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 Mar 4, 6:51 AM EST, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 4, 6:51 AM EST, 1 hour 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 651 AM EST Wed Mar 4 2020 .UPDATE... Widespread fog and patches of dense fog remain in place across central Georgia, primarily along and south of a line from Newnan to Covington to Washington, and is expected to dissipate by mid- morning. Precipitation has begun to build into the forecast area from the south and west, and is still expected to become widespread and increase in intensity through the day today. With high stream flows and already saturated soils, runoff from this additional rain will lead to a greater threat for flooding concerns. Some isolated thunderstorms are also expected this afternoon, primarily across central Georgia. There is a chance that a few storms could become strong to marginally severe in portions of our far southern tier, with damaging wind gusts being the primary threat. Updated for the 12Z Aviation Discussion. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 327 AM EST Wed Mar 4 2020/ SHORT TERM /Today through Thursday/... Another relative break in precipitation is ongoing as the short term period begins. A band of light showers is ongoing across the I-20 corridor due to an axis of convergence at the mid levels. However, rainfall totals associated with this band are negligible and are anticipated to be less than a tenth of an inch. South of this band of showers, clearing skies, light winds, and wet soils from recent rainfall is allowing for the development of patchy fog, which is expected to linger into the mid-morning today. Continued southwesterly flow aloft over much of the southeastern CONUS is keeping conditions warm and moist. Dewpoints ranging from the upper 40s in north Georgia to the low 60s in central Georgia and and precipitable water values between 1 and 1.25 inches are in place across north and central Georgia as a result of this moisture. Low temperatures in the upper 40s and 50s this morning will only increase to the upper 50s to low 60s this afternoon. The break in precipitation is expected to be short-lived. An upper level shortwave and associated surface low moving northeastward over the Gulf Coast today will help reinforce the frontal boundary stalled across south Georgia, ultimately bringing another round of heavy rain to the area during the daytime today. Likely to categorical PoPs will spread northward into central Georgia early this morning and develop northward throughout the day today. The heaviest rainfall today is expected across central Georgia, with an additional 1-2 inches of rainfall south of I-20 and progressively diminishing amounts further north. The persistent warm and moist airmass will allow for sufficient instability to support isolated thunderstorms primarily across central Georgia today. Severe weather is not anticipated, although a strong storm or two in the southeast portion of the forecast area cannot be ruled out. Strong isentropic lift ahead of the approaching shortwave disturbance is expected to promote a shield of widespread precipitation over central Georgia on Wednesday night before lifting northward and focusing over north Georgia through Thursday morning. The low pressure system will then shift east of the forecast area during the afternoon on Thursday, leading to precipitation to diminish from west to east at the end of the short term period. Another 1-1.5 inches of rainfall is expected south of I-20 on Thursday, bringing expected rainfall totals to between 2 to 3.5 inches south of I-20 with diminishing chances further north. Due to the additional rainfall forecast over these two days, the Flash Flood Watch continues for portions of north and central Georgia beginning this morning and continuing through Thursday afternoon. King LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Tuesday/... The long term period starts on Thursday evening with the majority of the rain exiting the CWA by Friday morning as the parent surface low moves off the northeastern US seaboard. As the system exits the off the coast, a surface high should sink into the SE with upper level ridging and NW flow aloft providing dry and sunny conditions through Sunday. Being the bearer of bad news, southwesterly flow returns on Monday ahead of the next approaching system. There are currently model discrepancies between the GFS and ECMWF in regards to early next week's system with the ECMWF having a faster and more progressive system as compared to the GFS. Regardless, PWATS remain above seasonal normals with rain chances returning for early next week and through the rest of the extended forecast. Temperatures through Sunday will be 5 to 10 degrees below average before swinging to above average for the rest of the extended period. Morgan && .AVIATION... 12Z Update... VFR ceilings are in place across the metro ATL sites and AHN, but have begun to lower to MVFR across CSG/MCN. MVFR/IFR conditions are expected to develop at the northern sites by 16-17Z, and remain at all sites through the end of the TAF period. Fog is in place across central Georgia, primarily over MCN, and should dissipate by 15Z. Nonetheless, MVFR visibility restrictions will still be possible with any SHRA that occurs. SHRA has begun to redevelop across the area and is anticipated at all TAF sites through the remainder of today and overnight. TSRA is also possible at CSG/MCN, with a TEMPO group introduced for the next couple of hours at each site. NW winds of 4-7 kts at ATL this morning are expected to shift to NE between 14-17Z, then before fully shifting NE after 03Z overnight //ATL Confidence...12Z Update...

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for portions of north and central Georgia, roughly along and south of the Interstate 20 corridor. Moderate to locally heavy rainfall is expected to occur today with widespread rainfall amounts of 1.5" to 3.5" likely. Locally higher amounts are possible. With high streamflows and already saturated soils, runoff from this additional rain will only exacerbate ongoing issues. An isolated strong to marginally severe storm is possible today as a low pressure system moves east across the southeast states. The primary hazards will be damaging wind gusts and large hail. An isolated brief tornado cannot be ruled out. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday... The Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through early Thursday afternoon. An isolated strong to marginally severe storm is possible again on Thursday, mainly across southern portions of the outlook area. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
