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 Sep 17, 4:12 AM EDT, 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 17, 4:12 AM EDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
412 AM EDT Thu Sep 17 2020

.SHORT TERM /Today through Friday/...

Tropical Depression Sally's center is just NE of Montgomery, AL
and will continue to push NE through the short term. The rain
shield from Sally is spreading over the area and we are seeing
inches of rainfall across north and central GA. Areas north of an
ATL to AHN line have seen 1 to 2 inches over the past 24 hours
with areas from ATL to MCN seeing about 2 to 4 inches. Right now
the The highest rainfall amounts in GA have occurred just to the
NE of Sally's center across Macon/Peach/Crawford counties. These
counties have see 8-10 inch totals over the past 24 hours and with
more rain to come Im sure these values will continue to go up
through this afternoon. Sally is still expected to track to the NE
with its center expected just N of Columbus by 7am and then just
NW of August by 7pm tonight. North and Central GA will continue to
see moderate to heavy rain through the morning hours with the
rain tapering of from West to East through the afternoon and
evening.

There will be some drier air that moves into N GA tonight around the
backside of Sally's remnants but there will still be some
moisture across central and south GA through the short term.
Keeping some slight to chance PoPs across the area Friday.

High temps today and Friday will stay in the 70s with lows tonight
in the 60s.

01

.LONG TERM /Friday Night through Wednesday/...

With the remnant low of Sally pushing out of the area on Friday, a
frontal system should approach the CWA from the N-NW before
stalling near the central to south Georgia region over the
weekend. This frontal system is really the only source of any PoPs
for the CWA as high pressure system begins to builds in over the
latter half of the weekend and remain through the long term
period.

Looking ahead towards the temperatures, high and low temps will
begin to lower thanks in part to that associated cold front. Highs
should be around the low 70s through the weekend with lows getting
down to the mid to low 50s. For high temps, this is around 8 to 16
degrees below climatological average for this time of year so a
taste of fall could be on the horizon. Temps will then slowly
begin to warm once more approaching the mid week period.

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

.DAY ONE...Rest of Tonight...

Very heavy rainfall and flooding from the the remnants of Tropical
Storm Sally are expected tonight. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect
for much of north and central Georgia through Friday morning. Runoff

flooding and extensive river flooding.

In addition to heavy rainfall, some stronger winds will be capable
of producing downed trees and powerlines, especially with wet soils.
A Wind Advisory is in effect for much of the area through Thursday
morning.

A couple of brief weak tornadoes also cannot be ruled out over parts
of middle Georgia tonight, mainly south of a Columbus to Macon to
Jefferson line.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday...

The Flash Flood Watch will continue through early Friday morning
as the remnants of Sally move across Georgia. Within the stronger
rainbands, damaging wind gusts and weak brief tornadoes will
continue to be possible.

Sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph may
continue into Thursday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be required tonight and Thursday. Spotters
should exercise extreme caution and avoid any high water or flooded
roads. Please continue to follow all local, state, and CDC
guidelines in regards to travel.
