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 Apr 12, 3:32 PM EDT, 3 hours 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 12, 3:32 PM EDT, 3 hours 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 332 PM EDT Sun Apr 12 2020 ...INCREASED CONCERN OF SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK LATE TODAY INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING... .SHORT TERM /Rest of today through Monday Night/... Things should ramp up quickly here for a significant outbreak of severe storms (possibly the strongest event in at least the last 2 to 3 years) having the big three main threats of strong long- track tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail this afternoon into the overnight. Much of the western CWA remains in a Moderate Risk with the rest of the area in an Enhanced, though the storm threats could occur area-wide. All the recent convective development across the western and northern CWA has been tapping into mostly elevated instability, though concern is increasing with the evolution of a warm front/lingering wedge front across portions of north Georgia (currently extending near the Atlanta Metro to just south of Athens) as this may end up focusing some stronger rotating convection tapping into more surface based energy along with localized enhanced low level helicity and frontogenetic forcing on top of the ample upper forcing/jet dynamics. The HRRR continues to ramp up the Sig Tor Param along and south of this feature that could slowly lift northward this afternoon into evening and bulk shear vectors have strong veering, so will need to watch for discrete supercell and tornado potential even ahead of the main overnight expected storms. Hi-res CAM consensus continues to have expected intense convective zones/broken lines with embedded supercells pushing into the CWA after about 04z (midnight) tonight pushing eastward through the early morning hours. The HRRR indicates impressive swaths of updraft helicity along these storms interacting with over 400 m2/s2 of 0-1km SRH, so there is concern of some strong long-track tornadoes, even more dangerous given the nocturnal timing. Regardless there will be a widespread damaging wind threat with a robust 65 kt LLJ and 80-100 kts of bulk deep layer shear as the upper wave swings negative. Have continued with Flash Flood Watch across the far north where storm total QPF still looks to be in the 2-4 inch range. Also continuing the Wind Advisory as the enhanced southerly gradient winds will be strong especially as we get into the warm sector of the surface low. The storm threat looks to exit the southeastern CWA between 12-15z Monday and west to NW winds behind the front should gradually decrease during the day with clearing conditions. Baker && .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Sunday/... The forecast remains mainly on track through the extended period, with only minor changes made based on the latest guidance. The previous discussion follows... King .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 740 AM EDT Sun Apr 12 2020/ 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. 20 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... IFR/LIFR cigs (300 ft near KATL) along with IFR vsbys have built into the northern sites for this afternoon with the progression of a lingering wedge. This should lift slowly northward and improve by late afternoon/evening as we then get into the warm sector of a strong storm system that could bring several rounds of severe storms - with the most likely area of severe storms pushing through the western sites (including KATL) in the 06-09z window, and slightly later for the eastern sites. These storms could have strong long-track tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail. Winds will increase out of the SE later this afternoon at 13-17 kts gusting in the 20s, then shift SW to west after near 06z tonight at 18-20 kts gusting near 30kts. These should gradually decrease through Monday day. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium on overall cig trends and storm timing. High on all else. Baker && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
