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, 2:47 PM EST, 53 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 23, 2:47 PM EST, 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA
247 PM EST TUE FEB 23 2016

...SEVERE STORMS LIKELY TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY INCLUDING
TORNADOES...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY PRETTY MUCH TELLS THE STORY WITH LOCAL AREA
BETWEEN SYSTEMS AT THIS POINT. DRIER AIR AT THE MID LEVELS
CONTINUE TO MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND ALTHOUGH THIS WILL
LIMIT INITIAL OVERALL INTENSITY OF STORMS...STILL SEE SOME LOW
TOPPED CONVECTION BEGINNING NORTH OF INTERSTATE 10. THIS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO BUILD NORTHWARD AND EXPAND IN COVERAGE AS DIFFLUENCE
ALOFT INCREASES WITH APPROACHING STRONG SHORTWAVE. OF POTENTIALLY
SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE HAS BEEN THE STRENGTH AND EXTENT OF WEDGE
WHICH MODELS HAVE HAD A POOR HANDLE ON. AREAS THAT WERE FORECAST
TO IMPROVE CIG AND TEMPERATURE WISE HAVE SEEN LITTLE IF ANY
IMPROVEMENT AND THIS SHOULD PERSIST FOR MUCH OF THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HOURS.

FOR TONIGHT...INGREDIENTS CONTINUE TO BE COMING TOGETHER FOR A
POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT TO INCLUDE A
WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WIND THREAT AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. THIS IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE WEDGE INCLUDING ALL OF SW
GEORGIA BUT THREAT WILL EVENTUALLY SPREAD FURTHER NE TO INCLUDE
THE ATLANTA METRO AREAS AS WELL...LIKELY PRIOR TO DAYBREAK. WE
CONTINUE TO SEE DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN EXCESS OF 100 KTS AS WELL AS
LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES OF 300 TO 500 M2/S2.
INTERESTINGLY...NAM12 AND SOME OTHER GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE A
SLIGHT DISPLACEMENT OF BEST CAPE WITH BEST SHEAR VALUES AND WILL
NEED TO MONITOR THIS TREND CLOSELY. REGARDLESS...FEEL THERE WILL
BE ENOUGH SHEAR AND INSTABILITY OVERLAP TO WARRANT AN ENHANCED TO
MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS.

REALLY GOING WITH THE FASTER MODEL SOLUTIONS FOR THIS EVENT AND
FEEL SOME OF THE HI RES GUIDANCE HAS THE BEST HANDLE IN PUSHING
THE ENTIRE LINE THROUGH THE AREA BY 15Z-17Z. ADDITIONAL SVR
POTENTIAL IS POSSIBLE TO LIKELY WITH THESE STORMS AS THEY EXIT THE
SE PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH WINDS BEING THE MAIN
CONCERN.

AS IF THIS WERE NOT ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH...WE ALSO MUST DEAL WITH
GRADIENT WINDS IN THE STORMS WAKE WITH SUSTAINED 25 MPH AND HIGHER
GUSTS SO HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA.
FINALLY...WINTER WEATHER WILL BE A CONCERN WITH WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE LOOKING EXTENSIVE. ALTHOUGH BELOW ZERO TEMPERATURES AT
850 MB LOOKS LIKELY SHORTLY AFTER 00Z...SURFACE TEMPERATURES
REMAIN IN THE 40S INITIALLY SO VERY LITTLE SNOW WILL MIX IN. BUT
BY 03Z AND ESPECIALLY 06Z...SURFACE TEMPS WILL COOL ENOUGH TO
ALLOW FOR A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW FOR THE NORTHERN TIER AND ALL
SNOW FOR THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS. IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE WHILE FOR
THIS TO ACCUMULATE GIVEN GROUND TEMPS BUT WE WILL SEE ACCUMULATING
SNOW LATE WED NIGHT INTO THU WITH POSSIBLE ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR
THE MOUNTAINS. WILL ISSUE JUST AN SPS FOR NOW TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
BUT MAY NEED AN UPGRADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS.

DEESE

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

MAINLY ADJUSTED THE FIRST PORTION OF THE FCST PERIOD TO INCLUDE
SOME LINGERING LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS IN PORTIONS OF FAR NORTH GA
THURSDAY AND THEN FAR NE GA THURSDAY NIGHT GIVEN PROGGED THERMAL
PROFILES AND MOISTURE COLUMNS. SHOULD BE SOME DECENT LAPSE RATES
TO KEEP IT FAIRLY CONVECTIVE IN NATURE AND AS MENTIONED BY THE END
OF THE SHORT TERM...COULD SEE ACCUMULATIONS FOR THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS /UPWARDS OF 2 INCHES BEFORE ALL SAID AND DONE/. THIS
MAY END UP WARRANTING AN ADVISORY WITH FUTURE UPDATES. OTHERWISE
MADE LITTLE CHANGES TO FCST AND PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

BAKER

&&

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...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES TO BE IN EFFECT FOR NORTH GEORGIA
AND WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA 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.

DISCUSSION...

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

11 AM WEDNESDAY. HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO EXPECTED...WITH RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THIS

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

THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING. MANY AREAS COULD SEE SW WINDS 25 TO 30
MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH. A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED
ACCORDINGLY.

WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THIS SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN LIGHT
WINTRY PRECIPITATION ACROSS FAR NORTH GEORGIA ON THURSDAY WITH
LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE. SOME HIGHER ELEVATIONS COULD SEE UP
TO 2 INCHES AND FUTURE UPDATES COULD WARRANT A POSSIBLE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY. FOR NOW HAVE ISSUED A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT.
