A weak upper-level disturbance interacting with a warm and humid airmass produced clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms across central Illinois on June 22nd.  Due to copious amounts of moisture in the environment and the slow movement of the storms, a few locations picked up between 2.00 and 3.00 inches of rainfall in a short amount of time.  As a result, flash flooding occurred in a large part of east central Illinois.  In addition, a few of the cells produced hail as large as quarters in Champaign and Logan counties.
