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 Feb 4, 6:25 AM EST, 2 hours 19 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 4, 6:25 AM EST, 2 hours 19 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
625 AM EST Fri Feb 4 2022

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 318 AM EST Fri Feb 4 2022/

SHORT TERM /Today through Saturday/...
The long wave trough and surface front will slowly swing through
the forecast area through late this evening. A line of convection
ahead of the system is currently moving through portions of
central and east Georgia with thunderstorms producing locally
heavy rainfall and frequent lightning. The heavy rain and thunder
should diminish across the Atlanta metropolitan area by 4am,
Athens and Columbus between 4-5 am and should move through the
Macon area between 4-7am. HI-RES models continue to show the line
of thunderstorms weakening as it moves south and east across the
area this morning with locally heavy rainfall becoming the main
threat. Models are in good agreement bringing another swath of
rain through the area as the front moves through. Will continue
the Flood Watch for flash flooding through 1 pm this afternoon and
have included areas along and north of a line from Columbus to
Thomaston to Homer. Areas east of the watch area may see
locally heavy rain continue into the afternoon hours with POPs
diminishing this evening through midnight, however this area has
not seen the the amount of rainfall over the past several days and
should see a slower response to the rainfall.

Low clouds will remain across much of north Georgia through early
afternoon with a slow improvement expected behind the front from
northwest to southeast through daybreak tomorrow. Should see drier
conditions by tomorrow with mostly clear skies. Continued to stay
close to guidance temperatures through the period.

Atwell

LONG TERM /Saturday Night through Thursday/...
Old cold front will remain stalled across the Florida peninsula
through the middle of next week. Several areas of low pressure are
expected to develop along the old boundary and move out into the
western Atlantic. Run to run consistency with where/when the lows
development hasn't been great. Models are currently progging a low
pressure to develop off the NE Florida coast late Sunday. This system
should move up the coast of the Carolinas and then out into the
Western Atlantic by Tuesday. Some precip on the back side of this
low is possible, especially across SE portions of the CWA. The front
will remain active through early next week, with a couple more waves
developing and then moving out into the Atlantic. At this time, the
potential for any additional rainfall should remain in the far
southeastern portion of the CWA.

By late Wednesday, high pressure will build in from the west and
will push the front further away from the CWA. A cold front may
impact the CWA by late Thursday into Friday, but moisture looks
limited at this time.
