$$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 May 30, 3:25 PM EDT, 2 hours 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 30, 3:25 PM EDT, 2 hours 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 325 PM EDT FRI MAY 30 2014 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... MAINTAINING A MOSTLY PERSISTENCE FORECAST THROUGH TONIGHT WITH SOME TWEAKS AS THE 500MB LOW DRIFTS S OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THIS IS KEEPING GULF MOISTURE OVER THE FORECAST AREA WITH AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...AND DIMINISHING/DISSIPATING WITH THE LOSS OF DAY TIME HEATING. A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE INTO/ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT AND SHOULD HELP TO INITIATE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH INCREASING DIURNAL INSTABILITY. RATHER STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES TO THE EASTERN SEABOARD SATURDAY NIGHT AND HELPS TO KEEP RATHER DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE FORECAST AREA IN THE EAST LOW LEVEL FLOW. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH SATURDAY EVENING BUT MAY NOT COMPLETELY DISSIPATE WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE STILL FORECAST OVER MUCH OF THE CWA. FORECAST LOW TEMPERATURES RUNNING 2-5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL TONIGHT AND STAYED CLOSE TO PERSISTENCE FROM LAST NIGHT. FORECAST LOW TEMPERATURES RUNNING A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AS WELL. FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES RUNNING CLOSE TO NORMAL FOR SATURDAY USING A BIAS ADJUSTED MODEL BLEND. OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM. BDL .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... THE EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS WITH A SURFACE WEDGE NOSING INTO GA FROM THE NORTHEAST UNDERNEATH GENERAL RIDGING ALOFT..ALBEIT WEAK. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH A FEW SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE SUNDAY...WEST OF I75 AND NEAR THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE WEDGE. BY MONDAY...THE SURFACE RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED DRIER AIR PUSHES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE REGION RESULTING IN VERY LOW END RAIN CHANCES ON MONDAY. DEWPOINTS AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE NOTICEABLY COOLER ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY RUNNING 3 TO 5 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S. BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MOST OF THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES ARE GONE AS UPPER RIDGING DEVELOPS OVER TEXAS AND WE FALL INTO THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THAT RIDGE WITH A GENERAL NORTH OR NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. MODELS ARE NOT TOO CRAZY ABOUT WIDESPREAD CONVECTION TUES THROUGH THURS BUT THE PATTERN WOULD ALLOW A GENERAL RETURN OF TYPICAL SUMMERTIME CONVETION POSSIBLY ENHANCED BY GULF COAST AND OR ATLANTIC SEABREEZES. BY DAY 7..THE ECMWF AND GFS DIVERGE IN THE EVOLUTION OF UPPER RIDGING OFF THE EAST COAST WITH THE ECMWF SHIFTING THE TEXAS RIDGE EAST. THE GFS HOLDS IT BACK FURTHER WEST. FOR NOW...WILL SIMPLY MAINTAIN LOW END PRECIP CHANCES FOR THE LATE PERIOD WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS. STELLMAN && AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED EXCEPT IN THUNDERSTORMS.
