The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
During the early morning hours on Wednesday, July 1st, a warm front lifted northward across eastern Upstate New York. An area of showers and embedded thunderstorms accompanied this warm front as it slowly moved across the region. Heavier bursts of rainfall repeated over the same portions of the eastern Catskills, with radar estimating up to three inches of rain falling in a short period of time. As a result of this, flash flooding occurred and several small streams overflowed their banks, which caused several roadways to be temporarily closed.
Behind this warm front, a warm and muggy air mass was in place over eastern New York. As the storm's cold front approached later in the day, scattered thunderstorms developed. A few of these thunderstorms became severe, producing damaging wind gusts. The threat for severe storms ended by evening, as the cold front crossed 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 Jul 1, 3:06 AM EST, 29 minutes earlier.

PWATS ACRS THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS GENERALLY IN THE 1.4 TO 1.6 INCH RANGE. THE BETTER DEEP SHEAR ACROSS THE ERN HALF OF THE FCST AREA WILL BE IN THE MORNING WITH 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 40-55 KTS. SOME BANDS OF CONVECTION MAY FORM IN THE STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. THE 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE GENERALLY IN THE 15-25 KT RANGE...BUT THE INSTABILITY IS LIMITED IN THE MORNING INITIALLY AT LESS THAN 500 J/KG...BUT IT MAY INCREASE TO 1000-1500 J/KG BASED ON THE LATEST GFS BY 18Z...AND THE NAM IS SIMILAR WITH ROUGHLY SBCAPES OF 1000-1500 J/KG WITH SFC DEWPTS IN THE 60S. HOWEVER...THE NAM LINGERS THE MODERATE AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY UNTIL 21Z AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...AND ANOTHER SHORT-WAVE. THE LEFT FRONT QUAD OF AN H500/H250 JET STREAK WILL ALSO BE APPROACHING CNTRL-ERN NY BTWN 18Z-00Z. THIS WOULD MEAN SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS...POSSIBLY ISOLATED OR SCATTERED SEVERE WOULD BE POSSIBLE IN THE MID TO LATE PM...IF ENOUGH SFC HEATING OCCURS. THE BETTER SHEAR IS DEPARTING IN THE MORNING...BUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THE 0-6 KM SHEAR SHOULD INCREASE AGAIN TO 30-40 KTS FOR SOME MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS/LINES WITH DAMAGING WINDS /BOWING SEGMENTS/ THE MAIN THREAT...AS THE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE GENERALLY 5-6 C/KM IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT STEEPER IN THE MORNING/VERY EARLY PM. HAIL LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE A SECONDARY THREAT. SPC KEEPS MOST OF THE FCST AREA IN A MARGINAL RISK. WE KEPT MENTION IN THE HWO OF GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL. IF THE CLOUD COVER REMAINS IN PLACE THE THREAT WILL BE GREATLY DIMINISHED FOR THE SEVERE POTENTIAL. HIGHS TODAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S NORTHWEST TO LOWER 80S SOUTHEAST. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

IT APPEARS THAT RISING MID/UPPER TROPOSPHERIC HEIGHTS AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS DURING THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST...ALTHOUGH SUBTLE SMALLER SCALE DISTURBANCES WILL STILL NEED TO BE WATCHED...ESPECIALLY ON SATURDAY. FOR SAT-SAT NT...THERE ARE STILL SOME HINTS THAT A NORTHERN STREAM IMPULSE MAY INTERACT WITH SOME MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH...LEADING TO AT LEAST FEW AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WILL KEEP LOW CHC POPS FOR MOST AREAS SAT AFTN-EVENING FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED TSTMS...ALTHOUGH FUTURE FORECASTS MAY STILL CONTINUE TO TREND MORE OPTIMISTIC IF FORECAST MODELS SUGGEST LESS INTERACTION BETWEEN IMPULSES/MOISTURE. TEMPS SHOULD BE NEAR NORMAL...MAINLY IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S IN VALLEYS...AND LOWER/MID 70S FOR HIGHER ELEVATIONS FOR HIGHS...AND MID 50S TO AROUND 60 FOR SAT NT/SUN AM MINS. SUN-MON NT...IT APPEARS THAT IN THE WAKE OF ANY POTENTIAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSAGE...HIGH PRESSURE AND RISING MID/UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS SHOULD RETURN FOR SUN-MON.
