A strong upper low slowly lifted northeast across the southern Appalachian Mountains over the 3 day period. While precipitable water values were not particularly strong with the low, a strong low level jet in advance of the system brought strong moisture transport and orographic ascent to the region, centered over the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

The episode as NWS GSP wrote it up.
A strong upper low slowly lifted northeast across the southern Appalachian Mountains over the 3 day period. While precipitable water values were not particularly strong with the low, a strong low level jet in advance of the system brought strong moisture transport and orographic ascent to the region, centered over the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. The hardest hit areas saw between 4 and 7 inches of rain over a two day period, resulting in a widespread duration flood event. Mainstem rivers and reservoirs were also significantly affected by prolonged period of heavy rain.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at May 5, 6:36 AM EST, 1 hour 34 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
736 AM EDT SUN MAY 5 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST ALLOWING INCREASING
ATLANTIC MOISTURE TO MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTH. A FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PRODUCING
UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL FILL IN BEHIND THE FRONT ON THURSDAY ALONG WITH MUCH WARMER
TEMPERATURES.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF DAYBREAK...WIDESPREAD PRECIP CONTINUES TO DEVELOP IN THE
UPSLOPE FLOW...BUT MAINLY TO THE WEST OF HIGHWAY 321. THE PRECIP
SHOULD CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY DEVELOP INTO THE CLT METRO AREA THROUGH
THE MORNING HOURS.
FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...NOT SURE WHAT ELSE CAN BE SAID THAT HAS NOT
ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT TO LIGHT. THE MODEL GUIDANCE HOLDS NO BIG
SURPRISES. AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER OF MOISTURE WILL BE POINTED TOWARD
THE WESTERN CAROLINAS FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST THROUGH TONIGHT.
THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY ROLL TOWARD THE WESTERN
CAROLINAS TODAY...BUT IS EXPECTED TO START TO MEANDER ACROSS THE SW
END OF THE APPALACHIANS TONIGHT. THE MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER LOW WILL
CAUSE THE DEEPER MOISTURE BAND TO PIVOT ACROSS THE REGION AND TAKE
ON A MORE SE TO NW ORIENTATION. THE MAIN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FLUX
CONVERGENCE BAND WILL THEN TRANSLATE N ACROSS THE FCST AREA LATE
TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING WAVE AFTER WAVE OF SHOWERS ACROSS
THE REGION. UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT WILL FOCUS THE HIGHER PRECIP AMOUNTS
IN THE VICINITY OF THE BLUE RIDGE. THIS LOOKS LIKE THE TYPE OF EVENT
WHERE THE WATER WILL GRADUALLY FILL UP CREEKS AND STREAMS AND THEN A
HEAVIER BURST WILL COME ALONG TO PUSH THEM INTO FLOOD. FOLLOWED HPC
GUIDANCE ON THE QPF. THAT SAID...NOT SEEING A GOOD REASON TO EXPAND
THE FLOOD WATCH INTO THE PIEDMONT AT THIS TIME...SO WE WILL LET IT
RIDE. HIGH TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL WITH THE EXTENSIVE
CLOUDINESS AND PRECIP.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AT 250 AM EST SUNDAY...A DEEP...ANOMALOUS CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL BE
OVER AL ON SUNDAY EVENING. THIS LOW MOVES INTO NW GA BY MID DAY
MONDAY... THEN DRIFT SLOWLY SOUTH INTO CENTRAL GA EARLY MONDAY
NIGHT. THE LOW MOVES EAST OVER CENTRAL SC MID DAY TUESDAY AND TO THE
FAYETTEVILLE NC AREA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. ITS INFLUENCE ON OUR
WEATHER GRADUALLY DECREASES IN MID WEEK.
AN OCCLUDED SURFACE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW WILL
CONTINUE MOVING SLOWLY NE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS ON MONDAY.
STRONG MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW AND ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE WILL PRECEDE THE
FRONT INTO THE EAST FACING NC BLUE RIDGE...SUPPORTING HEAVY RAINFALL
THERE THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. MODEST INSTABILITY WILL ACCOMPANY THE
FRONT MAINLY MOVING NORTH ACROSS THE CHARLOTTE METRO AREA AND POINTS
EAST. SOME AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE
CHARLOTTE AREA OVERNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW LINGERS WITH
STEEP LAPSE RATES. THE INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE AGAIN WITH DAY TIME
HEATING ON TUESDAY.
MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO WRAP AROUND THE LOW FROM THE NORTH LATE
TUESDAY WITH THE LOW MOVING EAST OF OUR AREA.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL AS THE UPPER LOW IS NEARBY AND
THEN WARM TO NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT 310 AM EST SUNDAY...THE CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL BE OVER EASTERN NC
WEDNESDAY AND OVER NORFOLK VA BY LATE WED NIGHT. WEAK SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE AND A SHALLOW UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST TO
REPLACE THE PERSISTENT UPPER LOW. SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL
COME DOWN FROM THE NORTH ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW WEDNESDAY
SUPPORTING SOME SHOWERS AND INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITED SO NOT MUCH
IF ANY THUNDER. AT LEAST TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO 60S MTNS AND
LOW TO MID 70S FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT ON WEDNESDAY. DOWNSLOPE FLOW
ON THURSDAY WILL PRODUCE AT LEAST SEASONAL NORMAL TEMPERATURES ON
THURSDAY. MOISTURE ON THURSDAY VERY LIMITED AND ONLY FOR THE NC MTNS
WITH SLIGHT POPS.
THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES AT THE END OF THE WEEK. THE PREVIOUS
ECMWF WAS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE PUSHING THIS SHORTWAVE EAST OF OUR
AREA BY LATE SATURDAY. THE NEWEST RUN OF THE ECMWF IS MORE GFS LIKE
WHICH PRODUCES SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE FRIDAY AND THE
TREND INCREASES ON SATURDAY AS THE SURFACE FRONT GETS CLOSER.
TEMPERATURES MAY REACH 80 IN THE PIEDMONT THURSDAY BUT CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT...KEPT MVFR FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL HOURS. THINK IT WILL TAKE
THE EWD MOVEMENT OF THE STEADIER PRECIP INTO THE SRN PIEDMONT TO
BRING THE IFR CEILING ACROSS THE AIRFIELD. EXPECT CEILING TO FALL
INTO IFR CATEGORY BY 17Z AT THE LATEST...PERHAPS ON A TEMPORARY
BASIS BY MID MORNING. ONCE THERE...THE IFR SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH
THE END OF THE PERIOD. PRECIP WILL COME IN WAVES OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS. THIS COULD BRING BOUTS OF IFR VISIBILITY IN HEAVIER
SHOWERS...BUT FOR NOW WILL HANDLE THE IFR ONLY WITH THE CEILING.
WINDS WILL REMAIN ENE AND GUSTY THROUGH THE DAY. A SHIFT TO ESE IS
LIKELY AS THE LOW MOVES CLOSER AND VEERS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW THIS
EVENING.
ELSEWHERE...SIMILAR TO KCLT EXCEPT THAT PRECIP HAS ALREADY MOVED
IN...SO IFR CONDITIONS WILL EXPAND ACROSS THE REGION IF THEY HAVE
NOT ALREADY.
OUTLOOK...THE WEATHER WILL BE UNSETTLED THRU MID WEEK AS A SLOW
MOVING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AFFECTS THE SOUTHEAST. WIDESPREAD
MVFR/IFR RESTRICTIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
RESTRICTIONS WILL BECOME MORE SPOTTY FROM MONDAY ONWARD.

Campgrounds were evacuated and high water was reported on several roads between Bat Cave and Lake Lure starting a little after 8 am on the 5th.
Several inches of rain fell across Transylvania county, mainly on the 5th. Most of the resulting flooding occurred along the French Broad River or as a result of backwater effects of streams flowing into the river.
