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 Jun 8, 4:45 PM EDT, 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 4:45 PM EDT, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 445 PM EDT Sat Jun 8 2019 .UPDATE... Decided to add a few counties along the southeastern edge of the current Flash Flood Watch. 48-hour rainfall totals of 2-5 inches stretch as far southeast as Columbus, Macon and Warrenton, with the potential for additional rounds of heavy rainfall over the next 24 hours. 20 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 245 PM EDT Sat Jun 8 2019/ SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/... The main concern continues to be the potential for rounds of heavy rain. Showers and storms are developing over se AL and riding the flow up the I-85 corridor into the the ATL metro area and n GA, where it is less unstable at this time. This pattern and the potential for future rounds of heavy rain prompted the need for a Flash Flood Watch for much of north and portions of west central GA. This is due to a moist upper level low pressure system over the OH/TN valleys pumping deep moisture over the area with disturbances riding in the flow. The upper system is forecast to weaken some and drift over the forecast area through the period. In time, this should diminish the heavy rainfall potential although a moist airmass will continue over the area. Forecast low temperatures are running about 4-10 degrees above normal across much of the area tonight and similar for Sunday night. Forecast high temperatures are running about 2-7 degrees below normal on Sunday. Overall confidence is medium. BDL LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/... No big changes made to the long term. Overall pattern still the same with the upper low deepening over the southeast states and becoming a broad trough before moving off the Atlantic Coast. Likely or higher pops still look reasonable across much of the area. Surface boundary seems to stall across GA for the first of the week as a wave develops on the boundary across south GA. Pops taper off through the end of the week and Friday and Saturday look dry. Rainfall totals for the period through Wednesday still range from two to four inches with some areas near five mainly northeast...and this is in addition to what has already fallen today. 41 PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 356 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2019/ LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Friday/... Rain, Rain, Go Away! That will be the feeling by the time we start the long term period, but there's no relief in site until Thursday. By Monday morning, the low-pressure system that will be anchored over the Southeastern U.S. will be partially swept up by a shortwave trough moving through the Eastern CONUS. A cold front will also be moving into the area Monday morning as well but is expected to stall through the forecast area. While most of the energy will be swept up, some remnant of the low-pressure will remain and continue to pump moisture from the Gulf into the forecast area. A second shortwave trough will dig into the area by Wednesday night, which will sweep up the rest of the low-pressure system, push a cold front completely through the forecast area and replace the current airmass with a dry area of high pressure. There will still be a 15% to 30% chance for rain on Thursday as the rain move out of the area but afterwords clear skies are expected for the first time all week. Highs in the upper 70s and 80s expected through the week. Thiem AVIATION... 18Z Update... Showers and storms the main concern causing highly variable aviation conditions. Potential for IFR/MVFR ceilings overnight. Surface winds ranging E-S 10 kts or less away from thunderstorms. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... High confidence for wind direction predominating on the east side. Low to medium confidence for all other elements. BDL && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
