Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 155 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.
The nearest sounding before it
Greensboro/Hi Pt, NC (KGSO), launched 12:00Z, 10.7 hours before the alert went out and 56 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.

attention to road signs indicating a flood-prone area. Obey all
barricades, even if water is not currently over the road. Barricades
are in place for your protection and indicate areas where flooding
can occur rapidly and without warning.
When it is safe to do so, please report flood waters or landslides
flowing over roads or threatening property to the National Weather

Area forecast discussion, Sep 16, 6:13 PM EDT, 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
613 PM EDT Sun Sep 16 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
The remnants of Florence will cross the mountains tonight reaching
eastern Tennessee and continue north Monday and turn northeast into
Tuesday. The threat of heavy rain continues for the region through
Monday before improving going into mid week. Expect a chance of
showers returning toward the end of the week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 530 PM EDT: The circulation center of Florence was moving
slowly to the north and northwest over the Upstate, with the
heavier rain shifting northward over the NW Piedmont. Rainfall
rates have tapered off across much of the Charlotte metro area
and along the Escarpment south of Old Fort, with precip becoming
light and more intermittent along and w of I-26. Think it is
time to drop more counties from the Flash Flood Watch with the
threat having dropped off, so group from Haywood and Transylvania,
across metro Greenville/Spartanburg, to Laurens and Union SC will
be cancelled. As for winds, the pressure gradient continues to
move outward from the remnant circulation and north of the area,
so we will let most of the Wind Advisory go on schedule. However,
we will extend the advisory until Midnight for the northern mtns and
adjacent foothill zones based on some of the high elevation wind
obs we continue to receive from Beech Mtn, indicating occasional
gusts upwards of 50 mph. As for the tornado threat, will not rule
out a small risk over the wrn Piedmont until we get to an hour or so
after sunset, what with plenty of shear/helicity still seen on the
mesoanalysis. Will keep isolated to scattered thunder mention there.
Overnight, the heavier rain bands will shift north and tornado
threat should abate as we lose instability. Low clouds and tropical
air mass in place will keep temps about 5 to 10 degrees above
normal overnight.
Monday, the remnants of Florence will exit north of forecast area
by daybreak, turning the flow around out of the SW. Mid-level dry
air will punch in across the Piedmont, but deeper moisture will
remain along the TN border. Breaks in the clouds is expected, and
lingering low-level moisture will support 1000-2000 J/kg of SBCAPE
along and east of I-85 by mid-aftn. Showers will likely develop
in the mountains and along a convergence zone on the leading edge
of a dry slot during the aftn. The CAMs seem to keep most of the
Piedmont convection along our eastern edge of the forecast area
and to the east. Shear becomes weak and overall unidirectional. So
severe threat looks low. Highs will be rebound to a category or
two above normal.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 100 PM EDT Sunday: A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for
portions of the area through Monday evening.
By Monday night, the remnants of Florence will become an open wave
aloft and will move up the Ohio River Valley. It will gradually push
eastward, bringing a surface trough and lingering wrap around
moisture across the forecast area Monday night through Tuesday. This
will result in isolated showers, especially across the higher
elevations, before gradually tapering off from south to north late
Tuesday. Additional rainfall amounts of a quarter of an inch or less
expected Monday night throught Tuesday night. A few gusty winds are
possible on Tuesday as low level flow shifts NW behind the trough
and could result in some downslope acceleration of gusts to 15-20
kts.
Drying trend begins Tuesday night as high pressure begins to build
into the region. Temperatures throughout the short term will remain
just above normal.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1230 PM EDT Sunday: High pressure will continue to provide dry
weather Wednesday through early Thursday. Thursday afternoon through
Friday, the ridge of high pressure will shift east, allowing for
easterly flow to develop and filter in more moist air. Can't rule
out a few showers during the diurnal heating to end the work week.
As we progress into the weekend, weather will remain unsettled as a
surface boundary moves closer to the FA. Expect the potential for
showers and thunderstorms to expand across the entire area beginning
Friday afternoon and continuing through the weekend. Rainfall
amounts will be minimal. Temperatures will remain above normal.
&&
.AVIATION /22Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Winds continue to slowly decrease, as the
remnants of Florence weakens and drifts northward this aftn. Winds
will gradually veer to SE across the area by early evening, then
continue to veer to SW by early Monday. Still some gust potential
early in the period, but gusts should pretty much end by around
midnight. One more strong rainband is expected to set up and cross
KCLT between time of this issuance and 21z. This will allow winds to
shift to SE there. Otherwise, expect MVFR to LIFR cigs tonight, as
the center of Florence's circulation crosses the area. Rain will
taper off from south to north overnight thru Monday morning. As flow
turns around out of the SW, drier air aloft should help scatter out
and lift the lower clouds, again from south to north around midday
Monday. With breaks in the clouds, scattered tsra may develop across
the Piedmont, so will put PROB30 at KCLT for now.
Outlook: Expect flight conditions to improve Monday aftn and into
Tuesday, as Florence exit north of the area.
