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 29, 6:52 AM EST, 3 hours 8 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 29, 6:52 AM EST, 3 hours 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 652 AM EST Sat Dec 29 2018 .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 402 AM EST Sat Dec 29 2018/ SHORT TERM /Today through Sunday/... Surface front slowly pushing through the forecast area this morning. As skies have cleared across north and central Georgia, saturated grounds and very light winds have aided in the development of patchy to dense fog. Dense fog advisory will continue through 9am along and north of a Pine Mountain to Jackson to Comer line. Should see a respite in showers through late this morning, but as deep southwest flow continues and several weak disturbances moves through the upper level flow, should see chance of showers increase particularly across central Georgia beginning this afternoon through tomorrow in the vicinity of the surface front. Even with mostly cloudy skies through the period, southwest flow will bring above normal temperatures across the forecast area through the period. Atwell LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/... Stationary front stalled just south of forecast area, will start to lift north Sunday night through Monday as the upper low lifts through the southern Plains into the Great Lakes area by Monday night. The next upper low digs into the desert southwest through midweek as the surface front moves across the gulf coast states and Georgia. Surface front is slow to move through the forecast area and with some instability noted with the front on Tuesday have continued slight chance of thunder for Tuesday. extended models diverge with handling of the next system, with GFS taking a faster and more southern route with the surface low/front. As the upper low ejects across the gulf coast states Wednesday into Thursday a surface low develops over east Texas and moves across the gulf coast and Georgia on Thursday we should see an end to rain/precipitation. While there continues to be some uncertainty if cold air can move across portions of north Georgia Wednesday night into Thursday we should see a mix of rain/snow with light accumulations - of less than an inch - possible. Have stayed close to guidance temperatures through the extended periods. Atwell && .AVIATION... 12Z Update... IFR/LIFR CIGS and visibilities with patchy to dense fog at most TAF sites, ATL/FTY have MVFR/VFR CIGs. Should see improvement through 14-15Z with brief MVFR/VFR conditions possible ahead of showers moving back into TAF sites this afternoon and evening, after 20Z. Winds will be northwest and generally light at 3-7kts. Cigs and visibilities will again deteriorate to MVFR/IFR after 00z. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... Low to medium confidence all elements.

A Dense Fog Advisory will continue for portions of north Georgia through 10 AM. Visibilities of one quarter of a mile or less can be expected. See /ATLNPWFFC/ for more details. The heavy rainfall has moved out of the area. However, several rivers, creeks, and streams remain out of their banks with many water levels continuing to rise. River Flooding concerns are highest along and north of the I-85 corridor. Across the area ponding on the roadways and nuisance flooding in poor drainage and low-lying areas will likely persist into the evening hours. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday... Several rounds of showers will continue into next week, with isolated thunderstorms possible Tuesday. Much of the area could see an additional 2 to 4 inches of rainfall, with locally higher amounts possible. This rainfall will continue 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.
