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 15, 9:35 PM EST, 3 hours 54 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 15, 9:35 PM EST, 3 hours 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
935 PM EST Sat Dec 15 2018

.Updated...

Patches of light rain and drizzle linger over parts of north GA
so have adjusted pops to extend coverage area and time. Temperatures
look on track.

41

.Previous...
.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/...

The center of the upper low continues to push northeastward into
eastern Tennessee this afternoon. With this upper low in close
proximity, widespread clouds as well as isolated to widely scattered
light showers can be expected into the evening, primarily in north
Georgia. As the low exits northeastward through the night, these
light showers will diminish by early Sunday morning, though
widespread low clouds will persist.

Sunday will finally bring dry conditions after our latest wet and
dreary few days. Clouds will be relatively slow to diminish through
the day, though more breaks in the clouds should become noticeable
by Sunday afternoon/evening. Temperatures on Sunday will warm well
into the 50s across north Georgia with 60s in central Georgia.

RW

&&

.LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/...

Made some slight adjustments to increase some pops for the more
likely Thurs/Fri system as the GFS has come into much better
agreement with the Euro on bringing an amplifying upper cutoff low
and more abundant moisture. Enough dynamics and possible elevated
instability to include some slight chance thunder mention Thursday
night. Also need to keep close watch on how much lingering
wraparound moisture is present as thermal profiles cool in the far
north late Friday for any possible light snow shower transition.
Still plenty of time to watch trends on this. Previous discussion
follows with little change otherwise.

Baker

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 352 AM EST Sat Dec 15 2018/

LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/...
Long term begins dry, however that will change by mid week as the
next system brings another round of rain to the CWA. GFS/ECMWF are
coming into better agreement on timing and strength of the mid week
system. An upper trough will move off the Pacific coast and into the
Mississippi Valley by Wednesday where it will deepen into a closed
low. Gulf moisture will spread across the CWA Wednesday night and
into Thursday. With better agreement and consistency in timing,
there is better confidence and therefore have increased pops to high
chance and likely for Thursday. There is some weak instability
Thursday but not enough at this time to add thunder. As the system
exits Friday/Friday night, the last area to see precip will be the
extreme north. With temperatures dropping into the 30s across the
mountains Friday night, will need to add a chance of a rain/snow
mix.

.AVIATION...
00Z Update...
Ceilings this evening will mostly be intermittent between
MVFR/VFR. Ceilings are expected to then trend back to IFR
overnight in the 600-800 ft range after 02z. On Sunday, ceilings
will gradually lift back to MVFR after 12-14z. Winds will remain
on the west side through the period. Speeds will be 4 to 6kts
overnight and 10 to 12kt on Sunday.

//ATL Confidence...00Z Update...
Medium confidence on ceilings.
