$$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 Jun 14, 3:18 PM EDT, 4 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 3:18 PM EDT, 4 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 318 PM EDT Mon Jun 14 2021 .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/... Despite the frontal boundary having relatively little dynamics and very weak shear, there is an ample instability axis of ML/SB CAPE 3500-5000 J/kg along and ahead of. Also fairly high DCAPE to aid momentum transport of downdrafts so cannot rule out some strong to isolated severe development. Coverage should diminish going into the evening and allow for some clearing conditions and light to calm winds. Tuesday will have another boundary push through but even more moisture starved so will mainly be a reinforcing push of a drier airmass, but some enhanced gradient winds will kick in out of the NW and many areas will have winds 10-15 mph gusting 20 mph. Kept a sliver of slight pops in the far south for mainly the afternoon as the boundary and some aided sfc convergence near lingering moisture could trigger some isolated convection, though vast majority of CWA should be dry and mostly sunny. Slightly above normal temps expected for afternoon highs with mid 80s to low 90s in the north to mid 90s in central GA. Baker && .LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/... The cooler and noticeably drier air will remain in place across the area through Thursday before the influence of a weak sub-tropical ridge begins to open the Gulf back up to deeper moisture, heading into the weekend. As mentioned in previous day/s discussions, medium range models have been in good agreement with some sort of tropical wave/low pressure center meandering north across the western Gulf of Mexico over the next 3-5 days. As of this discussion, the National Hurricane Center has a 70 percent chance of this "wave" developing into a tropical system in the next 5 days. Depending on its forward motion/track and intensity, this could become a player for our weather as early as this weekend, possibly stretching into the early and middle part of next week. Of course, much uncertainty remains this far out. Safe to say that moisture and upr lvl energy will increase across the area Fri-Sun with chances for precip gradually going up due to these factors. Temperatures will gradually warm back up by Friday, along with the humidity. Temps become dependent on how widespread rainfall is this weekend. At this time, leaning toward a wetter scenario. DJN.83 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... Mainly SCT/BKN cu field this afternoon near 5 kft and some isolated to scattered SHRA/TSRA along and ahead of a weak front pushing southward so have tempo TSRA 18-21z for northern sites and 20-24z for southern. Mostly NW winds 4-7 kts this afternoon except VRB gusts possible with any TSRA, then calm to light WNW overnight and increasing out of NW for Tuesday 9-14 kts gusting 20-24 kts. Skies becoming mostly clear overnight through Tuesday. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium on overall TSRA coverage this afternoon. High on all else. Baker && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
