What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Aug 7, 2:49 PM EDT, 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 2:49 PM EDT, 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
249 PM EDT SUN AUG 7 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A stationary front will remain over the Gulf Coast states to the
Carolinas through the week as it slowly dissipates. Low pressure
over the Northeast Gulf is expected to drift west to the central
Gulf Coast by late week.  A persistent moist wind flow from the
Atlantic Wednesday night and Thursday will shift to being front the
Gulf next weekend. Expect a generally rainy week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 245 PM EDT Sunday: Well, as forecast, widespread showers and
thunderstorms have developed across the area, and really blew up
across the Charlotte metro area, with Flash Flood Warning still in
effect for the eastern side of CLT. Stalled front is draped across
the area, generally along the I-85 corridor. Low-level flow will
continue to pick up out of the south tonight adding the upslope
component, and then continuing to back out of the SE by tomorrow. PW
values are not progged to drop back below 2" until after the end of
the near-term period. CAMs continue to keep widespread convection in
through this evening, with a little bit of a lull through the
overnight period, and then pick it back up again tomorrow especially
along the eastern slopes as that southeasterly flow picks up. With
extra sunshine we ended up with this morning, sbCAPE values are
widespread between 2000-3000 J/kg this afternoon, though not much in
the way of dCAPE or thermodynamic profiles supportive of severe
convection, but we have had some reports of small hail. Main concern
will continue to be heavy rain. Little bit of a lull overnight
tonight but FFA was already out through 12z, and with another round
of convection expected tomorrow have opted to go ahead and extend it
through midnight tomorrow night (into the short term period), and
added Union NC.

Should see temperatures tomorrow several degrees below seasonal
normals with the widespread clouds and increasing convection during
the day.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 230 PM Sunday...A weak upper level disturbance will drift NW
from central FL to FL/AL border by 00z Thursday. The surface and low-
level reflection of this wave basically follows the same path. This
will keep our area under a persistent SELY flow with plenty of
moisture out of the Atlantic. The 12z guidance agrees on some drier
air wrapping around the FL low circulation, and an overall lull in
precip coverage/intensity from about 6z Tuesday to 12z Wednesday.
There should still be enough upslope cloudiness and light rain to
hold an in situ wedge for most of the day, keeping temps below
normal.

On Wednesday...depending on the exact position and intensity of the
aforementioned wave, another slug of high-PWAT air should push into
the area from the SE, with 850 mb flow around 20-25 kts. The
operational models agree on an up-tick in QPF, especially along the
Blue Ridge escarpment. PoPs will remain elevated above climo, with
QPF enhanced in the SELY upslope areas. Another Flash Flood Watch
may be needed again for Wednesday into Wednesday night. Lows will be
above normal, and highs Wednesday below normal under plenty of
clouds.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
At 200 PM Sunday: On Wednesday evening an upper ridge will be along
the southeast coast as a weak upper low will be over the Florida
panhandle. The weak low is expected to drift to the west and be over
the Mississippi Delta by Friday. The combined affects of the ridge
off the Atlantic coast and the low along the Gulf will keep a moist
flow over our area through next weekend.

At the surface...the stationary frontal is forecast to remain draped
around the SE from the Gulf states to the Carolinas and will
gradually dissipate through next weekend. Another weak cold front is
forecast to slide south from the Great Lakes Thursday and be aligned
over the Ohio River on Sunday. The weak surface low over the north
Gulf Coast may get caught up in the SW to NE flow as the front gets
deeper toward the SE. The ECMWF takes the Gulf low farther west
toward Texas before it gets caught in the developing transport near
this new front. Both the ECMWF and GFS have waves of low pressure
passing NE along or near the front next weekend with the GFS having
more affect on our area late in the weekend. The overall 850mb wind
flow is expected to be upslope from the SE toward our mountains on
Thursday then shifting to southerly Friday and over the weekend as
the Gulf low moves to the central Gulf Coast.

Temperatures will be affected by the thick cloud cover with Maxes a
little below normal and Mins a category above normal.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
At KCLT: Widespread SHRA/TSRA expected through the period, with
occasional breaks. Have advertised prevailing TSRA followed by
TEMPO, but with SHRA overnight and PROB30 tomorrow. Will likely need
to readjust timing of TEMPO through the afternoon. Expect typical
restrictions associated with SHRA/TSRA. Should see cigs drop to IFR
and probably LIFR overnight, with slow improvement Monday. Winds
generally SE to ESE through the period around 5kt.

Elsewhere: Similar precip/convective trends to KCLT, but with VCTS
for a good chunk of the period. KAVL will likely see LIFR vsby in
addition to cigs. As with KCLT, generally ESE to SE winds through
the period.

Outlook: A frontal boundary will remain stalled near or just south
of the area into the early week. Deep moisture will persist along
with strengthening southeasterly upslope flow. Thunderstorms, heavy
rain, and IFR restrictions could become increasingly widespread
through the week.
