The radar

The Roanoke radar (KFCX), 143 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:11 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood 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.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

When it is safe to do so, please report flooding or landslides 
threatening roads or property to the National Weather Service 
Greenville-Spartanburg by calling toll free, 1, 800, 2 6 7, 8 1 0 1, 
by posting on our Facebook page, or via Twitter using hashtag 
NWSGSP. Your message should describe the specific location where 
impacts occurred and the depth of flooding observed.

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Aug 15, 5:39 PM EDT, 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 15, 5:39 PM EDT, 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
539 PM EDT Sat Aug 15 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms will diminish overnight tonight.
Thunderstorm chances will return to more typical levels for Sunday
and Monday, then increase through the week as an upper level trough
becomes well established. Highs will be around normal through the
first part of the week then fall below normal.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 530 PM: A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for portions
of North Carolina through tonight.

Convection continues across a good share of the CWA attm, driven by
modest CAPE and a shortwave trough now centered over the southern
end of the Appalachians. A low-level convergence axis has helped
some of this activity focus and loosely organize, but with shear
not too remarkable and perhaps due to a lack of dry air to support
strong outflows, the storms along the line seem to be feeling the
effects of the late day instability decline. Elevated PWATs and
generally unidirectional shear will continue to support locally
heavy rainfall and isolated flash flood threat from the remaining
cells. A cluster is forming across the eastern Upstate that we
will watch especially closely.

Expect activity to wane tonight with lingering light showers
possible overnight as the sfc low and trailing cold front slowly
push through the area and upper troughing moves overhead. While
patchy fog will be possible given light winds and saturated soils,
expect low stratus to be the main concern overnight per latest
fcst soundings. Guidance continues to suggest low clouds lingering
through mid Sunday morning at the latest as drier air gradually
makes it's way into the area with NW flow. Min temps will drop to
around normal.

Despite the slow infiltration of drier air in the wake of the
exiting system, lingering available moisture and instability will
warrant the potential for isolated convection once again Sunday.
Otherwise, expect a mixture of sunshine and clouds with max
temperatures falling a few degrees short of normal.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 2pm EDT Saturday:  Weather Monday and Tuesday is largely the
result of a longwave trough over the eastern CONUS, with a southern
extent over the GSP CWA.  This far south, dynamical factors are
somewhat weak, but a frontal boundary is expected to pass through
the area from northwest to southeast on Monday, with an enhanced
chance for precipitation as it passes, and a reduction behind it as
moisture is reduced.  Showers on Monday may be more confined to
piedmont areas where the front may better interact with moisture,
while on Tuesday, what showers that manage to form will be more
likely over the mountains where elevated surface heating has a
better chance of breaking the cap. MLCAPE will be weak on Monday
behind the previous front, and confined to piedmont areas, by
Tuesday afternoon behind the next front, it will be even weaker at
below 400 j/kg.  Longwave pattern is expected to help temperatures
to remain just below climo, and notably below recent weeks.  With
still weak dynamics at play, surface features are poorly defined,
and winds are expected to remain light, outside of outflows from
storms.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 2pm EDT Saturday:  Longwave eastern trough gives way
Wednesday/Thursday as northern extent pulls out, being replaced by
some ridging east of the continent and, relevant to GSP, a shortwave
trough over the Southern Mississippi basin.  This trough will help
to maintain and increase moisture back up to sub-tropical levels,
and keep a chance for afternoon thunderstorms in the forecast for
Wednesday onward. GFS surface forecast gains 4 degrees in dewpoint
on Wednesday, regaining the moisture lost on Tuesday. The GFS model
brings the southwest shortwave across the area earlier than the EC,
with Saturday afternoon being a respite from afternoon
thunderstorms, if it is correct. Seasonally weak synoptic features
will lead to near normal temperatures and light winds through the
extended forecast.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
At KCLT and Elsewhere: Expect scattered to widespread showers and
thunderstorms to continue across the area through the rest of today
and into this evening, which will bring periods of flight
restrictions to TAF sites due to heavy downpours/patchy fog and
lowered cigs, as noted by TEMPO groups. Expect a majority of the
activity to wane into tonight, with a few lingering showers possible
overnight. While patchy fog will be possible especially given
saturated soils, latest fcst soundings continue to suggest low cigs
to be the primary concern for some TAF sites with MVFR/IFR/possible
LIFR overnight. Cigs may be gradual to lift Sunday morning, thus
have kept with VFR/MVFR trend. Winds will remain light overall, with
brief gusty winds possible in any stronger storms.

Outlook: Isolated to widely scattered tstms expected Sunday and
Monday. An uptick in thunderstorm coverage is then likely Tuesday
through Wednesday. Fog and low stratus restrictions will be possible
each morning, especially over the usual mountain valleys. Otherwise
expect VFR.
