A nearly stationary frontal boundary extending from the Plains into the southern Great Lakes provided the focus for several periods of showers and thunderstorms across north-central Illinois on May 28th. A few of the storms became severe during the late evening of the 28th into the early morning hours of the 29th, producing isolated wind damage in Schuyler, McLean, and Woodford counties.

The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.
A nearly stationary frontal boundary extending from the Plains into the southern Great Lakes provided the focus for several periods of showers and thunderstorms across north-central Illinois on May 28th. A few of the storms became severe during the late evening of the 28th into the early morning hours of the 29th, producing isolated wind damage in Schuyler, McLean, and Woodford counties.
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.
NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 28, 8:07 PM CST, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 907 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 907 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013 WHILE MOST OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS HAS BEEN DRY THIS EVENING...AN AREA OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURRED ACROSS PORTIONS OF KNOX...STARK AND MARSHALL COUNTIES. SPOTTER REPORTS AROUND 3 INCHES WERE RECEIVED ACROSS PARTS OF KNOX COUNTY. THIS RAINFALL PRODUCED FLASH FLOODING IN SOME AREAS. THESE STORMS FORMED ALONG AN AXIS OF HIGH INSTABILITY ON THE WARM SIDE OF A FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE GREAT LAKES. COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF PRECIPITATION UPSTREAM HAS BEEN ON THE DECREASE OVERALL WITH DIMINISHING DIURNAL INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...STILL EXPECT AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. THESE STORMS WILL BE AIDED BY AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET ALONG THE SURFACE FRONT. HOWEVER...SOME OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS SUGGEST THE CONVECTION WILL BE A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA THAN IT HAS BEEN...LIKELY FIRING IN THE VICINITY OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THE EARLY EVENING CONVECTION. GOING FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE OVERALL. ONLY PLAN TO TWEAK FOR THE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT TRENDS. BAK && .AVIATION... ISSUED 645 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013 PREDOMINANTLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE CENTRAL ILLINOIS TERMINALS THROUGH THE 00Z TAF VALID TIME. CAN NOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS/STORMS FOR THE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD FALL NORTH OF THE TERMINALS CLOSER TO A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE AREA. SOUTHERLY WINDS SHOULD PERSIST TO THE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY...OUTSIDE OF ANY LOCAL STORM IMPACTS... BECOMING GUSTY DURING PEAK DIURNAL MIXING. BAK && .PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED 300 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013 COMPLICATED WEATHER PATTERN IN GENERAL MADE MORE COMPLICATED IN THE MODELS WITH A STRUGGLE WITH THE PATTERN SHIFT OVERALL. HOWEVER...FOR ALL THE NUANCES WITH THE WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA...THE ONE AGREED UPON PORTION IN ALL THE OPERATIONAL MODELS IS THAT CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL BE RATHER WET THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. WARM FRONT WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA...LEAVING ILX IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH WARM TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS IN A RATHER MUGGY AIRMASS. THIS WARMTH AND MOISTURE WILL HELP TO FUEL ANY MCS REMNANTS/BOUNDARIES THAT MOVE INTO THE FA...IN ADDITION TO THE OVERALL FRONT SCHEDULED TO MOVE INTO THE MIDWEST AT MIDWEEK. WITH SWRLY FLOW ALOFT...THE FRONT IS GOING TO LOSE ITS FORWARD MOMENTUM...SLOW MOVING...AND SLOW TO EXIT. AS A RESULT...ANY WAVES THAT EJECT OUT OF THE SW AND ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY INVOF WHEREVER THE FRONT LANDS...WHICH WILL NOT ONLY BE DIFFICULT TO PIN...FRONT WILL ALSO END UP GETTING INFLUENCED GREATLY BY MESOSCALE INFLUENCES/COLD POOLS/OUTFLOWS AS WELL. WITH GROUND ALREADY VERY SATURATED FROM PREVIOUS RAINS...THE FLASH FLOODING THREAT MAY GET A BREAK TOMORROW FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS...BUT IT WILL BE BACK BY THURSDAY. SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH CONVECTIVE INITIATION LIKELY TO THE WEST IN NRN MO JUST ACROSS THE MISS RIVER VALLEY. BOTH RUC AND NMM/WRF KEEPING SOME ACTIVITY...THOUGH THE RUC/RAP IS ACTUALLY CONFINING MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH. THE 4KM WRF/NMM DEVELOPS MORE OF A LINEAR COMPLEX THAT EVENTUALLY MOVES THROUGH THE FA TO THE SE AND WEAKENS AS IT TRAVERSES THE CWA. SHOWER THREAT FINALLY DIMINISHES BRIEFLY FOR WEDNESDAY...THOUGH THE THREAT OF ANY INTERACTION WITH THE WARM FRONT TO THE NORTH RESULTS IN POPS ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF THE STATE. WARM TEMPS...SOUTHERLY WINDS...AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL PUSH HEAT INDEX VALUES INTO THE UPPER 80S/NEAR 90. WINDS WILL BE RATHER BREEZY AND HELP TO COUNTER SOME OF THE EFFECTS...THOUGH CAUTION SHOULD BE USED BY ANYONE OUTDOORS TOMORROW. LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY... THE WESTERN TROF DIGS IN...AMPLIFYING THE WAVE PATTERN OVER THE CONUS AND LEAVING THE UPPER MIDWEST IN SWRLY FLOW...THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH WARM TEMPS YET AGAIN ON THURSDAY. TEMPS IN THE NW SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT DAMPENED HOWEVER...BY CLOUD COVER FROM APPROACHING BOUNDARY. IN ADDITION...DIURNAL CURVE WILL LIKELY BE SHATTERED BY THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY RUINING THE STEADY CLIMB OF TEMPERATURES IN ANY ONE SPOT AHEAD OF THAT BOUNDARY. FORECAST CONFIDENCE ABOUT DETAILS COMPLICATED WITH THE ELONGATED TROF IN THE ECMWF/NAM IS PROVIDING A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SOLUTION WITH THE SFC SYSTEM THAN THE NAM. THAT BEING SAID...THE ECMWF IS LOOKING A BIT MORE LIKE THE GFS IN THE 12Z RUN. THOUGH EVERYONE IS IN AGREEMENT ABOUT ENTERING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF PRECIP THROUGH DAY 5...THE DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS WILL IMPACT THE DYNAMICS AND ASSOCIATED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. FORECASTING ONSET OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIP ALONG THE APPROACHING FRONT. IN SUMMARY...THE RAIN IS NOT OVER AS LONG AS THAT FRONT WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM GETS SLOWED BY PARALLEL FLOW ALOFT.
