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 Nov 14, 10:08 PM EST, 2 hours 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 14, 10:08 PM EST, 2 hours 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1008 PM EST Wed Nov 14 2018 .UPDATE... Widespread persistent rainfall continues this evening amid continued abundant southerly flow. As the parent upper low continues to lift through the Mid Mississippi Valley, a surface low formed across northeast Alabama and will continue to lift northward through the overnight hours. Rainfall rates have not been overly heavy, but with continued steady rainfall and embedded higher rainfall rates, the Flash Flood Watch will continue through Thursday morning given saturated soils. The heaviest additional rainfall totals continue to be expected across eastern portions of the area through Thursday morning where 1-2" totals are anticipated with locally higher amounts. Rain will taper from west to east through the morning hours bringing a gradual end to the flooding threat. RW && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 645 PM EST Wed Nov 14 2018/ PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 257 PM EST Wed Nov 14 2018/ SHORT TERM /Tonight through Thursday Night/... The short term period begins with a closed upper level low to our west and ample moisture overspreading the area at the surface, resulting in scattered showers across much of the area. As the plume of moisture off the gulf continues to push into our area through the rest of the day, more widespread rainfall will overtake the area this afternoon and evening. The heaviest of the rainfall will occur this evening and potentially into the overnight hours. A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Thursday morning with 1 to 3 inches expected in the watch area with the highest amounts generally along and south of the I-85 corridor, with locally higher amounts possible. Soils are already saturated due to the 2 to 4+ inches that have fallen since the beginning of the week in portions of north and central Georgia. As such, localized flash flooding and additional river flooding issues could be possible with these additional rainfall amounts. Overall, with very minimal instability present, severe storms are not anticipated, leaving heavy rain and flooding the primary threats. Temperatures on Thursday will be fairly chilly with many areas only making it into the 40s in north GA and upper 40s lower 50s in central GA. As the precip pushes out and the upper level low starts to lift north, the upper level flow shifts more northwesterly and cold air rushes in dropping temperatures rapidly overnight. Low temperatures Thursday night into Friday morning will be in the 20s and 30s across the entire area. Interested parties should continue to monitor the forecast for any Freeze Watches/Warnings that may be issued with subsequent forecast packages. Patchy frost will also be possible across a good portion of the area. These cold temperatures mixed with the possibility of lingering wrap around moisture across far northern portions of the area will result in the possibility of mixed precip in the northeast mountains with little to no accumulation expected. Current thinking is more of a slight chance/chance of brief rain or snow showers in the late evening to just overnight in the higher elevations. The limiting factor in this setup continues to be available moisture to produce precipitation. The rest of the area should remain dry. Reaves LONG TERM /Friday through Wednesday/... Zonal or nearly zonal upper flow pattern persists through the majority of the extended forecast period pointing to a dry and seasonally mild Long-Term Forecast this weekend through the middle of next week. Weak short wave approaches early in the week, however little available moisture and weak and basically "channeled" nature of the vorticity do not appear conducive to generating anything but an increase in mid/high cloudiness. 20 AVIATION... 00Z Update... IFR cigs prevail this evening amid widespread rainfall at all TAF sites. Expect IFR cigs to continue with LIFR cigs and IFR vsbys possible at times through the overnight hours into Thursday morning. Ceilings likely will not improve into MVFR range until 17-19z Thursday. Steady rain will begin to taper off around 10-12z. Winds remain from the E/NE 10-12 kts with gusts as high as 15-20 knots, though wind speeds and gusts will slacken into the early morning hours. Wind direction is expected to shift to the NW by around 15z Thursday with west winds prevailing thereafter. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Medium confidence on all elements.
