A stationary frontal boundary extending from northern Missouri to western Kentucky triggered clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms across parts of central Illinois during the late afternoon and evening of May 14th.  Most of the storms were concentrated along a Rushville...to Springfield...to Salem line.  Scattered wind damage and hail as large as golf balls occurred across this area.  In addition, heavy rainfall of 2 to 3 inches led to localized flash flooding.
