$$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 Jan 1, 6:40 AM EST, 4 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 1, 6:40 AM EST, 4 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 640 AM EST Wed Jan 1 2020 .UPDATE... 12z Aviation update below. Baker && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 406 AM EST Wed Jan 1 2020/ SHORT TERM /Today through Thursday/... While today should see continued dry and seasonable conditions with a lax in the gradient winds as the sfc high center slides into the region, focus shifts moreso on Thursday ahead of the next system. As the upper trough amplifies across the central Conus and phases with a lobe of energy farther south, Gulf moisture transport will greatly increase across the western and northern CWA throughout the day Thursday. Have slight to chance pops for showers across the western and northern majorities beginning with initial isentropic upglide and warm frontal progression Thursday morning, then ramp up to likely and categorical pops through the day mainly along and west of the I-85 corridor. Some showers could be quite efficient given the high PWAT regime of near or above 1.5 inches and potential training. With increased WPC QPF storm totals maxing out to 3-4 inches in the far NW and inclusion of a Day 2 Slight to Marginal Excessive Rainfall Outlook, have coordinated with northern neighboring offices to issue a Flood Watch. This extends along and northwest of a Rome to Fairmount to Chatsworth line from Thursday afternoon through Friday, and may end up being extended farther eastward in future updates. Baker && .LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Tuesday/... The long term will begin in the midst of a Flood Watch for Northwest Georgia, as a corridor of heavy rain sets up across the Southeast and Tennessee River Valley. Synoptically, a deep longwave trough will be positioned across the Southern Rockies and Mexico, with southwesterly flow providing a large fetch of moisture into the region. A surface low pressure will form and move across the Midwest by Friday. As the low moves into the Lower Great Lakes, a cold front will sweep through on Friday evening, ending the heavier rain. Model guidance is also forming some wrap- around precip for far northeastern Georgia Saturday Night, perfectly timed with the upper-level trough axis which will cool low-level temps enough for some very light snow flurries. Following the next storm system, dry weather is in storms to begin the next week, after that model guidance diverges significantly with the next storm system expected a full day apart with some long-term model runs. Consistency will improve with time, but for now, expecting just a chance for precip, with no definitive time frame, while splitting the difference with temperatures. Despite a mix of cooler temps and precip, if winter weather forms for far north Georgia, it would be early Wednesday morning...according to the GFS solution...but no accumulations are expected given how much variance and little confidence the Day 6-7 forecast holds. Thiem && .AVIATION... 12Z Update... VFR conditions thru period with some current cirrus and gradual increase in alto coverage late today into Thursday. Expecting lower of cigs in 3500-5000 ft range after 16z Thursday with possible MVFR near KATL after the end of fcst. West winds 5-8 kts today shifting more SW and becoming light after 00z Thursday. Should have SE shift at KATL after about 10z Thursday. Shower chances on the increase in 12-18z Thurs period and thereafter. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... High on all elements.
