What happened

The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.

A line of thunderstorms developed across eastern Iowa during the early evening of June 15th, then tracked southeastward along an advancing warm front into central Illinois during the late evening of the 15th into the early morning hours of the 16th. Two tornadoes touched down along the leading edge of the storms...one just southwest of South Pekin in Tazewell County and another near Bellflower in McLean County. Minor damage was reported with both tornadoes. Elsewhere around the area, 50-60 mph wind gusts caused scattered damage.

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.

NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 15, 7:54 PM CST, 43 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
854 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 853 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019

Next round of severe weather is quickly approaching the northwest
CWA, as a QLCS moves through northwest Illinois and down into
northern Missouri. Severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for
areas near/northwest of the Illinois River. PoP's have been
updated to reflect the latest timing of this system; the eastern
CWA will see a couple more hours of dry weather, before the line
arrives.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019

An active short term forecast period is in store for much of
central and southeast IL for the next 24-36 hours. First of all, a
Tornado Watch is in effect along and east of I-57 - but south of
Champaign/Vermilion counties - into mid-evening. An MCV, from
early morning convection across MO, has shifted into central IL in
Christian/Shelby counties. This feature is expected to enhance
severe thunderstorm potential in eastern IL into early evening. A
convergent low level wind flow and increasing instability near a
boundary just south of I-70 will provide the focus for convection
as it slowly lifts northward. Effective shear parameters in this
same area will provide the potential for a few supercells into
early evening.

In addition, convective clusters from southern MN into central IA
are expected to form into an MCS this evening, and move toward the
IL River Valley from late evening through midnight. The heaviest
rainfall this evening into early Sunday morning is expected to be
south of a Beardstown-Lincoln-Danville line, where another inch or
so of rain is anticipated. Much of this area has already had 1 to
3 inches of rain since last night, so the Flash Flood Watch will
continue through 7 am Sunday.

Most of the shorter range models indicate that we may see a brief
break in the rain Sunday morning as a front/outflow from the MCS
pushes down toward I-70. However, various waves moving along this
boundary in a moderate westerly upper level flow will cause the
front to waver across central IL Sunday afternoon-evening,
resulting in yet another round of showers and t-storms.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019

The story of the wavering frontal boundary looks like it will
continue through much of the upcoming week. The medium range
models may have their differences in exact timing of various
systems during the upcoming week, but one of the things they have
in common is the continuation of a nearly zonal flow. This will
keep a frontal boundary either in or very close to central/se IL,
which will provide the focus for daily chances of showers and
thunderstorms in most areas.

The exceptions will be along the IL River valley and toward the
I-55 corridor Tuesday/Tuesday night, and then again later on
Thursday when we may see a brief respite from the rainfall.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 542 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019

A warm front draped over the region will result in generally light
winds along with periodic precip chances and lower ceilings. This
evening, thunderstorms are ongoing across portions of Iowa and
Missouri. These storms are expected to congeal into a line and
move east across the central Illinois terminals late this evening
and overnight. The wind field will likely become disrupted in the
wake of the storms resulting in low confidence in pinning down a
prevailing wind direction. In addition, low end MVFR and IFR
ceilings are expected to overspread the region and persist through
around midday tomorrow, then lift to higher end MVFR.
