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.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 12, 7:40 AM EDT, 2 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated for Aviation
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
740 AM EDT Sun Apr 12 2020

.SHORT TERM /Today through Monday/...

The main issue for the short term will be the severe weather event
setting up for later today into tonight. A potent short wave
developing in the Southern Plains will become negatively tilted as
it moves through the OH/TN Valley area overnight. There should be
some shower and thunderstorm development ahead of this system this
morning and into the afternoon. Pops should be increasing across the
forecast area during the day. The most favored time for severe
thunderstorms should be this evening into the overnight...ahead of
the surface front and upper low. Total QPF values from this morning
through Monday afternoon are forecast to range from two to four
inches across the far north...with one to two inches elsewhere. A
Flash Flood Watch has been issued for the area roughly along and
north of a Rome to Jasper to Cleveland line for this afternoon
through Monday morning. A Wind Advisory remains in effect area wide
generally for this same time period. Storms will exit the east
central counties Monday morning with a few severe still possible.
Expect all storms to be east of the forecast area late Monday
afternoon. Some cooling is expected mainly northwest for
Monday...but should remain warm elsewhere since we will continue
with a west to southwest flow aloft.

41

.LONG TERM /Monday Night through Saturday/...

Region remains under a fairly active and progressive pattern through
the extended forecast period. Period starts out mainly dry behind the
strong system impacting the area today through early Monday. A short
wave sweeps along the gulf coast region Tuesday bringing rain chances
back into the forecast area, especially the southern portion of the
area. Instability is marginal at best with limited chances for
thunder with this system. Mainly dry for the latter half of the
work-week with rain chances increasing again next weekend as another
wave approaches. Temperatures remain relatively seasonal through the
period.
