$$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 19, 9:30 PM EDT, 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 9:30 PM EDT, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 930 PM EDT Sun Apr 19 2020 .Update... No changes at this time. Rain and thunderstorms will continue to train across much of north and central GA. Strongest storms may continue across Columbus to Macon area. 41 .Previous... .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/... Warm front and sharp sfc instability gradient continues to remain a bit farther south and flirting with the southernmost tier of counties or even just a tier even farther south. Some of the stronger convective triggering has still been on the northern elevated CAPE side. An axis of training cells and heavier rain has set up mainly along and south of a zone near Columbus to Macon and flash flooding concerns could ramp up shortly given upstream trends back in AL and fairly good consensus in CAMs. The Flash Flood Watch continues for the southern majority of the area - see Hydrology section below for more details. While parts of north GA transitioned to a lull in precip coverage, we are still in an open upper wave and could easily fill back in ahead of main trough axis later tonight. This feature with attendant sfc low and a strong LLJ kicking in late this evening into the early morning hours looks to allow for the last one to two rounds of strong to severe storms even farther north with possible bowing segments or QLCS anywhere from the Atlanta metro into all of central GA. SPC has maintained the MDT risk across central GA with a tighter gradient of Enhanced/Marginal north. Expect rapidly improving conditions with some enhanced NW gradient winds in the post frontal regime for Monday. Highs will be mainly in the low 70s north to mid 70s south and then lows Monday night generally ranging from the upper 40s to low 50s. Baker && .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Sunday/... Dry conditions will prevail at the onset of the long-term forecast period. A reinforcing dry cold front will push through the area on Tuesday, bringing breezier conditions during the day and cooler overnight temperatures. Surface high pressure will gradually shift eastward through the day Wednesday with one more dry day through Wednesday night. By Thursday, the next storm system will be quickly approaching. While there is fairly good model agreement regarding the general track of the surface low on Thursday, some discrepancies remain with the ECMWF favoring a slightly more southerly track across the Tennessee Valley while the GFS is more northerly across the Ohio Valley. Convective parameters do favor some severe potential on Thursday, though questions remain regarding the quality of instability. Additionally, rainfall totals of 1-2" again look probable with this system. Behind this strong midweek system, model discrepancies increase significantly by late week into next weekend. Given substantial differences in timing and evolution by this time frame, maintained a return to chance PoPs by the weekend. Willis && .HYDROLOGY... The Flash Flood watch remains in effect generally along and south of the I-20 corridor through tonight into early Monday. While one to two and a half inches have fallen already, an additional one to four inches and locally higher amounts are possible through tonight. Heavy rainfall will likely lead to localized flooding. Flooding of low-lying areas, creeks and streams can be expected with additional larger river rises anticipated as well, well after the rain ends. Baker && .AVIATION... 00Z UPDATE... Warm front remains across north FL and not expected to push north until after 06z. The southern taf sites will continue to have more predominant TSRA coverage into this evening while there is more uncertainty along the northern sites. Stronger forcing could have predominant TSRA in the 06-09z across the taf sites. Ceilings are LIFR/IFR and should remain there until after sunrise...with an improving trend during the day Monday. Winds should stay east to southeast 6 to 9 kts through much of the night...then become northwest with gusts after 12z. //ATL CONFIDENCE...00Z UPDATE...

Refer to the Flash flood watch / ATLFFAFFC / for more information. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday... Strong thunderstorms will be possible over portions of east and central Georgia early Monday. Another round of potentially strong thunderstorms is expected across north and central Georgia on Thursday and Thursday night. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
