Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 8 storm reports to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 10 minutes after it went out.
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
Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 6.5 hours before the alert went out and 163 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, Jul 5, 2:09 PM EDT, 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
209 PM EDT TUE JUL 5 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level disturbance will slowly cross our region from west to
east tonight and Wednesday. A pattern of warm and unstable air will
then continue across the region for the rest of the week and into
the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 150 PM, a broken line of convection is beginning to move off
the Blue Ridge and the upper Savannah River Valley early this
afternoon, with additional isolated activity developing out ahead of
it within an environment characterized by sbCAPE in excess of 2000
J/kg and modest shear (considering the time of year). Gusts to as
high as 50 mph will be possible along the leading edge of this line
in NC, with perhaps an isolated damaging downburst possible as it
encounters more robust downdraft CAPE outside the mtns. Likely pops
will be carried across the NC foothills over the next couple of
hours, with chances increasing to 40-50 percent across much of the
remainder of the area by late afternoon.
Additional activity upstream across AL/GA is expected to begin
wafting into the western zones by the end of the afternoon, so will
allow pops to ramp back up to likely across the mtns by that time.
Convective coverage should slowly taper off tonight as the shortwave
moves gradually east. Low condensation pressure deficits are likely
in the mountains behind the shortwave and valley fog is expected.
Mild min temps some 5 to 8 degrees above climo will continue.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 100 PM EDT Tuesday: The short term fcst period kicks off on
Wednesday evening amidst a departing upper short wave embedded in
nearly zonal flow aloft, while a broad subtropical ridge prevails
over the western Atlantic. At the surface, ridging beneath the
upper anticyclone is expected to allow for continued southerly
moisture/temperature advection over the southeast states. Closer to
home, convection looks probable at fcst initialization with mtn
thunderstorms possibly propagating east across the low terrain into
the early/mid evening hours. Meanwhile, a secondary H5 vortmax and
surface wave across the Ohio valley looks supportive of a MCS that
is fcst to race east/southeast into the evening hours possibly
impacting the NC high terrain overnight into Thursday morning.
Moving along, the pattern on Thursday features a gradual westward
retrograde of the a fore mentioned upper anticyclone, and likewise
elongation of the sfc high. Meanwhile another H5 wave diving across
the upper Midwest states is progged to strengthen, leading to weak
surface cyclogenesis and thus establishment of a cold front. As for
northeast Georgia and the Western Carolinas, convection continues to
favor a diurnal trend both on Thursday and Friday as the above
mentioned front isn't expected to arrive until the weekend. As for
pops, the highest pops will reside across the mtns given profiles
that exhibit the least amount of cin, where as the contrary is
favored across the piedmont, especially on Friday as deep layer
ridging strengthens over the deep south. Temperatures through the
short term will remain above normal levels for both afternoon highs
as well as morning lows. Heat index values will also remain
elevated, however shouldn't meet/exceed advisory criteria.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 120 PM Wednesday: The 500mb pattern amplifies this weekend as
a trough moves east from the Great Lakes to east of New England. The
500mb ridge over the Rockies at 00Z Saturday will gain amplitude and
have an axis roughly over the Mississippi Valley at 00Z Monday. The
trough will be exiting New England to the east Sunday night. A
southern stream 500mb wave is expected to either close as a low or
nearly so as it crosses the SE states in the early half of next week.
At the surface, the cold front will drift south across VA Saturday,
south across the Carolinas Sunday and then stall out on Monday from
TN to near the SC and NC border into Tuesday. Drier and more stable
air to the north of the front and moist, more unstable air south of
the front. Therefore, chances of convection will depend on where the
front stalls. Unstable air at the start of the medium range Friday
night with over 2000 CAPE at 00Z Saturday over far western zones.
This is consistent with previous model runs. The GFS has pockets of
3000 CAPE over the NC Mtns Saturday PM as the front approaches from
the north. Low to at best moderate CAPE values in the PM hours for
the Sun, Mon and Tues part of the forecast. There will be wind shear
at least on Saturday PM with wind at low levels WSW going to NW at
700mb with more speed shear over NC Mtns as 700mb wind is around
40kts on the ECMWF. The latter part of the forecast depends on what
if any feature forms passing under the ridge.
Temps will be a few degrees above normal Saturday then drop a bit
closer to normal as the front lingers over our area.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
At KCLT: a line of convection is currently moving off the high
terrain, with some isolated activity developing out ahead of it
across the foothills. The air mass only becomes more unstable across
the Piedmont, so see no reason why this activity won't trek near
KCLT by late afternoon/early evening, and tempos for TSRA will be
retained from 20-24Z. In the interim, occl gusts out of the SW in
the upper teens will continue through the afternoon, with higher
gusts possible near thunderstorms. Additional convection will be
possible later into the evening and even the overnight, as activity
currently moving across GA/AL may make a run for the area during
this time. However, this is highly uncertain at this point, and will
just carry a VCSH through the evening. If heavy rain falls at the
terminal this afternoon/evening, some fog/low stratus will be
possible toward daybreak, but confidence is low attm.
Elsewhere: Convection will be possible at all terminals over the
first couple of hours of the forecast period, and tempos have been
included at all sites for that time frame. Additional activity could
then overspread the area from the SW during the late afternoon/
evening, so will keep the goalposts wide for VCTS at all sites, but
limit tempos to KAVL for the time being. Convection will remain
possible through the overnight, with the best chances existing near
KAVL, where a VCSH is maintained. Some fog/low stratus will be
possible toward daybreak, mainly at terminals that see significant
rainfall this afternoon/evening.
Outlook: A diurnal pattern of showers and thunderstorms will
continue the rest of the week. Fog and low stratus will be possible
each morning in the mountain river valleys and also in locations
that receive heavy rainfall from diurnal thunderstorms.
