$$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 10, 7:46 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 7:46 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 746 PM EDT Sun Apr 10 2022 .UPDATE... The short term forecast remains in good shape, with only minor changes made based on the latest observations. Updated for the 00Z Aviation Discussion. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 340 PM EDT Sun Apr 10 2022/ SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/... Sunny and warm conditions have built into the area this afternoon, a marked reversal from this morning's very chilly temperatures (for April). This warming trend comes as the upper trough that brought the colder conditions the last couple of days has departed with a return to shortwave upper ridging. Meanwhile, the surface high situated over the region this morning continues to push off the Atlantic coast with a return to southwest flow. Thus, temperatures tonight will be much warmer with Monday's lows ranging through the 40s. On Monday, southwest flow will persist at the surface and build in aloft. A weak upper disturbance will bring increased high cloud cover through the day with a few isolated to widely scattered showers possibly affecting far west/northwest Georgia through the afternoon with additional showers possible Monday night in the far north, though any QPF will be light. RW LONG TERM /Tuesday through Sunday/... Zonal flow in place early on Tuesday. The mid level flow turns more SW Tuesday night/early Wednesday ahead of an approaching southern stream shortwave trough. The trough should move through the CWA on Wednesday into Thursday. Zonal flow is expected on the back side of this system, with several pieces of mid level energy expected to move east in the fast flow through the weekend. A weak front is situated to the north of the CWA early Tuesday. This boundary should stay to the north of the CWA, but could spur a could of showers through the middle of the week across far north Georgia. Low level moisture will increase through the week, but the deepest moisture should stay to the west until late Wednesday as a strong cold front moves east of the Mississippi River. This system will have the potential to bring strong, possibly even severe thunderstorms. NListemaa && .AVIATION... 00Z Update... VFR conditions will persist across north and central Georgia through the TAF period. Mostly clear conditions overnight will be replaced by SCT to BKN high clouds between 15-25 kft by late Monday morning and through the afternoon. S to SW winds will diminish to 3-5 kts overnight, then increase through the morning to 8-11 kts by 17-18Z on Monday. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... High confidence on all elements.
