The episode as NWS OKX wrote it up.
A stationary front near the area forced torrential thunderstorms in a tropical airmass resulting in widespread flash flooding in CT. The first round of thunderstorms occurred early in the morning on July 16th. Another round of thunderstorms occurred later in the afternoon. The tropical airmass had CAPE values 1500 - 2000 J/kg with PWATs 2.2-2.4 inches. The torrential thunderstorms produced rainfall rates as much as 3 inches an hour. Rainfall amounts totaled a widespread 2-4 inches across Connecticut with localized spots seeing as much as 5 inches of rain.
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 New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 16, 6:49 AM EST, 44 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
749 AM EDT Sun Jul 16 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal system will become nearly stationary across the area today
before moving east tonight. High pressure will then briefly build
across the area on Monday. Unsettled weather is likely to continue
through the rest of the week with the potential for a series of
frontal boundaries.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Flood Watch remains up for the entire forecast area late through
midnight.
Bands of heavy rain with embedded thunder have moved into the
western half of the CWA and are expected to shift eastward
through the day.
Overall, the forecast remains on track with the potential for a
significant flood event (possibly major) through the day today as a
frontal system works into the area ahead of another shortwave being
sent east out of the longwave trough. All the players are there with
record PWAT values of 2.25-2.50 inches, moderate-high instability,
and a slow-moving or at times stalled out boundary across the area.
The 00z suite of forecast guidance has started to bring some of the
smaller details into focus, but as always there still remains some
uncertainty. The biggest forecast challenge for this event is to
pinpoint where the heaviest axis of rain will set up across the
forecast area. Latest guidance appears to show a narrow SW to NE
corridor of about 50 miles wide (somewhere from about western
Passaic NJ through NYC to the Nassau/Suffolk Border), where the
heaviest rain is expected to set up. This corridor is likely to
extend from NE NJ/NYC up into portions of southwestern CT. Most of
the global models and CAMS have some heavy swath of rain somewhere
in this corridor. As a result, have nudged the heavy rain axis east
and bumped rainfall totals up in this area. CAMs also showing this
area will be prone to training of thunderstorms. On average, we are
looking a widespread 1 to 3 inch rainfall with localized amounts 4
to 6 inches. At this time, its hard to rule out the potential for a
few isolated spots receiving 7+ inches. Rainfall rates of 1 to
2 inches per hour remain likely. Confidence continues to
increase for someone in the CWA to see localized significant
flooding.
WPC maintains the moderate risk of Excessive rainfall across much of
the forecast area, however the area that extends from NYC/NE NJ
through CT remains on the higher end of the moderate risk.
In addition to the flooding threat, the Storm Prediction Center
has placed much of the area in a slight risk of severe weather
today. The main threat will be isolated tornadoes and strong
gusty winds.
Clouds and rainfall today should result in a cooler day, with highs
around 80.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
Lingering convection in the evening is forecast to work east of
the area during the early morning hours. The cold front is
expected to clear eastern LI/SE CT toward daybreak. Lows are
forecast to be a few cooler, ranging from the upper 60s inland,
to the lower 70s along the coast.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
No significant changes have been made to the long term and have
followed the NBM closely for this update.
A persistent longwave upper trough will remain in place over
eastern North American through the time frame, with a series of
shortwave impulses riding through every other day or so this
week with chances for showers/tstms. On Mon we will be in
between impulses and the day should be very warm and somewhat
humid, with highs mostly from the upper 80s to lower 90s, and
afternoon dewpoints from the mid 60s NYC north/west to the lower
70s across Long Island and SE CT. The next chance for organized
convection arrives as the longwave trough axis swings through,
with a marginal risk of excessive rainfall fcst for the Hudson
Valley. Slightly cooler high temps (85-90) and slightly higher
dewpoints (upper 60s/lower 70s) on Tue should yield similar heat
index values to those of Monday.
Max heat index values for the two days should be mostly below 95,
with the possible exception of the urban corridor of NE NJ and some
spots along the north shore of Long Island, with only E Union County
meeting local heat advy criteria of two consecutive days of 95+ heat
index.
Some haze may also be possible Mon night into Tue, per extrapolation
of latest HRRR guidance suggesting some smoke from western Canada
wildfires crossing the Appalachians during that time.
Wed looks like a mostly dry day with shortwave ridging briefly
moving across, then the next organized chance of showers/tstms
should arrive Thu-Fri as the longwave upper trough becomes re-
established. Forecast per NBM currently shows dry conditions for Sat
but confidence in this is low especially east of NYC with
deterministic global models showing a wave of low pressure moving
NNE through the adjacent Atlantic waters.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A frontal boundary will remain in the vicinity of the terminals
this morning. A cold front approaches this afternoon and moves
through the area tonight. Weak high pressure briefly builds in
late tonight.
Periods of showers and thunderstorms will continue across the
region through this afternoon, with periods of moderate to heavy
rainfall. There is some uncertainty with the timing and
placement of the heavier/stronger thunderstorms, some of which
could produce gusty winds. Conditions will be mainly IFR with
periods of MVFR possible. Thunderstorms and then showers end
mid to late afternoon into tonight west to east. Again, there
are timing uncertainties with the ending of thunderstorms and
then showers. Conditions improve to VFR by late tonight, except
at KGON where IFR likely remains until toward 12Z.
A southerly flow is expected through this afternoon with a
period of light and variable winds becoming NW by late evening
and into tonight.
...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
High confidence in IFR cigs overnight into Sunday, with showers
and thunderstorms developing.
Uncertainty in end time of SHRA and TSRA on Sunday. There is a
chance for TSRA to linger after 21Z.
OUTLOOK FOR 12Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
Monday: Early morning MVFR possible in cigs at KGON, otherwise
VFR.
Tuesday: MVFR or lower in chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Wednesday: VFR.
Wednesday Night - Thursday: MVFR or lower in chance of showers
and thunderstorms.
Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts,
can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90
&&
.MARINE...
Ahead of an approaching frontal system, southerly winds will
strengthen to around 15 kt on the ocean waters by morning,
increasing seas around 5 ft. A SCA has remains in effect today and
tonight between Fire Island Inlet and Montauk Point.
Sea up to 5 ft may linger on the ocean waters daytime Mon per NWPS
and GFSwave, especially out east. Confidence in this is low as
sustained winds in the persistent S flow daytime Sunday peak only
briefly between 15-20 kt, and will be lighter out of the SW daytime
Mon, so SCA has not been extended into this time frame.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A Flood Watch is in effect for the entire CWA late tonight and
Sunday.
There is the potential for a significant to major flood event today
as a frontal boundary works across the area. All of the area except
eastern LI is under a Moderate Risk for Excessive Rainfall. The
potential is there for scattered to numerous flash floods. On
average, we are looking a widespread 1 to 3 inch rainfall with
localized amounts 4 to 6 inches. At this time, its hard to rule out
the potential for a few isolated spots receiving 7+ inches.
Rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour remain likely.
Confidence continues to increase for someone in the CWA to see
localized significant flooding.
A marginal risk of excessive rainfall is forecast for the Hudson
Valley for Tuesday, as another passing disturbance helps generate
showers/tstms with heavy rainfall. An ongoing risk may continue with
successive systems later this week.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
There is a high risk of rip current development at all the ocean
beaches today and Monday as southerly swells increase.
