$$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 Jan 4, 6:40 AM EST, 3 hours 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 4, 6:40 AM EST, 3 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 640 AM EST Wed Jan 4 2023 ...New 12Z Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 408 AM EST Wed Jan 4 2023 A tornado watch has been issued to start off the morning for a line south of the I-20 corridor. The south and central regions of the CWA are still seeing temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s at the time of this AFD. Any additional heating before the front arrives will continue to prime the environment for another round of strong to severe storms south I-20. The primary threats in this morning's watch area will be damaging winds and the possibility of isolated tornadoes. Moderate SBCAPE values of 1500 J/KG and effective bulk shear exceeding 60kts. Any storm that forms in this sector will also be working with SRH values near 400 m2/s2 so rotation and mesocyclones can be expected even with non tornado producing storms. We've already seen embedded supercells in the line as it approaches, and conditions are favorable for the formation of discrete supercells out ahead of the line. The situation continue to evolve and remain complex, please continue to monitor the forecast for the most up to date information concerning on going watches and warnings. A flood watch will remain in effect until Wednesday night, and additional rainfall of up to two inches are possible with isolated higher totals in areas of training storms. While no additional counties have been added during this mornings forecast period, heavy rain continues to fall just north of the metro ATL area and training storms just north of I-20 will need to be watched closely for flash flooding as more rain continues to fall. The front should clear the area after 7PM today and and cooler temperatures and clear weather will eventually push in for Thursday. Temps in the mid to upper 60s will be likely for tomorrow as winds turn more westerly, but we still remain around 10 degrees above average; a trend that will likely continue through the long term. Vaughn && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 408 AM EST Wed Jan 4 2023 A comparatively cooler and drier airmass will be in place across north and central Georgia as the extended period begins on Friday. An upper level ridge and associated surface high will move over the Southeast on Friday, which will keep weather conditions benign and skies mostly clear across the region on Friday and Saturday. Low temperatures are forecast to drop into the 30s across the forecast area as the morning begins. Afternoon highs will still be 3-6 degrees above climatological normals, but no longer pushing record values, rising into the mid 50s in north Georgia and upper 50s to low 60s in central Georgia. After starting the morning in the mid 30s across the area on Saturday, temperatures will climb under the influence of the ridge, reaching into the low to mid 60s across the area in the afternoon. A weak frontal system will drop into north Georgia on Saturday night into Sunday. However, low-level moisture and instability continue to appear limited across the area, so a slight chance of showers with no thunderstorms has been maintained across north Georgia for Saturday night into Sunday. The frontal boundary is anticipated to sag into north Georgia before stalling and washing out early Monday. Model guidance continues to diverge on the upper level flow pattern during the early portions of next week. The potential remains for additional waves to traverse the remnant boundary, so slight to low- end chance PoPs have been maintained on Monday and Tuesday. The potential for a wintry mix in the higher elevations of northeast Georgia will need to be monitored at the tail-end of the period, as there is a slight chance that precip overrunning the frontal zone may overlap with border-line freezing temperatures in this area Monday night into Tuesday morning. King && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 639 AM EST Wed Jan 4 2023 The strongest TSRA has cleared ATL and continues to move East. TSRA is still possible with gusty winds until 16Z today. Some lingering RA will begin to dissipate after 18Z as WX clears the area. Some gusts in remaining TSRA could be up to 20kts with IFR cigs in convection and MVFR outside. CIGS should become VFR after 18Z. //ATL Confidence...Avi Update... Medium on WX timing end. Medium to high on all other elements. Vaughn && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
