An impressive upper-level wave tracking across the Northern Plains helped push a strong cold front toward the Mississippi River by the evening of May 13th.  An increasingly unstable and sheared airmass across central Illinois allowed severe thunderstorms to develop in advance of the front.  Widespread wind damage occurred with the storms, with 4 tornadoes touching down around the area as well. The thunderstorms also produced torrential rainfall, with widespread 2 to 4 inch amounts reported. This produced flash flooding in much of central and southeast Illinois from the evening of the 13th until the morning of the 14th.
