What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill 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 wind chill warning went out at Dec 21, 2:52 PM EST, 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 21, 2:52 PM EST, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 252 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2022 ...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Thursday) Issued at 247 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2022 Wedge is in place across the northern portion of the CWA this afternoon. A weak wave of low pressure is situated off the NE FL/SE GA coasts. Models have the low pressure meandering up the SE coast overnight into early Thursday then moving onshore later in the afternoon/evening. Not confident on exactly how far inland across the Carolinas this low will make it, especially if the wedge gets reinforced overnight with precip. Clouds have begun to break with some sunshine beginning to peek through. Do expect clouds to fill back in overnight, with some patchy rain developing during the evening on the back side of the weak low pressure system. P-Type should mostly be rain, but some sleet could mix in across the higher elevations at onset. No ice accumulation is anticipated at this time. A brief break in the precip is possible tomorrow afternoon ahead of the arctic front. Precipitation associated with the front should begin to impact the far NW corner of the CWA by 00Z and rapidly progress eastward during the overnight hours. Since the system is moving so quickly, this will limit QPF values. Very cold air is on the back side of this front, so a brief sw or rwsw mix is possible immediately behind the front. Very little snow accumulation is anticipated, with the highest values possible across the higher terrain of north GA. Winds will also pick up behind the front and a Wind Advisory will likely need to be issued sometime tomorrow. NListemaa && .LONG TERM... (Friday morning through next Tuesday) Issued at 247 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2022 The big story for this forecast cycle will continue to be the anomalously cold temperatures settling into the area. The Arctic cold front will be in the process of rapidly sweeping across the forecast area at the onset of the period Friday morning. Any light precipitation will have ended by sunrise Friday, and temperatures will be crashing from northwest to southeast. Air temperatures will remain in the teens for areas north of metro Atlanta through the day Friday with temperatures struggling to breach the 20 degree mark Friday afternoon in and around the Atlanta metro. Farther south, temperatures will be dropping towards and below the freezing mark through the day. As northwest winds of 15-25 mph and gusts over 30 mph will persist on Friday, frigid wind chill values will remain in the single digits in north Georgia to as low as -10 in the north Georgia mountains during the day, dropping even colder Friday night despite winds beginning to slacken. Wind chill values Friday night into Saturday morning will drop below zero across all of north Georgia to as cold as -15 to -20 in the higher elevations of the north Georgia mountains with values in the single digits above zero elsewhere. Thus, a Wind Chill Warning will be in effect for north Georgia for forecast wind chill values below -10 while a Wind Chill Advisory will be in effect for the remainder of the forecast area. Saturday morning (Christmas Eve) will bring the coldest temperatures of this event with lows ranging through the single digits for areas north of I-20 into the teens for the remainder of the area. Temperatures will remain below freezing through the day Saturday with widespread teens again Sunday (Christmas) morning. A slow moderation in temperatures begins Sunday with temperatures rising above freezing in central Georgia and nearing or briefly breaching the freezing mark finally in parts of north Georgia, including metro Atlanta. Thereafter, conditions will remain chilly for several days but will continue to edge warmer each day. Any appreciable precipitation chances look to hold off until beyond the end of the current forecast period. RW && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1227 PM EST Wed Dec 21 2022 Sct-bkn cigs around 030-035 for the remainder of the afternoon. Do think skies will go cloudy again near dark with MVFR cigs lowering to IFR/LIFR. Some patchy light rain is possible overnight tapering off to drizzle and fog by the early morning hours. Some improvement in cigs tomorrow afternoon with a brief dry period before precip becomes possible again in the evening. //ATL Confidence...Avi Update... Med confidence.
