The radar
The Greer radar (KGSP), 129 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 16:39 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 4.6 hours before the alert went out and 150 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1144 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007
.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
THE ZONES WILL BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE THUNDER IN THE WEST NEAR THE
SURFACE LOW PER OBSERVATIONS AND RADAR RETURNS.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 1024 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007/
SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS ANALYZED AT 500 MB AT 12 UTC THIS MORNING
OVER THE LOWER OH RIVER VALLEY..WITH A 90 KNOT MID LEVEL JET MAX
SWINGING AROUND TO THE SOUTHWEST OF IT. THE SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS FEATURE EXTENDED SOUTH TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. AT THE
SURFACE...THE COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED ALONG THE APPALACHIANS TO A
WAVE IN SOUTHWEST NC...THEN EXTENDED SOUTH TO NORTH FL. A LULL IN
ACTIVITY WAS DEPICTED ON RADAR...WITH ANOTHER BATCH OF SHOWERS
BECOMING ORGANIZED WITH THE MID LEVEL COOL POOL OVER THE TN RIVER
VALLEY.
MODEL GUIDANCE SUPPORTS HIGH POPS THIS AFTERNOON IN THE MOUNTAINS
AND THE I-40 CORRIDOR...WITH CHANCE POPS TO THE SOUTH. THE ONLY
ADJUSTMENT WILL BE TO INCLUDE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LATE TODAY IN
THE FAR SOUTH...WHERE THE MODELS INDICATED MOISTURE SPILLING
AROUND THE BASE OF THE APPALACHIANS. INSTABILITY REMAINS ELEVATED
THIS AFTERNOON IN THE FAR EAST...AND THUNDER WILL BE INCLUDED
THERE.
MODEL SOUNDINGS DO NOT LOWER SNOW LEVELS IN THE MOUNTAINS LATE
THIS MORNING...BUT THEN LOWER THEM MORE QUICKLY THAN PREVIOUSLY
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...AND THIS CHANGE WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE
UPDATED FORECAST...WITH THE WINTER STORM WARNING REAMINGIN IN
PLACE ALONG THE TN BORDER.
TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING WARM THIS MORNING...AND A FEW DEGREES
WERE ADDED TO THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL OCCUR AROUND
MIDDAY BEFORE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND COLD ADVECTION ARRIVE.
NAM MODEL WINDS SUPPORT CONTINUING THE HIGH WIND WARNING IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND NC FOOTHILLS. MODEL WINDS WERE ADJUSTED UP IN THE
LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS TO ACCOUNT FOR MIXING OF HIGHER VELOCITIES
ALOFT...AND THE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE CONTINUED THERE.
PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 626 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007/
SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
IN LIGHT OF EVERYTHING ELSE...I/M AFRAID THAT THE FREEZING
TEMPERATURES IN THE NC MTNS FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS ON THE ROUTINE
ISSUANCE. SINCE THE FREEZE SEASON BEGINS TODAY IN THE MTNS OF THE
WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NE GA...HAVE ISSUED A FREEZE WARNING FOR
MOST OF THE NC MTNS...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HENDERSON CO. STRONG
WINDS AND COLD ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN AN ADVECTIVE FREEZE...WITH
ELEVATIONS ABOVE ABOUT 3000 FEET LIKELY FALLING TO FREEZING AS
EARLY AS LATE AFTERNOON.
THE FLOOD WATCH HAS ALSO EXPIRED. NOW THAT THE DRY PUNCH
ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEEPENING CYCLONE HAS OVERSPREAD THE FORECAST
AREA I DON/T SEE MUCH OF A FLOOD THREAT. HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL
A SMALL CHANCE OF A SEVERE HAIL EVENT AS LAPSE RATES STEEPEN AND
FREEZING LEVELS FALL.
SEA LEVEL PRESSURE AT THE OFFICE RIGHT NOW IS 994 MB. AS THE
SURFACE LOW DEEPENS AND MOVES TOWARD THE DELMARVA BY THIS
EVENING...A GRADIENT HIGH WIND EVENT IS STILL LOOKING GOOD FOR THE
MTNS AND WESTERN FOOTHILLS AS WE SHOULD SEE SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE
RISES LATER IN THE DAY.
NO OTHER CHANGES ATTM.
PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 601 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007/
SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
ZFP AND NPW HAVE ALREADY BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT ISSUANCE OF A
FREEZE WARNING FOR MUCH OF THE NC MTNS FOR TONIGHT/EARLY MONDAY.
PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 303 AM EDT SUN APR 15 2007/
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WILL LET THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH RUN THROUGH 10 UTC. THE PRODUCT MAY
NEED TO BE EXTENDED...BUT WE CAN WORRY ABOUT THAT IN A COUPLE HOURS.
PCPN HAS REDEVELOPED ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA AS LLVL FLOW
BACKS AN UPPER DIFFLUENCE INCREASES AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER
TROUGH. IT APPEARS THAT THE SEVERE THREAT EARLY THIS MORNING HAS
MOVED EAST OF THE REGION...BUT WITH DRIER AIR MOVING IN ALOFT...IT
IS POSSIBLE THAT STRONGER STORMS COULD DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. IN FACT...HODOGRAPHS LOOK QUITE INTERESTING THROUGH 12 UTC
AND WE MAY NOT HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF THE TORNADO THREAT THROUGH
SUNRISE IN THE EASTERN ZONES. LATER THIS AFTERNOON FREEZING LEVELS
WILL BE VERY LOW. BOTH THE MAV AND NAM HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF CAPE IN
THE NC PIEDMONT AND EASTERN FOOTHILLS..ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE
LOW EL/S...SO A FEW SEVERE HAIL EVENTS LOOKS QUITE POSSIBLE IN THIS
AREA LATER IN THE DAY.
HAVE UPGRADED THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING IN ALL THE
COUNTIES WHERE THE WATCH IT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN EFFECT. THIS INCLUDES
THE MOUNTAINS OF NC...SC AND NE GA AND THE WESTERN NC FOOTHILLS.
PLAN TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY EAST OF THERE FOR THIS AFTERNOON...AS
WINDS COULD GUSTS INTO THE MID 40 MPH RANGE JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE AS
STRONG COLD ADVECTION MIXING MOVE INTO THE REGION IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON. WIND THREAT WILL BE WITH US FOR A WHILE. MET GUIDANCE HAS
MID 30 KT SUSTAINED WINDS AT KAVL TMRW...BUT THIS IS PROBABLY A BIT
ON THE HIGH SIDE. FOR NOW WILL JUST RUN THE WARNING THROUGH THE END
OF THE DAY TOMORROW AND WILL LET LATER SHIFTS JUDGE WHETHER IT NEEDS
TO BE EXTENDED IN TIME OR SPACE. I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF
SEEING DAMAGING WINDS IN THESE AREAS LATE TODAY AS THE GFS HAS 60+
KT H8 WINDS OVER A GOOD BIT OF THE FA...QUITE RARE FOR THE GFS.
THE OTHER ISSUE FOR LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT IS SNOWFALL. TEMPS FALL
DRAMATICALLY FROM THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON
AS THE UPPER LOW ROUNDS INTO THE REGION. SNOW LEVELS WILL QUICKLY
DROP AND WE SHOULD SEE A BURST OF 3 TO 6 HRS OF HEAVY SNOW ABOVE
3500 FEET BEGINNING 18 UTC IN THE SW AND SPREADING ACROSS THE REST
OF THE HIGH TERRAIN BY AROUND 2100 UTC. I HAVE ISSUED A WARNING FOR
ALL ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAIN COUNTIES THROUGH NOON
TOMORROW...BUT JUST FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3500 FEET THROUGH TONIGHT
FOR FROM MADISON COUNTY DOWN TO SWAIN. THIS LINES UP WITH A LOCAL
SNOW TOOL THAT WE USE...AND MAKES SENSE WITH THE RATHER WARM H8
TEMPS.
RUNNING OUT OF TIME...SO I WON/T GO INTO DETAIL ON LATER TIME
PERIODS...BUT WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH TOMORROW NIGHT AS THE GRADIENT
REMAINS VERY TIGHT ALONG THE LEE AND WINDS MAY NOT ABATE IN SOME OF
THE MOUNTAIN GAPS.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NO CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED PART OF THE FORECAST WITH THIS
PACKAGE.
AVIATION /07Z-06Z/...
A COMPLEX AVIATION FORECAST OVER THE NEXT 6-8 HOURS...AS GUIDANCE
DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE SITUATION. LIFR
CIGS/IFR VISBY WERE ONGOING AT MOST TERMINALS OUTSIDE OF KAVL AT
06Z. THIS APPEARS TO BE TIED TO A WEAK STATIONARY FRONT THAT HAS
DEVELOPED JUST SOUTH OF A LINE FROM KGSP TO KCLT. WE DON/T EXPECT
THIS BOUNDARY TO MOVE A WHOLE LOT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
HOWEVER...IT WILL NOT HAVE TO MOVE FAR TO CREATE HAVOC WITH CIGS/
VISBY. IN ADDITION...HEAVIER SHOWERS MOVING OVER THE AREA MAY
ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE LOW CIGS/VISBY FROM TIME TO TIME...MAKING THE
SITUATION EVEN MORE COMPLEX. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FORECAST LIFR/IFR
CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH INDICATE GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT THROUGH 12Z.
AFTERWARDS...CIGS SHOULD INCREASE TO MVFR SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE...AS
THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNS TO THE SOUTHWEST. WINDS WILL BECOME VERY
STRONG AND GUSTY OUT OF THE WEST/NORTHWEST BY EARLY AFTERNOON IN THE
WAKE OF STRONG COLD FRONT.
