The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Apr 14, 3:39 PM EDT, 2 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 3:39 PM EDT, 2 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 339 PM EDT Sun Apr 14 2019 ...Another round of severe storms possibly developing in north Georgia late afternoon into evening... .SHORT TERM /Rest of today through Monday Night/... While the first prefrontal wave of precip and embedded severe/tornado potential is exiting over portions of east central Georgia, the next focus will be with possible convective redevelopment along a confluence zone in north GA/central TN. SPC has this area in a meso discussion to where the shear and some increasing instability with previous clearing could allow for another round of strong to severe storms capable of hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. The HRRR and Nam Nest models have consistently indicated such convection occurring over the last 2 days of runs. Cannot rule out another Tornado Watch in the next hour or two. Otherwise drier air will build in tonight through Monday Night into midweek as a strong ridge builds in. Baker && .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Saturday/... Forecast looks largely on track with next storm system still in the late Thurs/Friday period and lingering upper trough influence going into the weekend. No changes made and previous discussion follows... Baker .LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/... Extended forecast starts with high pressure over the area, lasting through mid week. Next system moves in late Thursday, and have backed off pops Wednesday given the slightly later model solutions. Strong frontal system looks well organized and brings the next chance for severe storms. SPC already highlighting the area for Day 6 and 7 severe threat risk, and so this system will certainly be the forecast concern through the latter half of the week. A secondary wave swings through the long-wave trough Friday night into Saturday, keeping chance pops in the forecast. High pressure returns to the state late Saturday. Saturday, expect the coolest temperatures for the week, with highs only in the 60s, and lows largely in the mid to upper 40s by Sunday morning. 31 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... Storms and rain in first round exiting east, where will need to watch some redevelopment here in the next few hours across mainly the northern sites. Cannot rule out strong to severe storms given the environment and will update TAFs once trends are assessed if need to add TS or higher winds. Otherwise cu mainly in the 2500-5000 ft range. Could again have MVFR cigs overnight in the north then scatter out for Monday. Enhanced SW to west winds 14-18 kts gusting 22-28 kts then slightly lower Monday out of the WNW. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium on redevelopment of additional storms for northern sites this afternoon into evening. Medium on overnight cigs. High on all else. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
