$$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 Dec 9, 2:12 PM EST, 2 hours 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 9, 2:12 PM EST, 2 hours 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 212 PM EST Sun Dec 9 2018 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/... Still some uncertainty with the next short wave that will move across the CWA tonight and Monday morning. Precipitation is slowly drying up across Tennessee however all models are indicating moisture will pool as the system moves across the CWA. Have kept chance to likely pops across the northern part of the CWA tonight/early Monday. As for precipitation type, there is enough cold air moving over the CWA that all precip will either be light rain and/or light snow with additional accumulations of 1/2 to 1 inch, except 1 to 2 inches above 3000 ft. With roads current wet or slushy across northeast GA, additional snowfall and refreezing will create hazardous roads. Will therefore maintain the current Winter Weather Advisory/Warning configuration plus add Banks and Hall counties to the Winter Weather Advisory. After this system moves across the CWA, drier air spreads across the CWA Monday night ending all precipitation. 17 .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Sunday/... Only tweaks to the long term based on the latest guidance. Another wet system is in the cards late week into next weekend. BDL PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... Precip finally ends Mon evening as short wave moves out. Med range guidance in fair agreement up until Thursday with NW flow becoming WSW in advance of strong, digging short wave plowing down into TX on Thurs. GFS and EC cutoff this wave into a deep upper low over the southern plains early Fri with vigorous ascent over GA, though EC tracks this upper low over south GA and GFS takes it north. CMC meanwhile keeps wave open but still strong as it also brings strong vertical motion over GA on Fri. Luckily, even with southern track of EC, temps will be too warm for any winter precip. There could be some convection if GFS solution verifies, though instability so far appears meager. There is some potential for heavy rainfall with any of these solutions so will need to watch this closely. SNELSON && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... IFR conditions will continue into Monday as the next upper short wave moves across the forecast area. This will keep areas of light rain/drizzle to the ATL and AHN areas while CSG/MCN should remain mostly dry through the forecast. Some of the rain in the AHN area could be mixed with light snow but no accumulation. Winds will be northeast this afternoon diminish to light or calm, switching to the light northwest toward midnight tonight. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
