...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Peachtree City has issued a

* Flood Watch for North and Central Georgia.

* From Saturday morning through Sunday evening

* A strong storm system will spread rain across north and central
  Georgia tonight and continuing into Sunday. Some of the rain
  could be heavy late Saturday and Saturday night. Total rainfall
  of 2 to 3 inches is expected across the watch area with isolated
  higher amounts. 

* The ground across north and central Georgia remains saturated
  from recent rains. Some rivers and creeks are already running 
  high. Any additional heavy rain will result in high runoff, 
  potentially causing some rivers and creeks to rise above flood 
  stage. High water may not recede until well after the rains end.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY EVENING...

The Flood Watch continues for

* North and Central Georgia.

* From 7 AM EST this morning through Sunday evening

* A strong storm system will spread rain across north and central
  Georgia this morning, continuing through Sunday. Some of the rain
  could be heavy late today and tonight. Total rainfall of 1.5 to 3
  inches is expected across the watch area with isolated higher  
  amounts. 

* The ground across north and central Georgia remains saturated from
  recent rains, and some rivers and creeks are already running high.
  Any additional heavy rain will result in high runoff, potentially
  causing some rivers and creeks to rise above flood stage. High  
  water may not recede until well after the rains end. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

The Flood Watch continues for

* North and Central Georgia.

* Through this evening

* As the storm system lifts away, precipitation will begin to
  decrease today. Additional precipitation of 0.5 to 1.5 inches 
  is possible.

* The heavy rainfall from yesterday combined with additional
  precipitation today will result in continued rises and flooding
  of creeks and streams. Even after the rain ends, water levels
  will continue to rise. High water may not recede until several
  hours or days after the precipitation ends.
  

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.

...FLOOD WATCH IS CANCELLED...

The Flood Watch for North and Central Georgia has been cancelled.

The widespread rain responible for the flooding is ending.
However, keep in mind that the run off from the recent rainfall 
is causing rivers, creeks and streams to rise and flood warnings 
will likely be issued over the next 12 to 24 hours.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flood watch 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 flood watch went out at Dec 7, 12:24 PM EST, 21 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion

1224 PM EST Fri Dec 7 2018

.UPDATE...
Updated for the 18Z Aviation Discussion.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 920 AM EST Fri Dec 7 2018/

UPDATE...
Areas of light rain/sprinkles continue to stream across north GA.
This will continue through the afternoon. Therefore have increased
pops across north GA for the rest of today.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 356 AM EST Fri Dec 7 2018/

SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/...

Latest regional radar indicates some light rain already moving
through portions of north central Alabama. Eastern extent of this
activity is struggling though and with relatively dry airmass in
place, we may have until afternoon before measurable activity
reaches the local area. This is a good thing as temps have lowered
to the upper 20s to around freezing for a few areas in NE GA.
Anticipating to be above freezing by the time pops arrive but
would not be at all surprised to hear of a few sleet reports
later this afternoon with precip emanating from mid level deck
across far northern tier.

Low pressure begins to develop across the Gulf Coast tonight and
moderate WSW flow aloft allows for increasing isentropic upglide
through Sat morning. Categorical pops for the southern metro and
points northward with increasing rain rates through Sat getting to
a half an inch every 6 hours Sat afternoon. We also begin to see
wedge setting up during this time period which will play a key
role in determining both ice and snow amounts going forward.

Deese

LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/...

Attention turns to winter storm potential for Sat night into Sun
and unfortunately, still seeing a wide array of model solutions.
We are just beginning to see some of the hi res guidance entering
into the picture for this time period and not surprisingly, they
are a little more bullish in developing and maintaining the wedge
for this event. GFS on the other hand holds onto almost none of
the cold air and keeps most all areas above freezing and
consequently no ice accretion. ECMWF is somewhat of a middle
ground of the guidance and at least indicates some ice potential
for the forecast area.

It is always a tough call with dynamics suggesting a relatively
quick erosion of wedge and diabatic processes suggesting it may
hold longer than models suggest. For this cycle, we have favored
the NAM12 blended with some hi res guidance which does allow for
some below freezing temps for the NE corridor. This occur mainly
after 06Z Sun over Towns and White but does spread all the way
into the NE metro by 12Z. QPF values continue high, so would not
take long to see issues assuming we do remain below freezing in
those locations.

We may prove in the end to be too high with our
ice accretions but are advertising a shade over a tenth of an inch
of ice for this event. This would be below warning criteria but we
are also anticipating some snow and sleet at higher elevations as
well. The areas that have the most overlap of ice and snow are
Towns, White, Union and Lumpkin counties and will be issuing a
watch with this issuance for those locations. It should be noted
that most locations North of I20 and east of I75 are only a degree
or two away from also seeing significant icing issues so please
stay tuned for any changes to the forecast.

Still anticipating multiple shortwaves both Sun night and Mon
night to affect the area. Colder temps aloft will allow for a
rain/snow mix Sun night and snow showers Mon night. QPF by this
time period is quite low and accumulations should be confined to
the higher elevations once again.

20

Hydrology...

Storm total QPF continues to increase for this event with values
over 3 inches now anticipated. This would likely produce some
localized flooding issues, especially with recent rains and
saturated grounds. Will let day shift issue watch as we still have
some time until heaviest of the activity begins.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z Update...
No major changes to the previous TAFs. Conditions will deteriorate
through the forecast as the storm system strengthens and moves
across Georgia. Cigs will become MVFR this evening across north GA
and across central late tonight. All areas will be IFR by Saturday
morning and remain IFR through the forecast. Winds will be light
northerly to calm, becoming northeast and increasing to 10 to 15
kts and gusty by mid Saturday morning.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Medium on timing of onset of MVFR and IFR cigs.
High on remaining elements.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North and Central
Georgia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday...

For Saturday night into Sunday, there is a chance for some freezing
rain and sleet across portions of northeast Georgia along with some
accumulating snowfall over the mountains. This could then transition
to a light mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain across the rest of
north Georgia and portions of central Georgia on the back side of the
system for late Sunday into Monday. Please monitor updates as we get
closer. Changes to the forecast are very likely.

Outside of the winter weather threat, heavy rain Saturday into
early Sunday could result in up to 3 inches of rainfall. This will
likely elevate the threat for localized flooding or flash flooding.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
