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 22, 7:58 PM EDT, 1 hour 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 22, 7:58 PM EDT, 1 hour 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
758 PM EDT SUN MAY 22 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL LINGER OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
THE WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES STAYING WELL ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL THEN BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE REGION
THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
WW333 HAS BEEN CLEARED BEHIND BKN LINE OF COOL POOL DRIVEN SVR DEEP
CONVECTION AND LIKELY WILL BE ABLE TO CLEAR ADDITIONAL COUNTIES
BEFORE WATCH EXPIRATION AS NC MTN ACTIVITY DIMINISHES.

DEEP CONVECTION WILL TAPER OFF LATE THIS EVE BUT EXPECT AT LEAST
SLIGHT CHC POPS OVER MTNS THRU THE NIGHT AS WEAK H5 VORTICES
CONTINUE TO MOVE OVER THE AREA. TEMPS WILL COOL INTO THE M60S ACROSS
THE PIEDMONT AND 50S IN THE MTNS. WX PATTERN MON LOOKS SIMILAR TO
TODAY BUT WITH A LITTLE LESS FORCING ALOFT. IN ANY CASE TEMPS WILL
WARM INTO THE 90S...80S MTNS AGAIN AND EXPECT CHC TSTMS MTNS INTO N
NC PIEDMONT...SLIGHT CHC AGAIN ACROSS S CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 2 PM SUNDAY...THE SHORT TERM FCST PICKS UP AT 00Z ON TUESDAY
WITH THE LONGWAVE H5 RIDGE AXIS WELL OFFSHORE TO OUR EAST AND THE
UPPER TROF AXIS FAR TO OUR NORTH OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION. NOT
MUCH CHANGE IS EXPECTED WRT THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN THRU THE PERIOD.
WEAK RIDGING AT THE SFC AND ALOFT WILL KEEP THE AREA IN A VERY WARM
SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN WITH SWLY LOW LVL FLOW EACH DAY/EVENING. ALL OF
THE OP MODELS GENERATE SOME DEGREE OF PVA EMBEDDED WITHIN NUMEROUS
WEAK SHORTWAVES THAT PROPAGATE TO OUR NORTH DURING THE FIRST 24HRS
OR SO OF THE PERIOD. THE LATEST 12Z GFS APPEARS TO BE THE MOST
BULLISH WRT SHORTWAVE AMPLIFICATION ON TUES...WITH THE NAM AND ECMWF
DOWNPLAYING THEIR AMPLITUDE AND PROXIMITY TO THE CWFA. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO GENERATE MARGINAL TO MODERATE INSTABILITY
ACROSS THE MTNS AND LOWER CAPE VALUES OVER THE PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS.
OVERALL...BEST CHANCES FOR SH AND TS ARE STILL LOOKING LIKE THE MTS
WITH ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE THREAT STAYING TO OUR NORTH. TEMPS
WILL CHANGED VERY LITTLE FROM THE PREVIOUS FCST WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOWER 90S FOR LOWER ELEVATIONS AND MID 80S FOR THE MTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF NOON SUNDAY...THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A
RATHER ABRUPT AND DRAMATIC PATTERN CHANGE IS IN STORE FOR THE
SOUTHEAST LATE IN THE WEEK...AS HEIGHT FALLS OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY...RESULTING IN MEAN TROUGHING THAT IS
EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. IN FACT...THE GFS
AND ECMWF ESTABLISH A RATHER DEEP UPPER LOW IN THE VICINITY OF THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS BY DAY 7. THE UPSHOT WOULD BE A TRANSITION
FROM VERY WARM/DRY MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS DURING MID-WEEK...TO A
WETTER AND COOLER PATTERN BY FRIDAY...CONTINUING THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.

WITH THIS IN MIND...HIGHER-THAN-CLIMO POPS (I.E. SOLID CHANCES) WILL
BE FEATURED IN THE FORECAST SUITE FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
THE END OF THE PERIOD. IT APPEARS THERE COULD BE AN ORGANIZED SEVERE
WX THREAT AS THE TROUGH APPROACHES THE REGION ON THURSDAY...WITH
PERHAPS A TRANSITION TO MORE OF A HEAVY RAIN THREAT NEXT WEEKEND AS
THE MATURING SYNOPTIC PATTERN FAVORS A CONTINUOUS FEED OF ABUNDANT
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. THIS SHOULD ALSO RESULT IN OCCURRENCE OF
CONVECTION BEING LESS STRONGLY TIED TO THE DIURNAL HEATING CYCLE...
SO SOLID POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

TEMPS ON THURSDAY WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL. HOWEVER...AS THE
COOLER/WETTER PATTERN ESTABLISHES ITSELF LATE IN THE WEEK...TEMPS
WILL BE AROUND...IF NOT A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL BY DAY 7.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...CHANCES FOR A TSTM OCCURRING NEAR THE TERMINAL REMAIN
SMALL THIS EVENING AS IT IS FAR LESS THAN CERTAIN HOW MTN TSTM
LINE WILL DEVELOP INTO THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...GIVING THE FCST OF
INCREASE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. OTHERWISE...JUST A SMALL POSSIBILITY
OF MVFR BR TOWARD DAYBREAK. SW WINDS COULD BECOME GUSTY MONDAY
AFTERNOON...AND AT THIS POINT...TSTM CHANCES REMAIN SMALL ENUF TO
NOT INCLUDE ANY CB MENTION.

ELSEWHERE...EVENING TSTM POSSIBILITIES WILL BE SEEN FROM
KAVL-KHKY...OTHERWISE FAIR TONIGHT...WITH AREAS OF MVFR BR
DEVELOPING. THE NW PORTION OF THE FA REMAINS UNDER THE BETTER
TSTM CHANCES MONDAY AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...MOSTLY VFR THRU THU AS A WEAK RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE
REGION. RESTRICTIONS WILL BE DUE TO LOWER CIG/VIS IN AND AROUND SCT
AFTN-EVE TSTMS EACH DAY...AND EARLY MRNG FOG. A COLD FRONT MOVES IN
FROM THE W FRI.

&&

.GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
