$$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 Aug 1, 8:19 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 8:19 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 819 PM EDT Wed Aug 1 2018 .UPDATE... Updated for the 00Z Aviation Forecast. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are moving north through the region this evening. Expect this trend to continue with the better convective activity (which spawned a tornado) to transition eastward through the next couple of hours. The mesoscale environment to house severe thunderstorms and tornado development looks marginal at this point. MUCAPE values are still between 1500-2000j/kg across east central GA with weak shear and helicity. Therefore, there is still the potential (albeit slim) for thunderstorm development with weak rotation. We will continue to monitor this area through the evening. Overnight the helicity and especially instability diminish. Flooding concerns continue as rain continues to spread northward. The hardest hit areas were across far NE GA this morning and afternoon (2-4 inches) with this diminishing activity migrating across the metro and points east. For the rest of the area, locations received 0.5-1 inches of rain. We anticipate the next couple of waves of precipitation to move north into the metro toward AHN overnight...also impacting CSG and MCN. Another half an inch to an inch can be expected with locally heavier amounts possible. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 305 PM EDT Wed Aug 1 2018/ SHORT TERM /Tonight through Thursday Night/... Showers are ongoing throughout most of our area and some thunderstorms have begun to develop in the southern part of the region and are expected to become more widespread late in the afternoon and into the evening. Models are in good agreement that the deep upper level longwave trough will remain nearly stationary to the west of our area over the Mississippi River Valley. As a result, north and central Georgia will remain under the influence of southwesterly upper level flow ahead of this trough, which will keep deep tropical moisture in place over the area today and Thursday. Model guidance is also consistent in indicating that PWAT values will range from between 1.8 to 2.2 inches across north and central Georgia through at least Thursday as a result of the tropical moisture. Several shortwaves embedded within the moist flow will continue to move northeastward through our area which will keep rain chances high through the end of the week. A combination of diurnal destabilization and deep-layer shear due to the the strong southwesterly flow aloft could lead to a chance for some isolated strong to severe thunderstorms. Some flash flooding impacts have already been observed in association with this system, and the concern could increase as both the soils remain saturated, and the flow becomes parallel to storm motion, which could allow for training of heavy precipitation. As a result, the Flash Flood Watch will continue as is. Because of the widespread rain and increased cloud coverage, daytime high temperatures will be below average for this time of year. Highs today and Thursday will range from the upper 70s in north Georgia to the mid 80s in east-central Georgia. Nighttime low temperatures will be around normal with lows in the upper 60s and low 70s. King LONG TERM /Friday through Wednesday/... Did not make any fundamental changes to the previous Extended Forecast trends. Medium-range models still in pretty good agreement and consistent with recent runs showing high pressure, both surface and aloft, building back into the region from the western Atlantic. This nudges the upper trough that has been plaguing the region back to the northwest and returns the forecast area to a more summertime regime of scattered diurnal convection and near normal temperatures. 20 HYDROLOGY... The flow aloft remains parallel to the surface flow at least through Friday/early Saturday. This means that with the SW/S flow aloft and at the surface, the training of storms is expected. The axis of concern still remains about the same...with the highest rainfall amounts still expected along and just north of the Interstate 85 corridor. Tuesday served to prime the CWFA with rainfall amounts generally between half an inch to an inch CWFA- wide. There were some locally higher amounts of 2" to 3" along and north of the I-85 corridor with some isolated 4" to 6" amounts. The soils should be pretty well saturated, especially within the Flood Watch area. The deep moisture will continue to funnel northward Thursday night and will be extending the FFA through 12Z Friday. The QPF should begin to taper off a bit for most areas on Friday, but may have to consider extending the FFA for the NE GA mtns into Friday night/early Saturday. However, confidence is not high enough to do that at this time. && .AVIATION... 00Z Update... Widespread showers continue to move north through the metro TAF sites as well as CSG this evening. AHN and MCN are observing showers and isolated thunderstorms. Activity will be on going through the overnight as waves of moisture push north. This has resulted in a mix bag of cigs and vsbys across all TAF sites over the next several hours. Consensus is for MVFR/IFR cigs to prevail through most of the overnight hours, possibly dropping to LIFR across the metro TAF sites and CSG. Vsbys around 4-6SM. MVFR cigs through the day tomorrow with ongoing showers and afternoon thunderstorms. Variable winds overnight becoming ESE by late tonight through the afternoon. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Medium confidence on ceilings. Medium/high confidence on all other elements. 26 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through tonight. Flooding will be the primary weather hazard today, but a few strong storms, or an isolated severe thunderstorm, cannot be ruled out. The potential for localized flooding is high, especially in urban centers, low lying areas and poor drainage areas where moderate to heavy rain persists for extended periods of time. Any strong thunderstorm that develops will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts. As soils become more saturated, even a sub-severe thunderstorm can down trees. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday... The Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through 8 AM Friday. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected each day with the heaviest rainfall expected through Thursday night. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested but spotters are encouraged to submit reports of severe weather through the web by going to weather.gov/atlanta.
