MOOREWhat 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 Jul 3, 5:58 PM EDT, 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 5:58 PM EDT, 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 558 PM EDT TUE JUL 3 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MID WEEK AND SWING EAST BY FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL INTO THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 2200 UTC UPDATE...POPS AND QPF HAVE SHIFTED TO THE SC PIEDMONT AND NE GA...AS WELL AS THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS IN NC. WINDS WERE UPDATED WITH A BLEND OF THE 18Z NAM AND THE 12Z ADJMAV. SKY COVER WAS ADJUSTED PER SATELLITE IMAGERY. AT 1430 EDT TUESDAY...SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS FIRED ACROSS THE MTNS THIS AFTERNOON AS EXPECTED. A COUPLE OF MARGINALLY SEVERE PULSE STORMS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AND THIS TREND SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. ISOLATED CONVECTION HAS ALSO BEGUN FIRING IN THE HIGH THETA-E AIR OVER THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. STORMS HAVE BEEN MOVING EXTREMELY SLOWLY...AND HEAVY RAINFALL MAY PROVE TO BE MORE OF A THREAT THAN SEVERE WEATHER. COVERAGE HAS ACTUALLY BECOME QUITE HIGH ALONG THE EASTERN ESCARPMENT...BUT AGAIN SLOW/QUASI-STATIONARY MOVEMENT MEANS THAT STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL NOT COVER MUCH REAL ESTATE...SO POPS WILL BE LIMITED TO HIGH CHANCE/PERHAPS THE LOW END OF THE LIKELY RANGE. OTHERWISE...WILL CONTINUE TO FORECAST SCATTERED ACTIVITY SPREADING INTO THE FOOTHILLS (ESP THE NORTHERN FOOTHILLS) AS COLD POOLS FROM MTN CONVECTION MATURE. CONVECTION WILL DECREASE IN COVERAGE WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING IN THE WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT...ALTHOUGH ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE BETTER MOISTURE ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES THROUGH MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT. MIN TEMPS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE ABOVE NORMAL IN THE MOIST AIR MASS...WITH POSSIBLE CONVECTIVE DEBRIS FURTHER INHIBITING COOLING. THERE DOESN/T APPEAR TO BE MUCH CHANGE IN THE OVERALL PATTERN FOR WEDNESDAY. THE FLOW ALOFT MAY BE A LITTLE STRONGER...AS SHORT WAVE TROUGH DROPS DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD W/IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT. THEREFORE...POPS WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER FOR WED AFTERNOON...AS CELLS SHOULD ACTUALLY MOVE...AND THERE COULD EVEN BE SOME SMALL SCALE ORGANIZATION ALONG OUTFLOWS. TEMPS WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL...BUT PERHAPS A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER THAN TUESDAY...AS HEIGHTS ALOFT FALL SLIGHTLY. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 245 PM TUESDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW WEAK SHORT WAVES DROPPING S OVER THE AREA THU-FRI IN VERY LGT N FLOW ALOFT...WITH A LEE TROF AT THE SFC. WEAK UPPER FORCING COMBINED WITH LOW LVL CONVERGENCE...DAYTIME HEATING AND ABOVE AVG PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL MAINTAIN A CHANCE OF AFTN-EVE SHWRS/TSTMS BOTH DAYS. SHEAR WILL BE MINIMAL BUT CAPE RELATIVELY HIGH WITH THE MAIN THREAT DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN IN SLOW MOVG STORM CELLS. TEMPS WILL STAY ABOVE ABOVE AVG THRU THE PERIOD WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 100-103 ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE I-85 CORRIDOR. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 100 PM TUESDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER IN THE EARLY PART OF THE EXT. GOOD AGREEMENT IS HAD WITH THE RIDGE SLOWLY BREAKING DOWN AND RETROGRADING WHILE A BROAD L/W TROF ENCOMPASSES THE EAST COAST BY MON. AT THE SFC...A LEE TROF WILL BE MAINTAINED WHILE A BACK COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTH LATE SUN NIGHT AND MOST LIKELY BECOMES STATIONARY ACROSS THE SRN ZONES OR MIDLANDS THROUGH TUE. MODERATE TO HIGH LEVELS OF SFC BASED CAPE WILL BE GENERATED EACH AFTERNOON AS MAX TEMPS REACH A FEW DEGREES F ABOVE NORMAL IN A STAGNANT AND RELATIVELY HIGH LLVL TD ENVIRONMENT. MAX TEMPS MAY DROP TO NEAR NORMAL BY MON AND TUE AS H5 HEIGHTS FALL AND CLOUDINESS INCREASES. POPS WERE MAINTAINED AT CLIMO OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH POPS REACHING THE LOW CHANCE RANGE OUTSIDE THE MTNS MON AND TUE AS THE SFC BOUNDARY PROVIDES A MORE S/LY FOCUSING MECHANISM. && .AVIATION /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AT KCLT...CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN AS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...FLOW ALOFT IS VERY WEAK...AND IT MAY THEREFORE BE DIFFICULT TO GET ANY OF THIS CONVECTION INTO THE KCLT AREA LATER TODAY. NEVERTHELESS...THE CUMULUS FIELD IS STARTING TO GET HEALTHY IN THE VCNY...SO ISOLATED STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP BY THIS EVENING...SO THE PROB30 HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A TEMPO FOR TS. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN SW BEFORE BECOMING LIGHT/VRBL THIS EVENING...THEN RETURN TO THE WSW BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. ELSEWHERE...SCATTERED CONVECTION IS FIRING OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN AS EXPECTED...BUT IS ALSO BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. DUE TO VERY WEAK FLOW ALOFT...STORMS ARE EXHIBITING VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT...SO IF THEY DO MAKE THEIR WAY TOWARD THE TERMINALS...IT/S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE. VCTS HAS BEEN INCLUDED AT ALL TERMINALS BY 20Z. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD...ALTHOUGH THE USUAL CAVEAT APPLIES OF FOG/STRATUS BEING POSSIBLE IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL.
