The episode as NWS BGM wrote it up.
Prior to the arrival of a prefrontal trough, some thunderstorms managed to take advantage of limited instability in Central New York in the afternoon of the 26th. One thunderstorm over Chenango County became severe and knocked trees and wires down.
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 26, 5:35 PM EST, 43 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 635 PM EDT Sun Jun 26 2022 .SYNOPSIS... An approaching cold front will allow showers and thunderstorms to continue across the region this evening and tonight. A few showers may linger into Monday morning. High pressure with dry and cooler weather takes control late Monday through at least mid week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... 635 PM update... Scattered showers and thunderstorms with embedded wind gusts 30 to 40 mph and heavy downpours will continue into this evening along the initial lead short wave. A trailing cold front, currently moving into western PA, will sweep to the east tonight and produce another round of showers and some weaker thunderstorms. The main threat later tonight with convection along the cold front will be for heavy rain that could lead to some isolated flash flooding. Rainfall rates this evening have peaked around 0.5 to 1 inch per hour...and with the second around of rain later, the rates should be less than 0.5 inch per hour, but may cause issues in locations where the antecedent conditions are already saturated. 3 pm update... Hardly any changes. The cap has broken in central PA and western NY and showers and thunderstorms have formed. Movement is slow so rainfall rates are on the high side. A few thunderstorms also showing decent winds despite only 10 to 15 kts of shear. Weak low level convergence but deep moisture is increasing. Winds will also increase as the cold front and upper level trough approach tonight. Shear increases to 20 to 25 kts. Precipitable water increases to around 2 inches. A deep saturated warm layer to 12k feet will also help with rainfall efficacy. Temperatures in the 80s to around 90 with dewpoints in the 60s have produced cape values in excess of 1000J/kg. The biggest thunderstorms into the evening could have wind gusts to 30 or 40 mph especially when they collapse. The bigger threat will be for isolated flash flooding. Some of the thunderstorms are now in the area that got heavy rain less than a week ago in Steuben County. Most likely the better chance for flash flooding will be the main line this evening. Right now have had several dry days and can easily take an inch of rain in less than an hour. Any flooding will probably need multiple rounds of rain. Average rainfall amounts around half an inch. The cold front moves through late tonight ending the rain from northwest to southeast. The rain moves out of Sullivan and Pike Counties by 11 am. Low temperatures in the 60s. Monday is looking mostly dry now for much of our area. Drier sinking air moves behind the front. High temperatures will range from the low and mid 70s along the NYS Thruway and western Catskills to around 80 for the Wyoming Valley and Pike County's Delaware River Valley. Monday night the upper level trough moves through possibly with some light rain showers in Oneida County. Across south central NY and NEPA clear skies and calm winds will allow the temperatures to drop into the upper 40s and lower 50s. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 215 PM Update... Dry and quiet weather will be likely through the middle of the week as high pressure builds in by Tuesday. Temperatures will be cooler than normal Tuesday, peaking only in the 70s under sunny skies before falling back into the upper 40s and lower 50s overnight. Most of the area will remain dry and sunny Wednesday. However, a stray shower or rumble of thunder is not totally out of the question across the Finger Lakes with a weak upper trough and co-located upper jet streak moving through. This would have to combat a pretty dry airmass and a sprawling surface high over much of the eastern US, so confidence is quite low. Otherwise, expect a warming trend to begin, with more seasonable highs ranging from the mid 70s to lower 80s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... 215 PM update... Behind the exiting upper trough, dry weather will continue through the rest of the work week with increasing temperatures. Expect highs in the 80s across much of the area Thursday, and even into the 90s Friday. Our next real shot at any rain/thunderstorms will hold off until later Friday evening into Saturday. The ridge axis starts to shift eastward, and a pretty broad trough will begin digging into the upper Great Lakes. This will in turn set up a diffuse temperature gradient over the region, which could be a source for some lift into the weekend. PWATs will be on the increase, with some of the guidance suggesting values as high as 1 to 2 inches. Meanwhile, soundings indicate fairly light winds throughout much of the column, while profiles turn saturated with steep warm cloud depths. Further, this frontal system does not look to be very progressive, with the weak cold front only slowly slagging through during the course of the day. So, Saturday will need to be watched for any potential hydro issues, though it should be noted that this will be proceeded by several mainly dry and sunny days. Expect temperatures to run cooler than on Friday given the increase in clouds and potential for rainfall, but highs still range in the 70s and lower 80s. && .AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... 1240 PM Update... VFR conditions this afternoon into this evening. A cold front will approach the region and kick off showers and thunderstorms starting late this afternoon/evening with possible restrictions at times as early as 21z at ELM. MVFR cigs/vsbys mostly 06 to 12z. The front will move through 8 to 12z late tonight. The rain ends about 2 hours after the frontal passage. Models still have an abundance of thunderstorm timing. Confidence is low to medium on the initial line of convection with gusty winds to 30 kts. Southwest winds this afternoon at 10 gusting to 18 kts. Tonight winds turn south and drop to 5 to 10 kts. The front goes through 8 to 12z shifting winds to west and northwest. Monday morning winds pick up to 10 kts. Outlook... Monday afternoon through Friday...Mainly VFR under high pressure. Possibly some restrictions during the early morning hours due to valley fog at KELM most likely Wednesday morning. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
