The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A slow moving cold front moved from west to east across the region on Friday, May 16th. A southerly flow of air out of the Gulf of Mexico allowed for plenty of moisture to be available for this system to produce widespread heavy rain showers. As these slow moving showers repeatedly moved over the same area, flash flooding occurred in parts of the western Mohawk Valley in southern Herkimer County. This flooding resulted in the closing of a roadway in West Winfield. As the cold front pushed eastward and rain tapered off later in the day, flooding ending as water receded.
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 May 16, 12:17 PM EST, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
117 PM EDT FRI MAY 16 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...BRINGING A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAINFALL.
BEHIND THIS FRONT...COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE CONTINUED CHANCE FOR A RAIN
SHOWER ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 111 PM EDT...ANOTHER QUICK UPDATE TO INCREASE THE WIND GUSTS
ACROSS PARTS OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT...SRN VT...NRN
BERKSHIRES...N-CNTRL TACONICS...AND ERN CATSKILLS TO 30-40 MPH
WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND A
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING ALONG IT. THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAS BEEN
ACROSS THE WRN ADIRONDACKS...AND MOST SPECIFICALLY HERKIMER COUNTY
WHERE AN FFW HAS BEEN ISSUED DUE TO TRAINING OF THE RAINFALL...AND
DUAL POL RADAR ESTIMATES OF 1-1.5+ INCHES IN 3 HOURS OR SO.
THE THUNDER CHANCE HAS BEEN REDUCED TO ISOLATED OR SLIGHT CHC
BASED ON THE LATEST STABILITY PARAMETERS FROM THE GFS/NAM WHERE
THE SHOWALTER INDICES BARELY LOWER BELOW 0C...AND MUCAPES ARE LESS
THAN 250 J/KG. SOME SLIGHT TWEAKS THE POPS TRENDS...AND MAX TEMPS
BASED ON OBSERVED TRENDS.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THE PCPN AXIS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AS THE TROUGH GOES NEGATIVE TILT. EXPECTING
THAT THIS WILL RESULT IN HEAVIEST PCPN ACROSS THE AREA WHERE THE
WATCH IS IN EFFECT AS THIS WILL ACT AS THE PIVOT POINT FOR THE
MAIN PCPN AREA. HAVE ALSO ADJUSTED QPF AMOUNTS TO BETTER MATCH
WITH NERFC GUIDANCE. HAVE ALSO EXPANDED THE FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE
THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN WESTERN NEW ENGLAND WHERE UPSLOPE FLOW WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN ENHANCED RAIN FALL AMOUNTS. EXPECT ING A TOTAL
THROUGH TONIGHT OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN THE
WATCH AREA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
INSTABILITY LOOKS WEAK OVER OUR REGION...BUT LOW LEVEL JET FORCING
AND FRONTOGENESIS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT COULD
SUPPORT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THE BAND OF MODERATE RAIN
THIS AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. GUIDANCE AND ENSEMBLES SUGGEST THE UPPER
ENERGY BECOMES A LITTLE MORE PROGRESSIVE AS DOES THE EASTWARD
MOVEMENT OF THE BAND OF RAIN THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. THERE
ARE ALSO INDICATIONS OF SOME TERRAIN ENHANCEMENT TO THE
PRECIPITATION IN WESTERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT.
TOTAL RAINFALL IN WESTERN NEW ENGLAND IS EXPECTED TO BE UNDER
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE BUT IT COULD BE CLOSE IN SOME AREAS DEPENDING
ON THE MOVEMENT OF THE BAND OF RAIN AND THE CHARACTER OF ANY
CONVECTION THAT FORMS LATER TODAY. WILL HIGHLIGHT POSSIBLE URBAN
AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD THREAT IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...AS
WELL AS THE POSSIBLE NEED FOR A FLASH FLOOD WATCH LATER TODAY IF
CONDITIONS SUPPORT MORE OF A THREAT FOR MORE RAIN THAN CURRENTLY
FORECASTED.
ONCE THE RAIN EXITS LATE TONIGHT...WINDS SHOULD SHIFT TO LIGHT
WEST AND NORTHWEST...WITH SOME POSSIBLE BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
TOWARD SUNRISE. LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD BE IN THE 40S TO LOWER 50S
SINCE THE FRONT SHOULD CLEAR ALL AREAS BEFORE SUNRISE.
ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...UPPER ENERGY SLOWLY DEVELOPS INTO AN
UPPER CUT OFF LOW OVER OUR REGION...BUT IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR
THE UPPER COLD POOL TO TRACK OVER OUR REGION. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY...BUT SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE
ALONG WITH SOME DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTIVE CLOUDINESS AS UPPER
LEVELS DO COOL...AND UPPER ENERGY TRACKS AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF
THE DEVELOPING UPPER LOW. BASED ON MIXED CLOUDS AND SUN AND COOLER
BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES...HIGHS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY IN THE
LOWER 70S...WITH MID TO UPPER 60S IN HIGHER TERRAIN.
WILL JUST KEEP AN EYE ON FROST POTENTIAL FOR THE LAKE GEORGE
SARATOGA REGION AND WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY NIGHT BUT FOR NOW IT LOOKS LIKE LOWS SHOULD BE IN THE UPPER
30S TO MID 40S. IF MORE CLEARING IS EXPECTED...TEMPERATURES COULD
GET A LITTLE COOLER...BUT WE WILL SEE.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MUCH OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD LOOKS TO FEATURE NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WITH NO SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEMS EXPECTED TO IMPACT
THE REGION THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTHWARD ACROSS NEW ENGLAND
MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. OUR AREA WILL BE ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE LOW CENTER...SO ONLY SCATTERED SHOWER COVERAGE IS EXPECTED
WITH GENERALLY LIGHT QPF. THE UPPER LOW CENTER WILL SHIFT WELL SOUTH
AND EAST OF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST ON TUESDAY...ALTHOUGH SOME
WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE AND LINGERING TROUGHINESS MAY ALLOW FOR
SCATTERED SHOWERS TO PERSIST ACROSS WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.
A BRIEF DRY PERIOD IS EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...AS
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION. HOWEVER...MORE
UNSETTLED WEATHER MAY DEVELOP BY THURSDAY AS THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES
NORTHWESTERLY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES TO
RESULT IN INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS. DEPENDING ON HOW DEEP THE
UPPER TROUGH IS ABLE TO DIG ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CONUS...IT COULD BE
RATHER COOL AND DAMP TO END THE WORK WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE REGION WILL REMAIN IN A MOIST AIR MASS THROUGH THE NEXT 12 TO
18 HOURS...AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL PERSIST FROM THE SOUTH TO
SOUTHEAST WITH A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WITH WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE
MOVING ALONG IT APPROACHING FROM CENTRAL NY AND PA. ONLY LIGHT
RAIN SHOWERS WILL IMPACT THE TERMINALS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON UNTIL
THE COLD FRONT EVENTUALLY TRACKS THROUGH THE AREA LATER TODAY.
MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED FOR THE
KALB/KGFL/KPOU/KPSF TERMINALS STARTING EARLY THIS EVENING AND
ENDING LATE TONIGHT.
MVFR CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY DETERIORATE TO IFR LATE THIS AFTERNOON
ESPECIALLY AT KALB/KPSF/KPOU/KGFL.
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO BE MENTIONED IN THE TAFS
THROUGH THE FIRST 4-6 HOURS OF THE FORECAST...AS A SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE AREA.
SURFACE WINDS WILL BE SOUTHEASTERLY AROUND 10-20 KTS WITH GUSTS
OVER 30 KTS AT TIMES.
OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
SUNDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. ISOLATED SHRA...TSRA.
SUNDAY NIGHT: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. ISOLATED SHRA.
MONDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA.
MONDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
TUESDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
TUESDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
WEDNESDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATER TODAY AND
TONIGHT...BRINGING A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAINFALL. BEHIND THIS
FRONT....COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE CONTINUED CHANCE FOR A RAIN
SHOWER.
RAIN WILL BRING 1 TO LOCALLY MORE THAN 2 INCHES OF RAIN TO THE
REGION TODAY AND TONIGHT. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED SATURDAY WITH
MINIMUM RH VALUES RANGING BETWEEN 30 AND 45 PERCENT.
WINDS WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 15 MPH TODAY...SOUTH
TO WEST AT 5 TO 15 MPH TONIGHT AND WEST AT 5 TO 10 MPH ON
SATURDAY. SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS IN SOUTHERN VERMONT AND THE
NORTHERN BERKSHIRES COULD BE 15 TO 25 MPH LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
MINOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED ON SOME AREA RIVERS OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. WE HAVE ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE AREA WHERE WE
HAVE THE MOST CONFIDENCE OF HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURRING...NAMELY FROM
THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS THROUGH THE MOHAWK VALLEY AND INTO THE
EASTERN CATSKILLS IN THIS AREA 1.5 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN IS EXPECTED.
THE FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF WRN NEW
ENGLAND...EXCEPT ERN WINDHAM CTY. TOTAL RAINFALL IN WESTERN NEW ENGLAND
IS EXPECTED TO BE 1.5 TO 2.5 INCHES...WHICH IS CLOSE TO FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE IN 3 HRS. ALSO...BENNINGTON ALONG THE WALLOOMSAC...AND
WILLIAMSTOWN ON THE HOOSIC RIVER ARE STILL FORECASTED TO HAVE
MINOR FLOODING BASED ON THE NERFC LATEST FORECASTS.
THE REMAINDER OF THE HSA CAN EXPECT 1.0 TO 2.5 INCHES OF RAIN WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THE TIMING OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL BE
FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.
DRIER WEATHER WILL PERSIST ON THE WEEKEND WITH A JUST A SLIGHT TO
LOW CHC OF SHOWERS DUE TO THE UPPER LEVEL LOW...ESPECIALLY ON
SUNDAY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS LOOKS LIGHT. DRIER WEATHER RETURNS EARLY
IN THE WEEK
