The radar
The Greer radar (KGSP), 92 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:11 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
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
Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 184 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, May 11, 4:42 PM EDT, 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
442 PM EDT WED MAY 11 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A stalled frontal boundary will weaken over North Carolina tonight,
as a cold front approaches from the west. The front will cross the
area early Friday, ushering in drier conditions for the weekend.
Warm high pressure gradually builds back in toward the middle of
next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 4:35 pm Wednesday...area of showers and thunderstorms will
continue for the next several hours over the southwestern 2/3 of the
CWA. outflow from earlier convection has placed a boundary just
south of the NC/SC state line with slightly cooler and more stable
air to the north. Significant shower activity will be confined to
areas along and south of this boundary for the next several hours,
with activity moving ESE.
Expect Thursday to be another convectively active day...after a
time. The morning might be fairly quiet if we have some
convective debris again. Another weak short wave is expected to
traverse the region during the day, which will provide a decent
environment that will at least not be unfavorable for deep
convection...eventually. Model guidance suggests the better sbCAPE
will be to our west closer to the better moisture advection ahead of
the cold front, but enough buoyancy is suggested to warrant the
Marginal Risk seen in the Day 2. Temps will be seasonally warm
again.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 225 PM Wednesday...The models are in pretty good agreement on
a cold front roughly along the Blue Ridge at 12z Friday. The front
then pushes east across the Piedmont by 18z such that any frontal
convection is expected to be mostly east of the area by peak
heating. I have PoPs maximized at 12z, then taper off to less than
slight chance by sunset. Temps will be near normal in the mtns and a
category above normal in the piedmont.
Friday night thru Sunday...an upper trough digs across the eastern
CONUS with a reinforcing cold front crossing the CWFA Saturday
night. Other than a few NW flow upslope showers along the TN border,
the weekend looks dry. Temps will continue a cooling trend, down to
a category below normal for Sunday.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 230 PM Wednesday...the eastern CONUS upper trough will lift
out and be replaced by ridging building in across the Southeast. An
east-west oriented frontal boundary will begin to become activated,
mainly to our west in response to a trough digging across the
southern Rockies. Subtropical high pressure will become established
off the Mid-Atlantic coast thru midweek...resulting in persistent
southerly to southwesterly flow increasing moisture and bringing
temps back above normal.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
At KCLT...satellite imagery shows extensive mid/high level
convective debris, while observations reveal a scattered low cloud
underneath. An old outflow boundary has moved past the site which
has brought winds around light from the NW. This may continue for
the first few hours, but think that if the high clouds thin and we
break out the low clouds, the wind will come around to SW. This has
been indicated in the new TAF. The mesoscale models continue to
suggest that activity over the NC mountains will develop along/ride
down the cloudy/clear boundary and over the CLT metro area in the
late afternoon. Have kept the TEMPO group for thunder accordingly,
along with an occasional NW wind, but the confidence in this
happening is starting to wane. Either way, the convection should be
gone by 00Z, after which more convective debris is expected. Wind is
forecast to shift back around to light NW in the pre-dawn hours on
Thursday. A fog restriction may develop around daybreak Thursday if
precip falls later today. This was left out for now because of high
uncertainty.
Elsewhere...KHKY will remain under the convective debris through the
rest of the day. Expect the IFR ceiling to end quickly. KAVL will be
on the edge and should see a few storms nearby. The Upstate airports
have the best chance at seeing thunderstorms and one is headed
toward KAND at TAF issuance time. The storms should fade quickly
with sunset. Similar to KCLT, fog may be added for early Thursday
morning at any site that has precip later today.
Outlook...scattered showers and thunderstorms and associated flight
restrictions are possible Thursday afternoon and Friday...as a cold
front pushes across the area. Drier weather and VFR conditions
should return for the weekend.
