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 Feb 23, 10:42 AM EST, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 23, 10:42 AM EST, 1 hour 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
1042 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

.UPDATE...

THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM SO FAR TODAY AS UPPER LEVEL DRY AIR
MOVING IN HAS HELP CURB THE RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA. STILL ON
TRACK FOR LIKELY SEVERE STORMS FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING FOR THE AREA. SOME OF THE NEW MODEL GUIDANCE NOW HAS 110
KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND THIS EXTENDS THROUGH THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA. IN FACT..GIVEN THE SHEAR PARAMETERS AND EXPECTED
INSTABILITY...NOT SURE THERE WILL BE ANY ONE PLACE MORE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO SEVERE STORMS THAN ANOTHER WITH THIS SYSTEM. ALL
AREAS LOOK TO HAVE EQUAL CHANCES AND THOSE CHANCES ARE RELATIVELY
HIGH FOR A WINTER TIME SYSTEM. STILL EXPECT MODE TO BE
PREDOMINANTLY QLCS BUT COULD SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE LINE ALLOWING
FOR MORE OF A SUPERCELL TYPE STRUCTURE FROM TIME TO TIME.

OTHER ISSUES TO BE DEALT WITH THIS AFTERNOON ARE THE NEED FOR A
WIND ADVISORY THIS EVENING THROUGH WED WHICH WILL LIKELY HAPPEN
AND THEN PROSPECTS FOR A WINTER WX ADVISORY LATE WED. THAT ONE IS
A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN AND WE MAY WAIT UNTIL THE MID SHIFT FOR
ISSUANCE ON THAT PRODUCT.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED /

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 346 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016/
MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT AND EARLY ON WEDNESDAY... ALONG WITH
POSSIBLE FLOODING FROM LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.

ALTHOUGH A LULL IN THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAY OCCUR TODAY AS OUR
NEXT STORM SYSTEM DEEPENS OVER TEXAS... DON'T LET THIS LOWER YOUR
GUARD AS COMPUTER MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS
STRONG STORM SYSTEM LIFTING EASTWARD THIS EVENING AND TRACKING
ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL DRAG A STRONG
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA EARLY ON WEDNESDAY WITH WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG AND WELL OUT AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS
UNFOLDING AS STRONG 40-50KT 0-1KM BULK SHEAR AND 400-600 J/KG MUCAPE
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL
STORMS... WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES BEING THE MAIN
THREATS... ALTHOUGH SMALL HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH THE STRONGER
STORMS. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THE INITIAL THREAT WILL COME FROM
DISCRETE SUPERCELLS THAT DEVELOP AHEAD OF A SQUALL LINE... AND PUSH
INTO NW AND WEST CENTRAL GA SOMETIME BETWEEN LATE THIS EVENING OR
SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
EASTWARD OVERNIGHT AND WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A DISTINCT SQUALL LINE
THAT APPEARS TO PUSH ACROSS THE AREA SOMETIME BETWEEN 3 AM AND 11 AM
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS QLCS TYPE SQUALL LINE WILL LIKELY BE THE
MAIN SEVERE WEATHER PRODUCER... BRINGING A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR
MORE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS... ALONG WITH A FEW EMBEDDED
TORNADOES.

IN ADDITION TO SEVERE STORMS... ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING AND MINOR
STREAM FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE... ESPECIALLY IF TRAINING OF STORMS
OCCUR OVER LOW LYING... FLASH FLOOD PRONE AREAS. THE EXPECTED
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES OVER ALREADY SATURATED
GROUND WILL ALSO QUICKLY RUN OFF INTO AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS... AND
COULD RESULT IN BRIEF MINOR FLOODING ALONG SOME OF THE FLOOD PRONE
CREEKS AND RIVERS. THE FLOODING CONCERN HAS PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE
OF A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NORTH AND PARTS OF CENTRAL GA FROM 6 PM
THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY. SEE THE LATEST FLASH FLOOD
WATCH STATEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS POTENTIAL
THREAT.

OTHERWISE... EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS
THE STORM SYSTEM LIFTS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND DRAGS THE COLD FRONT
EAST OF THE STATE.

39

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 346 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016/
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW AS IT LIFTS
OUT OF THE REGION WILL COMBINE WITH A COOLER AIR MASS BEHIND THE
FRONT TO KEEP THE POTENTIAL OF WINTRY PRECIP OVER FAR NORTH
GEORGIA...PARTICULARLY THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. HAVE CONTINUED
MENTION OF SNOW OR A SNOW/RAIN MIX IN FAR NORTHEASTERN GEORGIA
WITH LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS /IF ANY/. FOR NOW...HAVE GONE AHEAD AND
INCLUDED ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO 0.4 INCHES /A DUSTING/...BUT THIS
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED AS THURSDAY MORNING APPROACHES.

AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST...RAIN/MIX CHANCES
DIMINISH ALTOGETHER THURSDAY NIGHT...AND THE MAJORITY OF THE
REMAINING EXTENDED FORECAST REMAINS UNEVENTFUL. COOLER
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 40S AND 50S...WITH A GRADUAL WARM UP INTO THE 60S BY SUNDAY.

THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA LATE SUNDAY...AND HAVE
CONTINUED GOOD CHANCE POPS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY
MONDAY. THE GFS PUSHES THE FRONT INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA BY MONDAY
MORNING...WITH THE ECMWF SOLUTION LAGGING 6-12 HOURS BEHIND.

31

HYDROLOGY...
/ISSUED AT 346 AM EST TUE FEB 23 2016/
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR NORTH AND WEST CENTRAL
GEORGIA WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 6PM TONIGHT THROUGH 6PM WEDNESDAY.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-3 INCHES WILL COMBINE WITH THE
ALREADY 1-2 INCHES THAT HAVE FALLEN IN THE LAST 24 HOURS TO
KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD RISK HIGH THROUGH WEDNESDAY. PLEASE SEE THE
LATEST FLASH FLOOD WATCH /FFAFFC/ FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE...
CIGS BOUNCE BETWEEN IFR AND MVFR LEVELS THIS MORNING AS PERIODS OF
SHOWERS MOVE ACROSS THROUGH LATE MORNING. EXPECT MVFR CIGS TO
PREVAIL TODAY... THEN LOWER TO IFR LEVELS BY 04-06Z WED AS MORE
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS PREVAIL OVERNIGHT. ISOLATED THUNDER REMAINS
POSSIBLE ABOUT ANYTIME... BUT THINKING THE MORE FAVORABLE TIME WILL
BE FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING... THEN OVERNIGHT AS
A SQUALL LINE MOVES ACROSS ATL BETWEEN 08-12Z WED. THE STORMS SHOULD
PUSH EAST OF ATL BY 13-15Z WED. SE WINDS AROUND 8KTS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE EVENING... THEN INCREASE TO AROUND 12-14KTS AFTER 06Z
TONIGHT. WINDS VEER SW BY 12Z WED WITH HIGHER GUSTS ON WED. MVFR
CIGS PREVAIL THRU 18Z WED... THEN MAY IMPROVE TO VFR LEVELS.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE...
MEDIUM ON TIMING OF CEILINGS AND THUNDER.
HIGH ON ALL REMAINING ELEMENTS.

ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

DAMAGING WINDS...HEAVY RAIN...ISOLATED TORNADOES...FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...AND SMALL HAIL ARE ALL POSSIBLE.

DISCUSSION...

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE STATE THIS EVENING...
DRAGGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. STORMS
THAT DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND THE STRONG SQUALL LINE

WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW EMBEDDED TORNADOES. THE
HIGHEST RISK WILL GENERALLY BE FROM 3 AM TO 11 AM WEDNESDAY.
HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO EXPECTED...WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3
INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THIS RAINFALL WILL COMBINE
WITH THE SATURATED ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS TO KEEP THE FLASH
FLOODING RISK HIGH THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEE THE LATEST
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE LATEST DETAILS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

THE THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
DIMINISHES AS THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS PUSHES EAST OF THE STATE.
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THIS SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN LIGHT WINTRY
PRECIPITATION ACROSS FAR NORTH GEORGIA ON THURSDAY WITH LITTLE TO
NO ACCUMULATIONS. NO HAZARDS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY AT
THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST INFORMATION TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL
