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, 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 7:15 PM EDT, 32 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.
