The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 10, 4:08 PM EDT, 1 hour 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 4:08 PM EDT, 1 hour 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
408 PM EDT SUN JUL 10 2011

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
SIMILAR SITUATION AS YESTERDAY WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE CWA. BOUNDARY THAT HAS BEEN DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA FOR
THE PAST FEW DAYS IS SITUATED OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA. STORMS HAVE
BEEN CONFINED TO SOUTH OF THIS AREA...EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT MOVED
INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA. COULD SEE SOME STRONGER STORMS AGAIN
TODAY...BUT NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF SEVERE. GUSTY WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN THREAT ALONG WITH EXCESSIVE
LIGHTNING.

THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHWARD INTO THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE ON MONDAY. THIS BOUNDARY WILL
CONTINUE TO ENHANCE DIURNAL CONVECTION AND WILL REMAIN THE PRIMARY
FOCUS AREA FOR STORMS. AS THAT WEAK FRONT MOVES TO THE
SOUTH...ANOTHER WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTH GEORGIA. THIS WILL
SHIFT THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION BACK TO THE NORTH FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE SHORT TERM.

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE SHORT TERM CONTINUES TO BE THE HEAT. MAX
TEMPS WILL EVEN INCREASE THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE
CONTINUES TO SHIFT EASTWARD AND IS SITUATED OVER AL/GA ON
TUESDAY. EXPECT TEMPS TO HIT THE CENTURY MARK ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA ON TUESDAY..ALTHOUGH ANY SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP COULD PUT A WRINKLE IN THIS. WILL SEE
SOME HEAT INDICES AROUND 105 TOMORROW AFTERNOON...BUT THESE AREAS
ARE NOT CO-LOCATED WITH THE AREAS WHERE MIN TEMPS WILL BE 75 OR
GREATER FOR TWO NIGHTS. BASED ON THIS...HAVE DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE
A HEAT ADVISORY. DONT LET THIS FOOL YOU THOUGH...IT WILL STILL BE
HOT.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AFOREMENTIONED WEAK FRONT IS PROGGED TO BE ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA
ON WEDNESDAY. TAIL END OF FRONT LINGERS ACROSS GEORGIA INTO THE
WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY REGION ON
THURSDAY AND INTO THE NORTHEAST ON FRIDAY SETTING UP A WEDGE
SITUATION. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE JUST HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT
THOUGH AS ITS UNUSUAL FOR THE SUMMER.

WITH FRONT MOVING IN ON TUESDAY AND LINGERING ACROSS THE CWA...MAY
SEE AN ENHANCEMENT AGAIN OF POPS THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH 06Z...OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION. BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION
WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA...BUT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL LIKELY ACROSS THE NORTH...THROUGH AROUND
03Z. SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD MVFR VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP AGAIN BETWEEN 06Z AND 15Z...WITH LOCAL IFR AND BELOW
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. COULD SEE SOME IFR CEILINGS IN NORTHEAST AND
EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA AGAIN BETWEEN 08Z AND 14Z. WINDS ARE GOING TO
REMAIN A PROBLEM. WESTWARD AND SOUTHWARD PUSH OF THE EASTERLY
WINDS WAS A BIT MORE EXTENSIVE THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT...AND THE
PERSISTENCE HAS BEEN HIGHER AS WELL. MOS WINDS ARE ONCE AGAIN
TRYING TO KEEP WINDS WEST THROUGH THE BULK OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD...BUT I BELIEVE WE WILL SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SOUTHWEST
WINDS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS ATLANTA METRO TAF SITES WITH A RETURN
TO SOUTHEAST BY 02Z. KAHN SHOULD REMAIN EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT
WITH KMCN AND KCSG REMAINING PREDOMINATELY WESTERLY.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM TO HIGH ALL ELEMENTS...EXCEPT WIND WHICH REMAINS MEDIUM AT
BEST.
