What happened
The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.
A warm front lifted slowly northward through central Illinois during the afternoon of May 20th. A few showers developed in the vicinity of the boundary...with one of the cells producing a brief EF-0 tornado near Oakland in northeastern Coles County. Meanwhile further west, scattered supercell thunderstorms formed in the warm sector ahead of a cold front crossing the Mississippi River. Some of the storms dropped hail as large as tennis balls (2.5 in diameter) across portions of Morgan County as they initially developed. As the storms continued further eastward, several weak tornadoes were observed: one near Latham in southeastern Logan County and four additional tornadoes further east across eastern Champaign County into Vermilion County. The strongest tornado was rated EF-1 as it snapped two power poles and damaged numerous trees near Armstrong and Potomac in Vermilion County. Further southeast, a downburst with estimated 90 mph winds created widespread wind damage on the south side of Westville in Vermilion County.
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 May 20, 11:27 AM CST, 57 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Widespread showers and thunderstorms will diminish early this morning over central and southeast IL, with many areas seeing 1 to 1.5 inch of total rainfall by 8 am with locally 2-3 inch amounts possible. Some of the storms could be strong to severe in Richland and Lawrence counties before dawn.
- Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms is possible this afternoon and early evening until sunset, with a slight risk (level 2 of 5) over nearly the entire CWA except far northwest portions of Knox and Stark counties where there is a marginal risk (level 1 of 5).
- Below normal temperatures are likely from Wednesday through the holiday weekend. Wednesday and Thursday will be the coolest day, with highs in the lower 60s over much of central IL, with lows in the low to mid 40s Wednesday night.

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Lincoln IL 1227 PM CDT Tue May 20 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Widespread showers and thunderstorms will diminish early this morning over central and southeast IL, with many areas seeing 1 to 1.5 inch of total rainfall by 8 am with locally 2-3 inch amounts possible. Some of the storms could be strong to severe in Richland and Lawrence counties before dawn. - Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms is possible this afternoon and early evening until sunset, with a slight risk (level 2 of 5) over nearly the entire CWA except far northwest portions of Knox and Stark counties where there is a marginal risk (level 1 of 5). - Below normal temperatures are likely from Wednesday through the holiday weekend.

Issued at 934 AM CDT Tue May 20 2025 *** MCV to Bring All Hazards Severe Threat This Afternoon *** Bottom Line Up Front: This event appears capable of all severe hazards, but sig. hail/wind seem unlikely. All in all, the latest SPC Convective Outlook (Slight Risk, level 2 of 5, with a 5% tornado/15% hail/15% wind threat) seems appropriate. A complex pattern is evident across the Midwest this morning, with a sfc low analyzed over SW IA and a stationary/warm front draped east across IA and then arcing to the SE, just south of the I-74 corridor as of 14z/9am. A mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) was evident in radar/satellite, located about 50 miles ENE of Kansas City, MO, and tracking ENE towards the ILX CWA. This MCV will be a key factor in the local svr storm potential today. Ahead of the MCV, patches of clearing are evident. Additionally, sfc temps across ILX in the warm sector are already near 70F. As the upper low approaches, 500mb height falls combined with some additional sfc heating beneath the partly cloudy skies should create moderate instability (1000-2000 J/kg of CAPE). Fcst soundings show steep mid-level lapse rates, but a relatively shallow updraft layer with equilibrium levels (ELs) between 300-400mb (around 25kft in this case). There is a wide CAPE profile through the hail growth zone (the -10 to -30 degC layer), resulting in "hail CAPE" values of around 600 J/kg (>500 J/kg considered supportive of severe hail). However, the warm cloud layer, which is the depth between the cloud base/LCL and the freezing level, is still fairly deep, around 7-8 kft, which would suggest some impacts of melting on the hail as it fell. Despite the steep lapse rates and supportive hail CAPE values, the thinking is that the shallow ELs and warm cloud layer will temper the potential hail size somewhat. Some severe hail is possible, but significant severe hail (>2") seems unlikely. Sfc wind fields from the CAMs depict S or SSW winds across the warm sector through the afternoon, limiting the low-level hodograph curvature. The concern, however, is that the influence of the MCV is not being properly modeled. Sfc obs from north- central and NE MO, immediately ahead of the MCV, are out of the southeast. Such a wind direction would enhance the low-level helicity and thus enhance the tornado threat, at least in a narrow corridor near/ahead of the MCV. Models do show strong 0-3 km CAPE (>100 J/kg) and low LCLs (500- 750m), both of which are supportive of tor potential. While low-level lapse rates are steep, the PBL is also quite moist (hence the low LCLs). This means that, unlike last Friday, conditions are not quite as favorable for negatively buoyant downdraft gusts. Fcst DCAPE values are around 800-900 J/kg, enough for some low-end severe gusts, which is reflecting in the HRRR wind gust output. Timing tools suggest the MCV reaches the western fringes of the ILX CWA around 18z, though convection could already be firing out ahead of it. Activity will then progress east through the afternoon, eventually exiting the ILX CWA by about 8pm. Erwin && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 400 AM CDT Tue May 20 2025 A strong MCS was over central/eastern IL and into western Indiana early this morning with widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms, though diminishing sw of a Canton to Lincoln to Shelbyville line at 4 am. Thunderstorms were focused over counties along the Indiana border. A tornado watch remains in effect until 8 am for Richland and Lawrence counties, though severe threat may pass east of the Wabash river by sunrise. The 09Z/4 am surface map shows 998 mb low pressure over far southeast Nebraska with a warm front extending ESE through northern MO into far west central IL near Quincy and extending se through Litchfield and Flora. Low pressure to track into central Iowa by 18Z/1 pm as warm front lifts slowly ne toward I-74. Low pressure system starts occluding late this afternoon and evening as it moves into northern IL and central IN by late evening, pushing cold front east thru central IL late afternoon/early evening. This will likely redevelop scattered convection in unstable air mass during early to mid afternoon and push east into Indiana during early/mid evening. Per latest SPC Day1 Outlook... Within the left exit region of the aforementioned mid level jet, a dry slot and attendant corridor of steep lapse rates will likely evolve across portions of MO to IL/IN from midday into this afternoon. To the north of this, a cluster of sustained storm development is initially anticipated towards mid afternoon, centered on central IL ahead of the surface low. Additional storms should develop farther south in time towards the Lower Ohio Valley. A mix of supercells and multicell clustering is anticipated, with isolated to scattered coverage of severe and all hazards possible. SPC day1 has slight risk over much of CWA (except marginal risk over nw parts of Knox and Stark counties) for this afternoon and early evening. There is a 5% risk of tornadoes and 15% risk of large hail in the slight risk area. There is a 15% risk of damaging winds east of the IL river. Highs today will be tricky depending on how far warm front gets and if we get any breaks in the low clouds. Currently we have highs in the lower 70s from Peoria and Bloomington north to the upper 70s to around 80F from Springfield to Terre Haute south. Have rather strong ESE to SE winds gusting 25-35 mph early to mid morning and turning sw to west after cold frontal passage late this afternoon or evening. A secondary cold front/trof pushes se thru CWA overnight with breezy west to NW winds gusting 25-30 mph on Wed and bringing in much cooler air. Highs Wed in the lower 60s over much of central IL and a few upper 50s north of I-74, with mid to upper 60s in southeast IL. Surface low moves into the upper Ohio river valley by midday Wed while a trof hangs back across the southern Great Lakes and northern IL, keeping more low clouds around along with a chance of showers/drizzle, especially from I-74 north. A weak system pushes eastward across the Ozarks and into the mid MS river valley Wed night with its showers passing south of CWA. Though lingering trof to our northeast will keep small chances of showers around into Thu especially northeast/eastern CWA. Highs Thu in the lower 60s with breezy NW winds (though not quite as strong as Wed). Lows in the mid to upper 40s Wed night in central IL and around 50F southeast of I-70. Cooler lows in the low to mid 40s Thu night. Forecast models deepen mid/upper level trof over the eastern States late this week with IL in a nw upper level flow and keeping temps on the cooler side, though some slight modification late this week into Memorial Day weekend. Canadian high pressure nosing down into IL from Hudson Bay by Friday to bring drier wx Friday. Still a spectrum of model solutions for wx systems ejecting out of the Central Plains during the Memorial Day weekend. Consensus has 20-30% chance of showers sw of I-74 on Saturday then 30-50% chance of showers Sat night through Monday. A reinforcing short wave trof digging into the western Great Lakes and IL on Monday/Memorial Day into Tue to keep temps below normal along with chances of showers and mostly cloudy skies/more cloud cover. 07 && .AVIATION... (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 1227 PM CDT Tue May 20 2025 A warm front is near the I-74 corridor, with IFR ceilings north of the front and MVFR/VFR ceilings to the south. A sfc low will track across the area this afternoon resulting in scattered showers/storms shifting from west to east. These should depart to the east of KCMI by 23z. Scattered light showers could continue into the evening, but the threat of thunder should end after 23z, or 00z at the latest. Overnight another push of MVFR, or perhaps IFR, ceilings arrives from the north. Winds will have a southerly component this afternoon, then shift to westerly tonight and become breezy into the daytime hours on Wednesday. Erwin && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. &&
