A stalled frontal boundary resulted in moist and unstable air present over central New York. An approaching upper level system provided the forcing needed to generate severe, and torrential rain producing thunderstorms across central New York. The excessively moist airmass resulted in areas of significant flash flooding over parts of the Western Catskills region.
