The episode as NWS OKX wrote it up.
A cold front sparked off heavy thunderstorms that slowly moved though northeast New Jersey and the NYC metro area. These thunderstorms dropped between 1.5 and 2.5 inches of rain in less than 2 hours which resulted in areas of flash flooding.

NWS New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 2, 2:46 PM EST, 34 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 346 PM EDT Thu Jun 2 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front and weak area of low pressure slowly shift through the region tonight and exit east on Friday with a trailing trough remaining in the vicinity. High pressure then builds in through the weekend and remains through Monday. A weakening cold front approaches on Tuesday and stalls nearby on Wednesday. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... A cold front with a weak wave of low pressure along it will be shifting east across the forecast area tonight. A mid-level shortwave will pass through as well and provide extra lift for showers, which will be likely during this evening along with scattered thunderstorms. PWATs are in the range of 1.50 to 1.75 inches, and given wet antecedent conditions, isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out, especially over the urban corridor in northeast New Jersey. Instability is limited, and shear, while marginally strong enough for severe weather consideration, diminishes through the evening before increasing again overnight. Best chance for a strong to severe wind gust would be early this evening while instability is greater. For the late night hours, the shortwave lift will be exiting, however the cold front and wave of low pressure will be slow to shift east. Associated lift with plenty of moisture still in place brings the likelihood of additional shower activity with an isolated rumble of thunder still possible. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... A 500mb trough axis slides across the Northeast on Friday with the flow flattening out as it does. This will help push the cold front and associated wave of low pressure offshore during the morning. Still a good chance of showers in the morning - focused more toward the eastern half of the forecast area. A surface trough remains in the vicinity during the afternoon along with residual moisture and SBCAPEs increasing up to 200-400 J/kg. Therefore cannot completely rule out additional shower development in the afternoon. High temperatures will be a few degrees above normal. We should finally dry out after Friday evening as stability increases and drier air advects into the region. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Surface high pressure builds in this weekend with a zonal flow aloft. Dry weather both days with high temperatures above normal - generally in the mid 70s to lower 80s. High pressure remains in control, but will be offshore on Monday with another dry day for us. High temperatures once again in the mid 70s to lower 80s. For Tuesday, an area of low pressure stretching from eastern Great Lakes Region into central Quebec slowly shifts east. An attendant cold front approaches us, but weakens by the time it reaches the forecast area - possibly even dissipating with a lack of upper support. Will go with a chance of showers for Tuesday and Tuesday night, and so far it appears the better chances will be in the afternoon and evening. With the uncertainty regarding the status of the weakening front, will leave in a slight chance of showers for Wednesday. Models then diverge regarding the timing and placement of a 500mb trough and related surface features on Thursday. Will keep in a chance of showers for the period. && .AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... A weakening frontal system will dissipate across the area through tonight, while a frontal wave passes to the south tonight into Friday. A round of SHRA with a few TSRA will impact the area this afternoon into early this evening. During this time, it will be a mainly VFR forecast outside of any convection. Conditions will then fall back to IFR and/or LIFR overnight with a light E/SE flow and abundant low-level moisture. Scattered showers will be possible through the overnight. A S-SE 5-10 kt wind this afternoon will gradually back to the E/NE overnight. Many locations will be just light and variable. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Adjustments possible for timing of showers and thunderstorms this evening. Onset time of IFR/LIFR conditions tonight may vary by 1-2 hours. .OUTLOOK FOR 18Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... .Friday...MVFR conditions may linger into the evening for the eastern terminals, especially KGON. .Saturday-Tuesday...VFR. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90 && .MARINE... With a relatively weak pressure gradient, winds and seas remain below SCA criteria through the weekend. The next possibility of SCA conditions looks to be Monday night or Tuesday with the potential of swell building in response to low pressure well offshore. && .HYDROLOGY... Heavy downpours into this evening may produce minor urban and poor drainage flooding. Isolated flash flooding is possible across the NYC metropolitan area, with the the urban corridor of northeast New Jersey and adjacent areas most susceptible. No hydrologic impacts are anticipated from Friday through the rest of the forecast period. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
