The episode as NWS BGM wrote it up.
After storms early in the morning, a cold front brought another round of showers and thunderstorms to Central New York during the day. A warm airmass helped create an unstable environment and supported severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts.
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 Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 16, 12:56 PM EST, 2 hours 30 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 156 PM EDT Thu Jun 16 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Another round of thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening with severe thunderstorms possible once again across the region. Cooler and drier air moves in this weekend before a warm up into the middle part of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... 1240 AM Update... The main concern in the near term is the severe weather threat this afternoon. Current observations show plenty of heat and humidity in the western Finger Lakes down into Steuben Co early this afternoon. In fact Hornell is up to 88F with a 73F dew point. Farther SE of the Finger Lakes and Steuben, stable wave clouds and thicker stratus over NEPA has kept warming in check and the dew points are lower, mostly in the low to mid 60s. The NYS mesonet has been showing that there is still some decent shortwave radiation making it through in the Southern Tier and northward though the Catskills are struggling to get much sun and warming which will limit the threat for stronger surface based storms the farther east in our CWA. Temperatures across NEPA have not even reached the 70s outside of parts of Bradford and Susquehanna counties as of noon. The Finger Lakes are an area to watch this afternoon with the stable wave clouds just to the SE and then greater instability/cumulus developing to the NW could be an area of maximized shear and stability helping to keep cells discrete if they are already discrete when they move into this environment. Surface winds are also more backed likely following along the valleys of the Finger Lakes with modified forecast soundings to match surface observations showing a weakly capped atmosphere with favorable veering of low level winds. Surface based discrete storms will likely have a greater tornado and hail risk though there is uncertainty if the storms can remain discrete by the time they move into the Finger Lakes. SPC mesoanalysis is showing 2000-2500 MLCAPE over western NY and some of that instability will likely advect eastward this afternoon into the Finger Lakes and western Southern Tier. Bulk shear is up around 35 to 35 knots and will roughly stay in that range through the afternoon and evening. The 500 mb jet is just starting to nose in with velocities increasing up over 50 knots over western NY and eventually though the rest of NY and NEPA. Mid level lapse rates are not as steep as what it was looking like the last few days being right around 6C/km to 6.5C/km. Agitated CU is already evident along the lake breeze off of Lake Erie and is being watched as the area of CI. These storms will likely be surface based initially through the afternoon as they move eastward into the Finger Lakes. As they reach the stable airmass over eastern NEPA into the Catskills, the storms will likely become elevated as the advection of warm, moist air ahead of the front will help feed the storms. Elevated CAPE values will still be 1000-1500 so some isolated severe hail would be possible through NEPA and the Catskills. Cold pool development is also uncertain depending on how quickly the thunderstorms grow upscale and with observations not matching the CAMs it is hard to trust them as far as storm mode goes currently. If a good cold pool can develop with a larger MCS type system like what developed overnight, the cold pool would be able to punch through the stable layer with more of a wind threat rather than hail threat in the aforementioned stable zone. The cold front and associated storms move through by the early evening with clearing skies and likely some patchy valley fog developing. With CAA aloft, tomorrow will have another chance at some showers and thunderstorms developing as say time heating leads to some shallow instability. Higher terrain will have the best chance of seeing these showers and thunderstorms. No severe weather is expected tomorrow during the day. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... 130 PM Update... A highly anomalous airmass will move into the region for the weekend. Low level 850mb temps approach 0C Saturday morning. This will lead to well below normal temperatures for the weekend and this signal has been highly persistent over the last couple of days. The cold front will a supporting upper trof should lead to some scattered showers Friday night as the lake temps should be warm enough to drive some localized instability until significantly drier air works in for Saturday to offset the lake moisture. High pressure and drier weather will dominate the weekend with little anticipated precip. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 130 PM Update... As the midnight shift suggested, our quiet weather pattern quickly becomes more active late Monday as a complex frontal system moves into the area and becomes stationary through the middle of the week with generally unsettled conditions expected. It will become warmer and more humid through the week with scattered thunderstorms at times from Tuesday through Wednesday night. The exact location of the stationary front and the corresponding details about location of any precipitation is still uncertain as long range guidance has yet to come to a consensus. However the general theme is that towards the end of the week we'll see a cold front swing through the region with another round of showers and thunderstorms. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Low stratus has continued at BGM and AVP this afternoon with MVFR cigs. Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to move through from NW to SE through the afternoon and early evening hours. SYR, ITH, ELM, and RME will see the storms first between 20z and 0z with tempos added for during the best estimated time the storms are expected to occur. BGM and AVP will see the storms a little later closer to 23Z to 0Z timeframe. With a stable layer above the surface a large increase in wind speeds were less certain though an amendment will be made if strong winds look to punch through the stable layer. After the storms move through this evening, skies begin to clear. Low clouds may hang on longer at BGM being on a hill and AVP where there is deeper low level moisture. With the recent rain and good radiational cooling tonight, fog has been added to ELM. Tomorrow looks mostly VFR from 12z to 18z at all terminals. A couple showers are possible around SYR and RME between 15z and 18z that could cause brief restrictions but confidence is too low to add to TAFs at this time. Outlook... Friday afternoon...Some brief restrictions are possible in showers and weak storms, mainly east of ITH. Friday night through Tuesday...Mainly VFR. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
