$$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 6, 10:05 PM EST, 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 10:05 PM EST, 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1005 PM EST Thu Feb 6 2020 .UPDATE... Mainly tweaks to temperatures and pops in the evening and overnight hours as a line of strong to severe thunderstorms crossed through the area and temperatures start to decrease. All of the convection has exited the area, prompting the Tornado Watch to be cancelled. Behind the storms, we are left with pockets of showers and drizzle across the area. With the overall threat for flash flooding ending, the Flash Flood Watch will likely be cancelled soon. Although some ongoing flooding may continue due to heavy runoff from the earlier heavy rainfall, the main threat will continue to be river flooding as the rain drains into the creeks and rivers. Rain showers are still expected to continue on and off in the overnight hours before mostly clearing out early tomorrow. The potential still remains for some of the showers overnight to transition to a rain/snow mix across northern Georgia and snow across far northern Georgia, mainly in the highest elevations. Accumulations are still possible across the higher elevations with amounts around a trace up to half an inch possible, with some locally higher amounts around an inch possible. An SPS has been issued across the northern counties to address the potential wintry weather.

The line of showers and thunderstorms that have brought a round of severe weather and torrential flooding rainfall. The severe threat looks to exit the forecast area by 8 PM tonight with the expiration of the ongoing Tornado Watch. However, ongoing flooding issues may continue with heavy runoff and another half inch of rain expected behind the main line of storms. A Flash Flood Watch will continue through Friday morning with several reports of severe flooding ongoing in north Georgia. As heavy rain filters out and isolated light showers move into the area behind them the colder air moving in behind the front will lead to possible snow showers and flurries across north Georgia Friday morning. Accumulations around an inch may be possible on western slopes in the Georgia Blue Ridge mountains. Further flurries may continue on Saturday morning as well with another brief round of lighter rainfall. Thiem LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/... Given ongoing severe weather today only tweeks were made to the extended forecast. The previous discussion follows... PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 416 AM EST Thu Feb 6 2020/ The first portion of the long term will be the rare dry period but as has been the case, this will not last for long. A secondary shortwave will drop through the midwest and eventually the Mississippi Valley Sat morning with surface reflection passing well north of the area. GFS continues to be most aggressive with this feature and the associated moisture although the ECMWF has trended slightly wetter as well. Still going to use a blend which yields likely pops over the far NE zones through Sat afternoon. Timing will be critical as we could see enough cold air lock in to allow for a rain and snow mix over mountains primarily. ECMWF indicates greater snow potential over a larger area than the GFS but will lean toward the lower amounts which agrees with WPC. This would yield a dusting to maybe two tenths of an inch over the northeast mountains. Another brief dry period for Sunday before next system moves in quickly Monday into Tuesday and if you believe the ECMWF which stalls the frontal boundary further north. Regardless, another period of decent rainfall of over and inch. Not as impressive as the current system but with ongoing flooding likely, this will only exacerbate the problem. Although instability will be quite minimal, did add a period of thunder for Tuesday afternoon as the activity transitions into Central GA. Depending on which long term solution verifies, we could see a break on Wednesday but just as likely that front hangs around and provides the focus for additional activity. Frontal boundary will move through on Thu with good agreement this far out. An additional inch of rain is likely with this system and possibly quite a bit more in the far extended as models show front stalling and additional waves impacting the area. Deese AVIATION... 00Z Update... Mix bag of cigs across the area is expected to be dominated by MVFR cigs through much of the taf period with IFR cigs possible around the ATL sites through 06-08Z tonight. Some reduced vsbys will continue over the next several hours with moderate to heavy rain in the area. Widespread precip should clear taf sites over the next several hours with spotty residual showers possible. In addition there is the potential early Friday morning for some snow flurries at the atl metro taf sites, but probability too low to mention in taf. MVFR cigs should improve to VFR Friday afternoon. SW winds should transition to strong W winds tonight around 02-04Z. Winds Friday will be strong as well around 10-16kts with gusts at least up to 25kts. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Low to medium confidence on CIGS. Medium confidence on all other elements. Reaves && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
