The radar
The Greer radar (KGSP), 7 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:15 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
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.

JPTWhat 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 Apr 19, 5:15 PM EDT, 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 5:15 PM EDT, 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
515 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will move across the forecast area through this
evening bringing showers and thunderstorms to the region. Cooler
temperatures and lingering showers are expected behind the front.
Temperatures will warm again by early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 500 PM: Have opted to extend the Tornado Watch until 8 PM EDT
due to a third line of convection currently crossing NE GA. This
line has about 1000 J/kg of CAPE to work with. The low-level shear
is not nearly as supportive of tornadoes as with the first line that
is now east of the FA. There is a second line crossing into the NC
piedmont and eastern Upstate that still has 200-300 m2/s2 of
effective helicity and 35-40 kts of 0-1 km bulk shear. But CAPE is
only about 500 J/kg in the wake of the first line. So while the
threat of additional severe storms and tornadoes is starting to
decline, it is still enough to warrant keeping the watch out.
Otherwise, a deep trough extends across the Mississippi Valley, with
an embedded upper low centered over northern Mississippi. This
feature will drive a cold front into the area from the west and
southwest this evening.
Forcing and, to some extent, moisture will taper off overnight, but
falling heights over the mountains suggest precip may redevelop
there. The low will begin to move northeast and across the
Appalachians. As temps drop behind the cold front, there is
potential for the coldest spots (high elevations) to see this precip
change from rain to snow. SLRs will not be particularly good owing
to shallow moisture present at that time, and low-level flow remains
southwesterly, thus being less favorable for upslope forcing on the
majority of the ridges. Conditions look much more favorable after
daybreak, when the column saturates over a deep layer beneath the
core of the upper low. Most of the area will be subject to scattered
light rain showers during the day as a result. However, in very high
elevations (almost entirely above 5000 ft) will cool early enough,
and remain cold long enough, that accumulating snow of several
inches is possible. These areas currently appear too small/isolated
to warrant a Winter Weather Advisory. Can't absolutely rule out some
evaporative cooling that will allow a few flurries to be experienced
in populated areas of the mountains and foothills during the morning.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Friday: The mid level low pressure system will
pivot just north of the area on Saturday night before pulling away
to the northeast on Sunday. Lingering wrap around showers will
mainly impact the mountains on Saturday night. Some snow is expected
at the higher elevations on Saturday night with around 1
accumulations expected at the highest elevations.
A drying and warming trend will occur Sunday night and Monday as
high pressure builds into the area.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 200 PM EDT Friday: Mid level ridging and surface high pressure
will be in place across the region for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Conditions should be dry and warm with highs reaching into the lower
80s in the Piedmont by Wednesday. A mid level trof and associated
cold front will appreach the area from the northwest late in the
week with an increasing chance of showers.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Multiple rounds of convection will affect
aviation across the region this aftn and early evening. For KCLT
and KHKY impacts most likely will come from a band of mostly
stratiform RA with embedded TSRA. KGSP and KGMU will start off
dry and VFR, but a well developed QLCS will push thru early in
the period, possibly surviving to KHKY/KCLT. The SHRA/TSRA are
likely to bring brief gusts above 30 kt, mainly out of the W or
SW. The QLCS poses a risk of damaging wind and a tornado cannot be
ruled out along it. Even following the departure of these events,
an upper low passing near the area this evening may access enough
remnant instability to drive a few showers and possibly TSRA,
which would still be capable of at least gusty winds. Mainly
MVFR cigs are expected thru tonight, with IFR to LIFR vsby likely
with the stronger TSRA. A continuing chance for SHRA (even SHSN
in very high elevations) exists overnight across the mtns, with
winds remaining breezy across the region. The upper low will drift
across the area during the day and ISO/SCT SHRA should redevelop
across the Piedmont, perhaps bringing MVFR cigs/vsby.
Outlook: Mainly VFR conditions are expected Sunday and early
next week.
