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, 2:55 PM EST, 1 hour 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 28, 2:55 PM EST, 1 hour 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 255 PM EST Fri Dec 28 2018 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/... Minor break in the extremely wet pattern through much of this forecast period as the cold front and band of diminishing convection settles south and east into central/south Georgia. Patchy light rain will remain possible tonight and during the day Saturday across parts of north Georgia, but widespread moderate rainfall will remain south of the areas that received 2-6 inches of rainfall over the past 24 hours. With several rivers still rising and many still well above flood stage across the area, I plan on continuing the Flash Flood Watch at this time, despite diminishing rainfall. Better rain chances Start spreading back north through the latter half of the forecast period, but amounts are expected to remain modest through Saturday night. Instability minimal for thunder through the short term forecast period. 20 .LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/... No major changes made to the extended forecast. All in all the wet period is expected to continue through the extended 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/01 && .AVIATION... 18Z UPDATE... Mixture of mainly MVFR to LIFR conditions in the band of moderate to heavy precipitation stretching from near the KAHN TAF site across KMCN to KCSG, generally MVFR/VFR outside of this band including the Atlanta Metro area TAFs. Band of convection will continue to sink southeast across the area, clearing the southern and eastern TAF sites this afternoon. Will see most areas returning to MVFR/IFR conditions after 00Z, continuing through 18Z Saturday. Southeast to southwest winds 6-12kt, becoming southwest to west by 20-24Z. //ATL CONFIDENCE...18Z UPDATE...

From heavy rain since yesterday evening, ongoing runoff and flooding issues exist across much of north and west-central Georgia, especially along and north of I-85. Numerous creeks and streams around the Atlanta metro area are in flood at this time. The heavy rain has ended across these areas but localized flooding will likely persist into the evening hours. .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 an additional 2 to 4 inches of rainfall, with locally higher amounts possible. This rainfall will contiunue to elevate the river and stream flood threat, especially since the grounds are saturated 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. DJN
