An unstable environment in Central New York allowed for thunderstorms, triggered by a passing warm front, to become severe with torrential rainfall. Rainfall totals of 3 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts, were reported in 2 to 3 hours. These storms produced areas of high impact flash flooding in many parts of Broome county. Several hundred thousand dollars in damage to public infrastructure occurred, along with an additional major loss to private property in portions of the Towns of Chenango and Binghamton.
