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 19, 6:31 AM EST, 5 hours 23 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 19, 6:31 AM EST, 5 hours 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 631 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2020 ...12Z Aviation Forecast Discussion... .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 418 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2020/ SHORT TERM /Today through Thursday/... Unsettled weather will persist through the short term forecast period. A cold front slowly sagging southward through the area brought heavy rainfall to much of the area Tuesday evening, leading to localized flooding issues. These earlier heavy rainfall rates have gradually diminished through the morning hours with generally only light lingering post-frontal showers at this hour. Though some remaining light rain showers can be expected through today, there will be a break from the heavier rainfall as the front slowly pushes south of the area. Given the much lighter additional QPF today, the Flash Flood Watch has been cancelled, though ongoing rises on a number of local waterways can be expected through today. As the front stalls to the south, a southern stream shortwave will bring another wave of rainfall to the area beginning overnight and into the day Thursday. Current forecast additional rainfall totals tonight into Thursday will be heaviest across the southern half of the area where an additional 1"+ is expected. While these totals would not lead to widespread flash flooding concerns, wet soils will lead to additional runoff that would contribute to ongoing rises on creeks/streams. At this time, will not be issuing an additional Flood Watch for tonight into Thursday, though localized flooding concerns cannot be ruled out. The other forecast note of interest on Thursday will be wintry precipitation potential in parts of far north Georgia. Precipitation will be ongoing as an upper shortwave trough sweeps southward toward the Tennessee Valley and Appalachians. With cold air advection, temperature profiles would support a rain/snow mix or transition to light snow across primarily the higher elevations of far north Georgia by midday Thursday into Thursday afternoon. While some valley locations could see a mix or brief transition to snow, surface temperatures appear marginal for much/any accumulation outside of the higher elevations where an inch or perhaps as high as the 2" range would be possible before precipitation comes to a quick end Thursday evening. Temperatures will fall rapidly Thursday night after the precipitation ends with Friday morning lows ranging through the 20s across north Georgia. Any lingering wet roadways could thus experience patchy black ice concerns across north Georgia, particularly on sheltered or lesser-traveled routes that do not experience drying. RW LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Tuesday/... Starting on Friday, we'll finally get relief from the ongoing deluge plaguing the southeast. High pressure will move into the area and highs will climb from the mid-40s on Friday to the mid-50s on Saturday as the heavens open and mostly clear skies make their way in. It will be short lived, as by Sunday a warm, moist conveyer belt of moisture moves over the region once again brings precip back to the area by late Sunday night. Model guidance gets a bit messy with the evolution of this system. Some long range models have heavier convection coming through on Monday and some have lighter showers. It is likely that a cold frontal passage will occur early Tuesday with a slight break from the rains in the morning, but there are big discrepancies on whether the frontal system will stall and be the axis of heavier convection from a developing system over the Midwest or if it pushes through and drys the area out for a few days. More will be known as we get towards the weekend. Thiem && .AVIATION... 12Z Update... Largely IFR cigs persist this morning, though there area a few breaks as high as VFR at times. More persistent improvement toward MVFR is more likely at ATL sites by 15-17z. -Shra coverage will continue to diminish at ATL sites through around 16z and persist at CSG/MCN through 20z or so. IFR cigs become more likely again after 06z Thursday with widespread RA increasing thereafter as well. Current NW/W winds at 5-10 kts will transition to NE by 18-20z. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update...
