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 Mar 26, 3:35 PM EDT, 1 hour 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 26, 3:35 PM EDT, 1 hour 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 335 PM EDT Sun Mar 26 2023 ...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday) Issued at 326 PM EDT Sun Mar 26 2023 The very active weather period will continue through the next 24 hours or so with additional waves of showers and thunderstorms expected. This all comes courtesy of a slowly-northward-progressing surface warm front that remains stretched across the area generally in the vicinity of I-20 at this hour. While showers and thunderstorms linger in the vicinity of this boundary this afternoon, coverage and intensity has greatly waned as compared to this morning. Earlier severe weather which brought tornadoes, large hail, and flash flooding initiated courtesy of a shortwave traversing along the boundary this morning, and the next round of storms tonight will also be sparked in this manner. The next in our series of disturbances will lift from the northern Gulf Coast along the warm front from this afternoon into this evening, with convection already sparking ahead of it at this hour. While additional isolated thunderstorm development is possible over the next few hours, hi-res CAMs are in fairly good agreement that more widespread development is favored around and after 00Z ahead of this wave. Additionally, a weak surface low will develop along the front and lift into the Tennessee Valley tonight into early Monday morning. Widespread showers and thunderstorms will thus overspread the area overnight, and hi-res guidance has increasingly indicated storms will congeal into a cluster or complex as they progress eastward. These storms along and south of the warm front will pose a severe threat with damaging wind gusts and hail being most probable, though a tornado threat will also exist as low-level shear increases overnight into early Monday morning. Additionally, there will be an ongoing risk for flash flooding, particularly given that a swath of the area has received 1-3" of rainfall with local totals upwards of 5" already today. With additional amounts of 1-3" with locally higher additional amounts, flash flooding would develop quickly. A Flood Watch for flash flooding remains in effect through 12Z across this area where the most significant rainfall totals have already occurred and additional heaviest totals are forecast. This area is also highlighted by a Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall from WPC. Showers and thunderstorms will be shunted to the southeast through the day on Monday as a cold front finally makes headway into north Georgia. Drier and sunny conditions will spread into north Georgia during the afternoon behind the front. Ongoing thunderstorms will be largely be relegated to the southeast CWA by early afternoon, though these storms could pose a continued severe risk. Activity should finally exit the area by late afternoon/early evening Monday. RW && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday morning through next Saturday) Issued at 326 PM EDT Sun Mar 26 2023 See Previous Long-Term Discussion Below... Issued at 346 AM EDT Sun Mar 26 2023 A short-lived reprieve from a very active Short Term period will begin Monday night as a weak frontal boundary stalls across Central Georgia once again. With a reinforcing push from a drier, continental airmass on its way, one final wave of precipitation is expected Tuesday morning and afternoon. A weak upper-level impulse will be moving embedded within quasi-zonal flow aloft with just enough moisture and lift to squeezed out a round of numerous, light showers and isolated thunderstorms primarily across Central Georgia ahead of a stronger cold front forecast on Tuesday Night. By Wednesday, a surface high pressure will finally dominate the weather pattern across the state as surface dewpoints drop into the mid 30s in North Georgia and mid 40s in Central Georgia. This break in the active weather is expected to last roughly through Friday, with some mid-level ridging setting up on Thursday morning through Friday morning before upper-level southwesterly flow sets in. With the surface high pressure in place, temperatures are expected to gradually climb each day with highs in the upper 60s forecast on Wednesday climb to near 80 on Friday. Additionally, PWATs will also gradually increase as mid- and upper-level moisture advect in to the area over the surface high with values jumping from 0.25-0.50 inches on Wednesday morning to around 1.25 inches on Friday afternoon, priming the area for the next round of active showers and storms. On Saturday, an upper-level shortwave with an accompanied low pressure system across the MidWest will pull up Gulf moisture into the region before a cold front enters the Southeastern CONUS. Model consensus is pretty high currently, but seeing how this is well in the extended forecast, changes may occur in the coming days. However, at this moment rain showers and thunderstorms are once again expected, though there's hope that at least this system could be one that exits quickly and doesn't linger for several days. Thiem && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 141 PM EDT Sun Mar 26 2023 A very complex forecast will be in place over this TAF period with rounds of showers and storms as well as reduced cigs/vsbys. Initial shra/tsra have shifted largely south of ATL area sites, though shra could potentially approach sites through this afternoon. Otherwise, cigs will vary between MVFR and patchy IFR at times this afternoon with IFR becoming predominant after 00Z. Widespread shra/tsra also expected to return after 00Z and spread SE through 12Z. Shra/tsra will end from NW to SE from 12-18Z Monday. Cigs will gradually improve after 15Z. Winds will remain largely SSW this afternoon becoming SSE after 00Z and returning SSW after 06Z at speeds 5-10 kts. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Low to medium on all elements.
