$$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 28, 6:37 AM EST, 3 hours 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 28, 6:37 AM EST, 3 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 637 AM EST Fri Dec 28 2018 .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 406 AM EST Fri Dec 28 2018/ SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/... Significant wave of showers and embedded thunderstorms moved through the NW half of the area during the evening and first part of the overnight hours. This was largely due to a strong low level jet that interacted with a warm located along the I85 corridor on the west side and along I20 to the east. This produced around 2 inches in the last 6 hours from LaGrange to Newnan and portions of the metro. These areas also received close to an inch 8 to 12 hours ago bring totals up to around 3 inches with locally higher amounts. This has resulted in some localized flooding across the area although difficult to discern flash versus areal at this point with the multiple rounds of precip affecting these areas. Seeing a relative lull at the moment but next wave already forming over portions of Alabama along actual frontal boundary. Should see NW GA get in on the act first with most significant activity later this morning. Initially this line will not have much movement but front does eventually get some momentum with line moving through the metro by early afternoon. Current Flash Flood watch looks to cover these areas well and no changes planned there. May be able to cancel watch early given earlier expected clearing trend later tonight. Front will stall through Saturday and SW flow aloft will ensure deep layer moisture will continue to stream in. Some discrepancy in models as to where re-development of activity takes place with GFS and other global models indicating southern sections of the forecast area while convective allowing models indicate more along the I85 corridor and areas that have been seen the most rain. Have used a blend for now but kept likely pops over southern most sections for now but this will need to be refined. No significant gusts of note per latest mesonet obs and should be able to allow wind advisory expire at 12Z. Deese LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/... Long term period will be punctuated by a prolonged wet period. The upper level low will move across northern Mexico Saturday night into Monday with deep moist southwest flow feeding periods of showers. A warm front will lift northward Sunday, and a cold front will move into the area late Monday as the now upper level wave pushes the surface low through the Mississippi, Tennessee Valleys onto the Ohio Valley by Tuesday. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible Monday afternoon and again Tuesday afternoon in the vicinity of the cold front. The cold front slowly pushes through the forecast area Tuesday and Wednesday as the next upper level low digs into the desert southwest. As the upper low ejects across the Gulf Coast states by the end of the week, surface low pushes the front through the forecast area by the end of the week. Current rainfall totals for Saturday night through Wednesday morning are in the 1.5 to 3 inch range. With already saturated soils and multiple days of rainfall, the threat for flash flooding in addition to river flooding will continue for several days. Have stayed close to guidance temperatures through the extended period, which brings near freezing temperatures into portions of north Georgia Thursday morning which would support a mix of rain and snow briefly Thursday morning. At this time any accumulations will be an inch or less. Atwell PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 108 AM EST Fri Dec 28 2018/ .AVIATION... 12Z UPDATE... IFR conditions for the most part but periodic lines of SHRA have allowed for temporary improvements. Overall, expect continued bands of SHRA for first part of today along with continued IFR/LIFR conditions due to cigs. Winds to become SW early afternoon and coincide with a second round of heavy SHRA with embedded TSRA. It will take awhile for front to clear with a prolonged period of -RA through 04Z. Improvement to MVFR looks to be delayed now for the overnight period Sat night. //ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE... Medium on LIFR duration. High on remaining elements.
