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 Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 6, 3:24 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 3:24 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
324 PM EST SAT FEB 6 2016

.Near Term [Through Tonight]...

Patchy light rain has developed mainly over our eastern zones due to
weak isentropic ascent ahead of an approaching upper low/trough
currently moving into western Louisiana. The upper low will continue
eastward and be positioned in the Florida Panhandle by 12z. This in
turn will help spin up the surface low currently east of the Florida
peninsula. Wrap around moisture from this feature will keep low
level cloudiness across the local region into the early morning
hours before beginning to clear from west to east. Patchy light rain
will also continue over our easternmost zones until or shortly after
midnight. In other words, we don't believe there will be lingering
precip when low temps are forecast to drop into the mid 30s.

.Short Term [Sunday Through Monday Night]...

A strong +PV anomaly over the state of Florida to start the
period will be well into the process of spinning up a strong
surface low in the western Atlantic. By late Sunday night, the
coupled low pressure system will be vertically stacked off the
Mid-Atlantic coast, and will continue to move further east into
the Atlantic for the remainder of the period. As far as sensible
weather is concerned, the only effects we'll experience is a
continuation of cool afternoon highs as we mix into the
anomalously cold temperatures aloft. Highs on Sunday should remain
in the mid 50s region-wide. With healthy gradient winds expected
through the night Sunday night, lows are only forecast to fall
into the mid to upper 30s. On Monday, another +PV anomaly will
push south around the western edge of a large low over the Great
Lakes region. This will push a cold front into the region through
the day. There is some disagreement between models on whether
we'll see any measurable QPF, models that are a little quicker and
further south bring in enough synoptic forcing before the moisture
is scoured out. At this time, there is not any advertised QPF
Monday into Monday night. Expect overnight lows on Monday to range
from the low 30s across Alabama and parts of southwest Georgia, up
to around 40 degrees in the extreme southeast Big Bend of Florida.

.Long Term [Tuesday Through Saturday]...

The eastern CONUS trough will prevail aloft through much of the
week before temporarily becoming more zonal Friday into Saturday
ahead of another frontal system. A slight chance for rain is
expected near the end of the period with a somewhat unimpressive
cold front. In general, highs and lows will gradually warm to
near normal levels through the period, with the coldest night
being Tuesday night behind the early week front.

&&

.Aviation...
[Through 18Z Sunday]

VFR conditions will prevail with CIGS in the 4-5 kft range mainly
for the TLH, ABY and VLD terminals through daybreak before skies
begin to clear from west to east. Winds will be light overnight
but become northerly 10 to 15 knots with higher gusts during the
day Sunday.

&&

.Marine...

Advisory conditions are expected later tonight as a strong area of
low pressure in the western Atlantic increases winds locally. A
temporary break from headline conditions is expected Sunday night
until the passage of our next cold front on Monday. In its wake
solid advisory level winds and seas are expected, with the
potential for frequent gale force gusts. These rough conditions
are expected through Tuesday night before much calmer conditions
will prevail after mid-week.

&&

.Fire Weather...

Strong daytime transport winds will drive dispersion values above
75 Sunday and Monday. Although the airmass will be quite dry,
the relatively cool temperatures will likely keep RH values above
locally critical thresholds.

&&

.Hydrology...

Many of our area rivers are in or near flood stage. Currently,
flooding continues with river stages still rising along the
Choctawhatchee River at Caryville and Bruce, Apalachicola River at
Blountstown, and Withlacoochee River at Valdosta. The Kinchafoonee
Creek at Dawson has crested, but remains in flood and will gradually
lower over the next several days. Spring Creek at Iron City,
Withlacoochee at Quitman, and Ochlockonee at Thomasville will reach
flood stage this afternoon. The Flint River at Bainbridge will crest
near flood stage Sunday morning. Flooding will also be possible
early next week along the Ochlockonee at Concord and the
Withlacoochee at Quitman. With very low chances of rain for the next
seven days, rivers are expected to gradually lower over the next
week. The one exception is the Apalachicola River at Blountstown,
where upstream dam releases will prolong flooding.
