$$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, 3:07 PM EST, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 3:07 PM EST, 2 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 307 PM EST Thu Feb 6 2020 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Friday Night/... The line of showers and thunderstorms that have brought a round of severe weather and torrential flooding rainfall. The severe threat looks to exit the forecast area by 8 PM tonight with the expiration of the ongoing Tornado Watch. However, ongoing flooding issues may continue with heavy runoff and another half inch of rain expected behind the main line of storms. A Flash Flood Watch will continue through Friday morning with several reports of severe flooding ongoing in north Georgia. As heavy rain filters out and isolated light showers move into the area behind them the colder air moving in behind the front will lead to possible snow showers and flurries across north Georgia Friday morning. Accumulations around an inch may be possible on western slopes in the Georgia Blue Ridge mountains. Further flurries may continue on Saturday morning as well with another brief round of lighter rainfall. Thiem .LONG TERM /Saturday through Thursday/... Given ongoing severe weather today only tweeks were made to the extended forecast. The previous discussion follows... PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 416 AM EST Thu Feb 6 2020/ 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. Deese .AVIATION... 18Z Update... A broken line of showers and thunderstorms will cont to push through the fcst area with a wide variety of svr wx and heavy rain following. CIGS are very spotty at the moment, but expecting MVFR to dominate through most of the TAF period with IFR possible around the ATL sites between 22-06Z tonight. A mix of IFR/MVFR VSBYS also likely with periods of heavy rain. Strong gusty SSW winds ahead of the storms will transition to breezy west winds tonight before strengthening again tomorrow morning with gusts up to 25kts. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... High confidence on winds. Low to Medium confidence on CIGS. Medium confidence on all other elements. Thiem && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

A line of showers and thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will continue to sweep through portions of central and eastern Georgia. For this area, be prepared for possible Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Warnings, and be ready to take appropriate actions if necessary. In addition to the severe storm potential, a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for the entire forecast area through 7 AM Friday morning as torrential rainfall will allow an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain. 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. Please do not attempt to drive through flooded roadways; Turn Around, Don't Drown! .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 in urban areas, low-lying areas, and small creeks and streams. 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.
