$$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 Aug 1, 2:33 PM EDT, 5 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 2:33 PM EDT, 5 hours 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 233 PM EDT MON AUG 1 2016 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/... A weak pressure trough continues across northern GA. In the mid levels...a weakness in the upper ridge will persist through tonight. On Tuesday, the high center currently across the central gulf coast will begin to retrograde into eastern Texas. Atmos remains very most and moderately unstable this afternoon. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms have developed and should linger well into the evening. At sunset, activity should diminish in coverage...but isolated storms overnight will not be out of the question. Scattered storms will be possible again tomorrow...during the heat of the day. With PWATS over 2 inches today and tomorrow...and the BL flow remaining 15kt or less...storms will have the potential to produce locally heavy rainfall. Gusty winds and lightning strikes will also be possible within the stronger storms. Where it rains this afternoon and evening, there will be good potential for patchy low clouds and fog. It is too early to determine to what expect and how thick the cloud deck/fog will be. NListemaa .LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/... Only tweaks to the long term based on the latest guidance. BDL Previous Discussion... Long-range models continue to show a weak upper long wave trough drifting off the Atlantic seaboard by early Wednesday as high pressure builds east from Texas. This will establish a subtle north to northwest flow over the state on Wednesday... that appears to spread some drier air into at least parts of north GA and help push a weak surface trough into mainly central GA Wednesday afternoon. This pattern continues to suggest lessor rain chances across north GA and only low scattered coverage across central GA on Wednesday. Models agree on the northwest flow aloft becoming more active by Thursday and this active pattern seems to persist into the weekend. The combination of upper disturbances interacting with increasing low level moisture from a developing southerly wind flow near the surface should help increase diurnally driven rain chances across the area from Thursday through the weekend. For now... will continue to show at least 30-40 percent pops for the later half of the work week and the weekend. It still appears any severe storm threat will be minimal with nothing widespread or too organized expected as the environment remains weakly sheared and only moderate instability expected during daytime heating. Otherwise... highs in the 90s and lows in the 70s will persist. 39 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... No major changes needed to the TAFS. Scattered showers and thunderstorms have begun to develop in the heat of the day. Activity could linger well into the evening hours. If it rains at the airfield, then the potential for fog/low stratus will be higher. For now, will indicate a small potential by mentioning few005. Afternoon convection expected again tomorrow...hi-res model trends showing initiation around the same time as today. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium confidence all elements. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
