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 22, 6:37 AM EST, 2 hours 41 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 22, 6:37 AM EST, 2 hours 41 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
637 AM EST Sat Dec 22 2018

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 318 AM EST Sat Dec 22 2018/

SHORT TERM /Today through Sunday/...
The upper trough axis has shifted east of the area this morning with
northwest flow aloft at this time. Significant lingering moisture
has largely waned and exited at this point, and most of the earlier
snow flurries/light snow showers in the higher elevations have
already ended. With no significant further accumulations expected,
have opted to end the Winter Weather Advisory early; however, any
lingering wet patches on the roads in these northern counties where
temperatures are below freezing could present isolated slick spots
on roadways before temperatures warm above freezing later this
morning. Otherwise, lingering low clouds will scatter and clear
quickly after sunrise, and sunny skies return to the area amid the
return of zonal flow aloft and high pressure at the surface. High
temperatures will range from the upper 40s to mid 50s this afternoon.

The dry and sunny conditions will be short-lived as the progressive
upper level pattern ushers a shortwave and weak surface front into
the Southeast on Sunday. While moisture return will not be
spectacular, it will be sufficient to bring the chance for light
rain showers back to the area on Sunday, particularly across north
Georgia. With low temperatures dipping into the mid-30s by Sunday
morning, there could be a very brief light rain/snow mix in far
north and northwest Georgia at the onset of precipitation Sunday
morning. However, temperatures are expected to largely remain above
freezing, so no accumulations are expected. Temperatures will warm
rapidly through mid-morning Sunday with only rain showers expected
thereafter.

RW

LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/...
A weak cold front will be moving across the forecast area
Sunday Night with limited moisture associated so only a slight
chance/chance for light showers, possibly mixed with snow in the
higher elevations of the mountains. Precip chances should not last
too long Sunday Night.

A quiet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day can be expected as a mainly
dry airmass will be in place most of these 2 days. A short wave
with limited moisture will move across later Christmas day and night
with no significant precip expected.

An extended wet period looks to be in the cards starting Wednesday
night and continuing through Friday as an overrunning pattern sets
up ahead of the next cold front, forecast to move to the area on
Friday. A moist SW flow aloft will bring deep moist with a slight
chance or chance of thunderstorms Thursday night and Friday.
Estimated rainfall amounts in the Thursday through Friday timeframe
are running in the 2-4 inch range across all of n GA, with the
highest amounts in the mountains and 1 to 2 plus inches across
central GA. These amounts will likely cause at least minor flooding.

.AVIATION...
12Z Update...
MVFR cigs are rapidly scattering and diminishing from northwest to
southeast this morning. All sites will transition to VFR
conditions during the 12-14z time frame with mostly clear skies
persisting this afternoon into tonight. The potential for MVFR
cigs will return to ATL by around 15z Sunday as the next system
approaches. Winds will remain westerly through the TAF period at
5-10kts during the day before slackening to under 5kts less
overnight.

//ATL Confidence...12Z Update...
High confidence on all elements.
