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 Atlanta, GA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jan 7, 10:40 AM EST, 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 7, 10:40 AM EST, 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
1040 AM EST Sat Jan 7 2017

.UPDATE...
Radar/satellite imagery shows that the winter storm has moved well
northeast of the area. Will go ahead and cancel the Winter Storm
Warning and Winter Weather Advisory a few hours early. Will hang
onto the Wind Chill Advisory until expiration. Will likely have to
issue another Wind Chill Advisory for overnight. Also, even though
the Winter Storm Warning/Advisory will be cancelled...travel will
remain difficult...especially in areas where roads are covered in
snow and/or water has frozen on the roadways. Will probably need
an Special Weather Statement for black ice for overnight.

Have adjusted the MaxT values down a few degrees.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 628 AM EST Sat Jan 7 2017/

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 400 AM EST Sat Jan 7 2017/

SHORT TERM /Today through Sunday/...
Well as far as the snowfall is concerned...this system definitely
favored the thermal profiles that the NAM had projected which were
North of the I20 corridor on the west side and North of I85 on the
east. And even those areas have under performed snow wise with
perhaps only the NE mountain locations realizing anticipated
totals.

Ice on the other hand continues to be an issue this morning as
temps from Cleveland to Griffin and Pine Mountain are below
freezing at this hour and much colder air in the lower to mid 20s
pours into North GA. Although winds will help...this kind of cold
air with moisture still in place on roadways is sure to create
numerous slick spots through much of the morning hours and even
into the afternoon for the Northern portions. So with this in mind
have kept winter storm warning in place for any areas that
received accumulating snow or ice given poor road conditions
likely in place and went with an advisory for those areas that
previously had a warning but failed to meet precip criteria.
Advisory will be for the continued threat of black ice through
this morning.

The other issue will be the winds which should increase to near 20
mph with gusts to 30 mph. This will allow for 2 things. Most
importantly...those areas with accumulated ice on trees will see
limbs and branches break off under the stress of the ice accretion
and wind speeds. 2nd...wind chill temps will drop into the low
single digits requiring a wind chill advisory for the northern
tier.

Remainder of the forecast will just be a temp forecast with cold
temps remaining in place for the short term. Will need to wait to
see the snow cover for the far northern portions but MOS guidance
already in the single digits and teens for these locations. Will
need to monitor for possible further reductions in these temps
with subsequent forecasts.

Deese

LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/...
Quiet but cold weather to start the long term as dry surface high
pressure moves across the southern Appalachians.
Forecast low temperatures are expected to run about 10-15
degrees below normal. Dry weather continues on Monday with
forecast high temperatures running 10-12 degrees below normal.

Some moisture return for Tuesday with mainly small chances for
light rain over far n GA in a overrunning type flow ahead of the
next front. Shower chances go up Tuesday night and Wednesday for
n and portions of central GA as a cold front tries to move into
n Ga. Not much instability with this front so far so only showers
associated. Only small light rain chances for n and portions of
central Thursday and Friday as a mild southerly flow continues
over the area ahead of another front.

High temperatures warm to around normal on Tuesday then above
normal for Wednesday through Friday.

AVIATION...
12Z UPDATE...

The current trends in the terminals are largely on track and only
limited changes anticipated for the 12Z cycle. Big story was the
precipitation type which for the ATL terminals was  more ice than
snow. Although most have transitioned to -SN...still put in a period
of -FZDZ through 14Z. IFR to MVFR to continue through 14Z before
a quick transition to MVFR and then VFR by 15Z. Clearing and windy
for the remainder of the TAF set with 18G28kt for much of the day.

//ATL CONFIDENCE...06Z UPDATE...
High on all elements.
