The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A slow-moving frontal boundary was situated close to the region across far northern New York. With an unseasonably warm and humid air mass in place, showers and thunderstorms developed across the southern Adirondacks during the afternoon and evening hours on Monday, May 11th. Along with heavy rainfall, these thunderstorms produced gusty winds. One of the thunderstorms produced winds strong enough to down a tree in the town of Bolton.
Showers and thunderstorms diminished by the late evening hours as the front slowly lifted to the north as a warm front.
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 11, 3:31 PM EST, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
431 PM EDT MON MAY 11 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND WILL BRING
MORE WIDESPREAD CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY BEFORE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH OUR REGION.
VERY WARM TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH INCREASING
HUMIDITY LEVELS. THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL USHER IN MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER AIR BY WEDNESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF LATE THIS AFTERNOON A STATIONARY FRONT LAY ACROSS CENTRAL
AND WESTERN NEW YORK AND CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND WITH MOST OF THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FIRING ACROSS THE FA NORTH AND ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY.
FOR TONIGHT IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY HUMID WITH HIGH PWAT
VALUES AT LEAST 2 TO 2.5 SD ABOVE NORMAL. MORE ORGANIZED SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP MAINLY NORTH
AND WEST OF THE GREATER CAPITAL DISTRICT THIS EVENING AS THE
UPPER DYNAMICS AND LOW LEVEL FORCING APPROACH OUR REGION. BY LATE
TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...THE BEST COVERAGE OF SHOWERS
AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE FROM THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY
THROUGH THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS.
LOWS OVERNIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE VERY MILD...MAINLY IN THE 60S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND THROUGH OUR FA DURING THE MID DAY
HOURS TO EARLY AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS
SOUTHERN CANADA. SO THE BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION LOOK TO BE
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY. EXPECT HIGHS ON TUESDAY IN
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 80S WITH TEMPS FALLING LATE IN THE DAY AS COLD
AIR ADVECTION TAKES HOLD.
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL EAST
OF THE REGION BY TUESDAY EVENING. HOWEVER...THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS AND AN ASSOCIATED SFC TROUGH WILL BE MOVING ACROSS
MOST OF THE FCST AREA TUE NIGHT INTO WED WITH A SLIGHT TO LOW CHC
OF SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY FROM THE CAPITAL REGION...NRN
CATSKILLS...AND BERKSHIRES NORTHWARD. IT WILL BE BRISK AND MUCH
COOLER TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WITH LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE
UPPER 30S TO UPPER 40S AND HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY IN THE MID 50S TO
MID 60S.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WILL BE MARKED BY CLEAR SKIES AND
COOL CONDITIONS WITH FROST POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS
TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S TO UPPER 30S. WILL HIGHLIGHT
THIS IN THE HWO EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS WHERE THE
GROWING SEASON HAS NOT STARTED YET. HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL BE IN
THE 60S.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE PERIOD STARTS OUT DRY...BUT DIFFUSE OR WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARIES
WILL BRING AT LEAST A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. THEREAFTER...THE HUMIDITY WILL HANG AROUND...BUT MOST
LOCATIONS WILL BE LOOKING AT ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS.
INSTABILITY APPEARS TO BE TOO LOE FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE FROM A RANGE OF LOWER AND MID 60S TO
THE MID 70S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...TO FROM THE LOWER AND MID 70S TO
THE LOWER AND MID 80S ON SUNDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL ALSO MODERATE
EACH DAY...STARTING OUT WITH A THURSDAY NIGHT RANGE FROM THE UPPER
30S TO UPPER 40S...AND CULMINATING WITH SUNDAY NIGHT LOWS IN THE MID
AND UPPER 50S.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOCATED CLOSE TO THE REGION OVER THE
ADIRONDACKS WILL HELP FOCUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. THE LATEST 3KM HRRR
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS SHRA/TSRA COULD COME CLOSE TO KALB/KGFL AFTER
ABOUT 20Z AND THRU ABOUT 00Z AT KALB AND 03Z AT KGFL. WILL ALLOW
FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WITHIN ANY SHRA/TSRA. IFR
CONDITIONS CANNOT TOTALLY BE RULED OUT...BUT CONFIDENCE ON THIS
OCCURRING IS LOW DUE TO RATHER SCATTERED NATURE OF ACTIVITY...SO
WILL NOT INCLUDE IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME.
FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST AT KPSF/KPOU...ACTIVITY COVERAGE LOOKS
LESS...SO WILL ONLY INCLUDE A VCSH FOR KPSF...AND NO MENTION AT
KPOU THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
WINDS THIS AFTN INTO THIS EVENING WILL BE SOUTHERLY AT AROUND 10
KTS. THERE MAY BE A FEW HIGHEST GUSTS AT KALB/KPSF.
THERE SHOULD BE A LULL IN THE RAINFALL ACTIVITY FOR MOST OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD...AND COLD FRONT
REMAINS OFF THE WEST AROUND THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.
HOWEVER...MOIST LOW LEVELS WITH PERSISTENTLY MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL ALLOW FOR SOME MVFR CIGS/VSBY LATE TONIGHT...ESP FOR
KPSF/KPOU...WHERE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME LIGHT/CALM.
SOME MORE SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE PASSAGE OF FRONTAL
BOUNDARY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AS IT FINALLY REACHES OUR AREA FROM
THE WEST. SHOWERS SHOULD END BY THE LATE MORNING...AS COLD FRONT
PASSES THROUGH AND WINDS BECOME WEST...AND BECOME GUSTY. CIGS
SHOULD QUICKLY CLEAR OUT FOR ALL SITES BEHIND THE FRONT.
OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY. ISOLATED SHRA.
WEDNESDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. WINDY. ISOLATED SHRA.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY. NO SIG WX.
THURSDAY TO FRIDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
FRIDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
SATURDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR BERKSHIRE COUNTY FROM 11 AM UNTIL 8 PM ON
TUESDAY.
A COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND WILL BRING
MORE WIDESPREAD CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY BEFORE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH OUR REGION.
VERY WARM TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH INCREASING
HUMIDITY LEVELS. THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL USHER IN MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER AIR BY WEDNESDAY.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL RECOVER TO 85 TO 100 PERCENT
TONIGHT...DROP TO 30 TO 45 PERCENT ON TUESDAY...RECOVER TO 70 TO
100 PERCENT TUESDAY NIGHT...AND DROP TO 35 TO 50 PERCENT ON
WEDNESDAY.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST AT LESS THAN 15 MPH
TONIGHT AND WEST AT 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20
MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH ON WEDNESDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THERE WILL BE GRADUALLY INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SPREADING SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH TUESDAY...AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACH AND EVENTUALLY MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION.
IT HAS BEEN VERY DRY ACROSS THE HYDRO SERVICE AREA IN RECENT WEEKS.
THERE IS A CHANCE OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH
THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHICH TRAIN...ALTHOUGH RAINFALL
WILL BE BENEFICIAL IN MOST PLACES DUE TO VERY DRY ANTECEDENT
GROUND CONDITIONS. BASIN-AVERAGE RAINFALL WILL NOT BE UNIFORM DUE
TO THE CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THE PRECIPITATION. THE WESTERN MOHAWK
VALLEY...SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND LAKE GEORGE SARATOGA REGION
HAVE THE BEST CHANCES TO SEE A HALF INCH TO INCH OF RAIN OR MORE THROUGH
TUESDAY. THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY...CAPITAL DISTRICT TO SOUTHERN
VERMONT AND POINTS SOUTH ARE EXPECTED TO GET A TENTH OF AN INCH
TO A THIRD OF AN INCH WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS.
