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 Jul 15, 1:35 PM EDT, 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 1:35 PM EDT, 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
135 PM EDT TUE JUL 15 2014

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
STRONG UPPER CLOSED LOW TRACKING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION WILL
PUSH A FRONT INTO THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS...WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH AND
CENTRAL GA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY ACROSS NORTH AND
WEST GA WERE DIMINISHING...BUT EXPECT MORE DEVELOPMENT WITH HEATING
OF THE DAY AND AS THE FRONT GETS CLOSER. A FEW STORMS MAY BECOME
STRONG THIS AFTERNOON WITH DAMAGING WINDS. POSSIBLE TRAINING OF THE
STORMS COULD CAUSE MINOR FLOODING. DEEPENING OF UPPER TROUGH SHOULD
PUSH THE FRONT INTO CENTRAL GA TONIGHT. MODELS AGREE ON SHOWING MORE
STABLE AIR SPREADING INTO NORTH GA AFTER 00Z. MUCH DRIER DEW POINTS
ACROSS THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY SHOULD KEEP US DRY. HOWEVER...HAVE
CONTINUED WITH LOW POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES
WEDNESDAY DUE TO SOME LINGERING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY.

HAVE STAYED CLOSE TO A GUIDANCE BLEND OF TEMPERATURES.

41

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
RIDICULOUSLY PLEASANT CONDITIONS FOR MID-JULY IN THE WAKE OF THE
COLD FRONT AS WE START THE EXTENDED...THOUGH I DOUBT ANYONE IS
COMPLAINING. LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL ACTUALLY BE FLIRTING WITH
RECORD COLD TEMPS...ONLY A COUPLE OF DEGREES OFF. HIGHS ON
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH LOW HUMIDITY
AND JUST VERY NICE.

ALOFT...WE ARE LEFT IN SOUTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE EXITING UPPER
SYSTEM AND BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DIPPING
DOWN INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL BRING ANOTHER SLUG OF MOISTURE
TO THE SOUTHEAST. GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
THIS AND ACTUALLY LINGER THE UPPER SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE
PATTERN BECOMES BLOCKED. PW VALUES REMAIN PRETTY HIGH THROUGH THE
EXTENDED...TRANSITIONING MAINLY TO SOUTHERN ZONES BY THE END OF
THE PERIOD...AT OVER 2 INCHES WHICH FOR JULY IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
THE 75TH AND 99TH PERCENTILES CLIMATOLOGICALLY. ADD TO THIS THE
TYPICAL DIURNAL TREND OF CAPE AND WE COULD SEE SOME REAL GULLY
WASHERS HERE AND THERE. FOR NOW POPS ARE NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH
THOUGH DID CONTINUE TREND OF LIKELY POPS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...BUT THINKING RIGHT NOW THAT WE WILL LIKELY SEE THOSE
INCREASED AS WE GET CLOSER.

FOR NOW...TEMPS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW-NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD
ESPECIALLY SATURDAY WITH CLOUD COVER AND RAIN. BIAS-CORRECTED
CONSENSUS VALUES WHICH ACTUALLY VERIFY PRETTY DARN WELL GIVE ATL A
HIGH OF 80 FOR SATURDAY...HAVE NOT GONE QUITE THAT LOW BUT HAVE
TRENDED LOWER THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST.

.AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
MOST AREAS HAVE IMPROVED TO VFR...OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...AND I
EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THROUGH 06Z...ENDING
FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST 00Z THROUGH 06Z. WINDS WILL REMAIN WEST
TO NORTHWEST 7-10KT WITH GUSTS 14-20KTS. WINDS WILL OF COURSE BE
VARIABLE AND STRONGER IN THE VICINITY OF CONVECTION.
