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 Nov 2, 4:35 PM EST, 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 2, 4:35 PM EST, 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
435 PM EST MON NOV 2 2015

.UPDATE...
MAINLY UPDATED TO DROP THE FLOOD WATCH FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE
CWFA. OTHERWISE...NO CHANGES.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 400 PM EST MON NOV 2 2015/

UPDATE...
THE STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE STATE AND WAS
ABLE TO REMOVE A FEW COUNTIES IN OUR SOUTHEASTERN CWA OUT OF THE
WATCH. THERE ARE STILL MULTIPLE COUNTIES REMAINING IN THE WATCH
WHICH CONTINUES TO 00Z. CONDITIONS ARE STILL FAVORABLE FOR AN
ISOLATED TORNADO TO DEVELOP IN THAT AREA. AS THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES
TO MOVE EAST WE WILL BE ABLE TO REMOVE MORE COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 239 PM EST MON NOV 2 2015/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...

WEAK LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO LIFT SLOWLY NORTHEAST WITH A BROAD
CENTER NOTED FROM THE WESTERN MOST PANHANDLE OF FLORIDA THROUGH
MONTGOMERY AND INTO PORTIONS OF NW AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA. THIS
CONTINUES TO LEAD TO TWO DISTINCTLY OPPOSED AIRMASS MAKEUPS WITH
RELATIVELY COOL CONDITIONS TO THE NORTH AND  INCREASINGLY WARM
AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS TO THE SOUTH. IN FACT...OVER SE PORTIONS
OF THE AREA...SEEING SOME LOWER AND EVEN MID 80S DEVELOP WITH VERY
MOIST CONDITIONS EVIDENT BY DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.
THIS HAS ALLOWED FOR CAPE VALUES TO INCREASE TO NEAR 2000 J/KG
ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS ACTIVITY WHILE LOW LEVEL HELICITY
VALUES REMAIN MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO PRODUCE ISOLATED TORNADOES.
TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THIS AREA THROUGH 7 PM TONIGHT.

LATEST SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IS SHOWING ENHANCED CAPE FIELDS HOLDING
ON A LITTLE LONGER THAN FIRST THOUGH THIS EVENING WITH 1000 J/KG
MAINTAINING OVER EXTREME SE SECTIONS THROUGH 03Z. FOR THIS REASON
WILL NEED TO MONITOR EVOLUTION OF SEVERE THREAT FOR THESE SE
COUNTIES BASED ON THIS NEW TIMING. COULD VERY WELL WORK OUT THOUGH
AS MAIN BAND MAY STABILIZE THOSE REMAINING COUNTIES JUST AS THE
WATCH IS EXPIRING.

REGARDLESS...POPS WILL BE HIGH FOR THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE
FORECAST AREA AND WILL MAINTAIN CATEGORICAL POPS THROUGH 00Z AND
LIKELY POPS THROUGH 06Z. THEREAFTER WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOG AND
DRIZZLE POTENTIAL AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS QUITE PLENTIFUL
OVER THE AREA. EXPECT AREAS OF FOG TO DEVELOP BUT MORE UNCERTAINTY
ON DENSE FOG POTENTIAL. WITH THE AMOUNT OF RAIN OVER THE AREA THE
LAST 72 HOURS...NOT HARD TO SEE A SCENARIO FOR WIDESPREAD DENSE
FOG AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE DENSE FOG ADVISORY.

OTHERWISE...UPPER TROUGH NEVER COMPLETELY MOVES THROUGH THE AREA
SO WE WILL BE LEFT WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LOW END
RAIN CHANCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.

DEESE

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

LINGERING LOW LEVEL GULF/ATLANTIC MOISTURE ADVECTION INTO MIDWEEK
SHOULD ALLOW FOR SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCE OF MAINLY LIGHT RAIN OR
DRIZZLE ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA DRIVEN BY ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE
AGAINST A HYBRID CAD WEDGE. WEAKENING WEDGE BY THURSDAY SO HAVE
MOSTLY DRY. NEXT MAIN SYSTEM IS COMING INTO SOME BETTER CONSENSUS
AMONG MODEL SOLUTIONS WITH A LESS PROGRESSIVE FRONTAL SYSTEM FROM
THE NW. STILL GETTING PRETTY ELONGATED IN THE MOISTURE FIELD AND
REMOVED FROM GOOD DYNAMICS. THE FRONT SHOULD SLOWLY DRAG
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA LATE FRIDAY INTO POSSIBLY SUNDAY SO
HAVE TRENDED MAINLY HIGHER CHANCE POPS ACCORDINGLY AND LINGER POPS
AT END OF PERIOD BASED ON PREVIOUS INCONSISTENCIES IN TIMING.
PROGGED INSTABILITY IS RATHER MODEST BUT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE SLIGHT
CHANCE THUNDER. TEMPS THROUGH FRIDAY SHOULD BE ABOVE NORMS WITH
MANY AREAS HAVING HIGHS OF LOW TO MID 70S THEN COOLING BACK DOWN
BY SATURDAY NIGHT BEHIND AFOREMENTIONED FRONT.

BAKER

HYDROLOGY...AREAS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GA HAVE ALREADY HAD RECENT
RAINFALL OF 3 TO 6 INCHES...AND PORTIONS OF THE SE MAY SEE AN
ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INTO THIS EVENING AS ABNORMALLY EFFICIENT GULF
MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTHEASTWARD. TRAINING CELLS MORE
CONVECTIVE IN NATURE MAY END UP DROPPING LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF
RAINFALL  LATER TODAY WITH AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
INTERACTIONS ALONG A LIFTING WARM/WEDGE FRONT.

AVIATION...
18Z UPDATE...
BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR THAT WAS GENERATED LARGELY BY THE FACT THAT
SHRA ACTIVITY WAS ABLE TO DISPERSE THE CIGS HAS SINCE ABATED. WHAT
WE ARE LEFT WITH IS PRETTY MUCH ALL IFR OVER THE NORTHERN MOST TAF
SITES WITH PERIODS OF -DZ AS WELL. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE
FOR THE ENTIRE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH SOME LIFR AND EVEN VLIFR
POSSIBLE BY TUE MORNING. EXCEPTION WILL BE OVER MCN WHERE TSRA
WILL BE POSSIBLE AND WILL INCLUDE A TEMPO THERE FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS. EVENTUALLY THOUGH...LIFR WILL TAKE HOLD THERE AS
WELL WITH NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY TUE.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM ON TSRA POTENTIAL AND TIMING OF LIFR.
HIGH ON REMAINING ELEMENTS.
