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.

What 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 Aug 14, 8:49 PM EDT, 4 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 14, 8:49 PM EDT, 4 hours 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
849 PM EDT Mon Aug 14 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak cold front will drift slowly from Tennessee and across our
area tonight and reach the eastern Carolinas by Tuesday night.
Expect a few strong to severe storms ahead of the front. As drier
high pressure builds across our region in mid week, we will have
milder temperatures and lower humidity into late week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Evening Update...A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for the
NC mtns and Rabun Co in NE GA effective until 07z. Upstream
convection ahead of a cold front is becoming more organized and
widespread due to increasing effShear and large scale forcing.
Thunderstorm warnings have been issued by WFO MRX and expect this
activity to push into the NC mtns by 03z. Damaging winds, heavy
rainfall, and large hail will be the main threats with a tornado or
two possible into the overnight hours.

The front should push across the forecast area during the day
Tuesday, as a strong shortwave/upper low swings across the OH
Valley. The front is likely to be near the eastern edge of the
Blue Ridge around midday, when diurnal destabilization picks up and
convection initiates. MLCAPE will likely be over 2000 J/kg east of
the mountains, and effective shear around 30-40 kts, allowing for
some storm organization. The HRRR has been showing updraft helicity
swaths, with a quasi-supercell storm mode across the eastern third
of the forecast area. The updated Day 2 SPC convective outlook
has a marginal risk extended back west across our entire Piedmont,
with a slight just into Rowan and Cabarrus counties. If the frontal
timing slows much more, the slight risk may be extended further
west into our area. Temps should be a little cooler in the west
thanks to the fropa, while the southeast corner will see another
hot and humid day, with heat indices in the 100-105 range.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 213 PM Monday: Expect the frontal boundary to still be
lurking over the southeastern zones at sunset on Tuesday, with
some storms along the front primarily around metro Charlotte,
but this activity should continue to move out of the fcst area
thru mid-late evening. By daybreak Wednesday we should notice the
air mass change with a continental high building in from the west
with much drier air. The center of the high will remain to our
west and gradually weaken on Wednesday and Thursday while the old
front has stalled along the coast. The proximity of the front might
keep a few showers/storms just to the southeast of the fcst area
on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon and the fcst will keep that,
even though it is much more likely the convection will be to our
east both days. Temps will be a welcome relief on Wednesday...maybe
a category below normal with low dewpoints...and still a degree
or two below normal for Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 113 PM Monday: The latest model guidance shows a subtle trend
back toward more confidence in a dry solution for the end of the
week into early next week. The main player will be the sprawling
upper anticyclone over the Plains, the center of which may migrate
from OK to IA through the medium range period. The eastern extent
of the anticyclone is shown to gradually expand eastward over the
weekend to eventually envelop the entire forecast area in even
the slowest guidance. The immediate effect will be to suppress
deep convection with a formidable cap and relatively dry boundary
layer, such that even the usual ridgetop shower activity appears
unlikely through the weekend. By Monday, there could be enough
modification to the air mass to allow for some mountain afternoon
convection. For the time being, at least, temperature guidance
looks close to normal, with a warming trend as we start the new
week. Looking ahead, the big question is when/if the center of
the upper anticyclone will ever make it east of the MS River,
and it looks like the answer so far is...not yet.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: VFR conds this evening with little, if any,
in the way of convec renewal. Upper-level warm air has suppressed
deep tstm activity with only minor llvl triggering available. A band
of showers with embedded tstms will likely push into the NC mtns
overnight and have KAVL with VCSH and MVFR CIGs btw 09z-13z. A
decent chance of a convec organized line of tstms quickly traversing
the area Tue and have included PROB30s for thunder at all sites
except at KAND, which may be too far southwest of the better frontal
forcing. Winds remain aligned sw/ly outside the mtns and become low-
end gusty during the afternoon. Winds at KAVL will persist nw/ly
thru the period with a limited gust potential.

Outlook: A cold front is expected to stall just east of the area,
allowing drier air to filter in from the NW on Wednesday and beyond.
Mountain valley fog and low stratus will be possible each morning.
