Hail and Damaging Winds in Illinois, June 30, 2019
An upper-level disturbance interacting with a nearly stationary frontal boundary draped across northern Illinois triggered several clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms during the afternoon of June 30th. The storms initiated in Wisconsin, then tracked southeastward into east-central Illinois mainly east of the I-55 corridor.

What happened
The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.
An upper-level disturbance interacting with a nearly stationary frontal boundary draped across northern Illinois triggered several clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms during the afternoon of June 30th. The storms initiated in Wisconsin, then tracked southeastward into east-central Illinois mainly east of the I-55 corridor. Wind gusts as high as 60-70 mph downed numerous trees and power lines, while hail as large as half dollars was reported in a few spots. Meanwhile further west, 40-50 mph winds along a thunderstorm outflow boundary blew a 6-inch diameter tree branch onto a man in Peoria. The man later died from his injuries.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 12:06 PM CST, 1 hour 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 106 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 .UPDATE... Issued at 1100 AM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 Updated the forecast this morning as isolated showers and thunderstorms dissipated by mid morning over east central IL with some patches of clouds along I-70 as it drifted slowly southward. An MCS over central WI with line of strong to severe thunderstorms nearing Madison in southern WI, will need to be watched closely. This convection complex is forecast to track more quickly SSE into central and especially eastern IL from mid afternoon thru sunset. Very unstable airmass already in place over central and nw IL with CAPEs of 2800-4200 j/kg and CAPEs forecast rise to 3500-5000 j/kg this afternoon ahead of storms. But also have a CAP/CIN over area though its weakening especially in eastern IL at late morning. SPC day1 update at 810 am continues a slight risk of severe storms over much of CWA for 15% risk of damaging winds and 5% risk of large hail from mid afternoon into mid evening. Latest RAP and HRRR models are mainly keeping convection over eastern IL from I-57 east during mid afternoon into mid evening. Other members of the CAMs are keeping areas from Lincoln sw dry thru this evening. Keep pops lower in sw/western CWA this afternoon/evening, though confidence is staying dry here is low. Aside from storms chances, we are also dealing with high heat and humidity for a 4th consecutive day. Ample sunshine this morning over much of CWA has warmed temps into the mid to upper 80s by 11 am, with Galesburg, Peoria and Pontiac already at 90F. Tropical dewpoints ranged from 69-76 and giving heat indices of 90-100, highest north of I-72 and from Robinson to Flora south. Highs to reach the lower 90s by early afternoon with heat indices peaking from 97 to 103 before storms move in. Still shy of heat advisory criteria of 105F, but will issue a special weather statement to address the high heat and humidity. West winds of 7 to 13 mph provide little relief from the heat again today. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 309 AM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 An MCS currently ongoing over northern Minnesota will drop southeastward into Wisconsin this morning. The system will likely undergo typical diurnal weakening after sunrise: however, re-newed convection will develop along its leading edge toward midday as it encounters an increasingly unstable airmass further S/SE. NAM suggests SBCAPEs in excess of 3500J/kg across Iowa into northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin this afternoon, which will help energize the storms as they track along the N/NE periphery of a strong upper ridge centered over the Plains. While there is still some uncertainty concerning the exact track of the convection, it appears it will drop sharply southward into central Illinois by mid to late afternoon, essentially riding along the edge of strong capping further W/SW. Latest CAMs are in relatively good agreement with the track/timing...with storms arriving across the far northern KILX CWA near Lacon by around 20z/3pm...then quickly dropping southward to the I-72 corridor by 22z/5pm. The main severe weather threats from the storms will be damaging wind gusts in excess of 60mph and large hail. Before the storms arrive, it will be another hot and humid day with highs once again topping out in the lower 90s. Convection will linger along/south of I-70 through mid-evening, then will exit the CWA into southern Illinois before midnight. Overnight lows will remain in the lower to middle 70s. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) ISSUED AT 309 AM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 Vigorous short-wave currently over Saskatchewan will track eastward over the next 24-36 hours, flattening the prevailing upper ridge over the Midwest. As a result, the main belt of the westerlies will flow from the Northern Plains eastward into the Great Lakes, keeping the MCS track well north of central Illinois. Therefore think hot and dry weather will prevail Monday/Tuesday with highs both days in the lower 90s. May eventually need to issue a Heat Advisory due to multiple days with heat index values of 100-105. The very warm/humid weather will continue through the remainder of the extended: however, temps will begin to drop slightly due to increased cloud cover and precip chances as numerous weak short- waves traverse the region in a largely zonal flow pattern. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 100 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 The MCS continues to track SSE at 45 mph with a line of strong to severe thunderstorms over southeast WI and northern IL. A few showers and thunderstorms have recently developed ahead of this line in northeast IL, north of Dwight. Strong instability ahead of this line over central/northern IL with CAPEs of 3300-5200 j/kg. Line of convection should continue to track SSE across central and eastern portions of IL during mid and late afternoon, and diminishing 1st half of this evening. Have thunderstorms with westerly wind gusts of 30-40 kts from 21Z-24Z, starting soonest at PIA and BMI, with SPI on sw edge of this convection. MVFR conditions possible during mid/late afternoon with thunderstorms especially ne CWA and vsbys possibly down to 1-2 miles in heavy rains. A break in weather is expected tonight after sunday and through midday Monday with convection chances focused north/ne of central IL. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
