The radar

The Knoxville radar (KMRX), 133 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 03:27 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 flash flood 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 00:00Z, 3.4 hours before the alert went out and 182 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, Nov 28, 7:03 PM EST, 3 hours 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
703 PM EST MON NOV 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WILL MOVE NORTH
TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS ON FRIDAY....FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER AREA OF CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SFC LOW PRES HAS MOVED INTO SRN KY THIS EVENING...WITH THE
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ADVANCING NE ACROSS THE UPSTATE AND THE SRN
MTNS. THE DEEP MOISTURE PLUME IN THE STRONG WARM ADVECTION WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE NRN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH
MIDNIGHT...AND ADDITIONAL FLOODING IS HIGHLY LIKELY ACROSS THE NRN
NC MTNS AND ADJACENT FOOTHILLS. HAVE KEPT THE FFA UP IN ALL AFFECTED
LOCATIONS FOR NOW. THERE ARE STILL SOME LOW END GUSTS...BUT THE LAKE
WIND ADVISORY WILL PROBABLY BE DROPPED LATER THIS EVENING.

THE UPPER LEVEL COLD POCKET WILL SWING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM
THE SW FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUE...WITH SNOW LEVELS RAPIDLY
CRASHING. THE MODELS MAY BE UNDERDONE WITH THE COLD AIR SPILLING
DOWN IN THE MTNS...AND A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR LIGHT SNOW MAY
BE NEEDED IN THE SW MTNS WHERE QPF SHOULD BE BEST. WILL FULLY ASSESS
THIS WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE 00Z NAM...BUT HAVE PUSHED SNOW TOTALS
UP A BIT FOR NOW IN THE SW MTNS. CANNOT RULE OUT A RA/SN MIX EVEN
OUT ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT IF WE DO NOT SEE ENOUGH BREAKS
FOR ANY HEATING TUE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM MONDAY AFTERNOON...THE SHORT TERM FCST PICKS UP AT 00Z ON
WEDNESDAY WITH THE CLOSED H5 LOW LIFTING TO OUR NORTH AS ANOTHER
HEALTHY LOOKING UPPER SHORTWAVE DIGS DOWN JUST TO OUR WEST. THE
SHORTWAVE SHOULD MOVE OVER THE CWFA EARLY THURS WITH HEIGHTS QUICKLY
RISING BEHIND IT TO FINISH OFF THE PERIOD. ON WEDNESDAY...THE SFC
LOW WILL QUICKLY LIFT FARTHER NORTH AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES
INTO THE LOWER MISS RIVER VALLEY. I RAMP POPS DOWN PRETTY QUICKLY
FROM 00 TO 12Z AS PROFILES DRY OUT AND WE LOSE OUR SOUTHERLY UPSLOPE
LOW LVL COMPONENT. ANY LINGERING PRECIP WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED TO
THE NC MTS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE TN BORDER REGION. MODEL PROFILES
CURRENTLY SUPPORT MOSTLY SNOW OVER MOST OF NC MTS WITH MIN TEMPS FOR
EARLY WED IN THE UPPER 20S. ANY ACCUMS SHOULD BE LIGHT WITH THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS AROUND AN INCH. SKIES SHOULD CLEAR IN THE AFTERNOON
ALLOWING TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S FOR THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS AND MID TO UPPER 40S FOR THE MTS. ON THURSDAY...THE
CENTER OF THE SFC HIGH SLIDES TOWARDS THE CAROLINAS WITH DRY
PROFILES OVER THE REGION AND LIGHT WINDS. HIGH TEMPS CLIMB ABOUT A
CATEGORY FROM WED WITH VALUES IN THE UPPER 50S FOR THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM MONDAY AFTERNOON...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST PICKS UP AT
00Z ON FRIDAY WITH THE SOUTHERN STREAM H5 TROF AXIS JUST OFFSHORE
AS THE SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVES OVER THE CWFA. SOME DEGREE OF UPPER LVL
RIDGING IS STILL EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE FCST AREA THRU AT LEAST
DAY 6 WITH THE NEXT UPPER TROF APPROACHING EARLY NEXT WEEK. AT THE
SFC...HIGH PRESSURE WILL LINGER OVER THE AREA THRU THE WEEKEND WITH
THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE CWFA EARLY NEXT WEEK. NO SIG
POPS WERE CARRIED FOR DAYS 4...5...AND 6 WITH DAY 7 CARRYING A
SLIGHT CHANCE POP WITH THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM. HIGH
TEMPS WILL BE AROUND NORMAL OR A FEW DEGREES ABOVE WITH MIN TEMPS
ABOUT A CAT BELOW WITH FAVORABLE RADIATIONAL COOLING EACH NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...STRONG WARM ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT THROUGH AT LEAST 03Z...WITH SHRA SLOWLY
TAPERING OFF FROM THE S THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CIGS SHOULD
OSCILLATE BETWEEN IFR AND MVFR FOR THE NIGHTTIME HOURS...WITH SOME
RECOVERY TO VFR POSSIBLE BY LATE TUE MORNING. EXPECT SE WINDS EARLY
TO BECOME S TO SW WITH FROPA. SW WINDS WILL GUST JUST BEHIND THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE...AND THEN AGAIN WITH MIXING THROUGH THE DAY ON
TUESDAY. AS THE UPPER LOW PIVOTS BY...RAIN OR POSSIBLY EVEN LIGHT
SNOW SHOWERS COULD BRIEFLY DEVELOP LATE IN THE DAY...BUT CONFIDENCE
IS TOO LOW TO MENTION IN THE TAF.

ELSEWHERE... RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THROUGH 03Z...BEFORE SLOWLY
TAPERING OFF FROM THE SW IN THE POST FRONTAL COLD ADVECTION THROUGH
09Z OVERNIGHT. CIGS WILL VARY FROM IFR TO MVFR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. EXPECT SE FLOW TO TURN SW WITH FROPA AND GUST BRIEFLY...WITH
LOW END GUSTS POSSIBLY RETURNING WITH MIXING ON TUESDAY. THE BEST
CHANCE OF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE AT KAVL DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER LOW...HOWEVER A LIGHT RA/SN MIX
WILL BE POSSIBLE AT THE FOOTHILLS SITES AS WELL LATE IN THE AFTN.

OUTLOOK...GENERALLY VFR WEATHER IS EXPECTED THE REST OF THE WEEK. A
DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE IS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY.
