A very warm and humid air mass was in place across western Massachusetts on Tuesday, May 21st. A slow moving frontal boundary was situated just north of the area across the Saint Lawrence River Valley along the United States-Canadian border. During the day, a wave of low pressure moved along this boundary, allowing the boundary to slowly push southward towards the area. With strong wind shear aloft and plenty of low level moisture in place, thunderstorms developed during the afternoon hours across eastern New York and some of these moved into western Massachusetts by early evening.
Thunderstorms initially formed as single cells and supercells, but eventually organized into several broken lines, which moved from west to east across the area. A few of the thunderstorms that moved across western Massachusetts produced wind damage to trees and power lines, as well as quarter-size hail.
As the surface wave of low pressure moved away and with the loss of daytime heating, thunderstorms eventually ended during the late evening hours.

Heavy precipitation with rapid cooling produced a combination of freezing rain, sleet, and snow in Dixon County in extreme northeast Nebraska from the evening of April 9th, to the morning of April 11th. Moderate to heavy ice accumulations were reported, followed moderate to heavy snow and sleet accumulations. The ice accumulations, a quarter to a half inch, caused tree and power line damage. Fallen branches and limbs were numerous, roads were blocked, and some vehicles suffered damages from the falling limbs and branches. There were also power outages because of the power line and power pole damage. Strong winds with and following the storm, not strong enough to cause significant damage under dry conditions, contributed to the tree and power line damage. The snow and sleet accumulations made travel difficult, especially in areas where downed trees and power lines were already causing road blockages.
