$$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 Apr 8, 12:04 PM EDT, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 12:04 PM EDT, 1 hour 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1204 PM EDT Fri Apr 8 2022 .UPDATE... Clouds are on the increase across north Georgia as a shortwave rotates southward through the deep trough situated over the eastern U.S. In addition to the clouds, breezy conditions can be expected as well as a few intermittent light rain showers in the mountain counties through this evening. RW && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 730 AM EDT Fri Apr 8 2022/ ..Updated for 12Z Aviation Discussion... PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 450 AM EDT Fri Apr 8 2022/ .Morning Area Forecast Discussion... SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/... Unseasonably cold, dry, and windy will be the the theme for the next few days. Winds will be out of the west today, occasionally strong gusts at 30 mph will help dry out the fuels. While minimum RH values aren't expected to fall into Fire Danger statement thresholds, there is a chance our winds will meet the criteria. All interested parties should see the Fire Weather Forecast for more information. As a strong low pressure exits off the east coast today and the jet stream dips deep into the south, and any lingering moisture across the northern part of the state could bring slight chance for showers across the higher elevations of northern GA today. Temperatures are expected to fall to near freezing across the NE Georgia mountains overnight tonight and as a result there could be some mixed precipitation. Today's highs will be in the low 60s and upper 50s, with overnight lows in the mid 30s; with temperatures dropping below freezing in far northern GA. The unseasonably cold temperatures will also bring the risk of frost/freeze to portions of northern Georgia tonight and into tomorrow morning. As a result, a Freeze Warning has been issued for the NE corner of the CWA and a Frost Advisory for the rest of northern GA. Both of which will go into effect beginning at 06Z. Vaughn LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/... A pattern change is in store by the start of the long term as the axis of the sluggish yet robust high-amplitude trough finally passes the forecast area. This will allow the dome of cooler temperatures and low thicknesses to move eastward and will be replaced with an advancing mid-level ridge, setting up dry, northwest flow for the region. As a result temperatures will begin to climb to back to climatological norms and continue increasing each day through the long term. Dewpoints will also steadily climb each day through the long term, starting in the mid 30s on Sunday to near 60 my Thursday. As such relative humidity values will be on the rise as well, but critical Fire Weather thresholds will need to be watched through Monday afternoon. Otherwise, fairly benign weather is expected through Monday with the weather regime dominated by a surface high pressure in the northeastern GOMEX. With the aforementioned ridge axis passing through on Monday morning, the forecast area will return to broad southwesterly flow, increasing moisture in the region. Late Monday into Tuesday, a surface low moving into western Ontario will organize a cold front that will be pushed into the Tennessee River Valley and stall, but not before bringing low-end shower and storm chances to northwest and far north Georgia. As one weaker shortwave passes, a stronger one will take it's place and move across the Northern Plains on Wednesday, organizing a stronger low pressure system. This low will also move into Western Ontario on Thursday, with a stronger front expected to move into Georgia Wednesday Night into Thursday with additional showers and thunderstorms possible. Thiem AVIATION... 12Z Update... VFR CIGS firmly in place through the TAF period; a high BKN deck will move in this afternoon but the flight categories shouldn't change. Winds will remain West but will increase throughout the day with gusts up to 25kts before calming back down to 10kts after sunset. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... High on all elements.

The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low. A Freeze Warning is in effect for the northeast Georgia mountain areas tonight with subfreezing temperatures below 32 degrees are forecast. A Frost Advisory has also been issued for other portions of north Georgia where temperatures near freezing will favor frost formation. These cold temperatures could damage crops and other sensitive outdoor vegetation if left uncovered. Additionally, rapid drying of finer fuels yesterday combined with strong winds this afternoon has prompted a Fire Danger Statement areawide where erratic fire behavior may be observed with ongoing burns. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday... Temperatures are expected to be near or below freezing for portions of North Georgia once again on Sunday morning. These cold temperatures have the potential to damage sensitive vegetation if left uncovered. Relatively benign weather is then expected until the middle of next week when showers and storms will return to the forecast area. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible for portions of northwest Georgia on Tuesday and Wednesday, with isolated thunderstorms expected throughout the area on Thursday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
