The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
Daytime heating lead to instability across Northern New York during the afternoon of July 13th. The lack of any surface winds accounted for isolated, nearly stationary storms to develop in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Two isolated thunderstorms produced wet micro burst that knocked down several trees in Mooers and Burke, New York.
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 Burlington, VT wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 13, 12:41 PM EST, 13 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT 141 PM EDT MON JUL 13 2015 .SYNOPSIS... ANOTHER WARM AND HUMID DAY IS EXPECTED TODAY WITH THE CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME STORMS COULD PRODUCE LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL. TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN WARM INTO THE 80S WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE 60S. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY ON TUESDAY EVENING...WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/... AS OF 1214 PM EDT MONDAY...HAVE UPDATED TO MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. CRNT RADAR SHOWS AREAL COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF SHOWERS/STORMS QUICKLY DEVELOPING OVER THE HIGHER TRRN WITH LIGHTNING. HAVE NOTED STORM TOPS UP TO 50 KFT WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER REFLECTIVITY NEAR SUGARBUSH. RAINFALL ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN 1 TO 2 INCHES IN ISOLATED AREAS OVER THE DACKS AND PARTS OF THE CENTRAL GREEN MTNS. WE WILL CONT TO WATCH THE THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM WITH CAPE VALUES AROUND 2500 J/KG. AN ISOLATED WET MICROBURST TYPE STORM...WITH MAYBE 1 INCH HAIL IF CORES CAN GROW ALOFT STRONG ENOUGH. ONCE AGAIN THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOTS OF LIGHTNING. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION AS OF 341 AM EDT MONDAY...WEAK RIDING ALOFT WILL GIVE WAY TODAY TO A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL BRING ALL SORTS OF DISTURBANCES ALOFT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A POTENTIALLY CHAOTIC SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON. THE IDEA FOR TODAY REALLY HASN'T CHANGED MUCH IN THE PAST 48 HOURS AS THE MODELS CONTINUE TO BE AGGRESSIVE WITH INSTABILITY PARAMETERS. THE NAM IS STILL FORECASTING 1500-2500 J/KG WHEREAS A LOCAL 4KM WRF IS IN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 800-1800 J/KG RANGE. MODEL CONSENSUS IN THE SHORT RANGE ALSO SHOWS GOOD LI'S >-5C AND PLENTY OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY WITH SHOWALTERS >-3C. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE ALSO INCREASING TO 6-7 DEG C/KM. HOWEVER THE SURFACE AND LOW LEVEL FORCING IS ALMOST NON EXISTENT AND 0-6KM SHEAR IS VERY WEAK. CURRENT MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW LIGHT 5-15KT UNIDIRECTIONAL SOUTHERLY FLOW UP TO NEARLY 25,000 FT! THE NET RESULT OF THIS WILL BE SCATTERED TO ISOLATED PULSE SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON THAT WILL POP VERY QUICKLY AND MOVE SLOWLY TOWARDS THE NORTH. EXPECT THE BEST SOURCE OF A TRIGGER TO BE OROGRAPHIC LIFT SO I FOCUSED THE BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS OVER THE MOUNTAINS. PW THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN NORMAL AT 1.3 TO 1.5" AND UPSTREAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUPPORT THAT AS THE 00Z MANIWAKI SOUNDING HAD 1.36" OF PW. SO ITS POSSIBLE SLOW MOVING SHOWERS COULD PRODUCE MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL OVER A SMALL AREA THIS AFTERNOON LEADING TO ISOLATED CASES OF FLASH FLOODING. AS THE HIGH MOVES IN AND THE NORTHWEST FLOW TURNS SOUTHERLY EXPECT CONTINUED WARMING ALOFT WITH 850MB TEMPS WARMING TO 15-17 DEG C SUPPORTING MAX TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON IN TO THE UPPER 80S AGAIN TODAY WITH 90 POSSIBLE AGAIN TODAY. && .SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 341 AM EDT MONDAY...MONDAY NIGHT WE LOSE THE DIURNAL HEATING AND THUS CONVECTION SHOULD TAPER OFF FAIRLY QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET. ITS POSSIBLE THAT AS THE LOW PRESSURE BUILDS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS WILL STILL BE WEAK ENOUGH TO SEE SOME FOG BUILD IN OVER THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY AND IN THE NORTHEAST KINGDOM. TEMPS OVERNIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE MID 60S BUT WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S EXPECT ANOTHER MUGGY EVENING TONIGHT. AS THE 700MB RIDGE GIVES WAY TO THE ADVANCING SHORTWAVE TROUGH TOMORROW WE WILL AGAIN SEE A CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. THERE WILL BE DECENT INSTABILITY AGAIN TOMORROW HOWEVER IT WILL MAINLY BE FOCUSED OVER NORTHERN NEW YORK. FLOW AT THE SURFACE AND 925 WILL STILL BE MOSTLY SOUTHERLY AS THE FRONT WONT BEGIN TO IMPACT THE AREA TILL LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. THE CHAOTIC PIECES OF ENERGY ALOFT WILL COMBINE WITH SURFACE CONVERGENCE AND SUPPORTIVE INSTABILITY TO ALLOW FOR SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS TO DEVELOP MAINLY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE ADIRONDACKS. I ANTICIPATE MOST OF VERMONT STAYING DRY TOMORROW THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING. TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL LIKELY BE A DEGREE OR TWO LOWER THAN TODAY WITH THE 850 AND 925 MB TEMPS COOLING JUST SLIGHTLY. THAT SAID 850 TEMPS IN THE 15-16 DEGREE RANGE WILL STILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF MID 80S IN THE SAINT LAWRENCE AND CHAMPLAIN VALLEYS. THERE IS A BIT OF INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE TIMING FROM THE GLOBAL MODELS AND THE HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS. I FELT THE NAM 4KM AND OUR LOCAL WRFS HAD A PRETTY GOOD HANDLE ON THE EVENT GIVEN THE MODERATE FORCING SO I PUT A HIGHER EMPHASIS OF THE FORECAST ON THE HIRES MODELS. WITH THAT SAID TIMING OF THE SURFACE FRONT SHOULD START TO REACH THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY LATE TUESDAY EVENING AND WITH IT I ANTICIPATE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS ENTERING THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY HOWEVER AS THE SYSTEM DROPS FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST THE WIND SHIFT WILL BE FASTER THAN THE SURFACE DEW POINT FRONT AND WHEN THAT MOVES INTO THE ADIRONDACKS THE CONSENSUS OF THE HIRES MODELS IS THAT THE SHOWERS WILL FALL APART AND BECOME UNORGANIZED. I TRIED TO SHOW THIS IN OUR CHANCES FOR RAIN BY CARRYING LIKELY CHANCES OVER THE UPSLOPE REGIONS OF THE ADIRONDACKS AND THEN TAPERING QUICKLY TO JUST CHANCE POPS OVER THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY AND THE REST OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN VERMONT. WITH THE FRONT COMING THROUGH IN THE EVENING WE LOSE MOST OF THE INSTABILITY AND WITH CONTINUED WEAK SHEAR IN THE MID TO LOW LEVELS EXPECT THIS FRONT TO MAINLY JUST BRING RAIN SHOWERS AND THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT IS MINIMAL. BEHIND THE FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING EXPECT MARGINALLY CLEARING SKIES WITH DRY AIR MOVING IN ALOFT AND MODERATE COLD AIR ADVECTION UNDER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO COOL DOWN BY 3-5 DEGREES OVERNIGHT IN WHAT SHOULD FEEL LIKE A MORE PLEASANT NIGHT. WEDNESDAY APPEARS TO BE A COMFORTABLE REPRIEVE BACK TO MORE SEASONABLE NEAR NORMAL TEMPS IN THE UPPER 70S AS A BROAD DOME OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 406 AM EDT MONDAY...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTHEAST FROM CANADA AND THE GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND WILL REMAIN OVER THE NORTH COUNTRY THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH FAIR AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THIS...THUS FORECASTER CONFIDENCE IS HIGH. MODELS SHOWING SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES THIS WEEKEND...WITH THE GFS MODEL SUGGESTING MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. THE ECMWF MODEL HOLDS OFF ON BRINGING PRECIPITATION INTO NORTHERN NEW YORK UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT. THUS...HAVE LOWERED THE POPS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND DELAYED THE ARRIVAL OF ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT. WILL CONTINUE IDEA OF PREVIOUS FORECAST OF A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. HOWEVER...GIVEN MODEL DIFFERENCES FROM FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...FORECASTER CONFIDENCE IN REGARDS TO TIMING OF PRECIPITATION IF ANY IS LOW. && .AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY...MAIN AVIATION CONCERNS WILL BE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND POTENTIAL FOR SOME PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER ADIRONDACKS AND GREEN MOUNTAINS. THEY WILL BE VERY SLOW MOVERS...AND ARE MOST LIKELY TO AFFECT TAF SITES MPV/SLK/RUT WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AS THEY DRIFT INTO THE VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN DISSIPATE THIS EVENING. MAINLY VFR OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT SOME FOG TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT WITH A PERIOD OF IFR POSSIBLE AT SLK/MPV BETWEEN 06Z-12Z. PERIOD OF MVFR POSSIBLE AT REST OF SITES IN BR/HZ. DURING TUESDAY...VFR WITH JUST SCATTERED CLOUDS THROUGH MIDDAY. INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. SOUTHERLY WINDS 7 TO 15 KNOTS AND GUSTY AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS INCREASE TO 10 TO 20 KNOTS TUESDAY. OUTLOOK 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... 18Z TUE-00Z THU...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH MVFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. 00Z THU-00Z SAT...MAINLY VFR AS HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE AREA. 00Z SAT-00Z SUN...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH MVFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES. && .BTV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
