$$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 9, 1:35 PM EDT, 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 1:35 PM EDT, 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED for Aviation National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 135 PM EDT Sun Jun 9 2019 .Update... No changes to the forecast. Overall pops still look okay. Not confident enough to try and make changes since showers and tunderstorms just starting to increase. 41 .Previous... .UPDATE... Near term forecast still appears to be on track. Area of convection over westcentral and southwest GA SE of Columbus continues to grow in size and intensity. Will be adding Stewart and Webster to flash flood watch and may need to consider additional extensions to areas further east. While most of those areas did not see heavy rain yesterday though there was a stripe of heavy rainfall over Taylor, Upson and Crawford counties which is currently in the watch. SNELSON && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 409 AM EDT Sun Jun 9 2019/ SHORT TERM /Today through Monday/... Main concern in the short term period is will there be any moderate to heavy rainfall and flash flooding. While this time yesterday active/vigorous convection was going on in EC AL and WC GA, seeing little in the way of convection tonight. Just scattered showers. Upper low is pretty much over or just west of the center of CWA and finally expected to move east of the area this afternoon and tonight, so lift and warm advection will be limited compared to yesterday. Still, with such high amounts of rainfall observed yesterday, will not take much to renew flash flooding concerns. If we get a break in the clouds, instability could fire up a stronger round of convection over middle and eastern GA this afternoon. Have removed NW GA counties from flash flood watch but left other counties in. While the upper low/trough axis will continue slowly plodding east of us while filling tonight and Monday, will still see chance for showers wrapping around the periphery of low. Not expecting any heavy rain in this pattern as rich moisture will be well to our east during this time. SNELSON LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/... By Monday night, a mid-level shortwave trough axis accompanied by an elongated surface cold front will be moving through the area, and is expected to give the forecast area its first organized break from the ongoing rainfall. While there will still be a chance of rain dependent on how far the frontal system pushes into the area, it looks to at least be more concentrated for southern and eastern Georgia by Tuesday, as a surface high pressure looks to keep conditions drier for north Georgia for a short period. By Wednesday, a second stronger mid-level shortwave will influence the region and act to strengthen a surface low-pressure system forming and moving out of the Florida panhandle. As the low moves towards the northeast through Wednesday and Wednesday night, rain chances will increase for the entire forecast area. However, by Thursday morning the low will have moved past the area, replacing out tropical airmass with a dry, continental airmass following another cold front. High pressure then looks to move into the area by Friday and Saturday, giving our first days of minimal Pops to the forecast area. Thiem && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... Lingering MVFR ceilings aided by east winds and showers or thunderstorms. Some VFR possible late afternoon but should be mostly MVFR. Ceilings lowering into IFR again overnight with some gradual improvement Monday. Expect scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening...less numerous Monday. Winds mostly east but will be variable due to convection. Light and variable tonight then becoming west to northwest by the end of the taf period. 41 //ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
