What happened

The episode as NWS OKX wrote it up.

A mid-level shortwave and associated surface cold front and pre-frontal trough moved towards the area. Isolated showers and thunderstorms developed and given moderate instability and shear, a few thunderstorms became severe, producing damaging wind gusts.

What forecasters said that day

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 Jun 12, 2:49 PM EST, 3 hours 13 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • 1) The threat for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms continues through this evening. The main threat with any storms would be strong to damaging wind gusts. 2) The next potential window for strong to severe thunderstorms will be Sunday late afternoon and evening. 3) Minor coastal flooding chances this weekend and into early next week (Sun-Mon) for the evening high tides.

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for much of the area
through 9 PM this evening. Another coastal flood statement has
been issued for Southern Nassau South Shore Bays and Southern
Fairfield CT shoreline for Saturday late afternoon and evening.

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) The threat for scattered strong to severe thunderstorms
continues through this evening. The main threat with any storms
would be strong to damaging wind gusts.

2) The next potential window for strong to severe thunderstorms
will be Sunday late afternoon and evening.

3) Minor coastal flooding chances this weekend and into early next
week (Sun-Mon) for the evening high tides.

.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...
Much like yesterday, the afternoon atmosphere across the region
is hot and humid with temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s
for most and dew points up to the lower 70s. This is allowing
for a conditionally unstable atmosphere with SBCAPE values over
3500 J/kg. Some convection is attempting to diurnally develop
with the cumulus field growing west of the Hudson River Valley.
However, further west, shower and storm coverage is greater. As
an upper level shortwave and surface cold front approach from
the west, coverage of storms should increase over the western
half of the forecast area later this afternoon. With DCAPE
values over 1000 J/kg observed in recent ACARS soundings into
EWR, these storms should have the capacity to develop into a
strong to severe threat with strong to damaging winds as the
main concerns. Therefore, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been
issued for much of the area through 9 PM.

.KEY MESSAGE 2...
For Sunday, a broad upper trough over the Great Lakes region
will extend a pair of shortwave troughs toward the East Coast.
The first shortwave will support the development of a low
pressure system along the coast, which will give the area its
next round of shower and storm activity. The second shortwave
will support a surface cold front on Sunday night that will end
the storm threat. The environment ahead of these features will
be more marginal than the last several days as temperatures will
only just get to 90 degrees and surface dew points will only
reach the mid 60s, so the instability will be limited. However,
this setup could allow for more upper level support to organize
storms. In the end, the threat appears low end at this time and
the area is currently under a Day 3 Marginal Risk for severe
weather from SPC.

.KEY MESSAGE 3...
With the upcoming new moon phase later in the weekend, astronomical
tide levels will gradually increase. Also, with an increasing
onshore flow this weekend the forecast surge is expected to increase
and total water levels could reach just beyond minor coastal flood
benchmarks during times of high tide. This is particularly true for
later Sunday. Any minor coastal flooding could linger into early
next week for the evening high tides.

With both Long Island Sound and western South Shore Bay locations,
and potentially some Eastern Suffolk gauges showing possible minor
coastal flooding, coastal flood advisories may be needed in
subsequent forecast updates for later in the weekend. For the time
being coastal flood statements are in effect for the potential for
isolated minor coastal flooding during high tide this evening and
during Saturday evening / night for the Southern Nassau South Shore
Bays as well as the Southern Fairfield CT shoreline.

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A cold front approaches from the west late this afternoon,
eventually crossing through most terminals this evening. High
pressure builds in from the west late tonight into Saturday.

Mainly VFR conditions are expected, although the exception will be
showers and thunderstorms very late this afternoon into this
evening. A brief reduction in visibility to MVFR or IFR will be
possible along with the potential for brief strong wind gusts with
any stronger to severe thunderstorms.

Wind speeds will be near 10-13 kt mainly out of the W late this
afternoon with some gusts 20 kt at some terminals. Winds shift to NW
this evening, mainly after 0z behind the cold front. Wind speeds
again will be near 10 kts. NW flow remains around 10 kt through much
of the day Saturday.

     NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...

Amendments possible to refine timing of showers and thunderstorms
this evening.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

Saturday afternoon: VFR. Winds mainly NW to W.

Sunday: Mainly VFR initially. Then, showers becoming more probable
afternoon into night with MVFR or lower possible at times.
Thunderstorms are possible as well. S-SW wind gusts near 20-25 kt
afternoon into evening. Peak gusts to near 30 kt possible.

Monday: VFR. Possible W-SW wind gusts up to 20 kt afternoon into
early evening.

Tuesday: VFR.

Wednesday: Mostly VFR, with a chance of sub VFR conditions later in
the day and towards evening.

&&

.MARINE...
Light flow of 5 to 15 kts is expected through Saturday and Small
Craft Advisory headlines are not expected at this time. Winds
will be southwesterly through this evening before shifting to
the northwest behind a cold front.

There is potential for brief Small Craft Advisory conditions Sunday
into Sunday night with increasing southerly flow ahead of a
cold front. This will likely be real marginal and mainly for the
ocean waters, with 25 kt gusts and 4-5 ft seas.

Winds will become northwest behind the cold front on Monday at
10 to 15 kts and decreasing. Light flow of 5 to 15 kts will be
expected for Monday night and Small Craft Advisory headlines
are not expected at this time.

Rip Currents...

The rip current risk overall will be low on Saturday with a west to
northwest wind generally up to 10 kt and a lingering 2 ft southerly
swell. By Sunday the rip current risk climbs to moderate for the
Suffolk beaches, with a high risk developing during the afternoon
for the NYC and Nassau beaches, mainly due to an increasing S wind
up to around 15 kt. A high risk may develop very late in the day for
the Suffolk beaches as well.
