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 Feb 6, 6:50 AM EST, 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 6:50 AM EST, 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 650 AM EST Thu Feb 6 2020 .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 416 AM EST Thu Feb 6 2020/ SHORT TERM /Today through Friday/... Current radar loop shows showers and thunderstorms moving NE across the region this morning. Main upper trough moving east through the plains states this morning keeping the southeastern US in deep moist southwesterly flow. This flow is bringing ample Gulf moisture and rounds of heavy rainfall with increased thunderstorm chances mainly Today. The main surface frontal boundary will push into NW GA over the next few hours and continue to move southeast through tonight. Strong to severe convection potential continues Today given ample shear and some higher instability expected especially across central portions of the state. Main threat continues to be damaging winds, though with some decent HREF probabilities of sig tor params greater than 3, there is the potential for some brief tornado spin ups this afternoon. QPF showing highest values expected mainly across west and central GA today with 2 to 3 more inches expected on top of the 1 to 2 inches that has already fallen. Have continued the Flash Flood watch which includes all of north and central GA. Other item to watch is the strong Cold air advection pushing in behind this system tonight/Fri morning along with a slug of enhanced moisture across N GA. Temps will dip down into the lower 30s and with fairly steep cooling/lapse rates and decent saturation below 700 mb have continued with a rain snow mix mainly across N GA. Some light accumulations cannot be ruled out especially in the higher elevations. Temps Friday will rise into the 40s and 50s. 01 LONG TERM /Friday Night through Thursday/... The first portion of the long term will be the rare dry period but as has been the case, this will not last for long. A secondary shortwave will drop through the midwest and eventually the Mississippi Valley Sat morning with surface reflection passing well north of the area. GFS continues to be most aggressive with this feature and the associated moisture although the ECMWF has trended slightly wetter as well. Still going to use a blend which yields likely pops over the far NE zones through Sat afternoon. Timing will be critical as we could see enough cold air lock in to allow for a rain and snow mix over mountains primarily. ECMWF indicates greater snow potential over a larger area than the GFS but will lean toward the lower amounts which agrees with WPC. This would yield a dusting to maybe two tenths of an inch over the northeast mountains. Another brief dry period for Sunday before next system moves in quickly Monday into Tuesday and if you believe the ECMWF which stalls the frontal boundary further north. Regardless, another period of decent rainfall of over and inch. Not as impressive as the current system but with ongoing flooding likely, this will only exacerbate the problem. Although instability will be quite minimal, did add a period of thunder for Tuesday afternoon as the activity transitions into Central GA. Depending on which long term solution verifies, we could see a break on Wednesday but just as likely that front hangs around and provides the focus for additional activity. Frontal boundary will move through on Thu with good agreement this far out. An additional inch of rain is likely with this system and possibly quite a bit more in the far extended as models show front stalling and additional waves impacting the area.

Showers with occasional thunderstorms will be capable of producing severe weather today including damaging winds and isolated tornadoes, mainly across portions of west and southwest Georgia. In addition to the severe storm potential, torrential rainfall will allow an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain to fall over areas that have already received in excess of an inch overnight. With these periods of very heavy rain expected to continue, the Flash Flood Watch remains for north and central Georgia. Heavy rain will quickly elevate the flood potential across the area, especially in the higher terrain of north Georgia, urban areas, low-lying areas, and small creeks and streams. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday... The Flash Flood Watch will continue through Friday morning across north and central Georgia. Flooding will continue well after the rain ends. Light rain and snow mix will be possible across far north Georgia on Friday morning and Saturday morning, mainly in the higher terrain. Little to no accumulations are anticipated at this time for Friday but this could change with subsequent forecasts. A dusting to less than a half an inch could be realized for the Saturday system across the Northeast mountains. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters should monitor the latest information today for possible activation across portions of north and central Georgia.
