Multiple lines of showers and thunderstorms affected western North Carolina during the evening, one that developed along a surface trough over the foothills and eastern Blue Ridge escarpment, and another that moved into the area from east Tennessee. Isolated embedded severe thunderstorms produced brief damaging winds.

The episode as NWS GSP wrote it up.
Multiple lines of showers and thunderstorms affected western North Carolina during the evening, one that developed along a surface trough over the foothills and eastern Blue Ridge escarpment, and another that moved into the area from east Tennessee. Isolated embedded severe thunderstorms produced brief damaging winds.
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 Jun 8, 3:50 PM EST, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
450 PM EDT MON JUN 8 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT CROSS THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST TUESDAY EVENING.
SUBTROPICAL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEK...RESULTING IN DAILY SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 430 PM...CONVECTION REMAINS RATHER TAME IN TERMS OF INTENSITY
AND COVERAGE THUS FAR THIS AFTERNOON. BEST COVERAGE OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF HOURS HAS BEEN ACROSS THE SC PIEDMONT...WITHIN AXIS OF
2000+ SBCAPE. HOWEVER...THE OUTFLOW FROM THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN AN
UNDERPERFORMER AS IT/S MOVED FARTHER NORTH INTO THE I-85 CORRIDOR.
MEANWHILE...COVERAGE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
AREAS HAS BEEN WIDELY SCATTERED. MEANWHILE...WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY
PERSISTS ACROSS THE TENN VALLEY/CUMBERLAND PLATEAU WITHIN BETTER
FORCED/PRE-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. DESPITE THE APPROACH OF ANOMALOUSLY
STRONG UPPER TROUGH...SHEAR REMAINS QUITE WEAK ACROSS MUCH OF THE
SOUTHEAST...WITH THE BEST 0-6KM BULK SHEAR PROFILES STILL OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY AND MID-MISS VALLEY. THIS CERTAINLY IS REFLECTED NICELY
ON REGIONAL 88DS...WHICH REVEAL DECIDEDLY BETTER ORGANIZATION OF
THE ACTIVITY ACROSS NE TENN AND EASTERN KENTUCKY. MEANWHILE...
ALTHOUGH FLOW HAS IMPROVED THROUGH A DEEP LAYER ACROSS OUR FORECAST
AREA...UNIDIRECTIONAL PROFILES ARE YIELDING NON-EXISTENT LOW LEVEL
SHEAR. OVERALL...IT DOESN/T APPEAR THAT THERE WILL BE MUCH OF AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY LOCALIZED UPSCALE ORGANIZATION ACROSS OUR AREA
THIS AFTERNOON. THUS...THE SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE LIMITED TO
PERHAPS A FEW PULSE STORMS. SOME UPTICK IN THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOMEWHAT ORGANIZED/LOCALIZED SEVERE STORMS WILL OCCUR EARLY THIS
EVENING...MAINLY ACROSS OUR NW ZONES...AS THE EAST TENN ACTIVITY
PUSHES INTO WESTERN NC...JUST IN TIME FOR INSTABILITY TO BEGIN ITS
NOCTURNAL WANE.
AS OF 215 PM...A LARGE UPPER TROF WILL CROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND
OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WAS ANALYZED BACK OVER
THE GREAT LAKES TO THE MIDWEST. A COUPLE OF LINES OF PRE-FRONTAL
CONVECTION HAS FIRED ACRS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND TN VALLEY.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL PROPAGATE EAST TOWARD THE NC MTNS THIS EVENING.
THE HIGH-RES MODELS SEEM TO BE TRENDING TOWARD THE BULLISH NAM ON
BRINGING AN MCS INTO THE MTNS EARLY THIS EVENING...THEN GRADUALLY
WEAKENING THE LINE AS IT CROSSES THE MTNS...WITH SOME
DEBRIS/DECAYING SHOWERS TO THE PIEDMONT BEFORE DAYBREAK TUESDAY. IN
THE MEANTIME...THE CWFA IS ALREADY UNSTABLE...WITH SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHWRS AND A FEW GARDEN VARIETY TSTMS DEVELOPING. THE LATEST
SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE SHOWS 1500-2500 J/KG OF SBCAPE WITH ABOUT
600-800 J/KG OF DCAPE. SO A COUPLE OF MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS IS
POSSIBLE THIS AFTN. OTHERWISE...THE BETTER CHC FOR SEVERE WX WILL BE
WITH THE MCS ALONG THE TN/NC BORDER THIS EVENING. POPS REFLECT THIS
THINKING...WITH SOLID CHC TO LIKELY THIS AFTN...THEN CATEGORICAL
ALONG THE TN BORDER TO CHC ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF I-85 THIS EVENING.
TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL MAINLY IN THE 60S OVERNIGHT.
TUESDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE NC MTNS BY
MIDDAY...ALLOWING THE PIEDMONT TO REMAIN MOIST AND UNSTABLE FOR AFTN
HEATING. THE GFS HAS SBCAPE REACH INTO THE 2000 J/KG RANGE...BUT THE
12Z NAM NOW MIXES OUT THE DEWPTS WITH AN INCREASING DOWNSLOPE
WESTERLY FLOW...SUCH THAT ONLY A FEW POCKETS OF 1000-1500 J/KG ARE
SEEN IN OUR AREA. THE FCST SNDGS ALSO SHOW INCREASING CIN...AS
DOWNSLOPE WARMS THE 850 MB TEMPS. SO THINK THERE WILL ONLY BE ISOLD
TO WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION...MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-85.
GIVEN THE POTENTIAL CAPE...ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP MAY BE
SEVERE...WITH HAIL AND WIND BEING POTENTIAL THREATS. TEMPS WILL BE
NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL...DESPITE THE UPPER TROF OVER THE AREA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 2 PM EDT MONDAY...THE FIRST PORTION OF THE SHORT TERM
WILL BE RATHER QUIET AS THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND ANY ASSOCIATED
CONVECTION SLIPS SOUTH THE AREA INTO THE SC MIDLANDS TUE EVENING PER
THE GFS SOLUTION. HIGH WEAK PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE
AREA TUE NIGHT INTO WED WITH CONVECTIVE CHANCES SUPPRESSED FOR MUCH
OF WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...BOTH THE 12Z NAM AND GFS FORECAST WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON CAPES OVER THE MOUNTAINS TO RECOVER TO NEAR OR ABOVE
1000J/KG WHICH WOULD SUPPORT ISOLATED/SCT THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
HIGH TERRAIN. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD FADE QUICKLY WEDNESDAY EVENING.
ON THURSDAY...DIURNALLY DRIVEN ISOLATED/SCT CONVECTION IS EXPECTED
ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW AND
MODESTLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR CLIMO ON
WED... WARMING A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ON THU.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM EDT MONDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE WILL FEATURE A BUILDING
UPPER ANTICYCLONE OVER SE STATES WHICH WILL ALLOW THE SUBTROPICAL
SURFACE HIGH TO BUILD WESTWARD ACROSS THE AREA. THIS DEEP LAYER
RIDGING LOOKS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE OPERATIONAL GFS AND
EC HINT THAT A BACKDOOR FRONT MIGHT MAKE A RUN AT THE AREA EARLY
NEXT WEEK...BUT WPC KEEPS THE BOUNDARY WELL NORTH OF THE AREA WHICH
LOOKS REASONABLE. HENCE WITH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REMAINING IN
PLACE...IT WILL WORK TO KEEP CONVECTION RELATIVELY SUPPRESSED ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST U.S. THE BEST CHANCES FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION
WILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS WHERE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AFFECTS WILL
BE MOST PRONOUNCED. THE FCST WILL FEATURE DIURNAL TSRA OVER THE
REGION EACH AFTERNOON WITH THE HIGHEST POPS RESIDING OVER MOUNTAINS.
WITH THE DEEP LAYER RIDGING...TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE VERY WARM
WITH MAX TEMPS A CATEGORY OR TWO ABOVE CLIMO.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHRA AND TSRA WILL BE AROUND THE
TERMINAL THIS AFTN...WITH BEST CHC OF TS WITHIN 5-10 MILES IN THE
20-24Z TIME FRAME. CUMULUS ARE PRODUCING A CIG THAT SHUD LIFT TO
AROUND 4-5 KFT BY PEAK HEATING...WITH SW WIND BECOMING MARGINALLY
GUSTY. TONIGHT...A LINE OF TSTMS IS EXPECTED TO PUSH ACRS THE NC
MTNS THIS EVENING...WITH SOME SORT OF DECAYING CONVECTION POSSIBLY
REACHING KCLT DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. WILL USE TEMPO FOR SHRA
GIVEN THE LOW CONFIDENCE OF TS AT THAT TIME. WINDS MAY BRIEFLY SHIFT
OUT OF THE NW AS THE COLD POOL PUSHES OFF THE BLUE RIDGE. MOS
GUIDANCE IS TRENDING TOWARD SOME MVFR STRATUS DEVELOPING IN WAKE OF
THOSE SHOWERS BEFORE DAYBREAK TUESDAY. HOWEVER...FCST SNDGS DO NOT
SUPPORT MUCH LOW CLOUDS. WILL GO WITH A FEW HOURS OF MVFR...GIVEN
THE EXPECTED RAIN ACRS THE REGION AND LLVL SW FLOW. WHATEVER LOW
CLOUDS MAY DEVELOP SHUD LIFT/SCATTER FAIRLY QUICKLY TUESDAY
MORNING...AS FLOW VEERS TO MORE OF A DOWNSLOPE WESTERLY DIRECTION.
ELSEWHERE...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION SHUD WARRANT A VCTS AT
ALL SITES THIS AFTN. THERE MAY BE A LULL IN ACTIVITY EARLY THIS
EVENING AHEAD OF A PRE-FRONTAL LINE OF CONVECTION THAT THE HIGH-RES
MODELS ARE FCSTING TO PUSH ACRS THE MTNS THIS EVENING. SOME FORM OF
DECAYING CONVECTION MAY PUSH ALL THE WAY ACRS THE BLUE RIDGE INTO
THE PIEDMONT DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. SO WILL KEEP PROB30 FOR
SH/TS. EVEN JUST SOME LIGHT RAIN FROM THE DECAYING STORMS MAY HELP
MORNING STRATUS TO DEVELOP...ESP ACRS THE PIEDMONT. ALTHO GUIDANCE
IS MIXED ON THIS. WILL INDICATE SOME MVFR CIGS AT ALL SITES AROUND
DAYBREAK. WHATEVER LOW CLOUDS MAY DEVELOP SHUD LIFT/SCATTER FAIRLY
QUICKLY TUESDAY MORNING...AS FLOW VEERS TO MORE OF A DOWNSLOPE
WESTERLY DIRECTION.
OUTLOOK...ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY AS A COLD
FRONT SETTLES ACROSS THE REGION. THE FRONT MAY STALL JUST SE OF THE
AREA WEDNESDAY...WITH CONTINUED DIURNAL ISOLD TO SCT TSTM CHANCES
THROUGH MID WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WILL REDEVELOP THROUGH LATE
WEEK...BUT WITH ISOLD AFTN TSRA STILL POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
MTNS.
