$$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 7, 6:00 AM EST, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 7, 6:00 AM EST, 2 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 600 AM EST Fri Feb 7 2020 .UPDATE FOR AVIATION... PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 335 AM EST Fri Feb 7 2020/ SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/... A short wave in the upper flow will move across the area this morning. The main concern is will there be accumulating snow over the far northern counties. The airmass is getting colder and you can't rule out some small accumulations, most so at the higher elevations and probably most likely on grassy surfaces and not so much the roads. Maybe a 1/2 inch or less. Otherwise the lingering light rain/showers will come to an end over areas farther south. The winds have already increased for some areas and spotty wind advisory criteria winds(20 mph sustained) can be expected but not widespread enough for an advisory. The winds will decrease quickly come evening. The models are rather inconsistent with another short wave for Saturday. Depending on the timing and if precip can be produced, there could be a rain/snow shower mix and possible small accumulations in the northeast mountains. Forecast high temperatures are running about 8 to 15 degrees below normal across the area for today and about 1 to 10 degrees below normal for Saturday. Forecast low temperatures are running within a few degrees of normal for tonight. Overall confidence is medium to high except low for snow amounts. BDL LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/... The long term portion begins with exiting clipper type system and high pressure building in its wake. This will be one of the few dry periods in the extended portion and will be a brief one. The high just north of the area through will allow for a rather cold night but seasonal with upper 20s mountains and around freezing for the remainder of North GA. We should squeeze out one additional dry day on Sunday but SW flow aloft and departing surface high should allow for above normal temps again with around 60 for the Atlanta metro and mid to upper 60s for Central GA. Next system will move in on Mon with good agreement among the long term guidance on timing. Perturbations in the SW flow aloft will allow for categorical pops by Monday afternoon. Unfortunately, rainfall amounts with this system are trending upwards with another 2 inches possible in areas that do not need it, namely far North GA. Even worse is the trend in especially the GFS of stalling the front over the area through Tuesday with an additional 2 inches transitioning to the metro portions. Overall for the event, the GFS is showing 2 to 4 inches which almost certainly create additional flooding concerns for next week. We never do get out of the SW flow and this just allows wave after wave to form along the frontal boundary bringing periods of moderate rainfall through the entire extended. Total QPF from the GFS for the extended period is on the order of 5 inches across portions of the area. The only periods of thunder for the extended will be for portions of Central GA Tuesday into Wednesday. Deese && .AVIATION... 12Z Update... A mixed bag of MVFR/VFR ceilings will improve through the day. Lingering light rain and Light snow up north will end.

Although the rain has ended across the area, flooding will continue on many of the creeks, streams and rivers across the area. A light rain and snow mix will be possible across far north Georgia early this morning, mainly in the higher terrain. In the higher elevations, accumulations of a trace up to a 1/2 inch of snow will be possible, with locally higher amounts around an inch across the highest ridgetops. For more information please refer to our Special Weather Statement. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday... Light rain and snow mix will be possible across far north Georgia on Saturday morning, mainly in the higher terrain. A dusting to less than a half an inch will be possible for the Saturday system across the Northeast mountains. Additional moderate rainfall from multiple storm systems through the extended will exacerbate ongoing river flood issues. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

As much colder air rushes in across the area behind a strong storm system, scattered rain showers may mix with or change to snow showers before ending early afternoon. There is the chance to see some snow accumulations but mainly confined to the highest elevations of the north Georgia mountains, from near Amicalola Falls State Park up to the Georgia and North Carolina state line near Hiawassee. In these areas, a dusting to 1/2 inch of snow is possible, with locally higher amounts around 1 inch over the highest ridgetops. Elsewhere across far north Georgia, a few snow flurries or snow showers may mix with light rain showers late tonight into early Friday morning. No snow accumulations or impacts are expected as morning low temperatures remain above freezing, in the mid to upper 30s. Winds will also be quite strong today with frequent gusts to around 25 mph possible across the area. Along with the saturated soils, these winds will likely bring a few trees down today.
