$$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 19, 3:18 PM EDT, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 19, 3:18 PM EDT, 1 hour 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 318 PM EDT FRI AUG 19 2016 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/... Radar is quite colorful once again this afternoon. Highest coverage is across NW Georgia...with more scattered convection across metro ATL and into central Ga around Macon. Regional data reveals subtropical mid-level ridging has been shunted to our south...exposing the state to a somewhat more enhanced SW flow with a belt of embedded vort maxes extending across the lower MS Valley NE into the TN Valley. Of mention is one that lies across central TN at AFD time (likely convectively enhanced by small MCS that has been slowly moving east across TN today) with a weak lobe trailing into northern AL. Lift provided by this wave...along with 20-25kt of mid level flow has allowed more of a linear-type structure to storms across NW Ga. A weak sfc trough axis still exists across N Ga in response to weak low pressure on lee side of Carolina/VA Appalachian Mtns...which even tho it's diffuse...could aid in convective enhancement. Weak shear and instability (SBCAPE 1000-2000J/kG) should keep this convection tame though can't rule out a few strong storms. Further south across metro ATL and central Ga...more of a diurnally driven scattered nature to the storms. Although lift is weaker...less early morning cloud cover has led to stronger diabatic heating...allowing for higher instability. Could also see a few strong storms with mainly a gusty wind threat. Although flow is a touch quicker today...heavy rain threat still present across all areas. Coverage and intensity of convection will weaken after sunset...though with a disturbed flow will likely see a few nuisance showers persist through midnight or so. Low temps in the 70s. For Saturday...we get to do this all over again as a seasonably strong mid level trough digs into the Midwest...allowing a train of subtle waves to move across the SE states and take advantage of plentiful deep layer moisture and daytime heating. Highest coverage again looks to be across north Ga in the afternoon. Hang in there...this trough will push a sfc cold front towards the area near the end of the short term...see long term for details. Kovacik .LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/... No significant changes to the medium range model trends through the extended forecast period with the 12Z cycle. Subsequently...made minimal changes to the extended forecast grids for this forecast. Still some uncertainty concerning how far south the the more substantial frontal boundary that moves into the region early next week will go. Enough of a push is expected to at least take the front through the majority of the forecast area. \ please see the previous long term forecast discussion below. 20 PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION /Saturday Night through Thursday/... A cold front will approach the TN valley Saturday night and move into n GA on Sunday. The front is expected to move to central GA Sunday night/Monday morning and then is expected to become stationary late Monday into Wednesday. As the front moves to central to s GA...dry surface high pressure moves across the central-southern Appalachians to the ne states Monday into Thursday with a much drier airmass moving over n and parts of central GA during the period. Highest pops will be across n and portions of central GA Saturday night and Sunday. As drier air moves over the area...expecting pops over portions of central GA for Monday. Moisture tries to move n on Tuesday with the best pops over central GA and this trend continues on Wednesday and Thursday...however the GFS and European models are inconsistent with there handling of precip amounts. A cool down is in store starting Sunday night over n and portions of central GA and this looks to continue into mid week. Monday night looks to be the coolest with lows in the upper 50s and 60s over a large portion of the area. BDL && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 148 PM EDT FRI AUG 19 2016/ AVIATION... 18Z Update... Scattered thunderstorms likely to exist near/at all TAF sites this afternoon...with TEMPO covering this until ~23Z. Scattered showers could persist into a portion of the overnight. SCT-BKN mid-level deck looks likely again late tonight into the early morning hours Saturday...until mid-morning cu field develops. Convection likely again Sat afternoon...especially across northern TAF sites. Winds still remain on the west side. Speeds a touch higher Sat afternoon 10-15KT. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
