What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this freeze 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 freeze warning went out at Mar 18, 2:04 AM EDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 18, 2:04 AM EDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
204 AM EDT Sat Mar 18 2023

...New 06Z Aviation Discussion...

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Saturday)
Issued at 248 PM EDT Fri Mar 17 2023

Cold front approaching attm with sharp NW wind just
behind the rain shield now entering the state.  SPC
outlines a marginal risk area which peaks into the SW portion
of the CWA around the CSG area. Mesoanalysis data suggests some
low surface based CAPE in that area aligned with some 6 to 6.5
deg/km mid level lapse rates will at least allow for some
potential for thunderstorms as the front gets into that region
this afternoon. Shear values are sufficient to support severe if
anything can develop. Albeit chances for severe are low due to
the overall lack of instability, they certainly aren't zero. Once
the front moves through this evening, CAA filters in through
Saturday. Big impact will be how cold it will be this weekend not
to mention windy which will make apparent temps. Freeze warnings
for NW GA tonight followed by a fairly decent freeze on Sunday AM
extending well into Central GA on tap. NBM trended a tad colder on
the latest run and will need to evaluate on following updates if
an extension southward on the freeze watch is needed for Sunday.
Forecast highs on Sunday in the mid to upper 40s will be in the
neighborhood of record low max temps...so the cold incoming is for
real.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday morning through next Thursday)
Issued at 248 PM EDT Fri Mar 17 2023

Sunday morning through next Thursday

The main concern in the extended period will be with freezing
temperatures and light PoPs later in the week. Starting Sunday
morning, temperatures will be cold for this time of the year, but
not unheard of. Mid to upper 20s can be expected north of I85 with
some freezing temperatures as far south as Lagrange. Temperatures in
the mountains of North GA can be expected closer to 20 and valley
cold pooling may see high teens. Because of this, a freeze watch has
been issued for North and Central GA through 15Z Sunday morning.
Conditions should warm up through Thursday as troughing and
northwest CAA give way for ridging and warmer air, with highs near
70 CWA wide Thursday afternoon.

Any PoPs through the long term outlook will be dependent on the high
over the East and Northeast Coast. Tuesday flow pattern keeps us in
E/NE flow and cuts off most moisture from the Gulf, however a system
moving across the Florida peninsula might be able to drive some
light moisture into the Southeast CWA on Tuesday. For now, will keep
PoPs below 10%. PoPs remain near zero as the southern disturbance
passes and the high develops southward. Mid level ridging ahead of
our next system will bring our temperatures to a more seasonable mid
to upper 60s by Thursday. Late Thursday night may see some isolated
showers in far northeast GA.
