$$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 13, 10:03 AM EST, 1 hour 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 13, 10:03 AM EST, 1 hour 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1003 AM EST Thu Feb 13 2020 .UPDATE... A cold front is moving southeastward across the forecast area, and is currently positioned across central and eastern Georgia. Heavier showers and isolated thunderstorms are ongoing in the areas along and ahead of the front. With a low instability/high shear environment in place ahead of the front, there remains a marginal risk for some strong to isolated severe thunderstorms in central and east Georgia throughout the day today. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary hazard associated with any severe storms that occur. Some light showers are ongoing behind the cold front, which are coming to an end across northwest Georgia and will soon clear out of the metro area. Multiple rivers, creeks, and streams remain in minor to moderate flood stage, particularly in north Georgia in response to heavy rain during the early morning hours. Minor adjustments have been made to the forecast based on the progression of the front, along with the latest observations and trends. King && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 600 AM EST Thu Feb 13 2020/ UPDATE FOR AVIATION... PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 313 AM EST Thu Feb 13 2020/ SHORT TERM /Today through Friday/... A cold front is forecast to move across the area today and early evening. SPC has indicated a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms along and ahead of the front for today. This is due to strong low level shear but overall weak instability, therefore a high shear low cape event. Strong-damaging Thunderstorm winds are the most likely hazard. The Flash Flood Watch for far N GA will continue until 18z. The bulk of the heavy rain potential should be over by then. Rain chances will be ending for at least portions of N GA this afternoon and the rest of the area tonight. Sunshine is expected to return on Friday. Some areas could see wind advisory criteria today(20 mph sustained), but not a widespread event for an advisory to be issued. Forecast high temperatures are running close to normal for areas over the far northwest today, to 10-15 degrees above normal over the far southeast portion of the forecast area. Forecast high temperatures are running from near to 5-10 degrees below normal on Friday and a little cooler in the mountains. Forecast low temperatures are running from a few degrees below normal for areas to the far north and west tonight to as much as 5-10 degrees above normal for areas to the far east and south. Overall confidence is medium to high. BDL LONG TERM /Friday Night through Wednesday/... The upper level short wave quickly exits the area with weak upper level ridging and surface high pressure across the forecast area. Clear skies and near calm winds overnight will allow for good radiational cooling with overnight lows below normal with temperatures in the mid 20s to mid 30s Saturday morning. Afternoon highs will rebound but remain 5 degrees below normal with mid 40s to upper 50s across the area. Models diverge Saturday night into Sunday as ECMWF is more progressive developing a surface low along the northern GOMEX, with increasing moisture and low chance POPs across portions of the forecast area Sunday and Monday as temperatures again moderate to above normal temperatures. The next system approaches northwest GA Tuesday and Wednesday with POPs increasing to likely ahead of an elongated surface front that moves through the forecast area on Wednesday. There is a chance we could see a respite from rain by the end of the week, but models are not in any agreement on this and will continue at least low chance POPs for now. Atwell AVIATION... 12Z Update... Mainly MVFR ceilings associated with showers moving across the area and some IFR ceilings possible as well. Some IFR/MVFR vsbys associated with the rain/shower/thunderstorm activity. Improvement expected late day and tonight to VFR. Surface winds SSW 10-15 kts with gusts 20-25 kts becoming W-N during the day and tonight. Wind diminishing tonight. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... Medium confidence for ceilings/vsbys/weather.

A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for portions of north Georgia through early this afternoon. Additional rainfall amounts of up to 1 inch with locally higher amounts are possible.

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday as a surface front moves across the area. No hazardous weather is expected at this time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
