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.
