Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Peachtre/Fal Fld, GA (KFFC), launched 12:00Z, 8.7 hours before the alert went out and 211 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 3:12 PM EDT, 1 hour 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
312 PM EDT THU JUN 30 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
An upper trough will push a cold front through the region today and
tomorrow. The front will stall just to the south of the area by
Saturday, but then will lift slowly back north late in the weekend
into the beginning of next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 245 PM EDT...Water vapor imagery indicates a subtle impulse
shifting across the Tennessee Valley and upper Gulf Coast States.
This feature will intercept a moist and unstable airmass across our
forecast area late this afternoon and evening. SPC storm information
suggest SBCAPES between 1500 and 3000 j/kg with DCAPES on the order
of 1000 j/kg. Meanwhile left over stratus and breaks in the clouds
have left pockets of differential heating and meso convergent areas.
We would expect rapid thunderstorm formation in our southern
forecast area and mountains, then filling in as the rest of the day
wears on. Damaging winds and large hail main threat, although
torrential rain and frequent lightning will be noted.
We will continue the activity into the night time hours, somewhat
similar to Wednesday night, before activity wanes with passage of
the upper air feature and overturning of atmosphere.
The coverage of any fog and stratus overnight seems to be healthy,
although the winds may help mix things a bit.
For Friday we have gone with warmer temperatures, per guide, and
limited our thunderstorm chances to a narrow window in the
afternoon, and especially along the less side trough.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Thursday: Upper trough axis and surface cold front
will be pushing east of the area as we start the short term. The
frontal boundary will stall to our south on Saturday as the Canadian
upper low lifts northeast and a shortwave pushes off the Central
Rockies into the Central Plains. The surface system associated with
the Plains shortwave will stretch across the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys,
merging with the stalled Southeast front, and providing focus for
convection to pick back up again through the short term as flow
aloft transitions to zonal. The boundary will slide slowly back
north as the Plains shortwave pushes east, with modest instability -
800-1200 J/kg sbCAPE - returning to the area Saturday. Should see a
diurnal trend through Saturday night, but with the Plans shortwave
moving into the mid-Mississippi Valley on Sunday, should see an
enhancement to the diurnal pops for Sunday afternoon, with likely
pops over the mountains and healthy chance elsewhere. High temps
through the short term should be a couple of degrees above seasonal
normals, with a larger departure for overnight lows where the
increasing moisture will not allow for much of a cool-down overnight.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 300 PM EDT Thursday: Zonal flow will continue across the
Ohio/Tennessee Valleys as a subtropical ridge over the western
Atlantic continues to build west toward FL as the shortwave
continues to work its way east up the Ohio Valley. Several
differences continue in models' handling of this shortwave with the
GFS a little more robust especially with the associated surface low.
Should see a fairly significant increase in convection for
Independence Day. Along with the decent instability (sbCAPEs between
1000-2000 J/kg), we have some minimal low-level shear as well which
may help to organize convection. Overall and unfortunately, it looks
like a pretty wet and occasionally stormy day/evening, so residents
of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia may want to be
prepared for impacts to Independence Day festivities.
The wave pushes east on Tuesday, with the ECMWF keeping an open wave
and pushing it offshore early in the day, but the stronger GFS
closing it off and not pushing it through for another 24 hours.
Quite a bit of uncertainty here obviously but since the ECMWF keeps
a trailing front across our area anyway, both have similar sensible
weather impacts with enhanced diurnal convection continuing through
mid-week. As would be typical with enhanced summertime convection,
heavy rain and at least isolated severe storms will be possible.
The subtropical ridge continues to build westward, with intermittent
shortwaves riding along the northern edge of the ridge. Differences
between the operational guidance increase through the middle of next
week so have trended close to climo on pops, but with a slight
increasing trend for temperatures, rising into the mid-90s, as
thicknesses increase.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and the SC Sites: Although left over stratus remains across
most of our TAF sites, the IFR ceilings have lifted to MVFR and low
VFR ceilings. As mixing continues near thunderstorms for the rest of
the afternoon and into tonight, believe ceilings will jump around
considerably, and potentially driven by meso scale features, until
the overall synoptic pattern takes over with waning convection later
this evening/overnight.
Judging by the various CAM models we have brought thunderstorm
chances into the CLT airfield during the evening. This is trying to
follow large scale features/development, and small scale
interactions. Since ceilings are near MVFR levels, it is possible
that tendency of bouncing in and out will continue through the
evening. We would expect greater restrictions to ceilings and
visibilites with storms near the airfield. We have mentioned some
variable gusty winds to take into account current active situation.
Any stratus and fog should lift to low VFR ceilings Friday morning.
For the remainder of our TAF sites, the biggest difference is in the
timing of convection, arrival and/or development. We have followed
continuity with lower ceilings at sites which were not yet mixed.
Otherwise would expect potential thunderstorms with reduced ceilings
and visibilities across the board.
Outlook: Diurnal convection expected Friday afternoon and Saturday.
Another series of fronts, and potential weak low pressure systems
riding along the fronts, appears on tap for Sunday through Tuesday.
This period may offer an enhanced thunderstorms possibilities.
