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 Feb 20, 6:43 AM EST, 4 hours 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 20, 6:43 AM EST, 4 hours 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 643 AM EST Wed Feb 20 2019 .UPDATE... Updated for the 12Z Aviation Discussion. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 346 AM EST Wed Feb 20 2019/ SHORT TERM /Today through Thursday/... No major changes to the overall pattern as models continue in good agreement through the short term. The southwest flow aloft will continue to bring abundant Gulf moisture over the CWA. The main focusing mechanism today will be upglide along a warm front that will push across north Georgia this afternoon and evening. Until then, low clouds, drizzle and intermittent rain will continue across north Georgia through this evening. The high winds experienced earlier are diminishing and the Wind Advisory will be allowed to expire at 12Z today. As the warm front pushes northeast this afternoon and evening, the atmosphere will destabilize enough to allow MUCAPES of 500-800 to spread across the CWA. This will be enough for isolated tsra development this afternoon and tonight. A cold front will move into the north Georgia Thursday. GFS/NAM/ECMWF want to push it through most of the CWA by 00Z Fri. With a parallel flow aloft, the front may not be able to make it through the CWA. Some of the hi-res models keep the front across north GA Thursday and then lift it north into Tennessee late Thursday afternoon. Due to the uncertainty, will continue with the best chances of showers/isolated tsra across north GA. QPF values by models and WPC have come down a little, but at this time do not want to make any changes to the current watch timing and configuration as this is a prolonged event. 17 LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Tuesday/... The long term period begins with a front stalled in the vicinity as multiple waves of precipitation impact the area. As such have kept likely to categorical pops across northern Georgia through Saturday. As high pressure moves off the east coast and noses down the Appalachians, a wedge builds in on Friday and looks to remain until Saturday. This will help to enhance precipitation across the area. Continuous high PWs and instability will result in periods of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall across the area through Saturday. With multiple rivers across northern Georgia already in flood, concerns for river flooding and flash flooding will continue as these rounds of precipitation impact the area, especially across portions of northern Georgia. The Flood Watch remains in effect through Saturday morning. Make sure to stay updated to the forecast for any changes to the watch. The next system is forecast to impact the area late Saturday into Sunday as a surface low develops across the midwest and pushes a cold front through the state on Sunday. PW's remain high so periods of heavy rainfall may be possible. Overall, instability isn't as impressive as previous shifts, but chances for thunder remain in the forecast. The good news is we should see some drier weather on Monday before chances for rain return on Tuesday. Temperatures through the weekend are expected to be mostly above average in the 60s and 70s, aside from those within the wedge where highs are expected to be closer to the 50s. After the weekend system, high temperatures are expected to be closer to seasonal norms. Reaves && .AVIATION... 12Z Update... A mix of IFR/LIFR cigs will continue through the forecast. Winds will be easterly with a few gusts early this morning. Winds will become south to southwest tonight as the warm front lifts north of ATL/AHN. Best chances of rain will be north of ATL/AHN, however as the cold front approaches tonight, chances of rain will increase. There is a risk of tsra this afternoon and tonight, however risk is too low to mention in the TAF. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... Medium confidence. 17 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
