A surface cold front pushing across the area brought another round of thunderstorms during the evening hours. Their movement along the front allowed for locally heavy rainfall of generally 1 to 2 inches. One exception was in and near the town of Plainville, which saw over 2 and one half inces of rain in a short amount of time, causing water to run over street curbs and spill into some local shops and stores.
