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 18, 6:49 AM EST, 8 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 18, 6:49 AM EST, 8 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 649 AM EST Tue Feb 18 2020 .UPDATE... 12z Aviation update below. Baker && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 415 AM EST Tue Feb 18 2020/ ..Morning Area Forecast Discussion... SHORT TERM /Today through Wednesday/... Main focus dominating the short term is with expected widespread showers and slight thunderstorm potential driven by an initial upper shortwave today. The area of precip is currently pushing into the western CWA at the time of this discussion and has had some persistent isolated embedded lightning with an axis of elevated low end CAPE. While the shear params remain limited, no strong to severe intensity is expected and should be just general thunder. Behind this initial wave, the upper SW flow and Gulf moisture transport will continue along and ahead of a cold front progged to push relatively slowly southward across the area late tonight into Wednesday. Overall total QPF looks to be 1.5 to 2 inches across the northern majority of the area with the heavier amounts likely today into tonight. PWATs do look to be quite high and supportive of highly efficient rainfall, close to 1.5 inches and upwards of 1.75 inches into some central/southern portions of the CWA, which could even flirt with climo records. Have opted to hold off on any flood watch given uncertainty with how much rainfall occurs with the initial wave. Future updates may warrant a possible issuance if amounts trend higher. While temps should be decently above normal today with highs in the mid to upper 60s for most areas (even low 70s across the south), the aforementioned fropa will limit north GA to the low to mid 50s on Wednesday. Baker && .LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/... We begin the long term period on Wednesday Night with what is likely to be a slight break in between two rounds of heavier rain. At mid-levels, drier air will have pushed southward to its most southern extent before a surge of moisture moves back into the southeast for a second bout of rain showers in the region from early Thursday morning through Thursday Night. This round of rain is likely to drop another 0.5-1 inches of rain across central Georgia. In recent model runs, there have been hints of a possible mix of wintry-type precip for far Northern Georgia from Thursday morning to Friday morning with residual showers. However, temperatures are expected to be above thresholds for frozen precipitation to make it to the ground at this time; this occurs even in model runs producing frozen precip with vertical profiles that would suggest melting. For now the only expectation for wintry precip will be for the highest elevations in the mountains on late Thursday night but conditions will need to be monitored going forward. Going into Friday and the weekend, we'll have our first break from precip in the forecast! Highs will be on the increase with high- 40s/low-50s on Friday and low- to mid-50s on Saturday under mostly clear skies and a stout, surface high pressure. Moisture comes back into the area on Sunday with PWATS rising from 1/8 of an inch to over an inch. This moisture will be overriding a warm front set to arrive on Monday, but the parent low pressure system in the northern plains is set to occlude and stall, possibly keeping the southeast under cloudy skies and showers for several days after. Thiem && .AVIATION... 12Z Update... Most sites should have LIFR cigs in 200-400 ft range this morning that could persist into much of the day and only possible slight improvement to IFR around 500-800 ft late afternoon or within the area of SHRA (precip likely thru majority of period), then back to LIFR after 03z Wednesday. Generally IFR vsbys around 2 SM but could have greater in breaks of precip. TS chance a bit too low to include but may warrant tempos in updates. Winds initially east to SE 5-7 kts with SSW shift after 17z and WNW shift with front by 06z Wed for KATL and nearby sites. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... Medium on overall cig/vsby trend.
