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 Feb 6, 3:16 AM EST, 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 3:16 AM EST, 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
316 AM EST SAT FEB 6 2010

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
PLENTY OF MOISTURE CONTINUES TO ROTATE AROUND THE LARGE...COMPLEX LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND MID ATLANTIC STATES.
FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN IN THE PATH OF THE MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND
THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS SYSTEM. NOT A LOT OF STRONG ADVECTION
OF COLDER OR DRIER AIR ACROSS THE REGION AT THIS TIME AND
TEMPERATURES REMAIN RELATIVELY MILD FOR A POST FRONTAL...WRAP AROUND
ENVIRONMENT OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS MORNING. MIXTURE OF
PATCHY DRIZZLE AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS THIS MORNING SHOULD
BEGIN TO TAPER OFF THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LIFTS EAST NORTHEAST
AWAY FROM THE REGION. I EXPECT ALL PRECIPITATION TO END OVER MY
FORECAST AREA BY SUNDOWN. TEMPERATURES APPEAR WARM ENOUGH THROUGH
THAT PERIOD FOR NO WINTRY MIX ISSUES.

DRYING NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW AND BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE
SHOULD KEEP THE AREA PRECIPITATION FREE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD WITH SEASONABLY COOL NIGHTS AND MILD DAYS.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD REMAINS ACTIVE AS THE PROGRESSIVE UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN PERSISTS. LARGE SCALE PATTERN IS SOMEWHAT STATIC...BUT
A SEEMINGLY UNENDING SERIES OF SMALLER SCALE FEATURES CONTINUE TO
SWEEP THROUGH THE PATTERN. SERIES OF WEAK TO MODERATE STRENGTH SHORT
WAVES IN THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THIS FLOW FORECAST TO DIG INTO THE
EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN U.S. AND SWEEP EAST ONTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
GFS HAS THE FIRST OF THESE SYSTEMS PHASING WITH A DEEPER CLOSED LOW
IN THE NORTHERN BRANCH MONDAY. THIS SWEEPS THE MAJORITY OF THE UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY NORTH OF GEORGIA...BUT THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW OVER
THE OHIO VALLEY DOES PUSH A DECENT COLD FRONT THROUGH THE STATE
TUESDAY. SUFFICIENT MOISTURE SHOULD BE DRAWN UP AHEAD OF THIS FRONT
FOR A GOOD CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION LATE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. NEXT
SYSTEM IS A LITTLE TRICKIER AS THE PAST COUPLE OF 00Z GFS RUNS HAVE
KEPT THIS WEAK SHORT WAVE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO AVOID CAPTURE BY THE
STRONGER NORTHERN BRANCH. GFS KEEPS THIS SYSTEM IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
WITH THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION STILL
FAIRLY QUESTIONABLE. TO MAKE THINGS EVEN MORE UNCERTAIN...LATEST 00Z
RUN OF THE ECMWF DAMPENS OUT THIS SOUTHERN BRANCH WAVE AND DOES NOT
EVEN GENERATE A SURFACE LOW...KEEPING HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE FROM THE
GREAT LAKES INTO FLORIDA. NEEDLESS TO SAY CONFIDENCE QUITE LOW FOR
THE LATTER HALF OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD AT THIS TIME.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SEVERAL STREAMS AND RIVERS ARE BACK UP ABOVE FLOOD STAGE AFTER THE
LATEST ROUND OF PRECIPITATION. DRY COUPLE OF DAYS HEADED THIS WAY
SHOULD ALLOW SMALLER SYSTEMS TO BEGIN FALLING. MAY HAVE A FEW OF THE
LARGER RIVERS STILL AT OR NEAR FLOOD STAGE WHEN THE NEXT ROUND OF
RAIN MOVES IN LATE MONDAY AND TUESDAY...AND SOILS WILL REMAIN
SATURATED OR NEAR SATURATED ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. SYSTEM COMING
THROUGH TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE A QUICKER SHOT OF RAIN WITH CURRENT
FORECAST AMOUNTS AROUND AN INCH OR LESS. THIS WOULD KEEP NEW FLOOD
POTENTIAL AT A MINIMUM...BUT IT WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH MORE RAIN FOR A
FEW PROBLEMS TO CROP UP. WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE SITUATION.
