Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado 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.

CACWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Mar 23, 7:51 PM EDT, 2 hours 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 23, 7:51 PM EDT, 2 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 751 PM EDT Wed Mar 23 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move to the Carolina coast on Thursday. Cooler air will begin spilling into the region on Friday, with additional disturbances arriving over the weekend from the northwest to reinforce the cooler air across the area. Light snow showers will be possible across the higher ridges of the North Carolina mountains over the weekend. Expect warmer weather in the first half of next week ahead of the next cold front. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 6pm EDT Showers have been a bit widely scattered early this evening with with some more general convective showers over western NC. Development of stronger and possibly severe storms is possible generally near and southeast of the I85 corridor. Risk for severe development will end from west to east as frontal system progresses southeastward, and after dark as the boundary layer becomes more stable. Deep layer shear is quite strong, and combined with some CAPE will continue a risk for severe weather. Overnight, as postfrontal air impinges on the region, profiles will rapidly dry out. All the CAMs (with the exception of the bullish and likely overdone NAMnest) depict an end to rain by 01-03Z and steady clearing after midnight. Temperatures nonetheless look to stay 7-9 degrees above normal tonight. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 1215 PM EDT Wednesday: The expected trough passage may be a bit slower than previously anticipated, leading to a prolonged period of west to northwest flow atop the region Friday into the weekend. The upslope flow near the TN border will likely support at least isolated showers at times, especially north of I-40. Lowering heights/thicknesses will support well below normal temperatures especially across the mountains and may support a mixture with or changeover to snow at times at higher elevations. Still challenging to pin down the potential for accumulations at the highest elevations as guidance is struggling with the placement of a potent short-wave trough Saturday or Saturday night. Decent upper support and tightening surface pressure gradient will support gusty winds (possibly reaching advisory level across the mountains). If fuels dry out fast enough, the gusty winds and drying east of the mountains may support elevated fire danger. Despite continued wind into the overnight, Saturday night will be notably cold for this time of year with lows in the 30s except 20s above 3000 feet and in sheltered valleys. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 12 PM EDT Wednesday: Near normal forecast confidence takes a nose dive by mid week as guidance cannot decide how much phasing occurs with northern and southern stream jets over the central U.S. Short-wave ridging will support temperatures rebounding to at least to near normal early in the week. Although one more day of frosty morning lows is possible Monday, especially for northern areas. Prolonged dry conditions could lead to elevated fire conditions should low afternoon relative humidity values prevail. A warm front lifting north in response to building heights may brush the area with a myriad of mainly mid to high clouds Monday into Monday night. Cannot rule out a few sprinkles or showers focused across the northern mountains during this time. Otherwise, expect mostly sunny skies to prevail. Unsettled weather will likely return sometime mid-week (Wednesday or Thursday), but it may be short lived as the weather pattern becomes zonal and more progressive. Temperatures will likely peak above normal before the potential cold front passage midweek. && .AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... At KCLT and elsewhere: Isolated areas of severe weather have been seen this evening with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Line currently just southeast of the mountains will decline in intensity after dark, with remnants moving southeast to TAF sites through 8Z. Current southerly to southwesterly wind gusts to 25kts will also decline after dark. KAVL and KHKY are the only 2 TAF sites likely to see thunder this evening, with other sites having possible lighter showers after dark. As strong upper system moves eastward, surface winds become more westerly on Thursday, and will again be gusty during the day. This will help to dry soundings, and IFR conditions will be prevalent by early Thursday morning and afterward. Outlook: Clearing should continue into Friday. Low-level moisture and NW flow will bring an increase in clouds and potentially some light precipitation into the forecast Friday evening into Saturday. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
