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, 6:25 PM EST, 2 hours 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 4, 6:25 PM EST, 2 hours 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
625 PM EST Wed Mar 4 2020

...00Z Aviation Forecast Discussion...

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Thursday Night/...

Rain will continue across the area through Thursday
afternoon/evening...Then we finally get a break. Current mosaic
radar loop shows showers and thunderstorms extending from the TX/NW
border to the Carolinas. Also there is a closes low developing along
the TX gulf coast and it will move east along the coast through
tonight. This low will pull all this moisture eastward with it
allowing a high pressure center to build south out of the central
plains behind it. This ridge is what will shut the rain off for the
weekend. The closed low center will be centered over the Northern by
18z  and push off the GA/FL/SC coast by 009z Friday. Drier air
begins to push into N GA Thu evening with things clearing out across
the entire state by Friday morning. With the main low centered
expected to stay south of our CWA the best instabilities are also
expected to stay south. We will see some isolated storms tonight and
Thursday but not expecting much in the way of strong to severe
storms. This is right in line with SPC keeping the slight risk area
across South GA through Thu night. Temps Tonight and Thu night
expected to stay mainly in the 40s. Highs expected in the 50s Thu.

01

&&

.LONG TERM /Friday through Wednesday/...

Relief from the rain is on the horizon! The long term period
kicks off on Friday morning with northwest flow aloft across the
eastern U.S. with upper-level ridging and surface high pressure
settling in across the Southeast on Saturday and Sunday. This will
lead to dry conditions and temperatures (especially lows) across
the CWA around 5-10 degrees below average through the weekend.

The next chance for rain will come with a low pressure system and
attendant cold front approaching from the west on Monday
evening/overnight, though there are model discrepancies in terms
of timing. The GFS is faster in bringing rain to north Georgia
(with rain progged to reach northwest Georgia as early as Monday
night) with the main axis of rain meandering across north Georgia
into Tuesday. The ECMWF, on the other hand, is currently a good 6
hours slower in bringing the rain in. While there is still
uncertainty in terms of storm potential, will have to keep an eye
on Tuesday and Wednesday, as the GFS is hinting at marginal
instability across portions of the CWA. The chance for rain
showers will remain in the forecast on Wednesday as the cold front
sinks into Georgia.

After this cooler-than-normal weekend, temperatures will climb
back to around 5-15 degrees above average (with highs in the 60s
and 70s, and lows in the 40s and 50s) for the first half of next
week.

00Z Update...

Widespread rain, with embedded showers and a few thunderstorms,
expected to continue through 18Z. Precipitation will begin pushing
south and east of the forecast area between 18Z and 00Z. The better
chances for thunderstorms will around and south of the KCSG and KMCN
TAF sites. Wide mixture of VFR to LIFR ceilings and visibilities
currently across the forecast area. Will see most areas MVFR or
lower by 02Z-06Z, and IFR or lower by 08Z-12Z. Mainly IFR conditions
hold through 18Z-20Z with northern and western portions of the
forecast area seeing some improvement by 00Z. Variable to westerly

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North and Central Georgia.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

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 inches likely. Locally
higher amounts are possible. With high streamflows and already
saturated soils, runoff from this additional rain will only
exacerbate ongoing flooding 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.
