A weak frontal boundary and a strong upper level disturbance helped develop numerous severe and torrential rain producing thunderstorms. Thunderstorms which repeatedly moved over the same locations along the Southern Tier of New York produced rainfall estimates of 3 to 4 inches in a short amount of time. This resulted in widespread areas of minor urban flooding and isolated flash flooding.
