$$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 13, 12:54 PM EST, 1 hour 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 13, 12:54 PM EST, 1 hour 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1254 PM EST Mon Jan 13 2020 .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1150 AM EST Mon Jan 13 2020/ UPDATE... Axis of showers will continue to slowly lift northward through this afternoon. Expecting showers to be off and on through the short term periods, and have issued a Flash Flood Watch for north and portions of central GA through 7am Wednesday morning. Overall forecast trends look good, have made tweaks to hourly and afternoon max temperatures across north Georgia where good cloud cover should keep temperatures 5 degrees below the previous forecast high. PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 425 AM EST Mon Jan 13 2020/ SHORT TERM /Today through Tuesday/... The short term period begins with the warm front moving slowly northward across the forecast area. Current radar shows a line of showers and thunderstorms extending along an axis along and south of the I-85 corridor along the leading edge of the frontal boundary. Thunderstorms within this line are not severe, but are nonetheless capable of producing locally heavy rainfall. The front, along with the showers and thunderstorms, will continue to slowly advance into north Georgia during the morning hours. Low clouds and reduced visibilities have furthermore developed in the areas behind and south of the warm front. Widespread fog is in place across portions of central Georgia, with some locations in the far southern tier of the forecast area experiencing dense fog with visibilities reduced to a quarter mile or less. As a result, a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for those areas until 9 AM EST this morning. Persistent southwesterly flow aloft remains in place over the southeastern CONUS, keeping a warm, moist airmass over the region and contributing to dewpoint values in the low to mid 60s across most of north and central Georgia, and precipitable water values between 1.2" and 1.6". Later during the day today, the warm front will stall and become stationary across north Georgia, remaining draped across the area into Tuesday. Likely to categorical PoPs are expected ahead of the warm front, primarily across north Georgia through today and Tuesday, with progressively diminishing PoPs behind the front. Deep moisture and high dewpoints as a result of the southwesterly flow aloft remaining over the southeastern CONUS will allow for sufficient instability to warrant isolated to scattered thunderstorms where showers occur. Due to the continued warm and moist flow from the Gulf, temperatures will be well above climatological normals through the short term period. Low temperatures this morning are expected to range from the low 50s in far north Georgia to the low 60s in east-central Georgia. These temperatures are 20-28 degrees higher than the daily average across most of the forecast area. High temperatures today and Tuesday will range from the upper 60s in north Georgia to the upper 70s in east central Georgia, between 16-24 degrees above average area-wide. King LONG TERM /Tuesday Night through Sunday/... Will be short and sweet here with the long term discussion given the ongoing overnight convection across the area. The long term period begins with a continued southern stream jet connection to the Pacific that will bring a great deal of moisture to the area for most of the week. Extended models in good agreement in high levels of deep layer moisture along with occasional shortwaves in zonal flow aloft temporarily increase rain chances. The best chances for rain will be Tue through early Thu with main precip axis meandering north and south through the forecast area. Enough instability present to warrant mainly isolated thunder chances through this period. Given antecedent conditions, certainly could be looking at additional flooding given persistent axis and possibility of training across the area. High bridging across the northern tier will shunt precip south of the area for Friday but yet another shortwave will bring another shot of precip ahead of a front to the area for Saturday. Deese && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... Mainly MVFR will remain across the TAF sites this afternoon, with IFR conditions expected with any stronger showers and again overnight as CIGs lower. Showers will be off and on this afternoon mainly CSG/ATL area/AHN, and increase overnight. Winds will be generally out of the northeast to east, shifting southeast by 21z and then southwest between 09-16Z tomorrow. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium confidence all elements.
