The episode as NWS GSP wrote it up.
Numerous showers and thunderstorms developed across the Carolina Piedmont during the afternoon and produced some locally heavy rainfall, which resulted in minor flooding in Uptown Charlotte.
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 Sep 3, 3:34 PM EST, 2 hours 41 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
434 PM EDT WED SEP 3 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL MOISTURE AXIS WILL MEANDER ACROSS THE
CAROLINAS TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE LIFTING NORTHWARD INTO THE
WEEKEND. IN RESPONSE...PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL REMAIN ELEVATED
ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HEATING EACH AFTERNOON. ANOTHER COLD FRONT
WILL SLOWLY PUSH THROUGH THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND WITH SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY ON SATURDAY EVENING AND THROUGH SUNDAY.
COOLER HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE START OF
THE NEW WORK WEEK LEADING TO DECREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 420 PM...NUMEROUS/WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF CONVECTION PERSISTS
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WEAK
SOUTHERLY SHEAR IS SUPPORTING ADVANCE OF THE ASSOCIATED OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES FARTHER NORTH INTO THE UPSTATE AND APPROACHING THE
SOUTHERN NC PIEDMONT. HOWEVER...THESE BOUNDARIES ARE ENCOUNTERING A
DECIDEDLY LESS UNSTABLE AIR MASS (LESS THAN 2000 J/KG PER THE LATEST
SPC MESOANALYSIS)...AND THE LATEST RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES ARE BECOMING A LITTLE LESS ACTIVE AS THEY PUSH FARTHER
NORTH. NEVERTHELESS...WILL CONTINUE WITH LIKELY POPS ROUGHLY
ALONG/SOUTH OF THE I-85 CORRIDOR INTO THE EVENING HOURS. ONE AREA
WHERE POPS HAVE BEEN SCALED BACK QUITE A BIT IS ACROSS THE NC
MTNS... WHERE COVERAGE IS BARELY REGISTERING IN THE ISOLATED
CATEGORY ATTM. THE BEST CHANCES THERE MAY BE LATER THIS EVENING...
AS CONVECTION CURRENTLY PLAGUING THE TENN VALLEY CONTINUES TO DRIFT
NE. WITH WEAK LOW LEVEL SHEAR/DEEP LAYER FLOW...AND HIGH FREEZING
LEVELS...THE MAIN THREATS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE ISOLATED MICROBURSTS
AND LOCALLY HEAVY-TO-EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...CONTINUED WARMING AND
DESTABILIZATION SHOULD FUEL THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS ORGANIZED LOOSELY BY A LEFTOVER VORT CENTER. STILL
THINK WE HAVE A DECENT POTENTIAL FOR WIND DAMAGE FROM WET
MICROBURSTS IN STRONGER STORMS BECAUSE OF DCAPE. HAVE ALTERED THE
PRECIP PROBABILITIES FOR RADAR TRENDS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...
INCLUDING A BIT OF A DELAY TO THE ONSET ACROSS THE NC PIEDMONT...
BASED ON THE CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS. THOSE SAME MODELS STILL
BLOW UP PRECIP OVER NE GEORGIA LATE IN THE DAY AND EXTEND IT
EASTWARD UP THE I-85 CORRIDOR THROUGH EARLY EVENING. THIS IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE OF THE 12Z RUN OF THE SPC WRF. GIVEN THE EXPECTED
DEGREE OF DESTABILIZATION...THIS SEEMS REASONABLE. THE FLASH FLOOD
POTENTIAL MIGHT BE GREATER THAN THE SEVERE TSTM POTENTIAL THROUGH
LATE EVENING. WE WILL HAVE MANY OF THE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS IN
PLACE...HIGH PW...WEAK FORCING ALOFT...SLOW STORM MOTION...BUT NOT
ALL INGREDIENTS. WE LACK A SURFACE BOUNDARY AND THE WARM CLOUD DEPTH
DOES NOT LOOK GREAT. SUSPECT WE WILL SEE A FLASH FLOOD OVER SOME
SMALL AREA...BUT CANNOT NARROW DOWN THE LOCATION ENOUGH TO ISSUE A
WATCH AT THIS TIME.
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...NOT MUCH CHANGE IS EXPECTED AS WE REMAIN
UNDER A FLAT UPPER RIDGE. AN ORPHANED VORT CENTER WILL LANGUISH
ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY WHICH MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH IMPETUS
TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS. SO...AFTER A BRIEF LULL
AROUND DAYBREAK ON THURSDAY...EXPECT WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK AT IT BY
MIDDAY ONCE ANY SORT OF CONVECTIVE DEBRIS OR FOG BURNS OFF. NOT
READY TO COMMIT TO ANYTHING MORE THAN A CHANCE POP ON THURSDAY...BUT
THIS WILL EVENTUALLY BE RAISED TO LIKELY BASED ON MESOSCALE MODEL
OUTPUT CONSENSUS. TEMPS WILL BE MILD AGAIN OVERNIGHT...AND NEAR
NORMAL FOR THURSDAY HIGHS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 225 PM WEDNESDAY...THURSDAY NIGHT...THE NAM...AND TO SOME
DEGREE THE GFS...INDICATES THAT A CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE SEA BREEZE
WILL REACH THE PIEDMONT DURING THE LATE NIGHT HOURS. LINGERING
INSTABILITY AND LIKELIHOOD OF AN APPROACHING SEA BREEZE WILL SUPPORT
A MENTION OF SCHC TO CHC POPS THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. ON FRIDAY...H5
RIDGING WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST...WITH THE
CWA BETWEEN TWO H7 RIDGES. AT THE SFC...BROAD LOW PRESSURE ACROSS
THE DEEP SOUTH WITH A HIGH CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THE
SFC PATTERN SHOULD YIELD LIGHT LLVL SOUTHEAST FLOW...PROVIDING WEAK
UPSLOPE FLOW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. I WILL FORECAST A MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON PEAK IN POPS...RANGING FROM LIKELY ACROSS THE RIDGES TO 30
TO 40 ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. TEMPERATURES SHOULD VERIFY NEAR NORMAL.
ON SATURDAY...SHORT RANGE MODELS INDICATE THAT A MID LEVEL SHORT
WAVE WILL RIPPLE ACROSS KY/TN DURING THE AFTERNOON. AS THE SHORT
WAVE APPROACHES...HEIGHTS ACROSS THE CWA WILL GRADUALLY FALL. THE
COMBINATION OF MODERATE INSTABILITY AND SOME MID LEVEL SUPPORT
SHOULD RESULT IN LIKELY COVERAGE ACROSS THE MTNS TO 40 POPS EAST.
NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED AGAIN ON SATURDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...A RATHER LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH WILL
SWING ACROSS THE EASTERN STATES SAT NIGHT INTO SUN FOLLOWED BY AN
UPPER SHORTWAVE MONDAY. AN UPPER RIDGE WILL AMPLIFY ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN CONUS TUE INTO WED WHILE ANOTHER DEEP UPPER LOW PRESSURE
TROUGH IS PROGGED TO DIG INTO THE UPPER GREAT PLAINS BY WED.
AT THE SURFACE...A STATIONARY FRONT WILL BE OVER OUR CWA SAT NIGHT
INTO SUN BEFORE SLIPPING SOUTH OUR OF THE ARE BY SUN NIGHT AS A
WEDGE OF SURFACE HIGH BUILDS IN FROM THE NE. POPS REMAIN IN THE
SOLID CHANCE TO LIKELY RANGE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION THRU SUN
BEFORE RAMPING DOWN BY SUN NIGHT. MON/TUE LOOKS RATHER DRIER AS THE
COOL AIR WEDGE OVER THE REGION STABILIZES THE ATMOS THOUGH DEEP
MOISTURE AXIS JUST TO OUR SOUTH ALONG WITH MOIST UPGLIDE MAY PRODUCE
SOME LIGHT SHOWERS. HENCE...HAVE CARRIED AFTERNOON SLIGHT CHANCE TO
LOW END CHANCE POPS MON/TUE. MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW REDEVELOPS ACROSS
THE AREA BY WED AFTERNOON AS THE PARENT HIGH CENTERED OVER THE NE
SLIDES OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN 5-10 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...A LIGHT NE WIND SHOULD COME AROUND TO LIGHT
SE THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP AS WELL. THE
CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS DEVELOP PRECIP INTO METRO CLT AROUND 22Z
SO THAT WILL BE USED TO OPEN A 4 HR TIME WINDOW FOR TSRA AT THE
AIRPORT. THERE COULD EASILY BE STORMS WELL INTO THE EVENING BUT THE
TSRA WILL BE DROPPED AT 02Z FOR NOW. ANY STORM COULD HAVE HEAVY RAIN
WITH LOW IFR VISIBILITY...AND STRONG VARIABLE WIND GUSTS DUE TO WET
MICROBURSTS. IF THE RAIN HAPPENS AT THE SITE...THE CHANCE FOR AN
EARLY MORNING FOG RESTRICTION SHOULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. WILL
LEAVE THE FOG/MVFR VIS OUT FOR NOW. EXPECT CONVECTION TO DEVELOP
AGAIN THURSDAY MORNING FAIRLY EARLY IN THE DAY SO THE TAF INCLUDES
AN MVFR CEILING JUST AFTER SUNRISE. EXPECT MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS
THURSDAY AFTERNOON BUT THAT WAS LEFT OUT FOR NOW.
OUTLOOK...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF
THE WEEK...BUT LOW CLOUD AND FOG RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE EARLY
EACH MORNING IN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS. DIURNALLY DRIVEN TSRA ARE
EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...WITH THE MOST COVERAGE
OVER THE MOUNTAINS. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE MAY INCREASE THIS WEEKEND
AS A COLD FRONT ARRIVES.
