What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at May 4, 3:48 PM EDT, 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 4, 3:48 PM EDT, 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
348 PM EDT TUE MAY 4 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH THAT CREATED SO MUCH HAVOC ACROSS THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN U.S. THE PAST FEW DAYS IN THE FORM OF SEVERE WEATHER AND
FLOODING IS RAPIDLY PHASING OUT ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD AS IT
MOVES TOWARD THE MEAN WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE. ONE FINAL...RATHER
ANOMALOUS YET VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE...MOVING RAPIDLY FROM THE
MID-SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. FINAL KICKER TO THE OVERALL
SYSTEM...TAKING REMNANT SE GA/SE COASTAL SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY WITH IT.
FOLLOWING THIS...A SIGNIFICANT PATTERN CHANGE TO THE LARGE SCALE
FLOW IS OCCURRING ACROSS THE U.S. A FAST ZONAL FLOW WILL
EVOLVE...WITH THE MAIN STORM TRACK...JET STREAM...RELOCATING TO THE
NORTHERN STATES...GENERALLY ALONG 40 DEG. LAT. THIS PATTERN WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE OR UNTIL NEXT
WEEK...WHEN LONG RANGE MODELS ADVERTISE A RETURN TO A HIGHER
AMPLITUDE WESTERN U.S. TROUGH...EASTERN U.S. RIDGE SCENARIO.
TRANQUIL WEATHER WILL DOMINATE MUCH OF THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.

19
&&

.SHORT TERM...
VIGOROUS COMPACT SHORT WAVE MOVING RAPIDLY FROM THE MID-SOUTH INTO
THE SE U.S. WILL TAKE THE FINAL AREA OF SHRA/TSRA ACROSS SE GA WITH
IT. TAIL END OF MID-ATLANTIC JET STREAK WILL SIMULTANEOUSLY LIFT OUT
INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC. BACK EDGE OF SHORT WAVE EVIDENT BY A SMALL
BAND OF MID-LEVEL AC EXTENDING FROM AHN-ATL-CSG AT THIS HOUR. THIS
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE ENTIRELY EAST OF THE CWA BY 00Z...SO WILL
NOT INCLUDE ANY MENTION OF PCPN/POPS IN THE FIRST PERIOD. THE
REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM PERIODS ARE DOMINATED BY A DEEP...DRY
WESTERLY FLOW. MEAN 850-300MB RH OF AIR MASS SPREADING INTO THE
REGION FROM THE WEST NEAR 20 PERCENT. LOW-LEVEL RESIDUAL
MOISTURE...WET GROUND FROM RECENT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL...SFC
DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S...ALONG WITH GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL
ALLOW FOR PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SE HALF OF
THE CWA...WHERE SFC MOISTURE IS SOMEWHAT DEEPER. CONDITIONAL
INSTABILITY IS HIGH WED-THU...BUT STRONG NVA AND WEAK RIDGING ALOFT
JUST TO THE NW...SO POPS WILL BE LEFT NIL. THE EFFECTS OF AN UPPER
SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW/TROUGH TRACKING ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND/SE CANADA THU...WILL HAVE LITTLE TO NO IMPACT SOUTH OF WV.
INCREASED RIDGING ALOFT ALONG WITH THE DRY AIR MASS IN
PLACE...MAXIMUM INSOLATION...AND GENERAL DOWNSLOPE WESTERLY FLOW
WILL RESULT IN MAX TEMPS AOA AVERAGE NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH MIN TEMPS
SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO NORMAL. CONSIDERABLE DISCREPANCY NOTED BETWEEN
THE MAV/MET MOS MAX TEMPS FOR WED...WITH THE MAV NOTABLY WARMER. MIN
TEMP AND DAY 2 MAX TEMPS IN MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT...SO LITTLE
ADJUSTMENT NEEDED.

.LONG TERM...
ANOTHER NORTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE WILL TRACK RAPIDLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN STATES FRI-SAT. A STRONG SFC LOW IS EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY
THIS KINEMATIC SYSTEM THROUGH THE NE U.S. SLIGHT AMPLIFICATION OF
THE UPPER FLOW IS NOTED AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE SOUTH
CENTRAL U.S. THIS WILL HELP DEEPEN BROAD TROUGHING ACROSS THE
EASTERN U.S. CONSEQUENTLY...1030MB HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE
CENTRAL U.S. WILL HELP PUSH THE ASSOCIATED NE U.S. ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT INTO THE SE LATE FRI/FRI NIGHT. DEEP LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS
SCANT...BUT DEEP SFC MOISTURE IS SCANT. HOWEVER...PROGGED
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR CHC TSRA ALONG THE
FRONT...BEGINNING NW GA FRI EVE...ACROSS N GA FRI NIGHT...AND INTO
SE GA SAT AFTERNOON...WHEN CONSIDERABLE INSTABILITY IS NOTED. THE
REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM APPEARS RELATIVELY QUIET. ECMWF/GFS
CONSISTENT IN ADVERTISING A GENERAL RETURN TO A HIGH AMPLITUDE
WESTERN U.S. TROUGH/CENTRAL-EASTERN U.S. RIDGE. THE CWA GENERALLY
REMAINS IN WEAK NW FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE ECMWF
INDICATES A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. NEXT
WEEK...BLOCKING ANY EFFECTS OF THE WESTERN U.S. TROUGH AS IT KEEPS
THE RIDGE AXIS ALIGNED NEAR THE MS RIVER. THIS VEERS THE FLOW ALOFT
STRONGLY ENOUGH TO THE NNW...THAT A SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE OH
VALLEY TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC MAY BE ABLE TO AFFECT THE CWA.
MEANWHILE...THE GFS ADVERTISES A WARM ADVECTION BAROCLINIC ZONE AND
ASSOCIATED PCPN DEVELOPING FROM THE MID-WEST INTO THE SE U.S. TUE.
ENOUGH MODEL CONSENSUS TO ADVERTISE LOW POPS FOR TUE...BUT WILL KEEP
THE REMAINING EXTENDED PERIODS DRY WITH THIS PACKAGE.

A COOLER...BUT MORE NOTABLY A DRIER AIR MASS WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE
CWA AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE SAT. OTHERWISE...SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED. NO APPRECIABLE AIR
MASS CHANGE IS EXPECTED WITH THE PREDOMINATE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT.

19
&&

.FIRE WX...
SFC DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 50 ACROSS THE CWA.
THUS...EVEN WITH MAX TEMPS APPROACHING 90 IN SOME AREAS...CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH THU.
