The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A potent upper level shortwave trough was located over the eastern Great Lakes and headed eastward towards upstate New York on Friday, July 1st. In addition, a surface cold front associated with this feature was located west to the area and headed east for the afternoon into the evening hours. A southerly flow ahead of these features brought a warm and humid air mass to the region, allowing for the atmosphere to be unstable. As a result, showers and thunderstorms developed and tracked eastward between the mid afternoon and late evening hours.
Some of these thunderstorms became severe, producing damaging winds, especially for the Capital Region and mid-Hudson Valley. A few storms also produced quarter size hail. In total, media reported that nearly 10,000 customers lost power due to the thunderstorms. The thunderstorm damage was most significant in the city of Schenectady, where the cost of the damage totaled $203,154. A total of 109 trees and limbs were removed from just Schencetady alone, according to the Schenectady Finance Comissioner.
Thunderstorms ended by the late evening hours as the cold front across 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, 1:08 PM EST, 34 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albany NY 208 PM EDT FRI JUL 1 2016 .SYNOPSIS... After a dry morning, a frontal boundary will bring the chance for some showers and thunderstorms to the region this afternoon into the evening. Some of the thunderstorms may contain gusty winds or hail. Behind the front, it will be dry and less humid over the holiday weekend with continued seasonable temperatures. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Tornado Watch 313 is in effect for all of eastern New York and adjacent western New England until 10 PM this evening. A potent upper level shortwave is currently located over the eastern Great Lakes, with a surface cold front in place over eastern Lake Erie and central Ohio and headed eastward. At the current time, skies are currently partly to mostly cloudy over the region. Model projected CAPE values look to reach around 1000 J/kg by this afternoon, with surface dewpoints rising into the low to middle 60s, especially for southern parts of the Hudson Valley. 0-6 km bulk shear values rise to around 40 kts, mid level lapse rates will be around 6 deg C/km. Although these numbers aren't overwhelming, they should be enough for some storms to become strong to severe, with damaging winds, large hail and a possibility of tornadoes. Before clouds/precip move into the region this afternoon, temps should warm up into the upper 70s to mid 80s in most areas. The combination of seasonably warm temperatures and muggy levels of humidity will make it feel somewhat sticky out there (certainly not as bad as it could be, but considering since there have not been very many humid days this summer, it may be noticeable). && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... Some showers/t-storms may linger into the evening, but should be ending during the overnight hours as the cold front crosses the region from west to east. Humidity levels will start to fall with dewpoints dropping into the 50s for Saturday. With the upper level trough passing by to the north, there could be a pop-up instability rain shower for the western or central Adirondacks on Saturday, but most areas look to remain dry with just a partly to mostly sunny sky. Highs will mainly be in the upper 60s to upper 70s across the area. In addition, a westerly breeze will be gusty during the afternoon hours as well. Surface high pressure will be building into the region from the southwest for Saturday night into Sunday. This will keep the dry weather in place. Overnight lows on Sat night will be in the 50s (some upper 40s over the highest terrain). Highs on Sunday will be a little warmer than Saturday as temps aloft start to warm back up with the upper trough finally moving away. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s for valley areas with a mostly sunny sky. Dry weather will continue right into Sun night with clear skies and lows in the 50s. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Expecting fair and dry weather through at least mid week as broad ridging dominates. A front is forecast to be stalled to our south across the mid Atlantic region and a wave of low pressure is expected to move eastward along the boundary. Overall guidance indicates rainfall should remain well to our south as the wave moves of the mid Atlantic coast Tuesday. Guidance then indicates the longwave pattern should flatten becoming nearly zonal across the region as we head into the latter part of the week. Have maintained slight chance pops for Thursday as there are uncertainties to the position and movement of a upper level low over Hudson Bay Canada and how it may influence/impact our weather. Temperatures for Independence Day/Monday are expected to be seasonably warm with highs mainly ranging from the mid 70s to mid 80s. As we head through the week each day should be a couple degrees warmer across much of the forecast area each day with highs in the 80s even across much of the higher terrain by Thursday. Each day should also be a bit more humid which will be more noticeably at night with warmer lows each night. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A cold front will bring showers and thunderstorms to eastern NY and western New England this afternoon into this evening. The front will move move east of the region overnight. High Pressure will be gradually building in from the western Great Lakes Region and Midwest tomorrow. VFR conditions will lower MVFR/IFR conditions in increasing showers and thunderstorms btwn 20Z-00Z/SAT ahead of the front. Some gusty winds are possible with the thunderstorms...and VRB15G35KT wind groups were used in TEMPOs for KPSF/KPOU/KALB with any thunderstorms. The thunderstorms should diminish prior to 02Z south and east of KALB. Appreciable low-level moisture in the boundary layer coupled with clearing skies will allow for some some MVFR mist/stratus to form. It could be IFR...but our confidence is not high enough to place in the TAFS this far out. Increasing west winds in the wake of the front coupled with subsidence should allow the CIGS/VSBYS to return to VFR levels btwn 12Z-14Z/SAT. The winds will be southeast to south at 8-15 kts with gusts in the 20-25 kt range this afternoon...and then shift to the southwest to west at 5-10 kts this evening...before becoming west at 5-10 kts between 06Z-12Z. The winds will strengthen from the west at 10-15 kts in the late morning with gusts close to 25 kts. Outlook... Saturday through Wednesday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. && .FIRE WEATHER... RH values will only fall to 50 to 60 percent today with showers and thunderstorms possible this afternoon. South winds will be 10 to 15 mph today. These winds will switch to the west tonight around 5 to 10 MPH, along with RH values returning to near 100 percent. RH values will fall to 35 to 55 percent on Saturday afternoon. West winds will be 10 to 20 mph, with a few higher gusts possible. Dry weather is expected Saturday into Sunday. RH values may be as low as 30 to 40 percent on Sunday afternoon and west winds will be 10 to 15 mph. && .HYDROLOGY... Dry weather has been a common theme this year, with many reporting sites showing rainfall deficits of 3 to 7 inches below normal levels. According to the USGS, streamflow levels are running below normal over many parts of the region. The US Drought Monitor has much of the region in either the D0 (Abnormally Dry) or D1 (Moderate Drought) categories. An approaching cold front will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to the region this afternoon into this evening. Localized rainfall totals of over an inch are possible, although widespread rainfall amounts probably won't be enough to make a big dent in the rainfall deficits over the entire region. Despite the dry conditions, there is always the potential for localized minor flooding of urban or poor drainage areas if a heavy thunderstorm rainfall occurs over a vulnerable area. However, widespread flooding is not expected and river and stream levels will generally only show minor rises from today's rainfall or just hold steady into the weekend. Dry weather will then return to the region later tonight and be in place through at least early to mid next week.
