The episode as NWS BGM wrote it up.
An upper-level trough brought along a cold front as it passed through Central New York. This system brough many thunderstorms to the region. Damaging wind gusts were the main hazard and some minor damage to personal property occurred.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 1104 AM EDT Tue Jul 12 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Scattered showers and thunderstorms developing this afternoon, with best chance for severe weather across Northeast Pennsylvania and the Catskills. Less humid and slightly cooler weather expected Wednesday into the end of the week with a few isolated showers or thunderstorms possible. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 1055 AM Update Still watching the potential for scattered strong to severe t'storms this afternoon especially south/east of I-81 and I-88 in CNY and much of NE PA. Skies this morning have been partly to mostly sunny with a good diurnal temperature increased noted. 11 AM temperatures are already in the upper 70s to mid-80s areawide and there is decent low level moisture advection along and ahead of the approaching front; sfc dew points are now in rising into the mid to upper 60s. An area of enhanced MLCAPE is moving into CNY/NE PA from the west, already surpassing 1000 J/Kg...there is plenty of effective layer shear moving in as well, 50+ Kts noted. Low level lapse rates are increasing between 7-7.5C/Km across CNY at this time as well...and perhaps most concerning is the mid level dry air mass (shown on latest WV loop) and DCAPE values over 1000 J/Kg...this should set the stage for scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and perhaps even a few supercells across NE PA and/or the western Catskills..the main threat from these storms would be isolated damaging winds. Only minor adjustments were made to the near term forecast grids to account for the latest satellite, radar and CAMs trends. 645 AM Update... Isolated rain showers are moving across the area and more isolated showers are expected to develop this morning. The forecast remains on track from the previous package. Increased cloud cover is causing some concern for convective activity later this morning, especially a band of thicker clouds currently moving across central PA which would limit instability potential over NEPA as it would move over during prime heating time. 330 AM Update... Rain showers are currently moving through Oneida county and should be east of the area within the next hour. Another batch of rain showers and isolated thunderstorms are currently moving into Steuben county and are expected to move to the NE across the CWA. A 40kt LLJ combined with the overhead shortwave will aid in continuing the development of this area of showers as they move across the area this morning. The LLJ and shortwave will exit the area later this morning, taking the rain showers with it. This afternoon, an upper level trough combined with a cold front advancing through the area will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. CAMs have not done a great job with the current round of showers moving through the area and they are not coming to any sort of agreement on how this afternoon will play out, with some models showing almost no activity and others showing widespread showers and storms. The overnight rain showers that have and will move across the area should leave a cold pool across the Finger Lakes, stretching into CNY and the Mohawk Valley. This combined with an increase in clouds this morning should inhibit thunderstorm development across these regions tomorrow afternoon. As the cold front pushes through in the afternoon, a few showers and isolated thunder could pop off but the severe threat will be minimal. The best chance for thunderstorms with severe weather in the afternoon will be across NEPA and the Catskills. HREF shows CAPE above 1000 j/kg across the region with 40-50 kts of 0-6km bulk shear. Hodographs are mostly straight, indicating storm mode will be linear and sounding profiles show a great potential for damaging winds as the main threat, with inverted Vs and DCAPE greater than 1000 across the area. The severe threat should be over by mid evening as the cold front will be through the region. Post front, low level moisture should bring a stratus deck with a chance for some light showers across the higher elevations of the Tug Hill, south of the Mohawk Valley and the Catskills. Tuesday night will see lows in the mid to upper 50s. The upper level trough will remain overhead Wednesday, sending another embedded shortwave through the area. Best chances for rain and isolated weak thunderstorms will be during peak heating in the afternoon. Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 70s with the river valleys of NEPA reaching the mid 80s. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... A secondary cold front with a broad upper level trough moves through the region Wednesday night and Thursday. While moisture looks limited enough lift looks present for isolated showers and thunderstorms in this time along with some increase in the cloud cover. Temperatures generally should be in the 60's and 70's with a few low 80's for highs Thursday. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... High pressure will begin to build into the region Thursday night and Friday bringing a shot of slightly cooler and less humid air to the region. This looks to result in a wider temperature spread with lows in the 50's and most places seeing highs getting into the low and mid 80's Friday and Saturday. Though Saturday does look a few degrees warmer being on the back side of the high with southwesterly warm air advection. Enough moisture with increasing dewpoints brings a muggier feel to start next week. Still looks warm as well with higher lows in the 60's and afternoon highs in the 80's Sunday and Monday. Chances of a few showers and thunderstorms increase by Monday ahead of a weak cold front and deeper moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic ocean. && .AVIATION /15Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... VFR conditions are expected through the period at all terminals. Some periods of rain showers will move across SYR/RME this morning but restrictions are not expected as showers should be light. Afternoon convection continues to trend downward as overnight rain showers and morning clouds will limit thunderstorm development across BGM/ELM/ITH/SYR/RME terminals. The best chance for thunderstorms will be at AVP this afternoon, but confidence is not very high in storms developing near the terminal. High res model guidance is outputting a variety of solutions for how precipitation might evolve this afternoon. Because of this low confidence, only VCTS was mentioned in the TAFs. Models are hinting at some low stratus developing behind the front with patchy fog in river valleys. ELM and RME will have a chance for MVFR conditions but confidence is not high enough to put it in the TAF this far out. Outlook... Wednesday and Wednesday Night...Mainly VFR, but brief restrictions in showers and thunderstorms possible in the afternoon and early evening. Thursday through Saturday...VFR expected at this time. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
