The episode as NWS GSP wrote it up.
A thunderstorm blew down a few trees over northern Greenville County.
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 Aug 10, 4:23 PM EST, 2 hours 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
523 PM EDT SAT AUG 10 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE REGION LATE
TUESDAY. EXPECT COOLER TEMPERATURES LATE IN THE WEEK AS CANADIAN
HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES THE FRONT TO NEAR THE GULF COAST.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF LATE AFTERNOON...STILL SEEING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS. AIR MASS
RECOVERY WAS TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE NRN UPSTATE WHERE EARLIER
CONVECTION HAD MOVED THROUGH. NEW DEVELOPMENT ON AN EAST-WEST
ORIENTED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL BRING THE CHANCE BACK UP INTO UPSTATE
SC. PRECIP CHANCES REMAIN HIGHEST OVER THE NW PIEDMONT AS A
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVES SLOWLY EAST. OTHERWISE...TEMPS WERE
ADJUSTED TO ACCOUNT FOR POOLS OF RAIN-COOLED AIR.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AS OF 230 PM EDT...STRONG INSOLATION E OF THE MTNS THIS AFTN HAS
PUSHED SFC BASED CAPE VALUES TO A ROBUST 3000 TO 5000 J/KG GIVEN THE
MID 70S DEWPOINTS IN MOST AREAS. WIDESPREAD COVERAGE HAS ALREADY
TRIGGERED FROM THE ERN SLOPES OF THE MTNS TO THE ADJACENT
FOOTHILLS...AND WESTERLY STEERING FLOW AND OUTFLOWS SHOULD ALLOW
THIS TO PROPAGATE EWD THROUGH THE MID TO LATE AFTN. COVERAGE AND
RAINFALL INTENSITY SHOULD REMAIN HIGHEST ACROSS WRN NC...ESPECIALLY
THE FOOTHILLS...GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE PLUME
EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. STILL ANTICIPATE THAT COVERAGE WILL
WANE FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING IN
SPITE OF THE WEAK SURFACE FRONT DRAPED NORTH OF THE AREA. ANOTHER
ROUND OF MORNING LOW CLOUDS...PATCHY FOG TOWARD DAYBREAK...AND MIN
TEMPS WELL ABOVE NORMAL APPEARS ON TAP FOR SUNDAY MORNING.
IT NOW APPEARS THAT THE SFC COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM KY THROUGH VA
THIS AFTN WILL GENERALLY REMAIN N OF THE FORECAST AREA OR WASH OUT
THROUGH SUNDAY. EXPECT MAINLY JUST A SFC TROUGH TO SET UP ACROSS THE
REGION. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE SHOULD STILL PROVIDE ENOUGH FORCING
FOR NUMEROUS NW TO SCT SE COVERAGE BY SUN AFTN...WITH THE FOCUS
AGAIN BEING THE MTNS EARLY...THEN ALONG THE PIEDMONT TROUGH AXIS
THROUGH THE AFTN HOURS. THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A 0 TO 6 KM SHEAR
GRADIENT FROM HIGHER VALUES ACROSS THE NRN FRINGE NEAR 25 KT...TO
LOWER VALUES NEAR 10 TO 15 KT ACROSS THE FAR S. THIS SUGGESTS THAT
THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR ISOLD SEVERE LATE TODAY AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY
AFTN WILL BE THE NC FOOTHILLS/PIEDMONT. HYDRO CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE
TO BE A PROBLEM JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE TRAINING DEVELOPS...BUT FOCUSED
CONVECTION ALONG THE ERN SLOPS OF THE MTNS WILL PROVIDE THE MOST
AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR TRAINING AND ISOLD FLASH FLOODING. WILL
CONTINUE TO CAP MAX TEMPS SUN AFTN BELOW MOST GUIDANCE GIVEN RECENT
PERFORMANCE IN THIS AIRMASS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM EDT SATURDAY...LOOKS TO BE A FAIRLY ACTIVE SHORT RANGE
FORECAST PERIOD ACROSS THE AREA AS BROAD SCALE UPPER TROF PERSISTS.
BY EARLY SUNDAY EVENING...DIURNALLY FORCED CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE
ONGOING ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWFA. EXPECTING MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY TO
PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OF MONDAY MORNING AS DAYTIME
HEATING INDUCED INSTABILITY WILL BE SLOW TO DISSIPATE.
FURTHERMORE...WESTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW ALONG THE HIGH TERRAIN WILL AID
IN PERSISTENCE OF SHOWER AND OR THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY.
UPPER LVL AND ASSOCIATED SFC RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC MIGRATES SLIGHTLY TO THE WEST BY MONDAY MORNING. AS A
RESULT...LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS WILL SHIFT
TO MORE OF A NORTHWESTERLY COMPONENT DURING THE DAY MONDAY ENHANCING
UPSLOPE LIFT ALONG THE HIGH TERRAIN. FURTHERMORE...MODELS ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH INSTABILITY AXIS REMAINING ACROSS THE EASTERN
ZONES ON MONDAY. HOWEVER...SOUNDINGS DO INDICATE A FAIR AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE IN THE MID LEVELS INDICATING THAT HEATING COULD BE DAMPENED
SOMEWHAT DUE TO CLOUD COVER. MENTIONED LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS OF NC IS ASSOCIATION WITH UPSLOPE LIFTING...AND CHANCE
POPS ELSEWHERE DUE TO POSSIBLE DAYTIME HEATING INDUCED CONVECTION.
EXPECTING ACTIVITY TO PERSIST FOR A FEW HOURS BEYOND SUNSET MONDAY
EVENING BEFORE DYING OFF AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS.
AMPLIFYING UPPER TROF WILL INTERACT WITH EAST/WEST ORIENTED STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS KY/VA ON TUESDAY. THIS BOUNDARY WILL
FINALLY MOVE INTO THE REGION ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON THUS PROVIDING A
FOCUS FOR ENHANCED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. THERE IS SOME
DISCONTINUITY BETWEEN MODELS WITH RESPECT TO THE AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY THAT WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY. NAM
GUIDANCE WHICH IS NORMALLY THE MOST AGGRESSIVE KEEPS THE AXIS OF
GREATER CAPE ALONG AND EAST OF THE I85 CORRIDOR...WHILE THE GFS
PLACES IT FURTHER TO THE NORTHWEST. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO
THE GFS BEING SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH THE BOUNDARY PROGRESSION INTO THE
REGION WHICH ALLOWS FOR MORE HEATING. EITHER WAY WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW STORMS REACH STRONG TO SEVERE LIMITS ON
TUESDAY AS SHEAR INCREASES IN PROXIMITY TO THE FRONT. THUS...CARRIED
LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION INTO TUESDAY EVENING.
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE NEAR OR JUST SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM SATURDAY...EXTENDED RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
THAT A BROAD AREA OF CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD
SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION IN MID WEEK. THE OLD
STATIONARY FRONT WHICH HAD LINGERED FOR MANY DAYS WILL BE PICKED UP
BY A SECONDARY COLD FRONT...AND PUSHED TO CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
GEORGIA AND LOWER PIEDMONT OF THE CAROLINAS. THE GFS...ECMWF AND THE
CANADIAN ARE IN AGREEMENT. DRIER AIR WILL BE PUSHED SOUTH...BUT THE
FRONT WILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO NE GA AND UPSTATE SC TO HAVE MORE OF
AN AFFECT ON THEIR WEATHER LATE WEEK. ON WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH THE MAIN AXIS OF INSTABILITY WILL BE TOWARD THE
COAST...THE GFS HAS OVER 1000 CAPE SOUTH OF I-85. AS FRONT MOVES
FARTHER SOUTH...MORE STABLE AIR WILL BE IN PLACE FOR THE LATER HALF
OF THE WEEK. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE THE CENTER OF THE CANADIAN
HIGH MOVING OVER PA IN THE LATE THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY TIMEFRAME.
THE GFS INDICATES THE BEND IN THE PRESSURE FIELD FOR A COOL AIR
WEDGE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS. EXPECTING TEMPERATURES
TO BE AT LEAST 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL NEXT WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION /22Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS FILLING IN ALONG A LINE STRETCHING
FROM THE NW PIEDMONT OF NC TO THE SRN NC FOOTHILLS. THE COMBINATION
OF GOOD INSOLATION AND HIGH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S HAS CREATED
STRONG CAPE ACROSS THE REGION...AND TEMPO TSRA AT KCLT SEEMS A GOOD
BET 20Z TO 00Z AS THIS ACTIVITY STEERS EAST. WILL ALSO ADVERTISE
SOME GUSTS TO 30 KT WITH ANY TSRA AS WELL AS BRIEF RESTRICTIONS.
COVERAGE WILL WANE RAPIDLY THIS EVENING...WITH MAINLY FEW
STRATUS/STRATOCUMULUS AROUND ALONG WITH POSSIBLY BRIEF MVFR VSBY
TOWARD DAYBREAK. BRIEF MVFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH HEATING
SUNDAY MORNING...WHILE ANY RENEWED CONVECTION SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL
THE AFTN HOURS.
ELSEWHERE...FAIRLY SOLID COVERAGE IS INDICATED ON RADAR ALONG THE
ERN ESCARPMENT OF THE MTNS AND THE ADJACENT FOOTHILLS THIS
AFTN...AND THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD STEER EASTWARD IN ROBUST CAPE VALUES
RUNNING 3000 TO 5000 J/KG GIVEN THE RICH LOW LEVEL DEWPOINTS.
ANTICIPATE TEMPO TSRA THROUGHOUT...WITH BRIEF WIND GUSTS IN THE 20
TO 30 KT RANGE MAINLY 19Z TO 23Z...EXCEPT IMMEDIATELY AT KAVL.
ANTICIPATE RESTRICTIONS WITH ANY TSTMS...POSSIBLY IFR...WITH
ADDITIONAL IFR TO MVFR RESTRICTIONS FORMING OVERNIGHT IN PLACES THAT
RECEIVE HEAVY RAINFALL. THE MOST EXTENDED DAYBREAK IFR CONDITIONS
SHOULD AFFECT KAVL IN THE FRENCH BROAD VALLEY. EXPECT BRIEF MVFR
CIGS WITH HEATING SUNDAY MORNING THEN VFR CIGS BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND
OF TSRA GETS GOING TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.
OUTLOOK...DEEP MOISTURE AND HIGH COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTN/EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SWD TOWARD THE
REGION FROM THE N. THE BOUNDARY MAY LINGER IN THE AREA THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK...YIELDING DIURNAL SCT TO NUMEROUS TSTMS AND OVERNIGHT
RESTRICTIONS.
