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 Jun 9, 9:26 PM EDT, 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 9:26 PM EDT, 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
926 PM EDT THU JUN 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGING PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO PERSIST ACROSS THE
AREA. THE RIDGING WILL SHIFT EASTWARD OVER THE ATLANTIC WITH THE
APPROACH OF A WEAK COLD FRONT OVER THE WEEKEND. THE FRONT WILL MOVE
SOUTH OF THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK...LIKELY
PROVIDING MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT 930 PM EDT THURSDAY...WEAK UPPER RIDGING REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHEAST THIS
EVENING...WHILE WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WAS CENTERED
OVER SOUTHWEST VA. RADAR SHOWS GRADUALLY DECREASING CONVECTION
MAINLY OVER THE PIEDMONT OF UPSTATE SC...WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION
OF THE WESTERN NC PIEDMONT AND THE NORTHEAST GA PIEDMONT.
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DIMINISH...WITH A DECREASE
IN CLOUD COVER RESULTING. LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS ARE EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL UNDER THE
UPPER RIDGE. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT DEW POINTS VARY
CONSIDERABLY ACROSS THE AREA. WITH AS MUCH RAIN AS SOME AREAS
RECEIVED...FOG WOULD SEEM LIKE A FOREGONE CONCLUSION...BUT OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES HAVE BROUGHT DRIER AIR INTO SOME RAIN SOAKED
AREAS...AND PATCHY FOG WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN.

FRIDAY...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VERY SIMILAR TO TODAY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES SHOULD RANGE FROM THE U80S ACROSS THE MTNS TO LOW TO
MID 90S EAST. DEWPOINTS MAY RANGE 1 TO 3 DEGREE WARMER THAN TODAY.
CAPE VALUES SHOULD RANGE BETWEEN 1500 TO 2500 J/KG WITH MINIMAL CIN.
WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW AND RIDGETOP CONVERGENCE SHOULD TRIGGER TSRA
ACROSS THE MTNS BETWEEN 18 TO 20Z. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT
EAST OVER THE FOOTHILLS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BEGIN TO STABILIZE BEFORE THE CONVECTION
PUSHES EAST OF THE I-85 CORRIDOR. I WILL ADVERTISE CHC POPS ACROSS
THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS AND SCHC EAST. AS THE CASE THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS...A FEW OF THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER OR
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM THURSDAY...THE SHORT TERM LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE MAINLY
A CONTINUATION OF THE RELATIVELY FLAT UPPER RIDGE OVER THE REGION
WITH THE MAIN WESTERLIES WELL TO OUR N. THERE IS A WEAKNESS IN THE
RIDGE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT OUR
WEATHER. AT THE SURFACE...WE WILL REMAIN IN BETWEEN SEVERAL WEAK
CENTERS OF HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE THROUGH SATURDAY SO DIURNALLY
DRIVEN CONVECTION WILL BE THE RULE. TEMPS MAY BE A FEW DEGREES
COOLER THAN FRIDAY BECAUSE OF INCREASED CLOUD COVER. SUNDAY IS AN
INTERESTING DAY AS THE UPPER PATTERN STARTS TO CHANGE DURING THE
DAY. THE PROGRESSION OF AN UPPER LOW ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND
ONTARIO STARTS TO BUCKLE THE FLAT RIDGE OVER THE CAROLINAS. THE
MODELS SUGGEST THAT A COLD FRONT OVER THE OH VALLEY LATE SATURDAY
WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA ON SUNDAY. IF THE FRONT SLIPS TO THE SOUTH
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...THEN THE DAY COULD BE RELATIVELY QUIET AS
SUGGESTED BY THE NAM. AM THINKING THAT THE BOUNDARY WOULD HANG UP
OVER THE MTNS ON SUNDAY...WHICH MEANS OUR POP WOULD BE MORE LIKE
WHAT IS IN THE GFS. HAVE THUS KEPT A DECENT CHANCE ACROSS MOST OF
THE REGION IN THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS WILL BE SIMILAR TO SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM EDT THURSDAY...IT LOOKS LIKE THE PATTERN SHIFT WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE MEDIUM RANGE. THE GUIDANCE IS
RELATIVELY CONSISTENT WITH TAKING THE CLOSED LOW INITIALLY OVER
ONTARIO AT 00Z MONDAY AND DIGGING AN UPPER TROF OFF THE EAST COAST.
AS THE UPSTREAM RIDGE AMPLIFIES...WE WILL END UP IN A NW FLOW FOR
MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AS THE PATTERN AMPLIFIES...IT WILL PUSH THE
FRONT TO OUR SOUTH BY MONDAY MORNING. AS A RESULT...EXPECT A LOW
CHANCE FOR CONVECTIVE PRECIP ON MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGING DOWN FROM THE GT LAKES. AM TEMPTED TO REMOVE POP
ALTOGETHER...BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A FEW SHOWERS ALWAYS FORM OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING TO REALLY SUPPRESS THE
CONVECTION. THE PATTERN WILL SUPPORT MOVING THE HIGH CENTER PAST TO
OUR N THROUGH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE LOWER HEIGHTS AND EASTERLY
FLOW WILL SPELL A RETURN TO COOLER TEMPS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT
WEEK. ALL THE GUIDANCE IS A CATEGORY OR SO COOLER FOR MON-WED.
EARLIER RUNS EVEN SUGGESTED THE POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT PRECIP AND SOME
COLD AIR DAMMING FOR TUESDAY AND/OR WEDNESDAY. THERE IS LESS SUPPORT
FROM THE NEW GUIDANCE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN...BUT HAVE STILL CUT A
CATEGORY OFF THE TEMPS. ON WEDNESDAY...THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES WELL
OFFSHORE SO EXPECT A RETURN TO WARMTH AND DIURNAL THUNDERSTORMS ON
THURSDAY WITH A BERMUDA HIGH.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT...LIGHT NORTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME NEARLY CALM LATE
TONIGHT...WHILE CLOUDS DIMINISH. A RAIN SOAKED AIR MASS WILL SUPPORT
FOG TO EAST AT DAWN...BUT WITH MINIMAL RAIN AND LARGE DEW POINT
DEPRESSION AT FIELD...TAF VSBY WILL CARRY LOW END VFR AT DAYBREAK.
LIGHT SOUTH WINDS RETURN ON FRIDAY. YET ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN A MOIST
UNSTABLE AIR MASS...BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW FOR SPECIFICS AT THIS
TIME.

ELSEWHERE...CONVECTION AND CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING...WHILE
LIGHT NORTH WINDS GO CALM. MVFR FOG RESTRICTIONS AT A MINIMUM ARE
EXPECTED TOWARD DAWN AT KGSP AND KGMU WHERE HEAVY RAIN FELL THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH IFR EXPECTED AT KAVL AND KHKY. DEW POINT DEPRESSION
RATHER LARGE AT KAND. LIGHT SOUTH WINDS RETURN ON FRIDAY. MORE
SCATTERED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH
THE MOUNTAINS GETTING THE GREATEST COVERAGE AGAIN. CONFIDENCE IS TOO
LOW FOR EXACT TIMING AND PLACEMENT HOWEVER.

OUTLOOK...EXPECT DIURNAL CONVECTION EACH DAY WITH PATCHY EARLY MRNG
FOG...ESP MTN VALLEYS. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN
FROM THE NW SUN...THEN HIGH PRES BUILD IN FROM THE N EARLY NEXT WEEK.
