Scattered thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front that moved through west central and northwest Illinois.  The storms were essentially elevated in nature due to the lack of high winds at the surface.  In most cases the hail was marginally severe due to the higher reflectivities aloft barely getting above the freezing level.
