What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 9, 9:50 PM EDT, 2 hours 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 9:50 PM EDT, 2 hours 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
950 PM EDT MON JUN 9 2008

.UPDATE...
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND GULF SEA BREEZE COULD TAP RESIDUAL
INSTABILITY FOR A WHILE LONGER TONIGHT. NO CHANGES TO CURRENT
FORECAST PLANNED.
&&

(PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...)

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

LARGE HEAT RIDGE THAT HAS DOMINATED THE AREA FOR THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS WILL SOON SLIDE EAST...AS CAN BE INFERRED FROM WEAK HEIGHT
FALLS THROUGHOUT THE RIDGE ON THE 12Z 500MB ANALYSIS. NEXT SYSTEM
GEARING UP IN THE PLAINS WILL AFFECT THE SOUTHEAST TOWARD MIDWEEK.
IN THE MEANTIME...SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE
RETREATING SURFACE HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW THESE ISOLATED
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY IN
WEST AND NORTH GEORGIA AIDED BY OROGRAPHIC LIFT.

GFS IS...AS USUAL...LADEN WITH CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK AS THE FRONT
PROGRESSES EAST. THE SYSTEM MAY BE TOO DEEP BECAUSE OF THIS AND AS
A RESULT HAVE TAKEN A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE GFS AND THE NAM WITH
BOTH POPS AND TEMPS. GFS POPS NOT AS HIGH AS NAM POPS AS THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH...THINK THAT CONTINUED LATENT HEAT BOMBS ARE
FOCUSING MOISTURE AWAY FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND THAT NAM MAY HAVE A
BETTER HANDLE ON QPF AND AREAL COVERAGE OF POPS.

AFTER FRONT MOVES THROUGH...RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN ALOFT WEDNESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY. LARGE
UPPER LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE ROCKIES COMBINED WITH LOW OVER
SOUTHEAST CANADA PUTS THE GREAT LAKES IN A CONFLUENT ZONE ALLOWING
A SURFACE HIGH TO DEVELOP IN THIS AREA. CONSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW
OVER THE SOUTHEAST KEEPS US IN A MOIST REGIME FOR THE END OF THE
SHORT-TERM...ALLOWING POPS TO REMAIN IN THE FORECAST.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD AT THE BEGINNING
OF THE EXTENDED IN A WEAK CAD-LOOKALIKE SETUP WILL BRING
TEMPERATURES OUT OF THE 90S AND BACK INTO THE 80S ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA...DESPITE THE STRONG RIDGE ALOFT. EXTENDED MODELS IN
DECENT AGREEMENT ON THIS PATTERN FOR THE MOST PART. STRONG LOW IN
THE NORTHERN PLAINS PUSHES A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS
TOWARD THE WEEKEND...BUT THE ECMWF IS MUCH WEAKER ON THIS THAN THE
GFS...KEEPING THE UPPER RIDGE MUCH STRONGER AND DELAYING THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. VERY LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED SOLUTION
BASED ON THESE DIFFERENCES...BUT IN ANY EVENT WE SHOULD SEE A
RETURN TO CLOSER-TO-NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH INCREASED CHANCES OF
PRECIPITATION.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

NO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS AS A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...
EXCEPT WHERE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OCCUR THERE SHOULD BE NO CLOUDS
OR RESTRICTION TO VISIBILITY OF OPERATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR MUCH OF
THE NIGHT. IN THE PREDAWN HOURS A FEW LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE HAZE/FOG
WITH VISIBILITY IN THE 4 TO 6 MILE RANGE SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS
NIGHT. LOWEST VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY BE IN RIVER VALLEYS AND IN
AREAS THAT DO SEE EVENING PRECIPITATION. THE GULF SEA BREEZE LOOKS
LIKE IT MAY PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR EVENING PRECIP THAT WILL COME CLOSE
TO KCSG. WILL PLAY FOR SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS THERE VERY LATE
TONIGHT WITH THE INJECTION OF BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IN THAT
IMMEDIATE AREA. AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AT MULTIPLE LEVELS WITH TIME
THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS SHOULD LEAD TO SCATTERED TO BROKEN CLOUDS
AROUND 4 THOUSAND TO 6 THOUSAND FEET...AND AT ROUGHLY AROUND 10
THOUSAND FEET AND AT THE CIRRUS LEVEL DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.
LOOKING FOR SKY CONDITIONS TO VARY THROUGH THE DAY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS EVENING ACROSS NORTH AND WEST
CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN. A
COLD FRONT FROM INDIANA TO TEXAS IS MOVING SLOWLY TOWARD GEORGIA.

.PRIMARY HAZARDS...
THE PRIMARY HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL
BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

.DISCUSSION...
INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT IS
BRINGING GULF MOISTURE INTO OUR AREA. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPED IN THE HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING UNTIL MUCH OF THAT HEAT DISSIPATES. LIFTED INDICES IN THE
MINUS 2 TO MINUS 5 RANGE SUGGEST FAIRLY ROBUST UPDRAFTS...SO A FEW
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE INTENSE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING
AND EVEN SOME HAIL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.
