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 Apr 9, 7:15 PM EDT, 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 7:15 PM EDT, 10 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
715 PM EDT SAT APR 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD ATOP THE REGION FOR SUNDAY BUT GIVE
WAY TO AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN
RETURNS FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPDATED PRODUCTS TO REFLECT LATEST TORNADO WATCH 115. MADE OTHER
ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS/WX/TEMP/DP/RH AND WINDS FOR HTIS UPDATE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE POTENT UPSTREAM
MCV OVER THE OH VALLEY...WITH A STRONG MCC AHEAD OF IT. STRONG TO
SEVERE CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING TO THE SOUTH OF THIS FEATURE IN THE
VERY UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR AIRMASS. LAPS CAPE VALUES ARE ALREADY
AROUND 3000 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...AND ADDITIONAL DEWPOINT
RECOVERY IS LIKELY THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW.
FORCING IS BETTER NORTH THAN SOUTH THROUGH THE PM HOURS...BUT
HEALTHY SRN TIER POPS WILL BE NEEDED AS OUTFLOWS DEVELOP. THERE IS
CONSIDERABLE CIN TO BE OVERCOME IN THE SOUNDINGS ACROSS SRN
SECTIONS...BUT INSTABILITY WILL BE QUITE STRONG WHEN REALIZED.
FREEZING LEVELS AROUND 12 K FT...STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT...AND
IMPROVING SHEAR PROFILES WILL MAKE FOR A ROBUST SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. STORM CORES TO 22 OR 23 KFT
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR LARGE HAIL...AND VERY LARGE HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE ALONG WITH SIGNIFICANT WIND DAMAGE.

WARM ADVECTION WILL INCREASE ALONG THE 850 MB BAROCLINIC ZONE
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...WITH WARM ADVECTION THE STRONGEST IN THE
DEEPER MOISTURE ACROSS THE NE HALF. THE BEST LATE EVENING POPS WILL
BE FEATURED THERE AS THE MCV MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. PATCHY FOG IS
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT IN AREAS RECEIVING APPRECIABLE RAINFALL...AND MIN
TEMPS SHOULD BE ON THE MILD SIDE DESPITE THE SFC FRONT SAGGING BACK
TO THE SW.

UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL BUILD SHARPLY OVER THE AREA THE REST OF
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. 850 MB TEMPS WILL WARM ANOTHER COUPLE OF
DEGREES UNDER THE RIDGE TO PRODUCE A VERY WARM SUNDAY AFTERNOON. A
PLUME OF RICH THETA E AIR IS EXPECTED TO STRETCH ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA SUN AFTN...BUT A TRIGGER FOR CONVECTION WILL BE HARD TO FIND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT 215 PM SATURDAY...LARGER SCALE LIFT AHEAD OF DEVELOPING SOUTHERN
STREAM S/WV WILL OVERSPREAD THE CWFA LATE MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
IT IS STILL LIKELY THAT A ROUND OF FRONTAL BAND PCPN WILL AFFECT THE
AREA DURING THIS PERIOD...HOWEVER...JUST LIKE WHAT WAS FCST
YESTERDAY...TSTM MAGNITUDE IS QUESTIONABLE...WITH THE 09 UTC SREF
PROBABILITIES OF CAPE VALUES OF AT LEAST 1000 J/KG STILL VERY LOW.

PRE-FRONTAL PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ENUF TO DEVELOP BREEZY CONDS
MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND DESPITE ENCROACHING CLOUDS...ANOTHER WARM DAY
IS ON TAP. ENCROACHING DRY SLOT TUESDAY MORNING EXPECTED TO QUICKLY
DIMINISH PCPN CHANCES DESPITE AXIS OF MID-LVL WAVE NOT TRANSLATING
DOWNSTREAM OF THE CWFA UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY. WILL SHOOT FOR
INCREASING SUNSHINE WITH MAX TEMPS CLOSER TO CLIMO...ALBEIT NEAR
5 DEG F ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT 230 PM SATURDAY...IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS ENUF AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE 12 UTC OP GFS AND THE LATEST HPC EXTENDED PROGS IN DEPICTING
DEEP LAYERED RIDGING ATOP THE EASTERN CONUS FOR WEDNESDAY TO PROVIDE
DRY AND SEASONABLY MILD WX. THE ONSET OF INCREASINGLY MOIST GULF TAP
AHEAD OF ENCROACHING PLAINS SYSTEM IS SLATED FOR THURSDAY...BUT
WOULD EXPECT ANOTHER ESSENTIALLY DRY AND SEASONABLY MILD DAY.

IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN HOW QUICKLY AND TO WHAT DEGREE AFOREMENTIONED
SYSTEM GETS WRAPPED UP AS IT HEADS TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES BY THE END
OF THE PERIOD. THE ATTENDANT MODERATELY FORCED COLD FRONT WILL
STEADILY ENCROACH AS WELL AND IT/S PROBABLE THAT THE MILD AND
MOISTENING AIRMASS WILL PROVIDE FUEL FOR DAILY TSTM CHANCES IN THE
WARM SECTOR.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...CONVECTION CONTINUES TO BE MAIN CONCERN THIS
EVE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL PSBL. COOLER...MORE STABLE
AIR WILL BEGIN TO PUSH IN FROM THE NE AS WEAK SFC BOUNDARY DIPS BACK
TO THE SW...WITH ASSOCIATED MVFR/IFR CIGS KHKY AND KCLT AND NE WINDS.
WINDS WILL BE S-SW ELSEWHERE. CONVECTION SHOULD BEGIN TO WEAKEN BY
LATE EVE. LOW CLOUDS WILL SCATTER OUT UNDER THE BUILDING RIDGE
SUNDAY WITH VFR ACROSS CWA BY AFTN.

OUTLOOK....EXPECT SCT SHWRS/TSTMS WITH A COLD FRONT MONDAY. DRIER
HIGH PRES IS EXPECTED TUE AND WED.
