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 May 12, 7:42 PM EDT, 15 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 12, 7:42 PM EDT, 15 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
742 PM EDT THU MAY 12 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move into the southern Appalachians from the west
tonight and then move east across the piedmont of the Carolinas on
Friday. Drier air will spill into the region Friday afternoon into
Saturday. A reinforcing cold front arriving from the northwest
Saturday night will bring even cooler and drier high pressure to the
area Sunday into Monday. Moist southerly flow will return through
mid week along with steadily increasing shower and thunderstorm
chances.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 4:35 pm EDT Thursday: Scattered showers and thunderstorms
currently across the region, more numerous in the mountains, will
continue through this evening.  Activity has seen hail to 1 inch and
some severe wind gusts, with more such low-end severe reports likely
this evening.  Activity will transition from thunderstorms to
showers overnight as surface cooling reduces convective
instability.  Showers will end from northwest to southeast Friday
morning through afternoon as a major cold front passes through the
region.  Cold frontal passage will veer wind to northwesterly and
dry and cool the region, bringing temperatures back down to near
normal on Friday.

The cold front will slowly cross the foothills and piedmont portions
of the forecast area Friday morning. Upper jet divergence and one
final shot of upper level DPVA will also cross the forecast area
Friday morning and this upper support may catch up to the
pre-frontal instability along and east of I-77 by late morning. Will
bring back thunder chances across these areas through at least Noon
or perhaps into the early afternoon. West to northwest flow and
strong deep layer drying will develop behind the front through late
Friday. Breezy conditions are likely in the mountains post fropa
Friday as a narrow window of cold advection overlaps mixing.
However, winds should remain below advisory criteria. Max temps will
be a couple of categories cooler than today.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 200 PM Thursday...This upcoming weekend looks relatively quiet
and seasonably cool, as a long wave upper trough digs across the
eastern CONUS. A reinforcing cold front will approach the area from
the NW on Saturday, with dry WLY flow ahead of it. Other than a few
upslope showers near the TN border, expect dry wx for the region.
Temps will be near normal in the mtns and a category above in the
piedmont.

Significantly lower thicknesses will spill in from the NW for
Sunday, resulting in slightly below normal temps. Breezy to windy
conditions are expected in the mtns from Saturday afternoon into
Sunday within decent 850 mb CAA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 PM Thursday...the eastern CONUS upper trough will lift NE
on Monday, allowing upper ridging to begin across the Southeast. The
upper pattern remains somewhat flat thru much of next week, but with
general troughing over the west and ridging along the East Coast. At
the surface, high pressure will slide off the Mid-Atlantic coast on
Monday, while a low pressure system tries to organize over the
Southern Plains. The medium range guidance generally agrees on a
warm front, extending east of the low, activating across the Gulf
states, while a weak wedge lingers across the Carolinas. This should
set up a more unsettled wx pattern for the CWFA, with max temps
returning to near normal and min temps above normal by the middle of
next week.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT: Current thunderstorm at the airfield will move east in the
next half hour.  Radar trends have a gap in activity for at least an
hour, but more showers or thundershowers are anticipated before
midnight.  After midnight, thunder should end as boundary layer
stabilizes, but scattered showers will continue until major cold
front passes through by noon.  cold front will be followed by a
shift to northwest winds of around 10kts.

Elsewhere:  Showers and thunderstorms will continue around the area,
transitioning to non-thunder showers after 3Z as boundary layer
stabilizes.  shower activity will end from northwest to southeast as
major cold front progresses across the area Friday morning, carrying
with it moisture.  Winds will veer to the northwest behind the front
and will pick-up to 10kts, with gusts to 15kt possible at higher
elevations.

Outlook: A cold front will move east of the area by Friday afternoon
with drying expected through Saturday. A reinforcing cold front will
cross the region Saturday night with cooler and drier conditions
expected Sunday through Monday. Southerly flow and moisture will get
slowly reestablished through the middle of next week. Diurnal
thunderstorms will become possible again - especially over the
mountains.
