The radar

The Greer radar (KGSP), 22 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 16:42 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.

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 Jul 9, 10:16 AM EDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 10:16 AM EDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
1016 AM EDT Fri Jul 9 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak cold front will support late morning through early evening
showers and thunderstorms across the region. An active mid-
summertime pattern, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms each
afternoon, will develop this weekend and continue into at least
early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 10 AM Friday: We're already seeing a cluster of thunderstorms
make their way into Graham and Swain Counties from Eastern Tenn.
This activity should steadily push eastward into the aftn with
convective coverage expanding in the process. Otherwise, the fcst
appears to be in fairly good shape wrt the earlier onset of
convection.

Over the next 24 hours, the upper pattern is expected to flatten and
deamplify across the region. A weak cold front over the lower OH
Valley region should move in our direction with enough mid/upper
support to keep it moving through tonight. Ahead of the front, model
guidance suggests a favorable environment for thunderstorms to
develop over the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. Although
the mid/upper forcing doesn't look all that great, the air mass
should sustain mixed-layer CAPE around 1500-2000 J/kg by midday and
enough shear (15-20 kt) to provide for some weak organization.
Expect a handful of strong/severe storms, altho chances are slightly
better to our east. The CAMs develop storms a bit earlier than
usual, so the main threat will be more toward the early part of the
afternoon. The coverage should decrease during the mid/late
afternoon, followed by the frontal passage in the early morning
hours on Saturday. Temps should be slightly above normal.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 315 AM EDT Friday: Model guidance is in good agreement that
upper energy over the northern Rockies will drop into the Central
U.S. and form a closed and temporarily cut-off vertically stacked
low pressure system. Meanwhile the Bermuda high to our east will
retrograde westward while strengthening. The resultant tightening of
surface pressure gradients and 500 mb heights will drive deep layer
moist southerly flow by Sunday. The southerly flow will also help to
activate any lingering weak frontal boundary along or just south of
the area northward as a warm front, likely pushing north of the
region by Sunday. For Saturday, it appears the best shot of diurnal
convection is across the mountains, where there is a better overlap
of sufficient low level moisture and modest mid level lapse rates.
However, weak westerly flow will likely push some of the afternoon
to early evening convection east or southeast into adjacent Piedmont
areas. For Sunday the southerly flow regime with increase upper
heights focused across eastern areas would again support the best
convective coverage over the mountains thanks to weak mechanical
lift and better differential heating. Forcing outside of the
mountains is questionable with marginal capping of the atmosphere
possible due to subsidence associated with the building Bermuda
high. Some guidance focused convective initiation outside of the
mountains across the Midlands of SC possible due to some combination
of an inland penetrating sea breeze front or a weak disturbance.
Regardless of the location of convective initiation, associated
outflow boundaries will likely help to overcome any weak low level
capping, spawning additional convective upstream. Neither day looks
particularly concerning convection-wise, however precipitable water
values nearing two inches Sunday may support a low end, localized
excessive rainfall threat should cells become anchored or train.
Increasing moisture and cloud cover Sunday will largely offset
increasing heights aloft resulting in near climo temperatures both
days.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 330 AM EDT Friday: The aforementioned closed low will become
reabsorbed in the mid-latitude westerlies early next week. The net
result will be to knock down the Bermuda High from roughly 598 to
594 dm will reposition what is left of it over the southeast. The
weak trough passing to our north may drag a weak front into the
region by mid-week, but more likely this boundary will stall just to
our northwest. The diurnally driven active pattern will likely
continue into at least Monday or Tuesday, especially across the
mountains as they will be closer to the associated falling heights.
By mid-week zonal flow takes over with upper ridging focused along
the southeast coast. This may suppress diurnal forced convective
activity, especially south of the mountains across the Upstate of SC
into northeast GA where the flow pattern is less conducive for the
deliverance of afternoon to evening focused ridgetop convection.
Seasonably hot and humid conditions will continue through the period
with afternoon temperature peaking above 90 for many east of the
mountains.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Starting out with a pesky area of IFR/LIFR
stratus across parts of the CLT metro area this morning. This low
cloud ceiling should scatter out by 13Z or so. A weak cold front
will approach today. Expect cu to develop with minimal heating
after daybreak, eventually resulting in a VFR bkn ceiling by late
morning. Wind will be light SW or WSW ahead of the front. Most
of the model guidance develops showers and thunderstorms across
the region in the late morning to late afternoon hours, so all
sites get a TEMPO group at some point from 15Z to 22Z to handle
the brief restriction. After the main convection moves east, the
wind should bend around to WSW, then NW behind the weak boundary
in the mid evening. We will have to watch for fog developing in
the early morning hours on Saturday.

Outlook: An unsettled pattern, with mainly diurnal convection and
morning stratus/fog, is expected to persist through the weekend
and into early next week.
