILL BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED AS IT MOVES INTO OUR REGION. THE ONLY MITIGATING FACTOR FOR US IS THAT THIS LINE WILL LIKELY NOT ARRIVE UNTIL NEARLY SUNDOWN...THEREBY WE LOOSE SOME HEATING OF THE DAY. BY MIDNIGHT...THE LINE OF STORMS SHOULD BE TO OUR EAST. IN ITS WAKE A COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW...BRINGING IN SOME DRIER AIR...FIRST ALOFT...EVENTUALLY AT THE SURFACE. THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER RENEGADE SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM OVERNIGHT BUT THE LION SHARE OF ACTION WILL BE DONE WITH OVERNIGHT. WE MIGHT HAVE SOME PATCHES OF FOG ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE THE SOUTHWEST BREEZE DIMINISHES AND GROUND IS ESPECIALLY WET FROM HEAVIER SHOWERS. LOOK FOR LOWS STILL ON THE MUGGY SIDE...GENERALLY IN THE 60S. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/... ON WEDNESDAY...OUR AREA WILL STILL BE A BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT WITH SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR (PWATS UNDER AN INCH) ACROSS OUR REGION TO START THE DAY. WITH A CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT...AND ONE MORE COLD FRONT TO WORK THROUGH...WE STILL LOOK TO BECOME UNSETTLED ONCE AGAIN BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY WITH A LITTLE MOISTURE RELOADING THAT COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. INSTABILITY LOOKS TO INCREASE TO ABOUT 1500 J/KG WITH LAPSE RATES UP TO 6.5 C/KM. THERE WILL ALSO BE A BRISK LOW LEVEL WIND OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AROUND 40KTS. THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY COULD AT THE VERY LEAST PRODUCE SOME SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. FOR NOW...WE DID NOT INCLUDE ENHANCED WORKING IN THE GRIDS SINCE THE CONFIDENCE OF STORMS IN ONLY IN THE 30 PERCENT RANGE. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE 80-85 HIGHER TERRAIN...75-80 ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THE SURFACE WIND WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST 10-15 MPH...SHIFTING TO WEST BY LATE IN THE DAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. ANY THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD QUICKLY DIMINISH BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. AFTER THAT IT WILL CLEAR OUT...TURNING A LITTLE COOLER AND DRIER WITH LOWS GENERALLY DIPPING INTO THE 50S. THURSDAY LOOKS LIKE A NICE WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE...COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY (DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S) AND HIGHS AROUND 80 IN THE VALLEYS...70S HIGHER TERRAIN. THURSDAY NIGHT LOOKS CLEAR AND COOL. LOWS BACK INTO THE 50S ALBANY SOUTHWARD...MID TO UPPER 40S WELL NORTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION. FRIDAY LOOKS LIKE A NICE DAY WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND CONTINUED LOWER HUMIDITY. HIGHS WILL BE 80-85 VALLEYS...75-80 HIGHER TERRAIN. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... TRANQUIL WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY AS WARM ADVECTION INCREASES AND TEMPERATURES REACH HIGHS IN THE 80S...SOME UPPER 70S IN HIGHER TERRAIN. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND SOME FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH AN ADVANCING WARM FRONT COULD SUPPORT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. HIGHS SUNDAY ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 80S...WITH MID TO UPPER 70S IN HIGHER TERRAIN. BY SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...SOME UPPER ENERGY TRACKING SOUTHEAST OUT OF CANADA AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH WITH INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS PREFRONTAL TROUGH TYPE CONVECTION INCREASES IN THE REGION. HIGHS MONDAY IN THE 80S...WITH MID TO UPPER 70S IN HIGHER TERRAIN. HIGHS TUESDAY IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S. AT THIS TIME...LONG RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE TUESDAY BUT AS ALWAYS THE TIMING COULD CHANGE AS WE GET CLOSER. && .AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE TERMINALS BETWEEN 01Z AND 03Z WITH HEAVY RAINFALL...GUSTY WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND POSSIBLE HAIL. AS OF 2150Z...DIURNAL CONVECTION HAS DIMINISHED SO WE REMOVED THE VCSH THROUGH 00Z. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR. THEN...A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE TOWARD THE TAF SITES AROUND 01Z. WE ARE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO PLACE VCTS/THUNDER IN THE TAFS BETWEEN 01Z-04Z. FOR NOW WE CAPPED WINDS AT VRB25KT...BUT THEY COULD GUST STRONGER THAN THAT. WE KEPT CONDITIONS AT THE HIGH END OF MVFR...BUT BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE. THE LINE LOOKS TO MOVE EAST BY 04Z. AFTER THAT...A COLD FRONT WILL PASS...SHIFTING THE WIND AND ALLOWING FOR SLOW DRYING. THE DILEMMA IS HOW FAST THIS DRYING ARRIVES. FOR NOW...WE DID PLACE MVFR CIGS IN ALL THE TAFS (LOW MVFR AT KPSF) AND MVFR MIST AT KGFL/KPSF. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AFTER THE MORNING PEAK THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. THE WIND WILL BE SW OR WEST AROUND 10KTS. THERE IS A CHANCE OF ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THE CHANCE WAS TOO LOW (JUST UNDER 30 PERCENT) TO PLACE IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. OUTLOOK... WEDNESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA. THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SUNDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHC OF SHRA/TSRA. && .FIRE WEATHER... A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CROSS OUR REGION THIS EVENING WITH A LEAST A QUARTER INCH OR MORE OF RAINFALL ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. HOWEVER...SINCE THE RAIN WILL FALL FOR ONLY A SHORT DURATION AND AT NIGHT...DID NOT ASSIGN A WET FLAG TO OUR NFDRS. DRIER WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY WITH RH VALUES DIPPING INTO THE 40S. HOWEVER...MOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED BUT NOT EVERYONE WILL LIKELY RECEIVE THEM. DRY WEATHER EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THE USUAL NEARLY FULL RECOVER (AND SOME DEW) AT NIGHT...AND SEASONABLE AFTER RH HUMIDITIES IN THE 30S TO 40 EACH AFTERNOON. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOKS TO BE SUNDAY PERSISTING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE SURFACE WIND WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST TONIGHT 5-15 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS...SOUTHWEST TO WEST AT SIMILAR SPEEDS WEDNESDAY...BECOMING NORTHWESTERLY AT 5-15 MPH ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS AND SHOWERS WILL HEAD ACROSS OUR REGION THIS EVENING. WHILE OVER AVERAGE RAINFALL BASINS WILL UNDER AN INCH...LOCALIZED MUCH HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE...POSSIBLY LOCALLY EXCEEDING TWO INCHES. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING BUT NOT ENOUGH AREA TO CONSIDER A FLASH FLOOD WATCH YET. SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO TOMORROW...BUT THE AIR MASS LOOKS TO BE REMAIN UNSTABLE FOR ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. AT THIS POINT...WE DO NOT EXPECT ANY SIGNIFICANT HYDRO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE USUAL LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER ON SOME ROADS AND AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE. DRY WEATHER THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
