A narrow line of thunderstorms moved quickly northeast across southeast Illinois. The storms were located in a region of strong warm advection near a low level jet in excess of 50 knots. Marginal instability developed as a surface warm front lifted northward. Isolated wind damage events occurred in association with this line of storms. More widespread showers and storms over a large area produced heavy rain and isolated flooding.
