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, 5 hours 7 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 28, 6:37 AM EST, 5 hours 7 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.

.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.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North and Central Georgia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

Showers and a few thunderstorms will move across the area through
tonight. Locally heavy rain and brief strong wind gusts can be
expected, especially in the higher terrain of north Georgia. A
Flash Flood Watch is in effect through tomorrow morning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday...

Several rounds of showers will continue into next week, with
isolated thunderstorms possible Monday and Tuesday. Much of the
area could see 2 to 4 inches of additional rainfall, with locally
higher amounts possible. This rainfall will increase the river
and stream flood threat once again as grounds remain wet from
recent rains. Localized flash flooding will also be a concern in
flood prone areas.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
