$$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 5, 1:27 PM EDT, 1 hour 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 1:27 PM EDT, 1 hour 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 127 PM EDT Tue Apr 5 2022 ...Updated for 18Z Aviation Discussion... .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1206 PM EDT Tue Apr 5 2022/ UPDATE... Widespread showers and thunderstorms continue to overspread the CWA this afternoon. The potential for severe weather will continue and a TOR watch has been issued for much of the southern CWA. Primary hazards this afternoon should be damaging wind gusts. A tornado or two cannot be ruled out. SHORT TERM /Today through Wednesday/... Tuesday... An Enhanced Risk Severe Weather Outlook has been forecast for most of Central Georgia today with a threat for widespread damaging wind gusts and several tornadoes possible, one or two of which may be strong or long track. The primary threat will be this afternoon and early evening, south of the I-20 corridor, with the highest severe potential being along and south of a line from Columbus to Macon to Augusta. A strengthening low-level shortwave is currently digging across the Lower Mississippi Valley and will continue moving eastward throughout the day (best illustrated at 700 hPa). This shortwave trough, with an associated low-level jet with winds over 60 kts between 1-3 km aloft, will provide ample low-level lift throughout the region with a weak low-pressure system being pulled across the northern Gulf states through the day on Wednesday that will pull a warm, moist Gulf airmass onto the forecast area throughout the morning. Within this airmass... * PWAT values are expected to surge well over 1.5" as dewpoints rise to the low 60s. * Surface-based CAPE values over 1000 J/kg, possibly as high as 2000 J/kg as afternoon highs reach the upper 60s and 70s. * Abundant low-level shear due to the aforementioned jet manifests as 0-1 km storm-relative helicity values between 150-400 m2/s2. * Quarter-circled shaped hodographs from 0-1.5 km and semi-circled hodographs from 0-6 km, storm relative inflow having nearly 100 percent streamwise vorticity vs crosswise vorticity. These ingredients combined are expected to create numerous severe thunderstorms this afternoon, taking the form of a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) projected to kick through this afternoon with several discrete, strong to potentially severe cells ahead of the main line in the late morning and early afternoon. The primary threats being severe, damaging wind gusts contained in storm downdrafts due to 50+ kt winds at 850 hPa (1 km AGL) being transfered to the ground and tornadoes, with high-resolution models resolving several embedded rotating supercells within a quasi-linear convective line. Other threats include sparse large hail and isolated flash flooding though the messy, fast-moving storm mode will limit these other threats. The shear speed of this system being pushed by the forcing of the shortwave through is perhaps the only thing preventing a larger severe weather outbreak from being forecast. Wednesday... The cold pool following this line of storms won't be all that 'cool' with generally moist adiabatic, thermodynamic profiles. Additionally, the weak surface low-pressure will be short-lived and won't have the ability to pull colder air behind it in the form of a true cold front with a larger, more robust low-pressure system to the north in the western Great Lakes region keeping the area in broad southerly flow. The result means warm, moist air will linger throughout the forecast area. In Central Georgia, a coastal boundary is expected to move into the region with a much weaker shortwave moving over the southern Gulf states aloft. Models are predicting an unorganized cluster of storms to develop. With PWATs increasing to near 2 inches, but shear values being diminished in the area with a lack of stronger synoptic forcing will limit severe potential. A Slight Risk Severe Weather Outlook is forecast for the area as a result. The primary threat for Central Georgia by Wednesday could be flash flooding with the cluster of storms pushing 48-hour rainfall totals to 2.5-4 inches of rain. Current antecedent conditions combine with the sandy Coastal Plains soils types suggest the area may be able to handle a second dose of heavy precip, but will need to be reevaluated after the first round of storms moves through. Furthermore, several questions remain about the recovery of the atmosphere after this initial wave of storms. Strong damaging winds may also be a concern in water- loaded downdrafts, with outside threats for large hail and very brief spin-up tornadoes. In North Georgia, a true cold front will push southwards into the Northwestern corner of Georgia by dusk, with decent moisture and instability recovery expected after the initial wave of storms on Tuesday. A low-end Enhanced Risk Severe Weather Outlook has been issued for the area of far north and northwest Georgia, however, several unresolved questions still exist with this potential sever weather setup. With relatively drier air aloft, models are struggling to produce robust storms in the region along the frontal zone and there is some question if convective storms further south could rob northern Georgia of significant instability. Furthermore, the timing of the system in the late evening could prevent storms from being surface-based, which could prevent storms from harnessing better ow-level wind profiles into tornadic circulations. With these questions in mind, the primary threats will still be damaging wind gusts with a tornado or two possible. Thiem LONG TERM /Wednesday Night through Monday/... By Thursday morning, some lingering stratiform precip. on the periphery of Wednesday's system will be exiting the CWA to the east. The impressive, expansive upper trough that fueled our final round of active weather continues to dig further down across the southeast, with a tight pressure gradient on its outer edge (~20-22 mb difference across GA). As such, gusty gradient winds will be possible through Saturday afternoon when the trough begins to lift across the mid-Atlantic states. Several shortwave disturbances rounding the inner edge of the trough will lead to increased cloud cover and brief bursts of rain across north GA on Friday into Saturday. A surface high from over the Gulf and stout upper ridging break the active pattern as they settle in across the southeast on Sunday to round off the weekend and take us through the beginning of the work week. Temperatures will be quite cool for April standards following the cold frontal passage on Thursday night. Highs will stall out in the mid-50s to 60s, 12-15 degrees below average; lows through the weekend will be in the 30s, about 5-10 degrees below average. As the surface high begins to drift across the southeast Sunday, winds shift to be primarily from the southeast, and temperatures recover to seasonable highs in the 70s-80s and lows in the 40s. 96 && .AVIATION... 18Z Update... IFR/LIFR cigs and visbys at metro TAF sites. Expecting trend to continue through the afternoon as convection moves across the area, exiting around 20z. Winds go SW around 20z between 8-12kts, with some gusts up to 22-25kts possible within heavier rain bands. MVFR cigs through the evening with lighter SW winds, dropping into IFR once more overnight through the morning. Have recovery to MVFR by tomorrow afternoon but low confidence. Introduced PROB30 for incoming afternoon convection tomorrow. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update...

A line of showers and scattered thunderstorms will move through the area on Wednesday afternoon. Some storms may become strong to severe and capable of producing damaging wind gusts and isolated large hail. A brief tornado or two are possible. Localized flooding and flash flooding is possible, especially in areas that received heavy rainfall on Tuesday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
