Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report 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.

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 28, 1:52 AM EDT, 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 28, 1:52 AM EDT, 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
152 AM EDT Sun May 28 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm and humid air will remain over our region through at least
Monday, as high pressure settles east of the Florida coast. A cold
front will slowly approach from the northwest, but will struggle to
push through the area during the middle of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
As of 150 AM EDT: The line of severe thunderstorms continue to move
across the area. Have extended the watch across NC ahead of the
line. Have dropped the watch behind the line across portions of all
three states.

The forecast area will remain solidly in the MCS tracks on Sunday
from convection developing from the west in the unstable elevated
mixed layer. Shear will remain more than adequate for
organized/severe convection, with perhaps a better potential for
rotating cells in areas of enhanced low level helicity near the
boundary. Thus, all manner of severe weather is possible on Sunday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT...This portion of the forecast becomes very fuzzy
with multiple embedded ripples of vorticity (some convective feed-
back) moving through our region. Although the models offer various
output in this section of the forecast, we will play one outgoing
shot of convection Sunday evening, then lower POPS, with another
shot of energy perhaps reaching our western forecast area (FA)
Monday morning with another uptick in POPS western sections.

The evolution of additional thunderstorms Monday will be somewhat
dependent on whether the early morning convection (if it happens),
tempers the atmosphere. On the other hand we still have a broad
southwesterly flow aloft in place, due to the large upper low north
of the Great Lakes, and spokes of energy rotating through. Also a
weak surface wind shift dropping south into the area, helping to
provide a focus. Considering the unstable nature of the atmosphere
we will continue with medium range chances, and future forecasts may
be able to focus in on additional details.

For Monday night and Tuesday, with the flow aloft southwesterly it
is hard to imagine the front/boundary pushing through our FA, unless
cold pool driven. Therefore we will bring POPS down Monday night,
and then run lower chances on Tuesday, especially south of I40.
There actually may be a series of wind shift lines to cross the area
through Tuesday.

Since we note a downward nudge in the thermal profile Tuesday, we
will back readings off a few degrees compared to Monday.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 210 PM Saturday: A closed upper low located just north of the
Great Lakes will rotate east but then return to just north of the
Great Lakes next weekend from Hudson Bay. This broad feature creates
a big trough over the east.  Meanwhile, at the surface, a stalled
frontal boundary stretches from Texas to the Carolinas through the
second half of the week except for Thursday when high pressure
coming down from near the Great Lakes pushes the front south of our
area but only for about a day. Shortwave energy and waves of low
pressure will pass across the deep south increasing the chance of
showers and storms Friday and Saturday.  Severe threat should be
quite low.

Expect temperatures to be near normal through the medium range
period.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
At KCLT: Line of convection heading toward the airfield will result
in restrictions and strong, gusty winds. Once the line moves through
lingering VFR showers will dissipate before daybreak. Expect another
round of convection during the afternoon and evening. PROB30 is in
place. Expect mainly southwest flow with low end gusts during mixing
away from thunderstorms, and then robust WNW gusts during thunder.

Elsewhere: Similar conditions to KCLT, except the immediate threat
is over at KAVL, KGSP, and KGMU. Will feature a PROB30 for mainly
afternoon convection. Expect mostly SW flow, NW at KAVL, with low
end gusts during mixing, except more robust NW gusts with
thunderstorms.

Outlook: Thunderstorms and associated restrictions, mainly of the
afternoon/evening variety, as well as the potential for areas of
morning fog and/or low stratus will continue through at least the
middle of next week.
