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 Sep 29, 4:48 PM EDT, 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 29, 4:48 PM EDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
448 PM EDT Thu Sep 29 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A dry southwest flow of air will be setting up across the region on
Friday and linger through the weekend. Progressively warmer
temperatures are on tap through Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 440 PM EDT: Latest surface analysis shows the frontal system
slowly moving north across the CWFA. CLT has a 67 dew point while
UZA has 50. This gradient stretches NW from there to the Northern
Foothills and Northern Mountains of NC. Expect any convection to be
along and north of the boundary where better instability lies. Also,
there is quite a bit of effective and deep layer bulk shear over
this area as well. This has resulted in some low topped but rotating
storms over the Northern Foothills and Northern Mountains. Strong
cells are beginning to develop over the NW Piedmont as well. If any
severe storms where to develop, these are the most likely locations.
Expect strong/severe potential to decrease with loss of heating, but
showers could linger over this area through the night before drier
air can work in from the SW. Lows will have a strong E to W gradient
with readings in the I-77 corridor around 5 degrees above normal,
with near to a little below normal readings to the west.

Upper low makes little progress on Friday, but surface boundaries
move completely out of the area by Friday afternoon, with dewpoints
dropping 6 degrees overnight.  Chances for significant precip. on
Friday are, thus, greatly reduced.  Eastward movement of surface
boundaries will also drop temperatures down to near seasonal normals
with highs on Friday 5 degrees cooler than today.  With dryer and
cooler air on Friday, it may finally begin to resemble fall.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
At 200 PM Thursday: On Friday evening a large, deep closed upper low
will centered over the over the OH River Valley, with associated low
pressure extending outward to the Great Lakes, the NC Coast, and the
Gulf Coast. The low drifts slowly northeast to Southern Ontario by
Sunday evening, while upper troughing persists to to the southwest
as far as the Gulf States.

At the surface, on Friday evening a deep surface low will be over
the middle Ohio River Valley, while a weak surface front is expected
to be near the fall line of the Central to Eastern Carolinas and
Georgia. The models show dry air across most of Western Carolinas
and Northeast Georgia, with the possible exception of the Western NC
Mountains. This pattern by and large persists into Sunday, with the
result being little to no precipitation over our area. Temperatures
will exhibit an increased diurnal range due to anomalously dry air,
with minimums below or near normal, and highs above normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 130 PM EDT Thursday...It doesn't look like any changes will
need to be made to the inherited dry and warm fcst to start off the
workweek with the medium range model consensus continuing the deep
and dry wsw flow aloft atop the region.  Monday's max temperatures
are slated to be two to three categories above the early Oct climo.
Even into Tuesday, the effectively dry wx should remain with max
temperatures perhaps a few deg F less warm than persistence within
the tightening easterly flow between TC Matthew and moderately
strong sfc hipres center over New England. For the latter half of
the period, at this stage of the game, any notable affects of
Matthew are progged to be well se/e of the cwfa. So, sensible wx
remains dry and warm for Wed/Thu, with the potential for breezy
easterly and/or northerly winds given the continued strength of
the pressure gradient.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT, some lingering MVFR or low VFR clouds could produce a brief
cig through early evening before drier air moves in behind the
slowly northward moving front. Most of the convection should be
north of the airfield, but a cell could move over before the front
moves through. Currently have VCSH in the TAF, given less than 30
POP for the area. Otherwise, easterly to southeasterly winds will
gradually veer to the south by tomorrow morning.

Elsewhere: Generally VFR conditions will continue into early evening
with KHKY having the best chance of seeing any convection. KHKY and
KAVL may also see some fog in the morning with residual surface
moisture, especially any areas receiving rain today.

Outlook: Dry high pressure will build in slowly behind the front,
which should bring VFR conditions in most places through the
beginning of next week.
