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, 3:05 PM EST, 2 hours 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 7, 3:05 PM EST, 2 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
305 PM EST Fri Feb 7 2020

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday Night/...

Mostly cloudy skies expected to break up this evening allowing temps
to fall to the low- to mid-30s tonight and tomorrow morning. A h850
shortwave is expected to sweep through the southeast tonight and
tomorrow morning, with relatively smaller PWAT values but enough to
produce a tenth to a half an inch across the northern CWA. With
temps just above the surface below freezing this means winter precip
will be involved, and even though QPF is expected to be low, it will
be enough with an approximate 7.5:1 snow-water ratio for minor snow
accumulations to occur with a rain/snow mix across North Georgia.
Only about a tenth to a half inch of snow accumulations outside the
mountainous regions are expected but with rains and warm ground
temps, if anything falls it probably won't stick around long. In
mountainous regions up north this could be a different story.
Embedded in colder temps, areas of NW Georgia could see 1-2 inches,
with higher elevations along the spine and mountaintops of the GA
Blue Ridge mountains could see up to 4 inches in some isolated
locations. This has prompted a Winter Weather Advisory for the
majority of Northern GA. Temps may climb into the upper 30s before
the transition from snow to rain occurs with some slick spots
possible where any accumulations occur. Temps tomorrow night will
also drop back into the low-30s for N GA, which may continue to
cause some slick spots Sunday morning.

Thiem

.LONG TERM /Sunday through Friday/...

The long term begins with a brief dry period extending into Sunday
as a weak ridge passes across the southeast. We return rapidly back
into southwest flow aloft that lasts for the remainder of the
period. At the surface...a front stalls across GA and a couple of
short waves track along the boundary...bringing periods of moderate
rain and a few thunderstorms throughout the period. No significant
changes have been made to the forecast.

AVIATION...
18Z Update...
Mostly VFR w/ patchy MVFR CIGS should clear and/or break up
through the evening as winds begin to lighten then calm. Between
06-10Z a shift from W to SSE likely but most sites will be VRB to
Calm during transition before winds become light early Sat
morning, before becoming breezy out of the SW by the afternoon.
Biggest concern will be the SHRA and SHSN chances for northern
sites between 12-18Z, window for SN narrowed between 13-16Z for
ATL sites and 14-18Z for AHN. Southern sites expecting SCT -SHRA.
Patchy IFR CIGS also possible with and after SNRA chances late
morning.

//ATL Confidence...18Z Update...
Medium on CIG timing and SNRA chances.
High on all other elements.
