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 20, 1:17 AM EDT, 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 1:17 AM EDT, 20 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
117 AM EDT MON JUN 20 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK STATIONARY FRONT WILL LINGER IN OUR AREA BEFORE MOVING NORTH
AS A WARM FRONT EARLY IN THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE
AREA. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL REACH THE AREA LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
0515 UTC UPDATE...UPDATED POPS AND SKY COVER...AS WELL AS QPF...FOR
LATEST RADAR TRENDS.

     PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

QUICK UPDATE TO ADD SVR TSRA WATCH 517 ACROSS WESTERN NC EAST INTO
THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. AT 2Z...A POTENT MCS WAS LOCATED
NEAR CROSSVILLE...IN EAST TN. THE LINE WAS MOVING SOUTHEAST AROUND
35 MPH. THE ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF THE LINE CONTAINS MODERATE
INSTABILITY WITH GATHERING DIURNAL CIN. STEERING FLOW WILL BRING THE
BRUNT OF THE ACTIVITY ACROSS EXTREME WESTERN NC AND SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. THE LINE IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN
WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE AND AREAS OF LARGE HAIL.

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH THE NIGHT IN
ANTICIPATION OF THE ARRIVAL OF ADDITIONAL MCS/S.

ON MONDAY THE STRONG MCV NOW OVER SRN IN WILL MOVE INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES...TURNING THE LLVL WINDS MORE OUT OF THE NW AND
WEAKENING THEM CONSIDERABLY. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY
OVER THE REGION AND SOME CONVERGENCE ACROSS THE NC FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT. SPC HAS THIS AREA IN A DAY 2 SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
STORMS. CONSIDERING THAT THE LLVL CAPPING INVERSION WILL WORK NORTH
ACROSS THE REGION...WE MAY ONCE AGAIN HAVE TROUBLE INITIATING
CONVECTION. I HAVE CHANCE POPS IN THE NE PART OF THE FA TO ACCOUNT
FOR THIS. IF STORMS DO FORM THEY WILL CERTAINLY HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO BECOME SEVERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 110 PM SUNDAY...19/12 UTC SHORT RANGE MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT
IN DEPICTING BLDG UPPER RIDGE ATOP THE CWFA ON TUESDAY. THE
RESULTANT VERY WEAK FLOW AND WEAKLY FORCED ENVIRONMENT SHOULD LIMIT
DIURNAL DEEP CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY AWAY FROM THE HIGHER
TERRAIN...WHERE THE FCST SNDGS STILL LOOK TO REMAIN CAPPED. THE HEAT
WAVE WILL CONTINUE AND THE GOING SWATH OF MID TO UPPER 90S MAX TEMPS
LOOK GOOD.

UPPER RIDGING TO GIVE WAY TO FALLING HEIGHTS ON WEDNESDAY...AND
THERE WILL EXIST THE POTENTIAL FOR ENERGY TO RIDE UP THE BACKSIDE OF
THE EASTWARD SHIFTING RIDGE. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INFLUX OF
INCREASED LAYER RH...THE CHANCES FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON TSTMS ARE
BECOMING MORE PROBABLE...ESPECIALLY ACRS THE MTNS. IT SHOULD BE THE
LAST VERY HOT DAY FOR A SHORT WHILE AS PIEDMONT MAX TEMPS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE SOLIDLY IN THE MID 90S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1215 PM SUNDAY...L/WV TROUGH AXIS ACRS THE CENTRAL CONUS AT
THE START OF THE PERIOD IS STILL EXPECTED TO EXHIBIT A MODEST
EASTWARD PROGRESSION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. PREFER TO LEAN TOWARD THE
LESS AMPLIFIED EVENTUALITY THAT THE ECMWF SHOWS...BUT AT THIS
POINT...AMPLIFICATION QUESTIONS WILL HAVE LITTLE AFFECT ON THE FCST
SENSIBLE WX. WITH THE PRESENCE OF TROUGHINESS DEVELOPING INTO
THE EASTERN CONUS AND THE ENCROACHMENT OF AN ATTENDANT FRONTAL
ZONE...FEEL ABOVE CLIMO POP IS WARRANTED EACH DAY AND TEMPERATURES
WILL BE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE EARLY SUMMER NORMALS.

A TREND TOWARD DEAMPLIFYING AND FLATTER FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED NEXT
WEEKEND AS SW CONUS RIDGING EXPANDS EASTWARD AND THE WESTERLIES
RETREAT NORTHWARD. WEAK FRONTAL ZONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHIFT BACK
NORTH AS WELL. IT IS SHAPING UP TO BE A PRETTY TYPICAL SUMMER
WEEKEND...MAX TEMPS ABOUT A CATEGORY ABOVE NORMAL AND DAILY DIURNAL
TSTM PROBABILITIES IN THE CHANCE RANGE.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...VFR WITH ANVIL CIRRUS DEBRIS UNTIL CUMULUS DEVELOPS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
BECOME LIGHT WNW BY DAYBREAK...SHIFTING TO NORTH AND THEN NORTHEAST
THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

ELSEWHERE...IFR CIG RESTRICTIONS WILL FOLLOW CONVECTION FROM K1A5
TOWARD KAND IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. VLIFR CIG AND VSBY WILL SET UP
NEAR K1A5 TOWARD DAWN FROM RAIN COOLED AIR. GUIDANCE SUPPORTS MVFR
FOG AT KAVL WHERE COOL AIR WILL POOL IN THE VALLEY. FOG MAY BE A
POSSIBILITY AT KAND AS WELL DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN IS RECEIVED
FROM INCOMING CONVECTION. OTHERWISE... VFR...WITH ANVIL DEBRIS
CIRRUS GIVING WAY TO CUMULUS BY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS WILL
SHIFT FROM CALM OR LIGHT WSW TONIGHT...TO WNW BY MORNING...THEN N
AND NE THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT ARRIVES.

OUTLOOK...MOUNTAIN VALLEY FOG AT DAYBREAK. OTHERWISE VFR TUE...THEN
RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE IN CONVECTION MID TO LATE WEEK.
