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 18, 8:37 PM EST, 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 18, 8:37 PM EST, 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
837 PM EST WED NOV 18 2015

..TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA
UNTIL THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TONIGHT AND FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT
FOR NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH MID MORNING THURSDAY...

.UPDATE...
UPDATED WEATHER GRIDS TO INCLUDE AREAS OF FOG DEVELOPING ON BACK
SIDE OF MAIN PRECIP SWATH...FEELING MORE CONFIDENT OF THIS
HAPPENING IN WAKE OF HEAVY RAIN AS SATELLITE OBS UPSTREAM IN WEST
ALABAMA INDICATING A FINE LINE OF CLEARING. SHOULD BE GOOD BET FOR
RADIATIONAL COOLING WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. LEFT OF ANY
DENSE MENTION AT THIS TIME BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR IF POTENTIAL
FOR LOWER VSBYS. ALSO UPDATED TO INCLUDE LATEST TOR WATCH IN EAST
PORTIONS OF AREA INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS THOUGH TRENDS SHOULD
BE ON DIMINISHING SIDE INTO OVERNIGHT. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS...

BAKER

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 239 PM EST WED NOV 18 2015/

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...

SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT...ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG NEGATIVELY
TILTED TROUGH LOCATED OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... IS
CURRENTLY PUSHING EAST ACROSS ALABAMA...WITH SURFACE WARM FRONT
EXTENDING FROM NORTHERN AL SEWD TO THE GEORGIA COAST...PLACING THE
FORECAST AREA IN THE HEART OF THE WARM SECTOR.

WIND ADVISORY AND FLOOD WATCH STILL IN AFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE
CWA.

SQUALL LINE/QLCS CONTINUING TO PUSH ACROSS THE SE THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH THE NORTHWARD EXTENSION AFFECTING PARTS OF NW GA
AT AFD TIME. WILL SEE THIS LINE CONTINUE TO PROGRESS ACROSS THE
CWA FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY INTO TONIGHT.

BIG QUESTION REGARDING THIS SYSTEM IS THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL.
SYNOPTIC ANALYSIS ACROSS THE REGION REVEALS STRONG DIVERGENCE IN THE
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF AN UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK...ASSOCIATED WITH
THE PARENT CYCLONE OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. IN ADDITION...
A SHORTWAVE OVER THE ARKLATEX AREA IS ROUNDING THE BASE OF A LARGER
SCALE TROUGH...WHICH MAY AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WEAK LOW ALONG
THE COLD FRONT. THESE FEATURES WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY SYNOPTIC
SCALE ASCENT TO MAINTAIN THE QLCS INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

IN ADDITION...LATEST REFRESH OF SPC MESOANALYSIS DATA REVEALS VERY
IMPRESSIVE SHEAR AND HELICITY VALUES...WITH 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES
GREATER THAN 40KTS AND 0-3 HELICITY VALUES STANDING NEAR 600M2/S2 IN
SOME LOCATIONS. THESE VALUES FAVOR THE CONTINUED ORGANIZATION OF THE
MULTICELL COMPLEX AS WELL AS A FEW SUPERCELL STRUCTURES.
IMPRESSIVE 0-1KM SHEAR /40KTS/ AND 0-1 HELICITY /300M2S2/ ALSO
SUPPORT THE RISK FOR ROTATION ALONG THE LINE OR WITHIN ANY
DISCRETE DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...INSTABILITY IS SOMEWHAT
LACKLUSTER...WITH SPECIAL 18Z SOUNDING REVEALING JUST UNDER
1000J/KG SBCAPE. THIS WILL KEEP WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER TO A
MINIMUM...THOUGH ANY STRONGER CELLS EMBEDDED WITHIN OR AHEAD OF
THE QLCS COULD GENERATE DAMAGING WINDS AND PERHAPS A FEW ISOLATED
TORNADOES. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO WEAKEN DURING THE EVENING AND
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS BOTH THE KINEMATIC AND THERMODYNAMIC
ENVIRONMENTS BECOMES LESS FAVORABLE FOR QLCS MAINTENANCE.

QLCS TO CLEAR THE AREA OVERNIGHT FROM W TO E. SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY
WILL LIKELY LINGER ACROSS SE ZONES THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. COLD
AIR ADVECTION FILTERING IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL MAKE FOR A DRY
AND RATHER PLEASANT DAY...WITH GRADUAL CLEARING EXPECTED.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MILD BEFORE A REINFORCING COLD FRONT BRINGS
COOLER AIR TO THE AREA THIS WEEKEND.

KOVACIK/ATWELL

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
PREVIOUS LONG TERM LOOKS GOOD. NO CHANGES PLANNED. PREVIOUS LONG
TERM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

17

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

LOOKS TO BE A VERY TRANQUIL LONG TERM PERIOD AND IT STARTS OUT THU
NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN OVER THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE
VALLEYS WHILE COLD FRONT THAT HAD AFFECTED THE AREA MOVES INTO
CENTRAL FLORIDA. HIGH BRIDGES ACROSS NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON PROVIDING MORE OF A MODERATING EASTERLY FLOW
REGIME THAN A COLD NORTH ONE. COMBINED WITH CONTINUED ZONAL FLOW
ALOFT AND WE WILL NOT SEE TEMPS MAKE ALL THAT MUCH OF A CHANGE AND
IN FACT HIGHS ON FRI WILL REMAIN AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
DESPITE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. LIKEWISE...LOWS WILL STRUGGLE TO EVEN
GET INTO THE UPPER 30S OVER NORTH GA WHILE MID 40S WILL BE THE
RULE OVER CENTRAL PORTIONS.

NEXT FRONT IS ON TAP FOR SATURDAY AND WHILE THE GFS HAS BEEN
CONSISTENTLY DRY IN ITS SOLUTION...THE ECMWF HAS BEEN BACK AND
FORTH THE PAST FEW NIGHTS ON HOW MUCH MOISTURE WILL BE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE FRONT. TONIGHTS RUN IS DECIDEDLY DRIER AND VERY CLOSE TO
THE GFS SO WILL SHOW A DRY FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH THIS SYSTEM FOR
THIS GRIDS UPDATE.

DEFINITELY MORE COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT AS STRONG
SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH AND WE SEE A SHORT LIVED BUT SIGNIFICANT
TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING TEMPS DOWN TO BELOW NORMAL
WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING TO GET TO 50 ON SUNDAY AND THE COLDEST AIR
OF THIS SEASON SUNDAY NIGHT WITH WIDESPREAD MID TO UPPER 20S OVER
NORTH GEORGIA. ...WIND ADVISORY NORTH GEORGIA UNTIL 7 PM...
FLOOD WATCH NORTH GEORGIA THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...

.AVIATION...
00 UPDATE...
INITIAL MVFR TO IFR CIGS AND VSBYS AS AREA OF SHRA AND EMBEDDED
POSSIBLE TS PUSHES EAST. STRONGEST CONVECTION BRINGING WIND GUSTS
UP TO 30 KTS SHOULD IMPACT KAHN AND KMCN SHORTLY AFTER 00Z HERE
THEN -SHRA BEHIND AND LOWER WINDS. LLWS WILL CONTINUE UP TO 020
NEAR ATL THRU 03Z WITH 160040KTS AT 020 /POSSIBLY TRANSITIONING
MORE SSW/. POTENTIAL FOR LOWER CIGS/VSBYS IN WAKE OF HEAVY RAIN
FOR EARLY MORNING FOG BUT CONFIDENCE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN TAF FOR
THE MOMENT AND WILL ADDRESS IN FUTURE UPDATES TONIGHT. OTHERWISE
WINDS SHIFTING SOON TO SW AND EVENTUALLY NW FOR THURSDAY NEAR 10
KTS OR LESS AND PERHAPS SOME LOW END GUSTS. SHOULD SCATTER OUT AND
IMPROVE TO VFR GRADUALLY AFTER 11-15Z.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...00Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM TO LOW ON OVERNIGHT CIG/VSBYS.
HIGH ON ALL ELSE.
