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 26, 2:34 PM EDT, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 2:34 PM EDT, 2 hours 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
234 PM EDT SUN JUN 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK STATIONARY FRONT WILL DRIFT BACK TO THE NORTH AND DISSIPATE
MONDAY. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST ON
TUESDAY AND SHOULD MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT OR
WEDNESDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK OVER THE AREA FROM
THE MIDDLE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1815Z...THINK THE OVERALL LACK OF STRONG INSTABILITY THIS
AFTERNOON SHOULD LIMIT COVERAGE OF COLD-POOL CONVECTION...SO
PIEDMONT POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED IN THE 30-40 PERCENT RANGE ACROSS
THE UPPER/WESTERN PIEDMONT...TO 20 TO 30 PERCENT FURTHER SOUTHEAST.
IN LIGHT OF THE STABILIZING AIR ACROSS THE MTNS...POPS HAVE BEEN
LOWERED TO THE CHANCE RANGE. HOWEVER...THE FAR WESTERN MTNS ARE
BEGINNING TO CLEAR OUT...AND SHOULD RECOVER SUFFICIENTLY TO INITIATE
NEW SCATTERED CONVECTION LATER TODAY...SO CHANCES WILL REMAIN IN THE
40 TO 50 PERCENT RANGE.

FOR TONIGHT...LINGERING CYCLONIC MID/UPPER FLOW WILL RESULT IN
CONTINUED CHANCES FOR ISLD/SCT CONVECTION (MAINLY SHOWERS) THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT. CONVECTIVE DEBRIS IS EXPECTED TO INHIBIT COOLING
SOMEWHAT...SO MIN TEMPS SHOULD AVERAGE A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL.

FOR MONDAY...THE SHORT TERM MODELS ARE NONE-TOO THRILLED WITH
DIURNAL CONVECTIVE CHANCES TOMORROW. THIS APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO
RISING HEIGHTS AND INCREASINGLY ANTICYCLONIC UPPER FLOW. ALSO...
SHEAR WILL BE WEAKENING...LOWERING THE POTENTIAL FOR COLD POOL
ORGANIZATION. NEVERTHELESS...HOT TEMPERATURES (LOWER-MID 90S) SHOULD
RESULT IN AT LEAST MODERATE INSTABILITY DURING THE AFTERNOON...SO
FEEL THAT IT IS PRUDENT TO HOLD ON TO INHERITED CHANCE POPS.
HOWEVER...WE DID LOWER THESE TO 30 PERCENT IN MOST AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY...MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT PUSHING THE COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE AREA TUE-TUE EVE...THEN OFF SE OF THE AREA TUE
NIGHT-WED. A WEAK SHORTWAVE ALOFT COMBINED WITH LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AND TEMPS WARMING INTO THE MID 90S E OF
THE MTNS...EXPECT SOLID CHC POPS ACROSS THE CWA TUE-TUE EVE...
TAPERING OFF FROM THE NW TUE NIGHT. HIGH PRES RIDGES INTO THE CWA
FROM THE N WED AND HAVE SLIGHT CHC POPS DIMINISHING FROM THE N AS
THE FRONT CONTINUES TO EXIT TO THE SE. HIGH WILL BE COOLER WED AFTN
BUT STILL ABOVE AVG.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM SUNDAY...UPPER RIDGE AXIS OVER THE S PLAINS WED
NIGHT-THU WILL MOVE E OVER THE S MS VALLEY FRI-SAT BEFORE MOVG BACK
TO THE W ON SUN. AFTER COOLING TO NEAR AVG WED NIGHT...HIGH PRES
WILL RIDGE OVER THE AREA FROM THE NE DURING THE DAY THU...THEN FROM
THE E TO SE THRU SAT. WITH SLY LOW LEVEL FLOW KEEPING SOME MOISTURE
OVER THE REGION HELD ON TO A SLIGHT CHC OF MAINLY MTN SHWRS/TSTMS
EACH AFTN-EARLY EVE. EXPECT TEMPS TO BE ABOVE AVG THRU THE PD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...THE MAIN CONCERN THIS PERIOD WILL BE THE THREAT FOR
CONVECTION...IN ASSOCIATION WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PUSHING OUT OF THE
MTNS ATTM. THE AIRMASS OVER THE PIEDMONT STILL IS NOT ALL THAT
UNSTABLE...AND IN FACT NEW STORMS ARE STRUGGLING TO GET THEIR ACT
TOGETHER ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS. NEVERTHELESS...EXPECT SCATTERED
STORMS TO EVENTUALLY GET INTENSIFY ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND FAR
WESTERN PIEDMONT...AND MOVE GRADUALLY TOWARD KCLT BY EARLY EVENING.
A CB HAS BEEN INCLUDED FOR THE TIME BEING...AND WILL INTRODUCE
SOMETHING MORE DEFINITIVE AS THIS AFTERNOON/S RADAR TRENDS DICTATE.
OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

ELSEWHERE...SCATTERED CONVECTION IS FIRING NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE IN
ASSOCIATION WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MOVING OUT OF THE MTNS. SINCE IT
IS ALREADY CLOSE TO MOST OF OUR SC TERMINALS...AND KHKY/KAVL...HAVE
STARTED OUT THE PERIOD WITH A CB GROUP. BY 19Z OR SO...EXPECT VCTS
AT THE SC TERMINALS...AS THESE LOCATIONS ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE MOST
UNSTABLE AIRMASS. AT KHKY/KAVL...THE CLOUDS AND COOLER AIR WEST OF
THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MAY PRECLUDE MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACTIVE TS
ACTIVITY NEARBY. HOWEVER...SHOWERS APPEAR LIKELY...ESP AT KAVL.
OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...GOOD CHANCE OF AFTERNOON STORMS CONTINUING THROUGH AT
LEAST MID-WEEK. IN ADDITION...SOME MORNING FOG WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESP IN THE MTN VALLEYS.

&&

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