The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.
Rain with a few embedded thunderstorms overspread southeast Illinois on June 19th as the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill tracked into the Ohio River Valley. Due to strong low-level wind shear near the track of the system, many of the storms exhibited rotation. Three tornadoes touched down during the afternoon of the 19th...one in Lawrence County and two in Richland County. The tornadoes were all rated EF0 and caused only minor damage and no injuries.
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 Jun 19, 11:54 AM CST, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 1254 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2015 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 1045 AM CDT FRI JUN 19 2015 WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR SOUTHERN 6 COUNTIES THROUGH TONIGHT WHERE ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN IS LIKELY TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BILL WAS ALONG THE MO/AR BORDER AND IS EXPECTED TO TRACK ENE TO NEAR THE SOUTHERN TIP OF IL BY SUNSET AND TO NEAR LOUISVILLE KY BY 12Z/SAT. MODELS HAVE BEEN SHOWING MOST OF THE QPF FROM I-72 SOUTH TODAY WITH HEAVY QPF OVER SOUTHEAST IL AND CURRENT FORECAST HANDLED THAT WELL. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.75 TO 2.2 INCHES OVER SOUTHEAST IL SUPPORTS HEAVY RAIN THREAT. SPC HAS MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE STORMS IN FAR SOUTHEAST IL NEAR LAWRENCE COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY FOR GUSTY WINDS. THICK CANOPY OF CLOUDS TO KEEP HIGHS BETWEEN 75-80 OVER MOST OF CENTRAL/SE IL WITH WARMEST POINTS FAR SW BY LAWRENCEVILLE/MOUNT CARMEL AIRPORT AND FAR NW BY KNOX AND STARK COUNTIES WHERE MORE SUNSHINE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY) ISSUED AT 311 AM CDT FRI JUN 19 2015 07Z/2AM SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM NORTHERN INDIANA TO CENTRAL MISSOURI...GENERALLY ALONG A KANKAKEE...TO BLOOMINGTON...TO QUINCY LINE. MEANWHILE...REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BILL ARE CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. COLD FRONT SINKING SLOWLY SOUTHWARD WILL TEND TO SHUNT BILL TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY AND TONIGHT. 00Z JUNE 19 MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEM FROM THE OZARKS THIS MORNING TO FAR SOUTHERN INDIANA BY SATURDAY. WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRACK...AREAS ALONG/SOUTH OF I-70 WILL BE FAVORED FOR THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL TODAY. WILL HOWEVER NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON RADAR IMAGERY...AS A BAND OF RAIN FURTHER FROM THE CENTER OF THE LOW COULD POTENTIALLY COME NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND ESSENTIALLY STALL AS THE SYSTEM PIVOTS NORTHEASTWARD. AT THIS POINT...NO MODEL SOLUTION SUPPORTS THIS...ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT RADAR MOSAIC SHOWING A SOLID RAIN BAND ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI CERTAINLY SUGGESTS IT. ITS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT EXACTLY WHERE THE RAIN BAND WILL EVENTUALLY END UP...BUT BASED ON THE TRACK OF THE LOW...THINK IT WILL BE NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF THE I-72 CORRIDOR. HAVE THEREFORE GONE WITH LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS FROM I-72 SOUTHWARD. FURTHER NORTH...HAVE GONE WITH A DRY FORECAST NORTH OF A CANTON TO BLOOMINGTON LINE. .LONG TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 311 AM CDT FRI JUN 19 2015 RAIN WILL CONTINUE ALONG/SOUTHEAST OF A CHAMPAIGN TO SPRINGFIELD LINE THIS EVENING...THEN WILL SLOWLY PULL EASTWARD AS LOW PRESSURE TRACKS INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. ALL MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE NOW SHOWING A MORE COMPACT AREA OF PRECIP WITH THE LOW AND ALL SHIFT IT EASTWARD INTO INDIANA/KENTUCKY BY 18Z SATURDAY. AS A RESULT...WILL ONLY CARRY A LOW CHANCE POP ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST CWA SATURDAY MORNING...FOLLOWED BY HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS EVERYWHERE SATURDAY AFTERNOON. NEXT COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST SATURDAY NIGHT...TRIGGERING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE MOIST AIRMASS ACROSS THE REGION. MODEL CONSENSUS TAKES THE FRONT TO NEAR I-55 BY 12Z SUN...SO HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE SE CWA DRY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. AFTER THAT...BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY THROUGH MIDWEEK AS UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING SLOWLY BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION. MODELS ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE EXACT STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE...BUT IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT IT WILL NEVER BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH THE FRONT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE AREA. THIS WILL MEAN A CONTINUATION OF AT LEAST LOW CHANCE POPS SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE A RELATIVELY DRY DAY AS THE RIDGE REACHES ITS MAXIMUM STRENGTH BEFORE GRADUALLY BREAKING DOWN BY THE END OF THE WEEK. MAIN WEATHER STORY IN THE EXTENDED WILL BE THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY...AS HIGH TEMPS REACH THE UPPER 80S/LOWER 90S AND DEWPOINTS RISE WELL INTO THE 70S NEXT WEEK. THERE ARE HOWEVER SIGNS THAT THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN AND A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH ILLINOIS BY THE END OF THE WEEK. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 1255 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2015 REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BILL OVER SOUTHEAST MO REFLECTED BY 1008 MB SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AND 582 DM 500 MB LOW...WILL TRACK ENE TO THE SOUTHERN TIP OF IL BY SUNSET AND INTO NE KY BY 18Z/1 PM SAT.
