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 Apr 21, 3:25 AM EDT, 1 hour 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 3:25 AM EDT, 1 hour 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 325 AM EDT Sun Apr 21 2019 .SHORT TERM /Today through Monday/... As the upper low shifts eastward into the Carolinas, weak upper level ridging and surface high pressure will dominate through the short term period. The upper level clouds are diminishing over northeast GA and with light to calm winds some patchy fog has developed over northwest GA. Any fog has been very patchy and expect that trend to continue with visibilities of 3SM or higher. As the surface high pressure builds into the area later this morning into early afternoon, there is some tightening gradients which could bring gusty winds near 15-20mph across the area between 10am-4pm. Temperatures will rebound from morning lows which are running up to 10 degrees below normal this morning to near normals with 65-75 degrees expected this afternoon under clear skies. Morning lows Monday will still be on the cool side, as clear skies with light to near calm winds will allow good radiational cooling, however they will be slightly warmer than this morning. Monday afternoon highs will trend toward or just above normals for this time of year. Atwell .LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/... Dry weather continues to start the long term into Wednesday. Decent moisture moves to the area on Thursday ahead of low pressure aloft over the mid U.S. with the best rain chances favoring n GA. Moisture increases along with rain chances on Friday as the upper system moves across the se U.S. The GFS and European are inconsistent with the moisture on Saturday with the GFS moving the moisture out and the European lingering the moisture over the se CWA. This overall progression will likely be adjusted with time. Some instability on Thursday and Friday. Will need to monitor Friday for better thunderstorms chances with time. BDL && .AVIATION... 06Z Update... High clouds will slowly diminish, with VFR conditions. Skies should be mostly clear by 12Z. Winds will be light out of the west initially with calm possible through 10-12Z. Winds will remain WEST and increase with gusts possible to 16-18kts 15-24Z. //ATL Confidence...06Z Update...
