What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 10, 3:01 PM CDT, 1 hour 28 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 3:01 PM CDT, 1 hour 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
301 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued at 300 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

Thunderstorms moving across portions of central Illinois this
afternoon will continue to pose a severe weather threat over the
next few hours. Out ahead of the storms, temperatures near 90F and
dew points in the mid/upper 70s to around 80F are contributing to
extreme instability. SPC mesoanalysis indicates MLCAPE values of
3500-4000 J/kg ahead of the outflow boundary which will support
strong updrafts. Main limiting factor thus far is the lack of deep
layer shear which is resulting in the storm becoming outflow
dominant. Outflow boundary is well ahead of the southern end of
the QLCS but still packing a punch with reports of severe or near
severe wind gusts ahead of the main line. Main concern over the
next few hours will be storms emerging from NE MO this hour that
track along the outflow boundary as it lays out west to east
across central Illinois. Any storms that may become rooted on the
boundary will bear the closest watching for a severe threat, but
in general expect the severe threat to transition southward across
the remainder of central Illinois despite the lower deep layer
shear. Damaging winds pose the main threat but large hail is also
a possibility given the strong updrafts. Will also need to monitor
the potential for flash flooding, especially if the outflow
boundary slows or stalls allowing for training storms.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 253 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

Scattered thunderstorms will affect the area into tonight. Some of
the storms could be severe into this evening, with damaging wind
gusts being the main threat. Locally heavy rain will also be
possible. The front will push into southern Illinois for Tuesday
and Wednesday, with scattered storms more dominant over the
southern half of the state. Temperatures will cool a bit for the
next few days, with more seasonable readings through midweek.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

Greatest severe weather threat at least over the next couple of
hours will be across the northern CWA, mainly I-74 north as the
squall line tracks east. Widespread 60+ mph gusts with tree and
power line damage have been reported across Knox and Stark
counties as of 230 pm. This area will shift east over McLean Co.
through 4 pm.  Progressing south of I-74 this line of storms
becomes more outflow dominant, posing a lower severe threat over
the short term. Upstream we are seeing another batch of severe
storms developing over northeast MO. CAMs have had varying
solutions with this activity, but the general feeling is this will
develop east along the front/outflow from initial squall line, and
pose an additional severe threat over the central/southern CWA
later this afternoon and into the evening. Though deep layer shear
remains rather weak under 25 kt, very high instability (surface
based sampled at 5400 J/kg on 18z ILX sounding) will lead to a
continued damaging wind gust potential into this evening. Steep
mid level lapse rates will also pose a secondary hail threat,
mitigated by high wet bulb zero heights. We expect the main severe
threat to diminish over out southeast counties around 9-10 pm.

A lesser but still notable concern over the next few hours is high
heat and humidity as 80F dewpoints have pooled ahead of the storm
complex. This has pushed heat indices around 105F in many
locations. This will continue through around 6 pm in areas that
remain storm-free.

Later tonight and Tuesday, the front will shift into southern IL.
This is where chance pops will be confined, with drier weather
expected over the northern half of the CWA into Tuesday night.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

Few changes made to the extended due to ongoing severe weather.
The front will remain in the general area Wed-Sat, though notable
dry periods are likely, especially over the northern half of the
area. This will keep seasonably warm weather in place through
Saturday. While there is some uncertainty in timing an more
significant cold front is progged late Saturday or early Sunday.
This would result in cooler/drier weather for the end of the
weekend and into early next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 104 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020

Main issue is timing severe squall line currently in eastern IA.
This is expected to track east/southeast this afternoon, highest
confidence for this to impact PIA/BMI/CMI from 19-23z. The line
will be tracking quickly at around 60 kt, with similar wind speeds
possible at the surface. Lower confidence that storms will impact
SPI/DEC so only included tempo group here, where storms should be
more scattered mid/late afternoon. After this window of active
weather, VFR TAFs should prevail tonight through 18z.
