What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 5, 2:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 59 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 2:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 59 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
250 PM EDT TUE JUL 5 2016

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/...
Good coverage of convection this afternoon as the initial short wave
approaches. Ample cloud cover has helped to limit instability across
the area...however moderate mid-level winds and upper support has
resulted in a few strong storms with wind gusts into the 25-35MPH
range. Should see a general diminishing trend as we head into the
evening as the short wave passes and heating subsides. Models
showing another wave approaching early tomorrow and sweeping across
during the day. Will likely see a similar scenario to today with
coverage peaking a bit earlier than normal for summertime convection
and sweeping west to east across the area. Have seen heat index
values pushing 100-105 across the Heat Advisory area where
convection has been limited so far today. Cloud cover has kept
temperatures from reaching quite as high as earlier anticipated...
but HI values close enough to leave the advisory in place through
expiration time of 6PM. Forecast Heat Index values tomorrow are
close to advisory levels in the far southeast but areal extent and
confidence too low right now for a new advisory. Later shifts will
need to keep an eye on this for a possible warmer trend.

20

.LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/...
No changes have been made to the current long term. Models
still on track with existing forecast. Precious discussion
is included below.

41

&&

.Previous.../Issued 347 AM EDT TUE JUL 5 2016/...
LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/... Long Range models
show good agreement with weak disturbances keeping a chance of
showers and possibly a few thunderstorms in the forecast across
north GA Wednesday night and into Thursday. At this time... models
are exiting these disturbances east by Thursday afternoon with
increased ridging and a weak northwest flow aloft developing by
Thursday evening. The west to northwest flow should push some
drier air into the forecast area for Friday and help hold
afternoon convection down to more isolated in coverage. This
appears to be short-lived as a low pressure system pushes across
the Great Lakes region Friday night and drags a frontal boundary
into the TN Valley region by Saturday morning. Although confidence
of the front sagging into the state is low to medium for this time
of year... models are currently showing the front slipping into at
least north GA on Saturday and helping to provide a focus for
afternoon convection. The stalled boundary... coupled with an
active west to northwest flow aloft will warrant showing a chance
of showers and thunderstorms over the weekend and into the first
of next week. Otherwise... expecting slightly warmer than normal
temperatures to prevail... with highs generally in the 90s and
lows in the 70s... except 80s and 60s respectively in the
mountains.

39

AVIATION...
18Z Update...

Generally VFR conditions expected outside of convection through 06Z.
Will likely see at least scattered areas of MVFR or lower
visibilities and possibly ceilings developing between 06Z and 12Z.
Confidence is not high enough to include any restrictions at the TAF
sites except for periods associated with scattered convection.
Scattered convection through 00Z with a diminishing trend after.
There is a good chance for increasing coverage of showers and
thunderstorms across the northwest again between 08Z and 14Z with
scattered convection areawide after 14Z. Winds will remain southwest
to west 8-12KT w/ gusts 16-20KT through 00Z...diminishing to 3-8KT
after.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...

High for wind speeds/direction outside of convection...Medium all
other elements.
