What happened
The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.
A large complex of thunderstorms developed in the wake of previous convection during the evening of July 19th. Locally heavy rainfall of between 3 and 5 inches occurred along and southwest of a Canton...to Decatur...to Robinson line. Several reports of flooded roads were received...particularly in west central Illinois. One isolated hail report was received from Schuyler County as well.
What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 19, 7:36 PM CST, 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 836 PM CDT MON JUL 19 2010 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 836 PM CDT MON JUL 19 2010 LATEST LOW-LEVEL WIND PROFILERS ARE SHOWING A STRENGTHENING JET SETTING UP FROM THE PLAINS E/NE INTO SOUTHEAST IOWA. CONVECTION HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED ALONG THE NOSE OF THE JET AND IS TRACKING E/SE INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE FEEDING INTO THE GENESIS REGION...NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY RE-DEVELOP AND TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS FROM SOUTHEAST IOWA INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS. BASED ON RADAR/SATELLITE MOSAIC...IT APPEARS THE PRIMARY AXIS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND/OR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE ALONG AND NORTH OF A RUSHVILLE...TO DECATUR...TO MARSHALL LINE. HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCREASE POPS TO CATEGORICAL ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE KILX CWA. HAVE ALSO ADDED MENTION OF SEVERE THREAT DURING THE EVENING ALONG AND WEST OF I-55...WHERE ACTIVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM. BARNES && .AVIATION... ISSUED 651 PM CDT MON JUL 19 2010 VERY COMPLEX AVIATION WEATHER FORECAST SCENARIO CONTINUES TO UNFOLD ACROSS THE CENTRAL ILLINOIS TERMINALS. THE SHOWERS/STORMS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE VICINITY OF THE TAF SITES TODAY WERE NOT WELL CAPTURED BY ANY OF THE FORECAST MODELS. THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK WAVE AND LOW LEVEL STABILIZATION FROM CONVECTION/RAIN SHOULD BRIEFLY END OUR PRECIPITATION RISK WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. HOWEVER...THE BREAK WILL NOT LAST LONG. ONCE THE NOCTURNAL LOW LEVEL JET INITIATES ADDITIONAL SHOWER/STORM DEVELOPMENT TO OUR WEST LATER THIS EVENING...THIS PRECIPITATION SHOULD TRACK ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT LIES WEST/EAST ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THIS PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE WITH US FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO DEGRADE INTO AT LEAST MVFR LEVELS OVERNIGHT...BUT IFR CONDITIONS IN STRATUS/FOG ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE IF THE RAIN DOES NOT BECOME AS WIDESPREAD AND THERE ARE BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS. ONCE THE NOCTURNAL CONVECTION MOVES EAST OF THE REGION TUESDAY MORNING...THE RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES IN THE AREA WILL KEEP SHOWER/STORM CHANCES IN THE VICINITY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE 00Z TAF PERIOD. THE BOUNDARY IN THE AREA WILL KEEP WINDS LIGHT/VARIABLE FOR THE MOST PART OUTSIDE OF STORMS. BAK && .PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED 220 PM CDT MON JUL 19 2010 SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE THIS PERIOD WILL BE WITH CONVECTION COVERAGE AND TIMING ALONG WITH AXIS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THE STORMS TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. SHORT TERM OPERATIONAL MODELS ONCE AGAIN HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME WITH THE CURRENT CONVECTION AND EVENTUAL PLACEMENT OF STORMS LATER TONIGHT AS ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY PUSHES INTO THE MIDWEST. LOOKS AS IF THE GFS MAY HAVE A MORE REALISTIC LOOK TO THE QPF AXIS LATE TNT AFFECTING AREAS JUST NORTH OF OUR CWA. MODELS MAY BE SHIFTING THE ACTUAL SYNOPTIC SCALE BOUNDARY TOO FAR NORTH LATER TNT WITH THE BNDRY CLOSE TO THE I-70 CORRIDOR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WL CONTINUE WITH THE HIGHEST POPS ACRS THE NORTH AND MENTION HEAVY RAINFALL...BUT AT THIS POINT...THE I-74 CORRIDOR CAN TAKE SOME RAINFALL AS IT HAS MISSED OUT ON THE BULK OF THE RAIN THIS AFTN. AT THIS POINT...WL HOLD OFF ANY FLOOD HEADLINES AND UPDATE THE ESF PRODUCT LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE POTENTIAL HEAVY RAIN EVENT TONIGHT. SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ONGOING ACRS PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY MORNING...WITH A TEMPORARY BREAK IN THE STORMS INTO THE AFTN...BUT MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER WAVE TO SHIFT ESE INTO THE MIDWEST RENEWING THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT LATER IN THE DAY...PROBABLY A BIT FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND SOUTHWARD SHIFTING SYNOPTIC SCALE FRONT. NOT REAL CONFIDENT ON BOUNDARY PLACEMENT (EITHER SYNOPTIC OR MESOSCALE) SO WL CONTINUE TO HOLD WITH OUR CURRENT 40 TO 50 POPS INTO WEDNESDAY. MODELS ARE CONSISTENT IN SHOWING THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING SLOWLY NWD AS SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE ENERGY PUSHES INTO THE NRN ROCKIES LATE WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL SHIFT THE FRONT FURTHER NORTH AND TAKE THE HIGHER POPS NORTH AS WELL LATER WED NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY UPPER LEVEL WAVE TRACKING ACRS THE NRN ROCKIES LATER IN THE WEEK WILL PUSH EAST ACRS THE UPPER LAKES LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY BRINGING A COLD FRONT SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA. TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT AND CONVECTION AHEAD OF IT STILL IN DOUBT WITH THE ECMWF A BIT SLOWER IN BRINGING THE FRONT SE INTO OUR AREA ON SATURDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE LOW CHANCE POPS FOR AT LEAST THE START OF THE WEEKEND WITH THE FRONT EXPECTED TO ACTUALLY PASS THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA. WL START TO TAKE PRECIP CHANCES OUT OF THE GRIDS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS ENSEMBLES SUGGEST SFC HIGH PRESSURE TO SETTLE SOUTHEAST INTO THE MIDWEST FOR LATE SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. 12Z ECMWF INDICATES BOUNDARY TO START SHIFTING NORTH ACRS THE AREA ON MONDAY...A BIT DIFFERENT SCENARIO THEN PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS SUGGESTED...SO WL KEEP MONDAY DRY FOR NOW. SMITH && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
