$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jan 11, 6:59 PM EST, 1 hour 21 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 11, 6:59 PM EST, 1 hour 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 659 PM EST Sat Jan 11 2020 .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 247 PM EST Sat Jan 11 2020/ SHORT TERM /Tonight through Sunday Night/... Current Radar loop shows the line of showers and thunderstorms moving across Alabama and should begin pushing into NW GA by 3-4pm. Just ahead of this line of storms is strong Southwesterly warm air advection and dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s across GA. The models are also showing Perceptible waters in the 1.5 to 1.8 inch range. A strong low-level jet at 850 mb is contributing to very strong low-level shear (40-50 kts) and 0-1 km helicity values of 200- 400 m2/s2. Southerly 0-6 km Bulk shear of 60-70 kts is also occurring and is oriented nearly parallel to the system. I said all this to say these values are abnormally high for this time of year and the atmosphere is primed for some severe storms to move in this afternoon/evening. The main surface low is centered right along the AR/TN/MS border and is still expected to move rapidly NE into the eastern Great Lake states by 12z Sun. The cold front moves into NW GA this evening with the line of severe storms just ahead of it. Showers have already developed across the state but the severe storms will make their way into NW GA by 3-4pm. This line is expected to continue pushing SE through tonight. It should sweep through the Metro ATL area between 5- 9pm and through MCN and CSG between 6-10pm. Damaging wind gusts and brief tornadoes embedded within the line will be the primary severe weather hazards. The highest likelihood of severe weather is expected in the western portion of the forecast area in the closest vicinity to the low-level jet, where shear values will be the greatest. A brief period of cool, rain-free conditions can be expected on Sunday morning across north Georgia after the passage of the cold front to the south and east. However, this respite will be short- lived as the front will stall across south Georgia as it orients itself parallel to the southwesterly flow aloft and begin to retreat back to the north as a warm front during the daytime Sunday. Isentropic lift to the north of the frontal boundary will lead to scattered showers with some isolated thunderstorms gradually developing northward through the area during the afternoon hours on Sunday and continuing through Monday. 01 LONG TERM /Monday through Saturday/... Unsettled weather will persist for much of the long term portion of the forecast. No major changes were needed. Old frontal boundary remains stalled across portions of the CWA into the middle of next week. This boundary will serve to focus rounds of rainfall, some heavy at times. Currently, the axis if heaviest rainfall is mainly along and north of the Interstate 20 corridor and this has some run to run consistency. On average, one to three inches of rainfall is progged, but some locally higher amounts are possible in the higher elevations of NE GA. A cold front is on track to move through later on Wednesday, with high pressure briefly building back in for Thursday into early Friday. The other story (besides the additional rains) will be the temperatures. Values around 20 degrees above normal are likely for the first half of the week. NListemaa && .AVIATION... 00Z Update... Line of strong to severe SHRA/TSRA currently moving across the area. Will impact AHN/MCN over the next couple of hours. Reduced vsbys will be possible in the line down to a mile or less. Gusty winds in the 25-30kt range will continue behind the line with gusts 30-45kts possible with the line. Wind gusts should diminish overnight outside of the line of storms. IFR/MVFR cigs should improve to MVFR/VFR later in the overnight hours although a sct IFR/MVFR deck may linger through the overnight. Behind the line, winds have shifted WSW/SW but will shift W overnight before shifting NW around daybreak. Winds should shift back S/SE during the day on Sunday. Wind speeds should be around 3-8kts Sunday. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Low to medium confidence on all elements. Reaves && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

A line of showers and thunderstorms will continue to move across portions of central Georgia through the rest of this evening. Some storms may be strong to severe across portions of eastern and central Georgia. The primary storm threats continue to be damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph along with the potential for a few tornadoes. In addition, the wind advisory remains in effect through 10 PM this evening as strong winds are expected to continue. Strong wind gusts especially in the higher elevations of north Georgia could bring down trees and powerlines. The High Wind Warning is still in effect for parts of north Georgia, generally north of a Rome to Jasper line until 10 PM this evening. As the storms move through later today and tonight, periods of heavy rain could result in localized flooding. The severe threat should end west to east this evening. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday... Showers and a few thunderstorms will persist over central Georgia on Sunday, developing again across the entire area by Monday. Heavy rainfall could again lead to flooding concerns as soils will be saturated from previous rains. Showers and thunderstorms will persist into Friday with possibly a brief break on Thursday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
