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.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 2, 12:36 AM EST, 1 hour 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

1236 AM EST WED DEC 2 2015

.UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR THE 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 633 PM EST TUE DEC 1 2015/

UPDATE...
RAIN SHIELD IS ROUGHLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 85. HI-RES
MODELS KEEP THE RAIN SHIELD NEARLY STATIONARY OVERNIGHT. IT REALLY
DOESN'T BEGIN TO KICK OUT UNTIL SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. HAVE TWEAKED POPS A
BIT...ACCORDING TO CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND HI-RES MODEL TRENDS.

WEDGE IS BUILDING SOUTHWESTWARD...BRINGING LOW CIGS AND FOG. HAVE
HELD ONTO THE SE WINDS A LITTLE LONGER THAN THE MODELS HAVE
PROGGED. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE A GREAT HANDLE ON THE WEDGE AND WHEN
IT WILL ERODE.

ALSO...HAVE TWEAKED HOURLY TEMP/DEW GRIDS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 236 PM EST TUE DEC 1 2015/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF NORTH GA THRU 7PM
WEDNESDAY. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

ACTIVE/SOGGY SHORT TERM IN STORE. STRONG...NEARLY STACKED...CLOSED
LOW OVER THE MIDWEST WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PUSHING A COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE SHORT TERM. RADAR IMAGERY REVEALS A BROAD
SWATH OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...SOME
OF WHICH HAS BEEN AFFECTING FAR N GA FOR MOST OF THE DAY ALREADY.
RADAR TRENDS ALSO SHOWING PRECIP FILLING IN ACROSS ALABAMA...AS
CONSTANT FLUX OF TROPICAL PACIFIC MOISTURE AIDS IN ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. WITH INCREASING JET SUPPORT AND MID
LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS...RAIN WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN ITSELF THRU THE
PERIOD. CHANCES WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE FROM NW TO SE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH ONE MORE NIGHT OF MILD LOW TEMPERATURES. MINIMAL
INSTABILITY WILL KEEP THUNDER OUT OF THE FORECAST.

COLD FRONT/RAIN SHIELD WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE SOUTH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES OVERNIGHT WILL BE ACROSS NORTH
GA...INCLUDING THE ATL METRO. MODELS INDICATE A WEAK SFC LOW AND
ENHANCED MID LEVEL MOISTURE PLUME DEVELOPING IN THE NORTHERN GULF ON
WEDNESDAY...SENDING A SECONDARY SURGE OF PRECIP ACROSS THE STATE.
THIS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA WHERE IT WILL
MERGE WITH THE COLD FRONT.

RAIN WILL END FROM NW TO SE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND SHOULD BE
OUT OF OUR HAIR BY 06Z THURS. SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY CLEAR THINGS OUT AND BRING PLEASANT...ALBEIT
COOLER... WEATHER TO THE AREA GOING INTO THE LONG TERM.

KOVACIK

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ONLY TWEAKS TO THE LONG TERM BASED ON THE LASTEST GUIDANCE.
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND EUROPEAN
AFTER SUNDAY WITH THE GFS MUCH WETTER.

BDL

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY EVENING WILL BE CONFINED TO THE SOUTHEASTERN
THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND SHOULD BE ENDING FAIRLY QUICKLY EVEN
THERE. PRIMARY MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE CONTINUED THE DRY TREND FROM
THURSDAY THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THIS EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...AND
I HAVE WITHDRAWN THE LOW-SCALE POPS WE HAVE BEEN CARRYING THURSDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. GFS AND ECMWF REMAIN FAIRLY SIMILAR CONCERNING
THE SURFACE PATTERN THROUGH THIS FORECAST WITH A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER AND DOMINATING THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE
COUNTRY. THE LARGER SCALE NATURE OF THE UPPER PATTERN IS SIMILAR
BETWEEN THEM AS WELL...BUT THE FINER DETAILS REMAIN CHAOTIC. BOTH ARE
INDICATING THAT ENOUGH MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE REGION AS THE SURFACE
RIDGE WEAKENS EARLY NEXT WEEK...ALLOWING LOW POPS TO CREEP BACK INTO
THE PICTURE.

20

HYDROLOGY...
THE MAIN WEATHER FOCUS WILL BE THE SLOW MOVING COLD
FRONT MOVING THROUGH NORTH GA TONIGHT. A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES WILL PASS OVER AND PARALLEL TO THE FRONT. THIS PATTERN
COMBINED WITH OROGRAPHIC LIFT AND TRAINING ECHOES WILL PRODUCE
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN OVER PORTIONS OF NORTH GA THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

WPC QPF AROUND TWO INCHES TENDS TO BLEND THE MAJOR SYNOPTIC AND
HI- RES MODEL 24HR QPF THROUGH 00Z THU. ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS
NEAR THREE INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE RIDGELINES OF NORTH GA.
HAVE ACCEPTED THE COMPROMISE OF AMOUNTS AND HEAVY RAIN LOCATIONS
AS FAR SOUTH AS NORTH FULTON AND DEKALB COUNTIES. STILL LOOKING
FOR AROUND 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN TO CAUSE THE BIG CREEK TO REACH
FLOOD STAGE FROM CUMMING TO ALPHARETTA. CONTINUE TO EXPECT
LOCALIZED STREET FLOODING DUE TO CLOGGED DRAINS FROM LEAF DEBRIS.
SEVERAL OTHER NORTHWEST GA CREEK AND RIVER FORECAST POINTS WILL
REACH OR EXCEED FLOOD STAGE BY A FOOT OR TWO.

.AVIATION...
06Z UPDATE...
A MIX OF VFR/MVFR/IFR CIGS WILL BECOMING IFR/MVFR OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS AS THE RAIN AREA SLOWLY SINKS SOUTH. THE RAIN WILL END
FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND AS IT DOES CIGS WILL BECOME
VFR. ALL SITES SHOULD BE VFR BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE
ALREADY BECOMING SOUTHSOUTHEAST AND AS THE COLD FRONT GETS
CLOSER...WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST EARLY THIS MORNING AND THEN
WEST LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN LESS
THAN 10 KTS.
