Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	A warm southerly flow allowed for temperatures to reach well into the 80s to near 90 on Wednesday, July 2nd. In addition, it was rather humid with dewpoints nearing 70 degrees. With the warm and humid conditions in place, the atmosphere became quite unstable during the afternoon and evening hours.\|\|Well ahead of a cold front, a surface trough was in place across upstate New York. This caused thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon hours. Many of these storms became severe, producing wind damage to trees and power lines. A few storms also contained large hail. In addition, the very humid air mass in place gave the storms the capability of producing very heavy rainfall in a short period of time. This allowed for a few of the storms to produce flash flooding in urban areas, such as around the Capital Region. \|\|In addition, these storms produced a significant amount of cloud to ground lightning. Several highway employees were struck by lightning in Rotterdam during a thunderstorm, but luckily escaped serious injury. \|\|Although most of the storm ended by the late afternoon hours, a few additional severe storms during during the evening across the western Adirondacks and western Mohawk Valley. These storms ended by the late evening hours, as nocturnal influences helped wane the development of additional thunderstorms.
