$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at May 4, 11:32 AM EDT, 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 4, 11:32 AM EDT, 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1132 AM EDT Tue May 4 2021 .UPDATE... No big changes to the forecast. First round of convection currently in northwest GA and moving southeast. 41 && PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 501 AM EDT Tue May 4 2021/ .ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED TODAY INTO TONIGHT... SHORT TERM /Today through Wednesday/... Active short term period expected, with Enhanced (3 of 5) severe potential for portions of the area today. Currently seeing a bit of a lull in activity early this morning, though precip has not completely shut off. Band of ample moisture remains positioned over the region as broad upper level trough continues to support the active environment. HiRes models continue to show two 'waves' of convection today, with the first developing and increasing in coverage over north Georgia mid to late morning, and the second - likely more robust - wave early this evening and tapering off after midnight as the front moves into the state. There is still a good amount of uncertainty with the timing of the activity, and although complete clearing is not expected between the two peaks in activity, any breaks (even patchy) could reinforce the convective environment with daytime heating. Diminishing storm intensity is expected into the late evening hours. The moist, unstable airmass and good low level lift will support strong to severe storms with the main concern being damaging winds, but an isolated tornado or hail report cannot be ruled out. SPC has an Enhanced (3 out of 5) Risk for western Georgia today, with a Slight (2 out of 5) Risk for the large remainder of the CWA. Modeled PWs remain anomalously high, with efficient rain processes likely to produce another 1 to 2 inches of rain on top of the already soggy conditions from yesterday. A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect. See the Hydrology section below. Drying conditions are on the horizon with the rain largely confined to the far southern third of the state on Wednesday. 31 LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/... A welcomed reprieve to the active rounds of convection is on tap to start out the majority of the long term. Only a lingering stalled sfc boundary and moisture axis keeps some slight pops for isolated showers or thunderstorms in the far southeastern CWA Wed night through Thurs. Otherwise a sfc ridge and associated dry subsidence builds in for the rest of the area allowing for mostly clear and slightly below normal temps through Thurs. Upper flow transitions from zonal to NW with a reinforcing moisture starved cold front for Friday to allow for even slightly cooler temps. Temps start to moderate warmer for Saturday as the flow dampens/flattens back to zonal and low level fetch swings SW. We should still stay dry, however, with only some increased clouds in the north. More ample moisture advection returns to the area Sunday and a progged weak upper disturbance will allow for the return of slight to low end chance showers/storms mainly in the north later in the day into overnight, then a possibly stronger disturbance and approaching elongated front brings some higher chance pops for scattered convection across the majority of the area on Monday. Baker HYDROLOGY... Previous rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches and locally higher have fallen across north Georgia and portions of central Georgia. With additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches and locally higher expected today into tonight, we are continuing a slightly expanded Flash Flood Watch mainly along and north of a Cusseta to Forsyth to Louisville line through tonight. AVIATION... 12Z Update... Patchy IFR/LIFR largely improved this morning, but anticipate MVFR through the morning hours. Some VFR clearing is possible, but on the whole expect MVFR to be the norm through much of the day. Multiple rounds of storms are expected with highest convection coverage between 16-22Z and 00-06Z hours and have tried to pinpoint biggest threat in the TEMPOs. SSW of 8-12kt with gusts to 22kt are expected, with higher gusts to 30kt in/near storms. Shift to the WNW is expected between 05-12Z Wednesday. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... Low to medium on timing of TSRA at KATL. High on wind direction. Medium on all other elements. 31 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Scattered thunderstorms are again likely across much of the area for today into tonight with another disturbance and frontal system. Some could be strong to severe mainly in a first round from mid morning into afternoon across north Georgia, then another possibly stronger round this evening into early Wednesday morning for both north and central Georgia. The primary threats will be damaging winds, flash flooding, isolated tornadoes, isolated large hail and frequent lightning. A Severe Thunderstorm watch will remain in effect for portions of north Georgia until 5 PM Tuesday. A Flash Flood Watch will remain in effect for portions of north and central Georgia until 2 AM Wednesday morning. Additional heavy rain would easily allow for runoff and flash flooding potential given saturated soils. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday... While some isolated to scattered thunderstorms could occur on Wednesday as a front pushes southward, any strong to isolated severe potential should be limited to central Georgia. No hazardous weather is expected Thursday through Saturday. A slight chance of thunderstorms could return to north Georgia on Sunday and then increase across north and central Georgia for Monday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is requested until 5 PM across north and central Georgia. Please relay any information about observed severe weather to the NWS while following all local, state, and CDC guidelines.
