On May 10, Litchfield county was sandwiched between two frontal boundaries during much of the day. The air mass was very unstable, which resulted in some single and multi-cell thunderstorms late in the day. Due to cold air aloft and cool air near the surface, one of of the thunderstorms produced dime size hail near Torrington.
