The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
The combination of an approaching cold front and potent upper level jet allowed for some thunderstorms to develop in the late afternoon and early evening hours on Friday, May 30th. A few of these thunderstorms became severe, producing hail to the size of quarters and wind damage to trees and power lines. Thunderstorm activity waned by later in the evening, as the front moved to the east of the region.
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 30, 3:35 PM EST, 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 435 PM EDT FRI MAY 30 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT...ALLOWING ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO END EARLY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST OVER THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE COULD BRING ISOLATED SHOWERS TO AREAS MAINLY EAST OF THE HUDSON RIVER SATURDAY. OTHERWISE...FAIR WEATHER...AND WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... AS OF 430 PM EDT...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE OCCURRING FOR MOST AREAS NEAR AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 90...WITH LESS COVERAGE FURTHER SOUTH. THE COMBINATION OF INCREASING LOW LEVEL LIFT FROM A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH...AND FAIRLY STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WITH THE APPROACH OF A STRONG SHORTWAVE OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC...HAS ALLOWED THE AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND SOME TSTMS TO INCREASE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS...DESPITE FAIRLY LIMITED INSTABILITY WITH SBCAPES GENERALLY IN THE 250-500 J/KG RANGE. THE PRESENCE OF A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET MAX TRANSLATING SOUTH SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION HAS ALSO GREATLY CONTRIBUTED TO SYNOPTIC SCALE ASCENT...WITH MUCH OF EASTERN NYS WITHIN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THIS JET MAX. AS THE AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES CONTINUE SETTLING SOUTHWARD OVER THE NEXT 1-3 HOURS...THE AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO INCREASE FROM N TO S. STILL CAN NOT RULE OUT AT LEAST SOME SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS WITHIN ANY TALLER CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS...THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. EVENTUALLY...THE COMBINATION OF DECREASING INSTABILITY...AND WEAK SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE SHORTWAVE SHOULD ALLOW THE AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DECREASE RAPIDLY AFTER 8-10 PM...LAST ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND NW CT. ANOTHER COMPACT SHORTWAVE MAY ALSO ALLOW ADDITIONAL ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS TO PERSIST UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT FOR PORTIONS OF THE UPPER HUDSON VALLEY AND EASTERN MOHAWK VALLEY. SOME CLEARING IS EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT. WITH LIGHT WINDS...SOME PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP IN AREAS WHICH RECEIVED RAINFALL TODAY. MIN TEMPS SHOULD FALL INTO THE 40S IN MOST AREAS...EXCEPT AROUND 50 CLOSE TO THE IMMEDIATE CAPITAL REGION AND MID HUDSON VALLEY. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... SATURDAY...ADDITIONAL UPPER LEVEL ENERGY SPILLING SOUTH/SOUTHWEST ACROSS WESTERN NEW ENGLAND MAY ALLOW FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS TO DEVELOP...MAINLY FOR AREAS EAST OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. INSTABILITY APPEARS EVEN MORE LIMITED THAN TODAY...AND SYNOPTIC LIFT SHOULD BE WEAKER...SO WILL NOT MENTION ANY THUNDER AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE...THERE SHOULD BE SUNSHINE TO START THE DAY IN MOST AREAS...ESP NEAR AND WEST OF THE HUDSON RIVER. MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S IN MOST AREAS...ALTHOUGH MAY REMAIN A BIT COOLER ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS ACROSS WESTERN NEW ENGLAND WHERE CLOUDS AND SOME SHOWERS MAY PERSIST. IT ALSO MAY BE A BIT BREEZY AT TIMES SATURDAY...AS THE LOW LEVEL GRADIENT TIGHTENS A BIT WITH LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFF THE SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND COAST...AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. SOME WIND GUSTS OF 20-25 MPH OR EVEN HIGHER COULD OCCUR AT TIMES SAT AFTERNOON...ESP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE UPPER HUDSON VALLEY/LAKE GEORGE REGION AS THE NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW BECOMES CHANNELED. SAT NT-SUN NT...ANY CLOUDS/LINGERING SHOWERS SHOULD QUICKLY END SAT EVE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN DOMINATE FOR LATER SAT NT INTO SUN EVENING. CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS SHOULD ALLOW FOR RATHER CHILLY TEMPS SAT NT/SUN AM...WITH WIDESPREAD 40S EXPECTED...WITH EVEN SOME UPPER 30S POSSIBLE ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF WESTERN NEW ENGLAND...THE EASTERN CATSKILLS...AND THE ADIRONDACKS. AT THIS TIME...NO FROST HEADLINES ARE PLANNED...BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME PATCHY FROST LATE SAT NT ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN BENNINGTON/WESTERN WINDHAM/EASTERN BERKSHIRE CO...AND PERHAPS INTO HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE CENTRAL TACONICS. SUN MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH 75-80 IN MOST VALLEYS...AND UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS. FOR SUN NT...SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS MAY ARRIVE FROM THE NORTHWEST IN ADVANCE OF A STRONG SURGE OF WARMTH AND MOISTURE. EXPECT MIN TEMPS TO FALL INTO THE LOWER/MID 50S IN MOST VALLEY AREAS...AND 45-50 ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... THIS WILL BE A GENERALLY WET PERIOD...THAT IMPROVES TOWARD THE END. LOW PRESSURE FROM THE NORTHERN PRAIRIE WILL DEEPEN AS IT HEADS UP ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES...AND NORTHEAST THROUGH CENTRAL ONTARIO AND QUEBEC PROVINCES THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A SECONDARY LOW WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD FRONT THAT WILL EXTEND SOUTHWEST OF THE LOW...HEADING EAST ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION THROUGH LATE TUESDAY. THIS LOW WILL PASS JUST SOUTH OF CAPE COD...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT BEHIND IT SOUTH TO THE VIRGINIAS ON THURSDAY...WHERE IT WILL BECOME STATIONARY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. ENOUGH HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WILL TAKE HOLD FROM JAMES BAY TO NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND TO KEEP THINGS MAINLY DRY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...BUT WITH ONLY PARTIAL SUNSHINE. NORTH ATLANTIC WRAPAROUND BEHIND THE SECONDARY LOW MAY HELP PROVIDE FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN ZONES WITH A FEW DAYTIME-HEATING-INDUCED SHOWERS FROM WIDELY SCATTERED CELLS. BUT THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WILL OCCUR TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WILL BE IN THE 70S AND LOWER 80S...WITH SOME UPPER 60S HIGHS POSSIBLE IN THE HIGH PEAKS OF THE ADIRONDACKS AND GREENS AFTER MONDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE MAINLY FROM THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHTS. COOLER MARINE AIR WILL RESULT IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT LOWS FROM THE LOWER 50S IN PORTIONS OF THE ADIRONDACKS AND GREENS...TO AROUND 60 DEGREES DOWN THE HUDSON VALLEY. THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE A LITTLE COOLER STILL...WITH LOWS FROM AROUND 50 DEGREES IN THE ADIRONDACK HIGH PEAKS...TO THE UPPER 50S DOWN THE HUDSON VALLEY. NORMAL HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURES IN ALBANY FOR THE FIRST WEEK IN JUNE ARE MID 70S AND MID 50S...RESPECTIVELY. && .AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME OCCASIONAL MVFR VISIBILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS...BEFORE MVFR/IFR FOG DEVELOPS LATE TONIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION. THIS AFTERNOON...SCATTERED SHOWERS...AND PERHAPS A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER...WILL OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS THE REGION. HAVE LEFT THE PREVAILING GROUPS AT VCSH AT THIS TIME...AND INTRODUCED TEMPO GROUPS BETWEEN 18Z-22Z TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY MVFR CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE SHOWERS. ALTHOUGH THE THUNDERSTORM PROBABILITY CONTINUES TO REMAIN LOW...ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT DOES DEVELOP AND MOVE OVER THE TAF SITES WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF PRODUCING SMALL HAIL AND BRIEF GUSTY WINDS. OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS...WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE NORTH/NORTHEAST AT 6-12 KNOTS. TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...SHOWERS WILL END FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THIS EVENING...AFTER PROVIDING SOME ADDITIONAL LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AS WELL ALLOWING FOR DIMINISHING WINDS AND CLEARING SKIES. COMBINED WITH THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND A STABLE BOUNDARY LAYER PROFILE...THERE WILL BE AN INCREASING THREAT FOR MVFR/IFR FOG...ESPECIALLY AT KGFL AND KPSF. FOG IS EXPECTED TO BE SHALLOW AT KALB AND KPOU BUT DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...IFR FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AT THESE SITES AS WELL AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR WITH ADDITIONAL TAF ISSUANCES. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT BEFORE BECOMING NORTHERLY AT 6-12 KNOTS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN AFTER 12Z SATURDAY AS SCATTERED STRATOCUMULUS AROUND 5 KFT FORM WITH DAYTIME HEATING TO END THE TAF PERIOD. OUTLOOK... SATURDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX. SUNDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX. SUNDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX. MONDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX. MONDAY NIGHT: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA.

ADDITIONAL ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON FOR AREAS MAINLY EAST OF THE HUDSON RIVER. OTHERWISE...GENERALLY FAIR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SUNDAY. THE RH WILL RECOVER TO 90-100 PERCENT TONIGHT...WITH WIDESPREAD DEW FORMATION EXPECTED. THE RH WILL THEN FALL INTO THE 35-45 PERCENT RANGE SAT AFTN...THEN INCREASE TO 90-100 PERCENT AGAIN FOR SAT NT/SUN AM...WITH WIDESPREAD DEW FORMATION LIKELY AGAIN. WINDS WILL BE NORTH TO NORTHEAST AT 5-15 MPH THIS EVENING...THEN MAINLY UNDER 5 MPH LATE TONIGHT. NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 10-20 MPH SATURDAY...THEN SHOULD BECOME LIGHT/VARIABLE FOR SAT NT. && .HYDROLOGY... RAINFALL AMTS THROUGH THIS EVENING WILL GENERALLY AVERAGE UNDER ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH...ALTHOUGH LOCALLY HIGHER AMTS COULD OCCUR. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMTS ON SAT SHOULD GENERALLY BE UP TO ONE TENTH OF AN INCH. THESE RAINFALL AMTS SHOULD HAVE NEGLIGIBLE EFFECTS ON AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS.
