$$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 1, 1:35 PM EDT, 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 1, 1:35 PM EDT, 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 135 PM EDT FRI APR 1 2016 .UPDATE... HAVE TWEAKED THE POPS ACROSS CENTRAL GA FOR THE AFTERNOON BASED ON RADAR. ALSO...SEVERAL COUNTIES WERE REMOVED ALONG THE NORTHERN BORDER OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. 41 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 735 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016/ UPDATE... UPDATED TO ADD THE NEW TOR WATCH. STORMS HAVE BEEN CYCLING UP AND DOWN ALL MORNING...AND HAVE NOT WEAKENED. MESOANALYSIS SHOWS THE SFC-6KM SHEAR HAS INCREASED ACROSS PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL GA. STORMS ARE WORKING ON ALL OF THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY IN PLACE. THE COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY ACROSS FAR NW GA. IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER FOR THE ATMOS TO RECOVER THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE POTENTIAL STILL EXISTS FOR STRONG TO ISOLD SEVERE STORMS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20 THIS AFTERNOON. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 657 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016/ UPDATE... UPDATED FOR THE TOR WATCH EXTENSION. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 453 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016/ UPDATE... UPDATED TO EXTEND THE TORNADO WATCH. NO OTHER CHANGES. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 412 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016/ SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... ACTIVE DAY ON TAP FOR THE FORECAST AREA AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. REGIONAL RADAR SHOWS A WIDESPREAD AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE CWFA THIS MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY DEVELOPED OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND PUSHED EAST. THE COLD FRONT CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM CENTRAL TN BACK THROUGH CENTRAL AL TO THE GULF COAST. A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE HAS STEEPENED LAPSE RATES THIS MORNING...HELPING TO SUSTAIN CONVECTION BUT WILL PUSH OFF TO THE EAST EARLY THIS MORNING. IN ADDITION...MESOANALYSIS SHOWS GOOD SHEAR ALSO HELPING TO SUSTAIN THE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. THE HI-RES MODELS DON'T HAVE A GREAT HANDLE ON WHAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON...WITH THE HRRR WITH THE BEST PRECIP PATTER BUT THE CONVECTION IS A LOT WEAKER THAN WHAT IS ACTUALLY OCCURRING. THE WRF HAS A BETTER HANDLE ON WHAT IS GOING ON TO THE SOUTH. DO THINK THE AREA OF STORMS ACROSS EASTERN AL WILL HOLD TOGETHER AND CONTINUE EASTWARD INTO THE CWFA. DO THINK THAT SEVERE STORMS WILL BE LIMITED IN COVERAGE...BUT STRONG STORMS ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. ALL OF THE MODELS ARE SHOWING A SLOW DOWN IN THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT EARLY TODAY. IT WILL LIKELY BECOME STATIONARY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ACROSS NORTHERN GA...SO DO EXPECT SOMEWHAT OF A LULL IN THE STRONG/SEVERE ACTIVITY LATER THIS MORNING AND POSSIBLY LASTING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS...A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK WILL MOVE OUT OF THE GOMEX AND NORTHEAST INTO GA. THESE TWO FEATURES WILL HELP ENHANCE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT AGAIN. EXACTLY WHERE THE CONVECTION FIRES LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE HEAVILY DEPENDENT UPON WHERE THE FRONT SETS UP THIS MORNING. AREAS SOUTH OF THE FRONT WILL HAVE HAVE THE BEST CHANCES OF DE-STABILIZING WITH MORE HEATING LIKELY. WITH THIS IN MIND...THINK THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION WILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF LINGERING WELL INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...LARGE HAIL AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PICK UP A LITTLE SPEED TONIGHT AND BEGIN TO PUSH SOUTHWARD AGAIN AS THE 500MB TROUGH BEGINS TO SWING THROUGH. THE TROUGH DOESN'T LOOK TO CLEAR THE CWFA UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY SATURDAY. AGAIN...THE BEST CHANCES OF PRECIP WILL BE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT EARLY SATURDAY WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWFA. SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. NLISTEMAA LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY QUIET UNTIL LATE NEXT WEEK. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE THROUGH DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED WITH THIS FEATURE...AN NOT EXPECTING ANY PRECIP ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AT THIS TIME. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY SET UP ACROSS THE AREA UNTIL LATE WEDNESDAY/EARLY THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING THE NEXT BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP. EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER WILL BE QUIET...FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES WILL BE POSSIBLE NEXT WEEK. THE AREA THAT HAS THE MOST POTENTIAL TO SEE ANY FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES WILL BE THE NORTHEAST MTNS OF GA. THE MOST LIKELY TIME PERIODS WOULD BE SATURDAY NIGHT...TUESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT...DUE TO DRIER AND COOLER AIR SETTLING OVER THE AREA BEHIND COLD FRONTS. NLISTEMAA HYDROLOGY... ON AVERAGE...ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL HAS FALLEN OVER PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THIS MORNING. THERE ARE TWO AXES OF HEAVIER RAINFALL...ONE ACROSS NORTHERN GA AND THE SECOND ACROSS WEST CENTRAL GA. THERE HASN'T BEEN AN AIRMASS CHANGE AND PWATS REMAIN ANOMALOUSLY HIGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH VALUES 1.5 INCHES PLUS THROUGH TONIGHT. SO...ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING. WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME...BUT MAY RE-CONSIDER LATER THIS MORNING. NLISTEMAA AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO SPREAD INTO NORTH GA THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT ALL TAF SITES SHOULD BE AFFECTED BY RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE EARLY EVENING. HAVE INCLUDED THUNDER IN ALL TAFS UNTIL 23Z. SURFACE FRONT SHOULD COME THROUGH AROUND 04Z. EXPECT MOSTLY MVFR CEILINGS THROUGH THE EVENING WITH SOME LOCAL IFR IN RAIN. CEILINGS MOSTLY IFR AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT AFTER 14Z.
