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 wind damage to trees and some damaging lightning strikes.
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, 1:05 PM EST, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
205 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.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS
AND MOHAWK VALLEY FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT.
HEAVIER RAIN DEVELOPING INTO A BAND AND SLOWLY BUILDING EAST AND
SOUTH. HEAVY RAIN HEADING FOR THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND AREAS
OF THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS THAT HAVE RECEIVED 1 TO A LITTLE OVER
2 INCHES OF RAIN SINCE LAST NIGHT. KEEPING A CLOSE EYE FOR NUISANCE
FLOODING...MAYBE ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING WITHIN THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH AREA. SOME ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE CELLS DEVELOPING IN THE
EASTERN CATSKILLS AND HELDERBERGS THAT MAY HAVE TO BE WATCHED FOR
SOME URBAN AND SMALL STREAM ISSUES IN EASTERN NY AND WESTERN NEW
ENGLAND IF IT EVENTUALLY EXPANDS IN COVERAGE. TEMPERATURES HAVE
WARMED QUICKLY TOWARD FORECAST LEVELS BUT CLOUDS AND ADVANCING
RAIN SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES NEARLY STEADY THROUGH THE REST OF
THE AFTERNOON. JUST SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON BASED ON CURRENT OBSERVATIONS AND TRENDS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 600 AM FOR OUR
NORTHWESTERN ZONES.
BY THIS EVENING...WE ANTICIPATE A LINE OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN MOVING SOUTHWARD INTO THE CAPITAL REGION
AND POINTS SOUTHWARD. THE 00Z GFS ACTUALLY KEPT MOST OF THE HEAVIER
RAIN NORTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION AS DO SOME OF THE OTHER OPERATIONAL
MODELS. AGAIN THAT IS WHY WE ISSUED THE FLASH FLOOD IN NORTHWESTERN
AREAS...AT LEAST FOR NOW.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY END UP EVERYWHERE THROUGH THE
NIGHT BEFORE EXITING TOWARD DAYBREAK.
THE FRONT...AND ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE WAVE...WILL CROSS THE ENTIRE
REGION BY EARLY THURSDAY. HOWEVER...LINGERING MOISTURE EVEN BEHIND
THE FRONT ALONG WITH INSTABILITY COULD MEAN A FEW SHOWERS OR A
THUNDERSTORM COULD POP UP DURING THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THEREFORE WE
KEPT LOW POPS IN THROUGHOUT THURSDAY (30). THIS HOLDS TRUE
ESPECIALLY IF WE WERE TO SEE INCREASING SUNSHINE WHICH LOOKS LIKE A
GOOD BET.
A BREEZE WILL PICK UP FROM THE WEST 5 TO 15 MPH.
HIGH PRESSURE FROM HUDSON BAY WILL BEGIN TO BUILD DOWN BY LATE
THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS SHOULD PRETTY MUCH CLEAR US OUT
AND SLOWLY DROP DEWPOINTS FROM THE 60S BACK DOWN INTO THE 50S...AND
EVEN SOME UPPER 40S UP NORTH.
THE WIND LOOKS GO CALM...SO THE COMBINATION OF A LINGERING MOISTURE
GROUND AND COOLER TEMPERATURES COULD LEAD TO PATCHES OF GROUND FOG.
WE WENT AHEAD AND ADDED PATCHY FOG TO THE VALLEY AREAS FOR NOW
FRIDAY NIGHT.
FRIDAY LOOKS DRY. SUNSHINE WILL MIX WITH A GOOD DEAL OF FAIR WEATHER
AFTERNOON CU. WHILE WE CANNOT ENTIRELY RULE OUT A POP-UP SHOWER FOR
NOW...WE HAVE LEFT ANY MENTION OF SHOWERS OUT (POPS AROUND 10
PERCENT).
REGARDING TEMPERATURES...
OVERNIGHT LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE MUGGY 60S EVERYWHERE...CLOSE
TO 70 ALBANY SOUTHWARD.
HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY. LOWS
THURSDAY NIGHT WILL COOL DOWN TO AROUND 60 ALBANY SOUTHWARD...50S
MOST OTHER PLACES.
FRIDAY...LOOK FOR HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S AND LOWS
FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE 50S...EXCEPT MID TO UPPER 40S ACROSS THE
ADIRONDACK PARK. WE THREW IN PATCHY FOG AGAIN FOR FRIDAY. OTHERWISE
IT WILL BE MAINLY CLEAR AND CALM.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PERIOD IS EXPECTED TO START OFF DRY ON SATURDAY AS A
LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS PARKED OVER THE REGION. BY SUNDAY
THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES EAST TO THE EASTERN SEABOARD AS A
WARM FRONT PUSHES INTO WRN NY. HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE POPS
AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. MONDAY AND TUESDAY LOOK TO BE MORE UNSETTLED
AS FIRST A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE FA ON MONDAY
FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT ON TUESDAY. HAVE ADDED THUNDER TO THE
FORECAST ON TUESDAY AS THE SHOWALTER INDICES ARE NEGATIVE.
TEMPS DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD LOOK TO BE ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS
ON SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S AND HIGHS ON
TUESDAY MAINLY IN THE 80S. LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE UPPER 50S
TO UPPER 60S SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE GRADUALLY
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AS A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE
TROUGH APPROACHES. THE BOUNDARY IS 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 WILL OCCUR WITH SOME STORMS.
SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE REGION AS
THE BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH.
WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH THE CONVECTION. HAVE NOT INCLUDED THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE INDIVIDUAL TAF SITES SINCE DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE FOR TIME OF
OCCURRENCE. AS THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH AND BEHIND IT MVFR-IFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. 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.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE IN THE VICINITY OF
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH NORTHWEST TO NORTH FLOW DEVELOPING BEHIND
THE FRONT THURSDAY.
OUTLOOK...
THU NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. PATCHY FG.
FRI: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
FRI NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. PATCHY FG.
SAT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
SAT NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
SUN-SUN NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
MON: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SLOWLY SOUTH ACROSS OUR REGION THROUGH
TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE OFFSHORE THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD OVER NEW ENGLAND LATE THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AND
SETTLE JUST OFFSHORE SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
A WET AND UNSETTLED PERIOD EXPECTED TODAY THROUGH EARLY
THURSDAY WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ABOVE 50 PERCENT THE ENTIRE
PERIOD...AND NEAR 100 PERCENT AT NIGHT. THERE WILL BE SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS WORKING FROM THE ADIRONDACKS THIS
MORNING...INTO THE CAPITAL REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON...THE AREAS
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION BY EVENING. IT WILL NOT BE
ENTIRE WASHOUT BUT ANY OF THE RAINFALL COULD BE HEAVY.
AVERAGE RAINFALL OF 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 OUR NORTHWESTERN
COUNTIES...HERKIMER/HAMILTON/FULTON/MONTGOMERY AND NORTHERN WARREN
FROM THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.
IT LOOKS AS IF THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION MIGHT VERY WELL
TAKE PLACE IN THIS AREA LATER TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING. PWAT AIR
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 COULD PRODUCE SLOW
MOVING 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 REMAINDER OF OUR HYDROLOGICAL SERVICE AREA (HSA) COULD CERTAINLY
SEE SOME TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS AND PERHAPS SOME LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING...OR AT LEAST PONDING OF WATER...BUT AT THIS TIME THE
THREAT APPEARED TO LOW (LESS THAN 50 PERCENT) TO INCLUDE THEM IN A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT LEAST FOR NOW.
WE ARE PROJECTING AN AVERAGE BASIN RAINFALL AROUND 1 INCH OR SO FROM
ALBANY SOUTHWARD...2 INCHES OR A LITTLE HIGHER IN THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH AREA. THIS TYPE OF RAIN COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT WITHIN
BANKFULL RISES ON STREAMS AND RIVERS MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF
ALBANY...SOME COULD EVEN REACH ACTION STAGE. THIS TYPE OF RAIN WOULD
NOT PRODUCE ANY OR 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.
