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 10, 2:51 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 10, 2:51 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
251 PM EDT Thu May 10 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms continue through this evening as a cold
front crosses the area. Mainly mountain afternoon and evening
thunderstorms are expected Friday and Saturday. Temperatures will
increase to near record levels by Sunday then slowly cool through
next week. Precipitation chances gradually increase through next
week as a complex low pressure system impacts the area.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 225 PM: The latest convection-allow models have a band of
broken convection filling in rather quickly over the southern
Appalachians and adjacent foothills through 19Z. This is consistent
with the timing of a shortwave crossing the region aloft, and radar
trends are headed in that direction with stronger convection
starting to perk. Given model thermal profiles and morning raobs
exhibiting freezing levels in the 11.5 to 12.0 kft range across the
region, hail could become a factor with any 55+ dbZ cores touching
23 kft, or lower-level, higher reflectivity 60 to 65 dBZ cores in
the 17 to 20 kft range. We are still anticipating some wind
potential, with modest sfc to mid-level theta e lapses around 20K
this afternoon, but with a developing DCAPE pool near 1000 J/kg over
the southern tier and around the Charlotte area late day. The best
developing convective cold pool gusts should be across piedmont
areas around I-77 late this afternoon into the early evening, with a
secondary maximum over the southwest NC mountains this afternoon.

The main convection should exit east of the area by 00Z. Isolated
showers may continue to arrive in the northwest flow across the
southwest mountains through midnight before dissipating. Locations
receiving heavy rain this afternoon/evening, as well as the mountain
river valleys, could well see fog and low clouds toward daybreak
Friday. Mild mins should run 5 to 10 degrees above climo.

Flat mid-upper ridging will develop over the southeast on Friday,
but a very weak H5 trough embedded in the ridge could provide weak
afternoon forcing over the NC mountains. A weak lee trough should
develop just east of the Blue Ridge as well to toggle winds back
toward southwesterly. Anticipate max temps warming at least a couple
of degrees above Thursday values, with isolated to scattered diurnal
convection focused mainly along the eastern slopes of the
mountains.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 215 PM EDT Thursday: Weak upper shortwave will be passing
across the area, embedded in the flow atop the Gulf/Caribbean upper
ridge, at the beginning of the period. Any lingering convection from
Friday night should dissipate quickly on the back side of the wave.
For Saturday afternoon, continued mid-level warming with the upper
ridge in place and a weak surface trough in place should continue
the low-level WAA, resulting in afternoon highs a couple of degrees
warmer than what we'll see on Friday, with just about everywhere
across the Piedmont progged to reach the 90-degree mark. Without
upper support, convection will be limited to just the airmass
instability and mechanical lift from the mountains, so have dropped
most of the pops from the Piedmont. Thicknesses will increase
further still on Sunday as a broad upper trough remains in place
over E Canada and ridging amplifies over the center of the country.
The big story here will be the record-level highs; currently have a
record forecast for CLT, which will break a record that has been in
place for 137 years! Luckily dewpoints won't be ridiculous, so, so
far, no real concerns with heat indices. Very little change in low
temps through the period (actually, through the extended,
too...maybe fluctuating by 5 degrees through the end of next week).
Mid-level warming/subsidence will continue to increase, and this
will significantly limit convective potential even over the
mountains, with only some pockets of slight chance pops forecast at
this time.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Thursday: Still no major changes to the extended
from previous forecasts. With the subtropical ridge continuing in
place, Monday should be very similar to Sunday, maybe a degree or
two cooler, and with slightly more convection especially over the
mountains, but cannot rule out isolated activity over the Piedmont
as well.

Things start changing as we move into Tuesday and through the rest
of the period. A tropical weakness in the Gulf will strengthen just
slightly on Sunday, spinning near the FL Big Bend on Monday and
beginning to drift north into the Southeast Monday night and
Tuesday. Increasing cloud cover and precip chances will be expected,
and a corresponding decrease in afternoon highs (still above normal
though). From Tuesday through the end of the period, it looks fairly
wet...though QPF amounts aren't particularly impressive, low-level
moisture will remain high and thus higher pops are warranted, with
the best chances Wednesday afternoon where we have likely pops
painted across the area. Airmass instability will remain but lapse
rates in the tropical environment unimpressive, so some question as
to how much showery vs. thundery activity there will be. A shortwave
trough pushing toward the OH Valley at the end of the period will
slowly absorb the tropical low, but the tropical moisture feed from
the western Caribbean will continue so chance pops remain in the
forecast, with highs remaining 3-5 degrees above normal.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and Elsewhere: There is reasonably good consensus on the
foothills convection developing into a broken line across the NC
piedmont late this afternoon and impacting KCLT mainly from 21Z to
23Z. Reasonably good cold pool winds of 25 to 30 kt should be
expected from the WNW, and gusts could reach quite a bit higher if
the convective strength builds into the stronger piedmont DCAPE
area. Convection should be a bit spottier elsewhere, with KHKY to
KAVL seeing the next best chance, but more scattered activity across
the Upstate terminal area. Will handle with mainly a VCTS in
southern sections. Any restrictions through the evening hours will
be brief MVFR to possibly IFR under the heaviest downpours.

Any locations that receive rain late today will be a candidate for
fog/stratus development toward daybreak Friday. Chances appear best
at KCLT and also in the mountain river valleys. Will remain fairly
conservative for now given the reserved MOS forecasts, but will
definitely hint that way at KCLT with some morning SCT007 along with
MVFR fog. Convective coverage should be quite a bit less on Friday,
with no mention before 18Z throughout, and nothing after 18Z at
KCLT. Winds will toggle back to SW with lee troughing early Friday,
except mainly NW at KAVL.

Outlook: Isolated to scattered diurnal convection will likely return
mainly over the higher terrain on Friday afternoon and into the
weekend. Any restrictions should be confined to areas under
showers/thunderstorms or daybreak fog/stratus in the lower mountain
valleys.

At 406 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm with
intense lightning 5 miles southeast of Bryson City, moving east at 30
mph.

Locations to be impacted include...
Sylva, Bryson City, Cherokee, Cullowhee, Webster, Dillsboro,
Cashiers, Graveyard Fields, Smoky Mountains-Deep Creek and Lake
Glenville.

In addition to intense lightning, wind gusts up to 50 mph and dime

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Frequent lightning is occurring with this storm. If outdoors, try to
get indoors or into a hard topped vehicle. Otherwise, stay away from
open areas and isolated high objects such as trees. When indoors,
stay away from windows and doors and avoid using wired electronic
devices. Do not take a shower or bath. Try to unplug unnecessary
appliances before the storm approaches.

This storm may intensify, so be certain to monitor local radio and tv
stations, as well as local cable tv outlets for additional
information and possible warnings from the National Weather Service.
