$$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 Sep 17, 4:12 AM EDT, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 17, 4:12 AM EDT, 1 hour 27 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. Morgan && AVIATION... 06Z Update... T.D. Sally is moving NE and spreading massive amounts of precipitation across North and Central GA. As far as aviation goes this storm is bringing with it low ceilings, rain, and gusty easterly winds. Ceilings expected to stay in the IFR range through this evening before lifting into the MVFR range by 03z-05z Friday. The winds will also stay mainly out of the east then switch to the NW right around 00z Friday. Wind speeds will stay in the 10-15kt range with gust 20-25 until the NWLY switch when speeds will diminish to 10kt or less. //ATL Confidence...06Z Update...
