What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Jan 11, 12:55 AM EST, 2 hours 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 11, 12:55 AM EST, 2 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 1255 AM EST Thu Jan 11 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Dry high pressure will move across the region into Thursday night. Moisture ahead of the next in a series of fast moving low pressure systems will arrive on Friday. That system will move away quickly Friday night, with another weak high moving through for the weekend. Yet another storm system may affect the region early next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/... As of 1240 AM EST Thursday: The forecast remains on track. Solid area of cirrus just to our southeast, but struggling to reach this far north. As a result, good radiational cooling conditions will be in store. Dropped temperatures a degree or two for most the CWA as clear skies will lead the way for colder air. SW winds should be maintained through the next 24-30 hours as surface high pressure drifts eastward along the upper Gulf Coast tonight and tomorrow. A compact upper disturbance will slide across the Midwest tonight...yet any semblance of forcing will remain shunted well to our north, and profiles will be too dry for much more than a few high cirrus overnight. Tomorrow, with the upper disturbance becoming ever more distant...the bulk of upper clouds should be scoured out, and a comparatively warm, sunny day will be in store, with near-or even above-normal afternoon highs. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 2pm EST Wednesday: Fairly potent looking southern track storm system looks to cross over the area on Friday, once again bringing rain and possible thunder. By Friday morning, strong surface low will be anchored along the southern MS river. Easterly surface flow over the GSP area will limit moisture increase ahead of the system, however, with more southerly winds and better moisture advection not commencing until Friday afternoon. Dewpoints will still be in the 30s Friday morning, and warm frontal boundary with better moisture behind it will begin to raise dewpoints into the low to mid 50s by Friday evening. By Friday evening, main dynamical thrust of system may be exiting the area, so timing is suspect as main dynamics move through before sufficient moisture arrives to create significant convective storms. However, this needs to be carefully watched as small changes in low-level wind directions could lead to better moisture return. Currently, most models have very low levels of SBCAPE through the Day on Friday, with the southeast edge of the GSP CWA beginning to see stronger combinations of shear and instability late in the day. Shear will be quite strong, with 80 to 100 kts of deep-layer shear, so potential is there should stronger moisture return actually develop. With the Friday system, pwats peak at about an inch and a quarter and precip totals range from a half inch to an inch, with possibly locally higher amounts in upslope areas on the southwest Appalachians. Much reduced rainfall expectations relative to the system that went through on Tuesday should limit hydro concerns to isolated locations, without widespread high water issues. Temperatures Friday morning will be cold enough, mostly at higher elevations, for some of the early precip to be light snow, with a transition to rain in the afternoon. Snow is also likely at higher elevations with lingering showers behind the main FROPA Friday night. Major cold front crosses through the area Friday night with strong westerly winds behind it. Higher elevations, especially along the TN state line area could see winds strong enough for an advisory Friday afternoon/evening. Strong cold and dry advection behind this front will give clearing conditions on Saturday will rapidly dropping dewpoints, and lows Sunday morning a cold 5 to 10 degrees below normal. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 2:45PM EST Wednesday: Cold Sunday morning with zonal upper flow quickly gives way to next upper short wave passage Sunday afternoon. Dry air mass will scarcely give clouds with this shortwave passage, however, with the next chance for precip not coming in until Monday or Tuesday. Extended models show the development of a long wave structure with a deep upper trough over the eastern CONUS with numerous chances for shortwave passages through Wednesday. This pattern also gives generally lower thickness levels and increased chances for snow over the GSP area through Wednesday. Moisture is still limited. Still the EC model has some snow over most of the CWA on Tuesday. The GFS model, however, restricts frozen precip to the higher elevations. Overall, chances for winter conditions increase into mid next week, though no major event is current on the horizon. && .AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... At KCLT and elsewhere: VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. Deck of cirrus is settled to our southeast and should remain that way for the rest of the night. Winds have subsided with light winds (<6 kts) out of the southwest. Southwesterly winds pick back up throughout the day Thursday, with a northwesterly component at KAVL. Increasing clouds will begin to move in from the southwest by daybreak Friday as cigs will gradually lower from there. Outlook: Calmer weather through today. Another storm system arrives on Friday and early Saturday with associated restrictions. Drier weather will be in store to finish out the upcoming weekend. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. Another in a series of low pressure systems will affect the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia on Friday and Friday evening. This system will bring strong wind shear but weak instability ahead of a cold front during the day, which would raise the potential for a few severe thunderstorms, with damaging wind gusts being the main threat. Areas along and south of Interstate 85 may have the greatest risk depending on how much instability develops. Isolated heavy rainfall is also possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... None.
