What the National Weather Service wrote
A tornado touched down 3.8 miles north-northwest of Wenona in Marshall County, just west of County Road 2900E. Several trees and powerlines were blown down before the tornado crossed into LaSalle County, which is part of National Weather Service Chicago's county warning area.
The wider storm
A stationary frontal boundary extending from southern Michigan across north-central Illinois served as the focus for severe thunderstorm development during the late afternoon and evening of June 5th. A vigorous upper-level disturbance tracking across the Upper Midwest added extra wind energy to the atmosphere, allowing supercell thunderstorms to develop along the front. Eight tornadoes were spawned by the storms, mainly along a Galesburg to Eureka line. An isolated tornado formed further south across eastern Logan and western DeWitt counties as well. No injuries were reported.
Began near Wenona (41.1005, -89.0869).
