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 Apr 22, 7:25 AM EDT, 1 hour 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 22, 7:25 AM EDT, 1 hour 13 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
725 AM EDT WED APR 22 2015

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 335 AM EDT WED APR 22 2015/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

SHORT TERM BEGINS WITH HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING IN CONTROL OF THE
LOCAL WEATHER WITH ITS CENTER ALONG THE GULF COAST AND LIGHT
SOUTHWEST RETURN FLOW JUST OFF THE SURFACE. UPSTREAM...NEXT
FRONTAL SYSTEM NOTED FROM SW OHIO THROUGH SOUTHERN INDIANA AND
MISSOURI WITH SPORADIC CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING ALONG
THIS FEATURE.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO PUSH INTO NORTHERN GA BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED BUT
THERE IS SOME EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE ENERGY IN MEAN FLOW TO ALLOW FOR
PRECIP GENERATION LATER TODAY. COVERAGE WILL BE LARGELY DEPENDENT
UPON HOW CONVECTIVE IN NATURE LINE BECOMES WITH THE HEATING OF THE
DAY. NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT WITH EVEN MUCAPE STRUGGLING TO
GET UP TO 750 J/KG. THERE IS SOME 50 TO 60 KTS SFC TO 500 MB BULK
SHEAR AND STRONG MID LEVEL FLOW FOR PARTICLE SEPARATION SO IF
STORMS CAN GET GOING...HAIL WILL BE OF A CONCERN GIVEN -18C 500MB
TEMPS. MARGINAL WIND THREAT WOULD ALSO EXIST WITH THIS AND
SITUATION WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY AS TEMPS WILL LIKELY
GET HIGHER THAN MODEL PROJECTIONS...THUS POTENTIALLY DRIVING UP
CAPE VALUES.

FRONT SAGS INTO THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM WITH
REMAINDER OF FORECAST DEPENDENT ON PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF
EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE IMPULSES. LOOKS TO BE CONFINED TO ATLANTA AND
POINTS SOUTHWARD FOR THURSDAY AS MORE STABLE AIR PUSHES INTO THE
NORTH. CAPE VALUES ACTUALLY NOT AS HIGH OVER CENTRAL GEORGIA THU
AFTERNOON AS THEY ARE PROGGED TODAY FOR NORTH GA. STILL
THOUGH...EXPECT AT LEAST ISOLATED TSRA DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH HIGH
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BACK UP TO 1.5
INCHES.

DEESE

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE BECOME A BIT MORE CONSISTENT...BOTH RUN-TO-
RUN AND AMONGST EACH OTHER...THROUGH THE WEEKEND AT LEAST. EXTENDED
FORECAST PERIOD STARTS OUT DRY AND MILD IN THE WAKE OF THE MID-WEEK
SYSTEM. GFS AND ECMWF NOW MUCH BETTER ALIGNED BRINGING PRECIPITATION
BACK INTO THE REGION BY LATE FRIDAY WITH THE BEST CHANCES SATURDAY/
SATURDAY NIGHT AS A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES SWEEP THROUGH AND AN
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW/COLD FRONT MOVE ACROSS REGION. INSTABILITY IS
NOT FORECAST TO BE ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE...BUT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR
AT LEAST ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDER WITH THIS SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH
THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS MINIMAL DUE TO LIMITED INSTABILITY...
STRONG LOW/MID-LEVEL WINDS SATURDAY BEAR WATCHING. A BIT OF A DRY
PERIOD SUNDAY BEHIND THIS SYSTEM WITH SEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD THE GFS AND THE
ECMWF DIVERGE QUITE A BIT. BOTH INDICATE THE PERIOD WILL BE
UNSETTLED...BUT BOTH ALSO APPEAR TO BE SOMEWHAT OVER-AMPLIFIED AND
MORE THAN A LITTLE BIZARRE FOR THIS LATE IN THE SEASON. I BELIEVE ITS
PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP THE POPS AND TEMPERATURES A BIT MORE
GENERIC AND NOT SO EXTREME UNTIL THE MODELS HOPEFULLY SETTLE DOWN A
BIT ON LATER RUNS.

.AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE... VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS

ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. CLOUD DECK TO LOWER BY 06Z THU FOR ATL WITH
INTRODUCTION OF BKN060 IN THE TAF AS WELL AS PROB30 FOR SHRA.
WINDS TO REMAIN ON THE WEST SIDE WITH LOW END GUSTS TODAY.
