$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 27, 3:12 PM EDT, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 3:12 PM EDT, 2 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 312 PM EDT Thu Jun 27 2019 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Friday Night/... The upper ridge will remain over the southeast through the period. A weak upper low in the vicinity of middle TN/northern AL is forecast to stay to our west. The air mass is still generally dry...however afternoon instability has increased. A few showers or thunderstorms are possible although there is not much of a trigger. Looks like the east central sections of GA remain the most stable. Watching the complex in AL to see if it continues to develop to the east. These storms may be associated with the TN upper low. Have increased the pops a bit in the northwest this evening to account for that. Not much change in the pattern for the remainder of the period. Looking at basically a diurnal pattern to convection. East to southeast winds will help to increase moisture and pops are a bit higher and more widespread. 41 .LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/... Only tweaks to the long term based on the latest guidance. BDL PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... Forecast period should continue to be mainly influenced by some lingering enhanced moisture trapped in a broad upper ridge across the northern Gulf states. With conditional instability present, have chance pops most days for daily diurnally driven convection and slight pops in the overnight periods. Temps generally close to climo norms through weekend then trend about 5 degrees above normal for early next week with amplifying ridge. Baker && AVIATION... 18Z Update... VFR conditions are expected to predominate across the forecast area through this forecast period. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected...mainly after 20z. Coverage is not expected to be high enough to include anything higher than a VCSH in the TAFs..but may have to update if storms threaten. Winds will remain on the east side through the period. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium to high all elements. 41 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
