The wider storm

A persistent frontal boundary draped across central Illinois continued to be the focus for strong to severe thunderstorm development during the morning of August 2nd. A low-level jet interacting with the boundary triggered the first cluster of storms across portions of Sangamon and Logan counties during the pre-dawn hours, with additional cells forming from Galesburg to near Lawrenceville as the morning progressed. The storms gradually dissipated and shifted east of the region by early afternoon. Scattered wind damage and flash flooding occurred.

Began near Neoga (39.3302, -88.4713).
