The episode as NWS BGM wrote it up.
A MCC (mesosclae convective complex) formed in the region late in the day on the 15th. This system brought storms across the Northern Tier in Northeastern Pennsylvania. One storm became severe along the eastern PA/NY border and knocked down multiple trees in Manchester Township in Wayne County.

NWS Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 16, 1:17 AM EST, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 217 AM EDT Thu Jun 16 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Showers and thunderstorms continue to develop early this morning across the Finger Lakes with some storms producing hail and strong winds. Another round of thunderstorms develop in the afternoon and evening with severe thunderstorms possible once again across the region with the highest chances over the Finger Lakes once again. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... 930 PM Update... A lone thunderstorm is currently moving into Steuben county. It has weakened a bit over the last 30 min and currently has a Special Weather Statement attached to it in Steuben county. The environment is still looking good for elevated convection along a sharp CAPE/shear gradient located over the western Twin Tiers. The best severe chances will be over Steuben county, quickly reducing to the east. CAM models are showing isolated initiation over the next couple hours, with wider showers and storms developing after midnight. Gusty winds and small hail will still be possible with these overnight storms, given the elevated CAPE, moderate mid level lapse rates and dry air. The rest of the forecast remains unchanged. Overnight PoPs were updated based of current trends and CAM guidance. 630 PM Update... Clear skies continue for most of the CWA. Cumulus clouds are beginning to work their way into Steuben county. These clouds are showing where the low level instability gradient is, as east of here, low level clouds are not developing. CAM guidance is showing rain and thunderstorms developing along this gradient over the next few hours. Models also show a nice plume of vorticity advection over the western portion of the CWA as the ridge breaks down and height falls occur from the NW to SE across the area. Elevated CAPE with a sharp gradient of effective shear between 35-45kts across the western Twin Tiers will allow for strong wind gusts and large hail. Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will spread eastward across the area as the night progresses, but the severe chances will lessen as the precip moves away from the high CAPE and shear values. The forecast for tomorrows severe weather remains unchanged. 300 PM Update... A small complex of showers and thunderstorms dissipated over Lake Ontario though its associated clouds have moved in and is helping filter some of the sunshine this afternoon. Tonight, as the ridge axis swings through, mid level lapse rates steepen with warm, moist advection at 925 to 850 mb. Elevated convection likely develops a few hours after sunset and with 1500 to 2000 J/kg of elevated cape and 30-35 knots of shear, large hail is possible with any of the stronger storms. Steuben Co and vicinity has the highest elevated CAPE values in the region with SPC upgrading that area to a slight risk for tonight. The storms spread east through the night with lower chances of severe hail as some of that energy gets used up and storms start to congeal. The evolution of the overnight convection and cold pool development will play a significant roll in how the severe weather plays out tomorrow. Divergent flow at 250 mb and 500 mb flow increasing to over 50 knots in the afternoon will help ventilate any updrafts as well as synoptic lift helping to weaken CIN that will likely develop from the overnight convection. Skies are expected to clear across the Finger Lakes into western portions of CNY with MLCAPE forecast to be around 1500 J/kg and 0-6 km shear or 50-55 knots will support strong storms as a cold front moves in and triggers storms in the mid afternoon. With the strong forcing along the front and good kinematics, storms will likely grow upscale quickly. Forecast soundings in the western Finger Lakes show steep low level and mid level lapse rates with dry air advecting in the mid levels as well. This sounding will favor large hail and damaging winds at storm initiation and then mainly wind after the storms grow upscale and becomes a QLCS. A spin up or two is possible along the QLCS or in any storm that can stay isolated long enough prior to the upscale growth. Along I-81 and east, models are still favoring some cold pooling and low stratus from the morning convection helping to keep the lower atmosphere more stable. Forecast trends have been towards a shallower cold pool so there is a better chance of surface based destabilization farther to the east compared to how it looked previous days. SPC has upgraded the I-81 corridor and west in an enhanced risk with a slight risk to the Catskills and a marginal for the eastern Catskills and east. The thunderstorms move through the region by midnight on Thursday with much cooler air advecting in. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... 230 PM Update... Long wave trough will be over the region Friday and into Saturday, with cool NW flow bringing well below average temperatures to start the weekend. Friday will remain unsettled with the trough overhead, as several perturbations pass through the cyclonic flow. A few showers or isolated thunderstorm will be possible Friday afternoon through Friday night as cool temperatures arriving aloft increase lapse rates. Moisture will be limited, and the bulk of the shower activity will be focused around peak heating, however a short wave comes around the base of the trough Friday night and may produce another round of isolated to scattered showers. Under the upper trough and NW flow on Saturday, highs will only be in the mid 60s...some 10 degrees below normal. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 240 PM Update... Surface high pressure and upper ridging starts to build back into the region Saturday night. This will bring dry and warmer conditions to end the weekend and into the first part of next week. The next chance for rain will come Monday night and Tuesday as a stationary front sets up over the region and will be the focus for showers and thunderstorms. Conditions may remain active through at least the first half of next week as we will be on the periphery of an upper ridge. && .AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop and track to the east/southeast early this morning along the intersection of a mid level short wave and the nose of a low level jet. This round of early morning storms is expected to drop to the southeast by 12Z. IFR restrictions are possible with any storm that passes overhead. Conditions will trend back to VFR after 12Z. Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected this afternoon, most likely affecting the region after 21Z. Risk of severe thunderstorms with strong wind gusts is generally higher west of an SYR-BGM line, and will depend on how much destabilization can take place during the afternoon, following the rain this morning. Conditions behind the front after 01Z will dry out with a period of VFR conditions. Outlook... Friday night through Monday...Mainly VFR. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
