A cutoff low pressure system over northeastern PA worked its way into southern New England during the evening. Out ahead of it, a warm front moved into southern New England in the late afternoon. There was moderate wind shear and some instability, which led to the development of a few severe thunderstorms. They occurred mainly in western and southeastern MA.
