$$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 Apr 10, 5:23 PM EDT, 5 hours 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 5:23 PM EDT, 5 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 523 PM EDT FRI APR 10 2009 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... HIGH RISK OF SEVERE TSTMS AND 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF TORNADOES HAS DEVELOPED OVER NORTHWEST GA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE 18Z FFC SOUNDING SHOWS THE ATMOSPHERE HAS DESTABILIZED QUICKLY WITH THE DIURNAL HEATING. LI MINUS 5.3...CAPE 1800 J/KG...AND SR HELICITY OF 317. ALSO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED WITH THE STRONG TSTMS... PW 1.1 INCH AND K INDEX OF 37. HOWEVER...STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE AT 50 MPH SO INTENSE...BUT BRIEF HEAVY RAIN SHOULD OCCUR WITH TEMPORARY STREET FLOODING OR PONDING ON ROADS. ALL SEVERE TSTM PARAMETERS ARE BEING MET WITH THE POTENTIAL OF GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL. WITH THE STRONG LLJ MOVING INTO THE AREA...WILL BE CONTINUING THE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH MIDNIGHT. UPPER LOW IS ABSORBED BY LONGWAVE TROUGH AND IS ONLY A SHORTWAVE IMPULSE BY THE TIME THE SYSTEM MOVES OUT ON SATURDAY. HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN IN PLACE ALLOWS A COOL HIGH PRESSURE TO SLIDE EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND RIDGE DOWN THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIANS ON SUNDAY. CURRENT ADVERTISED HIGH TEMPS MAY BE TOO WARM AS CLASSICAL CAD SETS UP. THIS WILL BE A FACTOR ON MONDAY AS MEANWHILE ANOTHER SYSTEM GEARS UP OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. MERGED MAV AND MET GUIDANCE FOR MIN TEMPS TONIGHT AND MAX TEMPS SATURDAY. POPS WERE INCREASED AROUND 10 PERCENT OVER NORTH GA THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...MAV MOS GUIDANCE WAS GENERALLY ACCEPTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD. .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... ECMWF (00Z RUN) IS SLOWER THAN THE GFS WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM... WHICH IS PROBABLY A MORE REASONABLE SOLUTION GIVEN THE AMPLITUDE OF THE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY AND THE STRENGTH OF THE CAD...THOUGH THE ECMWF DOES NOT USUALLY HANDLE CAD VERY WELL. THE COLD DOME IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA WILL CERTAINLY HAVE A STABILIZING INFLUENCE...BUT THEN AGAIN THE INHERENT HELICITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEDGE FRONT...WHEREVER IT SETS UP...MAY PROVIDE FOR AN INTERESTING SITUATION AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES MONDAY MORNING. ECMWFS TIMING WOULD IMPLY INCREASED INSTABILITY WITH THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER EASTWARD PROGRESSION...BUT BOTH MODELS ARE INDICATING A LOT OF PRECIP IN THE NORTHERN GULF/FLORIDA PANHANDLE...WHICH MAY SERVE TO CUT OFF THE DOWNSTREAM PRECIPITATION (THAT IS...US). IN ANY EVENT...IT COULD BE A POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER PRODUCER ALONG THE WEDGE FRONT...OR SIMPLY A RAIN-MAKER WITH THE COOL OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION. GFS MOVES US INTO A NEAR-ZONAL FLOW PATTERN BY MIDWEEK AS THE UPPER LOW SHIFTS NORTHEAST TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES...WHEREAS THE ECMWF KEEPS THE UPPER LOW FURTHER SOUTH (OHIO VALLEY) WITH A DEEPER TROUGH AND PRECIP LINGERING. SHOULD HAVE A LULL FOR A DAY OR SO BEFORE THE NEXT LOW IN THE VERY PROGRESSIVE SERIES OF SYSTEMS APPROACHES. CONFIDENCE EXTREMELY LOW THIS FAR OUT AS GFS HAS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CONVECTIVE PRECIP (WITH A LOT OF FEEDBACK) ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THURSDAY MORNING WHILE ECMWF IS STILL IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. HAVE TAKEN A COMPROMISE ON THE TIMING AND HAVE KEPT POPS TO AT MOST LOW CHANCE. && .AVIATION... LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS NORTHWEST GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON...ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHING ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION. CURRENT MOVEMENT AND SPEED SHOULD PUT THE LINE IN THE METRO ATL AREA 23Z-01Z TIME FRAME. LOW VFR TO MVFR CIGS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DOMINATE TAF SITES THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH VSBYS GENERALLY 6+...EXCEPT BRIEFLY LOWERING IN THE IFR RANGE IN THUNDERSTORMS. LOOK FOR WIDESPREAD CIGS IN THE 1 TO 2 THSD FT RANGE LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING...THEN CIGS LIFTING INTO 25 TO 35 HUNDRED RANGE MOST PLACES BY LATE MORNING.

A STRONG SPRING STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY REGION DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THIS SYSTEM WILL DRAG A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA DURING THE EVENING AND EARLY MORNING HOURS. .PRIMARY HAZARDS... THE PRIMARY HAZARDS WILL BE CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. .DISCUSSION... INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM WILL SERVE TO INCREASE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITIES OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVE INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL RAPIDLY DESTABILIZE. CAPES WILL INCREASE TO 1200 TO 1800 AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WITH LIFTED INDEX VALUES DECREASING TO AROUND -5. THE GREATEST THREAT OF STRONG STORMS WILL OCCUR BETWEEN THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND LATE EVENING HOURS. AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES NORTHWEST GEORGIA BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON....STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL LIKELY BECOME MORE NUMEROUS...SPREADING EASTWARD ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA DURING THE EVENING HOURS. ALTHOUGH THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER EXISTS ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE....THE GREATER LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WILL BE GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM LA GRANGE TO MILLEDGEVILLE...WHERE MORE FAVORABLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND TEMPERATURE PROFILES WILL OCCUR. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL GREATLY DIMINISH AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...AND AGAIN THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTERS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR ACTIVATION ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
