$$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 10, 1:00 AM EST, 2 hours 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 10, 1:00 AM EST, 2 hours 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 100 AM EST Mon Dec 10 2018 .UPDATE... Drizzle and light rain showers characterize the current weather across a large portion of north Georgia this evening with cloudy skies elsewhere. Temperatures remain in the mid to upper 30s in most locations with the exception of the higher elevations. As the upper trough axis moves overhead through tomorrow morning, expect weak lift to continue to increase light precipitation across north Georgia. Outside of the Winter Storm Warning/Winter Weather Advisory area, a shallow warm layer will maintain primarily drizzle and light rain, though a brief rain/snow mix would be possible in any heavier bursts of precipitation. No accumulations would occur as surface temperatures will remain above freezing. Within the Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisory areas, light snow will be more likely, particularly at the higher elevations where temperatures will hover around freezing. No changes to forecast additional snowfall amounts are needed at this time, and the Warning and Advisory will remain in place given continued travel complications in these areas. RW && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 653 PM EST Sun Dec 9 2018/ PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 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... 06Z Update... IFR conditions becoming widespread with local to scattered periods of LIFR possible through 18Z before lifting toward MVFR by 20-23z. Periods of light rain and drizzle can be expected across the Atlanta Metro and KAHN TAF sites with lesser precipitation potential at CSG/MCN. Light -rasn is possible at AHN, but surface temperatures are expected to remain above freezing. While a brief mix cannot be ruled out at ATL area sites, confidence not high enough to include in TAF. Winds will remain NWly, generally 3-7kt. //ATL Confidence...06Z Update... Medium confidence on cigs/viz and precipitation coverage. High confidence winds. 20 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
