The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
With high pressure situated just off the eastern seaboard, a southerly flow allowed for a very warm and humid air mass to move into western Massachusetts. Temperatures reached well into the 80s F with dewpoint temperatures into the 60s F as well. An approaching upper level disturbance, aided by a surface pre-frontal trough, allowed thunderstorms to develop in the late afternoon hours. Although instability was limited due to areas of cloud cover in place, thunderstorms were able to organize into lines. As a result, some of these thunderstorms became severe, producing damaging winds.
As the upper level disturbance and surface trough moved away, the threat for thunderstorms ended by the early evening hours.
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 27, 4:27 PM EST, 13 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 527 PM EDT WED MAY 27 2015 .SYNOPSIS... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL TAPER OFF OVERNIGHT...LEAVING WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS IN PLACE. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY WITH MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH AND WEST THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH LESS HUMID CONDITIONS. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE SATURDAY WITH MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... AS OF 5 PM EDT...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 227 REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL AREAS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HERKIMER...HAMILTON...WARREN...FULTON...MONTGOMERY AND SARATOGA COUNTIES...WHERE THE WATCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDS FROM SW VT INTO MUCH OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY FROM WASHINGTON/SARATOGA COUNTIES SOUTH TO THE ULSTER/DUTCHESS CO LINE. AREAS S AND E OF THIS LINE...SB CAPES REMAIN ABOVE 1000 J/KG...WITH SOME POCKETS OF 1500 J/KG. SO CAN NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN THESE AREAS. FARTHER N AND W...WHERE THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRED EARLIER...THE AIR MASS HAS BEEN WORKED OVER ENOUGH...AND THE SEVERE THREAT HAS ENDED. THIS LINE SHOULD CONTINUE MOVING E/SE...ENTERING BENNINGTON AND BERKSHIRE COS THROUGH 7 PM...AS WELL AS ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY. THIS LINE SHOULD REACH NW LITCHFIELD CO AS WELL BETWEEN 6 AND 7 PM. AFTER THIS LINE MOVES THROUGH...STILL CAN NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOPING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE UPPER HUDSON VALLEY/WESTERN ADIRONDACKS AND SOUTHERN VT SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET AS MID LEVEL COOLING AND HEIGHT FALLS SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT ANY RENEWED ACTIVITY SHOULD THEN DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING. THE MAIN COLD FRONT...AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REMAINS WELL WEST OF THE REGION ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THIS MAY ALLOW ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO APPROACH THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS TOWARD DAYBREAK. OTHERWISE...SOME PATCHY FOG/LOW CLOUDS COULD DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT GIVEN THE VERY MOIST LOW LEVELS FROM THE RAIN COOLED AIR. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... THURSDAY...THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL PASS ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY/MID AFTERNOON HOURS. THE MID LEVELS WILL BE A BIT COOLER TOMORROW...AND STILL WITH FAIRLY STRONG WINDS ALOFT. HOWEVER...THE LOW AND MID LEVELS WILL BE DRIER THAN TODAY. AT THIS TIME...HAVE INCLUDED MENTION OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATE MORNING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR AREAS MAINLY E OF THE HUDSON RIVER. IN THESE EASTERN AREAS...HAVE INCLUDED MENTION OF GUSTY WINDS/SMALL HAIL. CAN NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED MARGINALLY SEVERE CELL IN THE AFTERNOON...ESP FOR ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. OTHERWISE...DEEP MIXING IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT SHOULD ALLOW FOR GUSTY WEST/NORTHWEST WINDS TO DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON. SOME GUSTS COULD REACH UP TO 35 MPH. MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE LOWER/MID 80S IN VALLEYS AND MID/UPPER 70S ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THU NT-FRI NT...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN...PROVIDING MAINLY CLEAR SKIES. MID LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL BE RATHER HIGH...SO STILL EXPECT WARM TEMPS ON FRI...REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 80S IN LOWER ELEVATIONS...AND UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN. THU NT/FRI AM WILL BE COOLER...MAINLY IN THE LOWER/MID 50S. FRI NT/SAT AM WILL BE MILDER...WITH MAINLY 50S TO LOWER 60S. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... SAT-SUN...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE IN THE DAT SAT...AND PASS THROUGH SAT NT/EARLY SUN. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT A WAVE DEVELOPS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY...AS SOME UPPER LEVEL ENERGY FROM THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS POSSIBLY GETS CAUGHT AHEAD OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. SO...EXPECT SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS BY MID TO LATE MORNING...THEN SPREAD S AND E FOR MOST AREAS N AND W OF THE CAPITAL REGION BY MID AFTERNOON...THEN POSSIBLY INTO WESTERN MA/NW CT BY SUNSET. DEPENDING ON INSTABILITY...SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD OCCUR. SHOWERS SHOULD LINGER INTO SAT NT AND SUN AM...ESP FOR AREAS S AND E OF THE CAPITAL REGION. TEMPS ON SAT SHOULD REACH 85-90 IN VALLEYS...AND MID 70S TO LOWER 80S ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS. SAT NT/SUN AM MINS SHOULD FALL INTO THE 50S FOR MOST AREAS. COOLER ON SUN...WITH MAXES MAINLY IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S. SUN NT-WED...SHOWERS MAY LINGER ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS FOR SUN NT- MON...DEPENDING IF THE FRONT SLOWS DOWN. OTHERWISE...FAIR AND LESS HUMID OTHER AREAS...BEFORE HUMIDITY INCREASES AGAIN BY WED. TEMPS WILL BE AT OR A BIT BELOW SEASONABLE LEVELS. && .AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... A PRE FRONTAL TROUGH WITH ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE TAF SITES THROUGH ABOUT 24Z/01Z. SOME UNCERTAINTIES ABOUT EXACT TIMING...BUT SELECTED AN HOUR OF MVFR VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS AT EACH TAF SITE...WHICH CAN BE AMENDED OR SLIGHT TIMING DIFFERENCES AS THE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AND MOVE EAST. THERE MAY BE SOME VERY BRIEF IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS BUT AGAIN... THIS FAR OUT CAN AMEND TO INCLUDE IFR DEPENDING ON HOW THE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AND MOVE. AFTER ABOUT 01Z/02Z...THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE REGION...BUT A FEW LINGER SHOWERS COULD BE AROUND THROUGH ABOUT 04Z...WHEN WINDS SHOULD BECOME LIGHT AND SOME MVFR VISIBILITIES IN FOG AND SOME INTERVALS OF MVFR CEILINGS DEVELOP AT ALL THE TAF SITES. CONDITIONS COULD FLIRT WITH IFR AT KPSF AND KGFL AFTER 10Z...BUT CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES COULD LOWER AT ALL SITES THROUGH 10Z...BUT AGAIN...THE BEST CHANCE FOR IFR IS AT KPSF AND KGFL. BY 14Z...CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TO VFR AT ALL SITES. SOUTH WINDS AT 10 TO 15 KT...WITH SOME GUSTS AROUND 20 KT AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON...DIMINISHING TO 6 KT OR LESS TONIGHT. WINDS WILL TREND TO SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE MORNING AT 10 TO 15 KT. WINDS WILL TREND TO WEST BY 16Z-18Z AND INCREASE TO 15 KT OR GREATER BUT TIMING IS UNCERTAIN...

ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATE SAT INTO SUN. && .HYDROLOGY... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BROUGHT LOCALIZED RAINFALL AMTS OF BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES TO PORTIONS OF THE REGION TODAY. HOWEVER...MOST AREAS GENERALLY RECEIVED ONE TENTH...TO ONE THIRD OF AN INCH. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THU AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMTS OF UP TO ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH COULD OCCUR.
