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 30, 3:17 PM EDT, 2 hours 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 30, 3:17 PM EDT, 2 hours 52 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
317 PM EDT SAT JUL 30 2016

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/...

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night...

Little change in the overall pattern this forecast period.  The
forecast area remains under the influence of an upper level trough
and weak surface trough through the weekend. Short term models are
in good agreement showing ripples in the upper level flow, however
they are having difficulty handling disturbance moving through north
AL and the associated showers/thunderstorms which will move into
north GA by 5 pm.  Have raised pops, although they remain in the
chance category through this evening as deep moisture and upper
level disturbances will provide a focus for convective development.
PWATs in the 1.5-2.0 inch range support locally heavy rainfall and
ample CAPE available expect isolated thunderstorms will be possible.
With upper level ripples continuing into the overnight hours have
held slight chance pops overnight with chance pops again tomorrow
afternoon.  Guidance temperatures in line and stayed close.

Atwell

&&

.LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/...
Mid to long-range models show good agreement with a weak long
wave trough drifting along the Appalachians and dragging a weak
frontal boundary into the TN Valley Region by late Monday. This
coupled with subtle disturbances traversing through the upper
trough should enhance our chances for at least mainly diurnal
driven convection on Monday and Monday night. The upper trough
pushes off the Atlantic coast on Tuesday while high pressure
builds east from TX. This results in a weak frontal boundary
possibly sagging into central GA by late Tuesday while a weak
northwest flow becomes established aloft. This will likely result
in less rain chances across north GA and maybe low scattered
coverage across central GA for at least Tuesday and Wednesday next
week. Weak disturbances in the northwest flow aloft and increasing
low level moisture may help increase rain chances by Thursday and
Friday just a bit... but still much uncertainty on just how much
influence the ridge pushing in from the west will have on things.

Otherwise... weak shear and only moderate instability continues
to support mainly afternoon and evening general thunderstorms...
with nothing widespread or organized severe expected through the
long term.

The expected increase in clouds and rain chances should help hold
temps closer to seasonal normals on Monday... then this trend may
continue into mid week as a slightly cooler northwest flow becomes
established.

.AVIATION...
18Z Update...
MVFR/VFR conditions will persist as isolated to scattered
showers/thunderstorms move across the area. The best timing for
ATL area and AHN for thunder will be 20-24Z, and through 02Z at
CSG/MCN. Winds will favor SW at 5-10kts with gusts to 25-30 with
any thunderstorms.
