What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 13, 9:45 PM EDT, 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 13, 9:45 PM EDT, 38 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
945 PM EDT FRI MAY 13 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA
FROM THE WEST TONIGHT...AND WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE AREA ON
SATURDAY. THIS LOW WILL LINGER ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST THROUGH THE
FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED TO REMOVE COUNTIES FROM CLEVELAND TO UNION AND WEST FROM SVR TSRA
WATCH 299.

AT 945 PM...OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WERE ALONG AND WEST OF THE I-77
CORRIDOR. THE ENVIRONMENT EAST OF I-77 REMAINS MODERATELY
UNSTABLE...AND SVR RISK WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE NEXT HOUR.

ELSEWHERE...ISO TSRA AND SCT SHRA MAY REMAIN IN THE DEBRIS CLOUDS
ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NE GA. I WILL LOWER POPS TO
SCHC...BUT WILL INDICATE A SLOW RISE IN POPS LATE TONIGHT AS MID
LEVEL FORCING APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. MOST AREAS RECEIVED SOME
RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...LIGHT WINDS AND SATURATED SOIL
SHOULD SUPPORT THE FORMATION OF FOG LATE TONIGHT. MIN TEMPS MAY
RANGE FROM THE M50S ACROSS THE MTNS TO THE L60S EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 225 PM FRI...A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. MODEL SOUNDINGS OFF THE GFS AND NAM SHOW AMPLE
INSTABILITY FOR SHRA AND TSTMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE A COUPLE LIMITING FACTORS. A WELL DEFINED
SHORT WAVE WELL AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW OVER MO WILL CROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT AND PUSH EAST OF THE FA SAT MORNING. THIS WILL KEEP THE FA
UNDER NVA UNTIL THE AFTN HOURS. EVEN AS PVA STARTS TO IMPROVE AGAIN
IN THE AFTN...A WEAKNESS IN THE MID-TROPOSPHERIC WIND FIELD WILL
PERSIST ACROSS THE FA. WINDS UP AROUND H5 WILL ONLY BE AROUND 25 TO
30 KTS. LAPSE RATES ARE NOT VERY STEEP. AS THE UPSTREAM AIRMASS HAS
BEEN OVERTURNED BY CONVECTION THE PAST FEW DAYS...THIS MAKES SENSE.
THEREFORE...WHILE I THINK THERE WILL BE GOOD COVERAGE...I DON/T
THINK THERE WILL BE MORE THAN AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT. I DID CUT
POPS A HAIR...BUT I/VE KEPT THEM IN THE LIKELY RANGE.

WIND SHEAR WILL INCREASE OVER THE REGION ON SUNDAY AS THE UPPER LOW
CONSOLIDATES OVER THE MID-WEST. HOWEVER...THE LLVL AIRMASS WILL BE
MUCH DRIER AND MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE GENERALLY CAPPED. SYNOPTIC SCALE
FORCING WILL INCREASE LATE IN THE DAY...AND SCT SHRA WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NC MTNS WHERE NW FLOW WILL AID
ASCENT...AND OVER THE NC FOOTHILLS AND NRN PIEDMONT WILL LLVL
CONVERGENCE WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE LOW.

BY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY CONSIDERABLE SENSIBLE WX
DIFFERENCES DEVELOP BETWEEN THE MODELS. THE GFS QUICKLY MOVES A
STRONG UPPER WAVE ACROSS THE REGION BY MON AFTN. THE COMBINATION OF
INSTABILITY AND FORCING BRINGS QUITE A BIT OF PCPN THE
FA...ESPECIALLY THE NC ZONES...LATE MONDAY. THE EC IS MUCH SLOWER
AND DEEPER WITH THE WAVE...DROPPING IT TOWARD THE GULF. THEREFORE
IT/S DRIER ON MONDAY...BUT WETTER ABOUT 36 HOURS LATER. I COULD GO
ON AS NEARLY EVERY MODEL IS DIFFERENT. IN SHORT...FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS QUITE LOW STARTING MONDAY AND INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK WITH THIS PACKAGE. NOT SURPRISINGLY...THIS RESULTS IN A LOT OF
30 TO 50 PERCNET TYPE POPS FOR THIS PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 1200 PM FRIDAY...NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE PATTERN FROM WHAT WAS
OBSERVED BY THE MID SHIFT. A COMPLEX UPPER LOW...WITH SEVERAL
EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES...WILL BE ROUGHLY CENTERED OVER THE SRN
APPALACHIANS THROUGH WED BEFORE LIFTING TO THE NORTH IN RESPONSE TO
HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE SRN/CNTL PLAINS.

THE GFS IS FARTHER NORTH THAN THE EC AND CANADIAN WITH THE LOW
THROUGH MOST OF THE EXTENDED. THE 00 UTC RUNS OF THE LATER TWO
MODELS WERE ACTUALLY IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT AS THEY TAKE ONE SHORT
WAVE WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA MON NIGHT...THEN BRING IT UP THE COAST
ON THE E SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW TUE INTO WED MORNING. THIS RESULTS IN
SFC CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE ERN CAROLINAS. IF THIS HAPPENS...PARTS OF
THE FA WOULD SEE A GOOD RAIN EVENT LATE TUE INTO EARLY WED. I HAVE
FAIRLY HIGH POPS FOR THIS PERIOD...BUT OWING TO THE RUN TO RUN
DIFFERENCES IN THE FINER SHORT WAVE FEATURES OVER THE REGION...WE/LL
NEED TO WAIT A FEW RUNS BEFORE GOING ANY HIGHER.

CONDITIONS DO LOOK TO IMPROVE LATER WED INTO FRIDAY...THOUGH SOME OF
THE FASTER MODEL SOLUTIONS BRING PCPN BACK INTO THE FA BY THE END OF
DAY 7.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...SC UPSTATE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SHOULD REACH THE TERMINAL
BETWEEN 1Z TO 2Z. THE BOUNDARY SHOULD RESULT IN A WIND SHIFT TO WSW
AND A INCREASE IN CB POTENTIAL. THE TSRA RISK WILL DECREASE
SIGNIFICANTLY BY 6Z. LATE TONIGHT...HZ AND BR IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE TERMINAL. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT VIS WILL REMAIN
MVFR BETWEEN 9Z AND 12Z. MVFR LEVEL CLOUDS MAY DEVELOP AROUND
SUNRISE...I WILL KEEP COVERAGE LIMITED TO SCT WITH THE 0Z ISSUANCE.
MORE SHRA AND TSRA EXPECTED LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON...I WILL START
SHRA AND CB IN THE SKY GROUP AT 20Z.

ELSEWHERE...CONVECTION SHOULD BE OVER FOR KAVL...KAND...KGMU...AND
KGSP. TSRA MAY LINGER AROUND KHKY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
EVENING. WITH RAINFALL OCCURRING IN AND AROUND MOST TERMINAL
SITES...I WILL FORECAST DECREASING VIS THROUGH 12Z. MOST AREAS WILL
SEE VIS FALL TO MVFR BY LATE TONIGHT. KAVL SHOULD HAVE THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR IFR OR LESS VIS IN BR/FG. CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO
IMPROVE SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE...RETURNING TO VFR BY MID MORNING.
SHRA AND TSRA SHOULD REDEVELOP DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...SCATTERED CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS IN
THUNDERSTORMS MOST NUMEROUS OVER MOUNTAINS AND DURING AFTERNOONS AND
EVENINGS THROUGH END OF WEEK. MORNING MVFR FOG POSSIBLE WHERE RAIN
FELL THE NIGHT BEFORE.
