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 24, 10:49 AM EDT, 1 hour 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 24, 10:49 AM EDT, 1 hour 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1049 AM EDT Tue Mar 24 2020 .UPDATE... Initial upper impulse has allowed for some isolated strong convection tracking eastward across north GA this morning along with some training of heavier rain in the far northern tier. Will monitor for any increased flash flood potential accordingly, and then could have a lull in coverage/activity this afternoon across portions of north GA ahead of next stronger wave progged for this evening. Overall grid trends look to be on track so have not needed to adjust aside from ingesting near term obs. Previous discussion follows... Baker && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 739 AM EDT Tue Mar 24 2020/ SHORT TERM /Today through Wednesday/... .Flash Flood Watch For Far North GA... A challenging forecast with a myriad of hazard concerns starting with dense fog. No slam dunk by any means on this one but considering it was in the metro, did not get too cute with it and just ran through the morning hours. Entirely possible that increased lift and rain chances will allow visibility to increase prior to hazard end time, but hazard can be cancelled if that ends up being the case. Embedded shortwaves in zonal flow are increasing lift across the area in vicinity of warm front. This has already allowed for the development of showers and coverage and intensity should increase through the morning hours very rapidly. Models continue to increase QPF with not only this feature but multiple rounds as second more vigorous shortwave moves through the Tennessee Valley this evening. Now have storm total in excess of 3 inches across portions of North GA, north of the metro in general. Based on the latest QPF and area now being in moderate risk of Excessive Rainfall, have chosen to go with a Flash Flood Watch for areas that line up with high QPF axis. Instability will be primarily elevated early on, but will need to watch for potential severe storms by afternoon across the Northwest portions. SPC has slight risk for this area which looks to be on target. With frontal position. low level helicity will be off the charts with STP approaching 4 on the NAM. Pretty much an all included with potential hazards of damaging winds, hail and even isolated tornadoes. Finally some clearing for tonight and especially into Wed to help dry things out. A very nice day in store for Wed with a drying northerly flow and temperatures in the lower 70s north to lower 80s for portions of Central GA. Deese && .LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/... The long term period begins on Wednesday night with northwest flow aloft and subsidence settling in on the backside of an exiting shortwave. Mid- and upper-level high pressure will build in across the Southeast from the northern Gulf of Mexico on Thursday and Friday, making for dry weather and a mostly to partly sunny sky. Mid- and upper-level flow will turn southwesterly on Saturday as a low pressure system tracks across the Central U.S. and Ohio River Valley, dragging a cold front across the South. The GFS and ECMWF currently keep Saturday dry and have rain moving into northwestern Georgia by late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. The cold front passage looks to be quick, as models move rain out of the CWA by late Sunday night. The QPF on Sunday ranges from less than 0.01 inch to 0.25 inch, with the higher totals across northwestern Georgia. Also, given non-zero instability (MUCAPE <1000 J/kg), have included a slight chance of thunder for Saturday night into Sunday morning. Models are forecasting an upper-level trough taking shape across the Southwest on Sunday into Monday, generating an area of surface low pressure somewhere across the South Central states. There are timing differences, however, as the GFS is faster with more zonal upper-level flow, and the ECMWF is slower with more amplified upper-level flow. This translates to uncertainty with the timing of rain associated with this system on Monday and Tuesday. Highs will be around 5 to 15 degrees above average through the period, aside from Sunday and Monday (during and after the cold front passage). Lows will be around 10 to 20 degrees above average through much of the period. Martin && .AVIATION... 12Z UPDATE...LIFR conditions continue but quickly abating from north to south as line of SHRA develops. Will be a challenging forecast as waves of SHRA and even embedded TSRA interrupts the low cigs and vsby from time to time. First of these waves will be mid morning around 15Z and then another late evening into the first part of the overnight period. Cigs may recover briefly late this evening with the second wave of TSRA but will quickly go down again for the Tue night timeframe. Winds will be very light through mid morning before becoming SW and remaining there for the remainder of this TAF period. //ATL CONFIDENCE...12Z UPDATE... Medium on LIFR duration and precip timing.
