Episode Narrative An upper low increased wind shear and instability across western South Carolina. Numerous thunderstorms developed across the region during the afternoon hours. Some of the storms became severe and a weak tornado was spawned over Greenville County.
Event Narrative NWS survey team found the path of a weak tornado that began in a wooded area just northeast of Lauren Trace Circle. A few trees were downed at this location, with one tree taking down a power line. The tornado intensified as it moved east/northeast from there, downing multiple trees and snapping numerous large limbs along a creek bed before uprooting multiple large trees at a home site on Prince Lake. The tornado continued east northeast, snapping large limbs and knocking down a few trees as it crossed Old Gunter Rd and Mellyn St. About a half-dozen medium to large trees were uprooted at a home between Mellyn St and Mellwood Dr. The tornado lifted shortly after crossing Mellwood Dr.
