What happened
The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.
A weak low pressure system was located in southwestern Illinois on the afternoon of July 8, 2022, with a stationary front draped near the I-70 corridor. A secondary cold front pushed into central Illinois from the north, and scattered thunderstorms developed along both boundaries. As storm clusters progressed to the southeast, they produced isolated flash flooding, hail, and wind damage.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 11:33 AM CST, 2 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 1233 PM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 1026 AM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 Scattered chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue into the afternoon hours. Redevelopment later this afternoon into evening could pose a risk for scattered severe storms, mainly along and south of I-70. Cooler and drier weather is on tap for the weekend with temperatures in the low to mid 80s and lower humidity. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1026 AM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 Heavier rain has moved east into Indiana, with the flash flood watch having been allowed to expire at 10 am. Scattered thunderstorm development is anticipated from early afternoon into the evening hours, progressing from north to south behind the surface low. In addition, as the elevated baroclinic zone and mid-level trough moves across central Illinois overnight additional scattered shower/thunderstorm development is anticipated. 12z run of the HRRR is starting to depict this. Main changes at this update were to make adjustments to precip chances during the day today, as well as increase precip chances overnight primarily south of I-72/Danville. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 259 AM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 Surface analysis this morning depicts a quasi-stationary front situated from northern Missouri southeastward into the southern half of Illinois. Clusters of showers and storms fired up over northern Missouri around midnight with new activity that started up along the I-72 corridor around 2 AM as the LLJ veered into the area. The KILX 08.00Z upper air sounding captured a PWAT of 2.18", with forecast guidance indicating maximum values around 2.5". This paired with deep warm cloud depths and training storms will create an environment capable of heavy rainfall. Most CAMs continue to hone in on an area in west-central IL near and north of the I-72 corridor where the heaviest rains will fall through this morning. However, the latest few runs of the HRRR have shown a northward shift. All in all, 1-3" with locally higher amounts is expected within the axis of heaviest rain. Yesterday's storms produced widespread 1-2.5" of rainfall from roughly Macomb to Decatur southward, so these areas are the the most primed for a flash flooding threat this morning. 1 hour FFG in the previously mentioned area ranges from 1.5-2", with 3 hr FFG between 2-2.5". Decided to pull the Flood Watch up a tier of counties from Logan to Moultrie to account for any northward shift. Although heavy rainfall is the biggest concern, some of the storms could also be strong to marginally severe. The better parameters look to be just southwest of the forecast area though. Rainfall amounts elsewhere look to be around 0.5-1", which will help alleviate our recent dry conditions a little. The widespread storms should push east of the area later this morning though scattered activity will continue through early afternoon with the frontal boundary hanging around. CAMs continue to show an area of redevelopment later this afternoon over eastern and central parts of the state with activity progged to sink southward going into this evening. Strong instability and 30-35 kts of 0-3 km shear may support scattered severe storms mainly along and south of I-70 later today capable of damaging winds and large hail. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) ISSUED AT 259 AM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 The unsettled weather pattern comes to an end by this weekend as a high pressure works into the Great Lakes Region and sends the frontal boundary well south of here. Temperatures on both Saturday and Sunday will be in the low to middle 80s with more comfortable dewpoints arriving later Saturday into Sunday. Northwest flow remains positioned aloft through the start of the new week. Longer range guidance indicates that any waves rippling through the upper flow will stay north of the area, which would suggest a drier period setting up for us. The NBM continues to paint small chances of precipitation Monday night into Tuesday as a cold front moves through, but this may get washed out the further south it sags. Precipitation chances overall look minimal in the long term period. Temperatures look to be seasonal for much of next week, but may fall a few degrees below normal post frontal passage by the middle to end of the week. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon) Issued at 1233 PM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to redevelop this afternoon and continue through late evening. In addition, one more wave of showers/storms late tonight may affect SPI, DEC, and/or CMI. Largely MVFR conditions are forecast into tonight, with brief IFR conditions possible near thunderstorms or where cloud decks lower late tonight. VFR conditions are forecast to move in from north to south through the early morning hours on Saturday. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && UPDATE...AAT SYNOPSIS...AAT SHORT TERM...NMB LONG TERM...NMB AVIATION...AAT
