$$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 27, 7:53 AM EDT, 4 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 27, 7:53 AM EDT, 4 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 753 AM EDT Mon Mar 27 2023 ...New 12Z Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 349 AM EDT Mon Mar 27 2023 Torrential rainfall will continue tonight and into the morning hours. Some areas have already received 4 inches of rain across central Georgia south of I-20. Some of these storms have been extremely efficient rain producers with up to 2" per hour. Up to 3 additional inches may fall overnight as a result, isolated flash flooding is possible. If you have to drive, please exercise extreme caution as high water will be difficult to recognize. The axis for precipitation should begin pushing south early this afternoon, and finally come to an end late this evening for areas of south and central GA. The front that has caused so many problems for the south will likely stall somewhere north of the FL panhandle and as a result another wave of precipitation will be likely for Tuesday. While rainfall totals will remain less than a quarter of an inch, areas that have been saturated will likely see quick flash flooding responses and swollen rivers may react quickly to additional rainfall. Temperatures will remain seasonal through the short term, with highs in the upper 60s and 70s. However, overnight lows could reach freezing, especially across NE Georgia after the front moves through. A frost advisory may be necessary for some areas of northern GA. Vaughn && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 349 AM EDT Mon Mar 27 2023 I'm on a roll and everyone else is busy so I'll be your long term forecaster for this morning as well. The front will finally kick out and return dry weather to the area come Wednesday. Cooler temps will settle in on the backside of the front, with temps comfortably in the mid 60s for the highs and overnight lows in the low 40s with some 30s in the higher elevation. Temps will start to rebound on Thursday as warm moist air advects back into the area once again and we're back in the 80s come Friday. On Saturday our chance for thunderstorms returns as a cold front pushes in from the west. There is some discrepancies between the major models. The GFS has a sharp cold front that pushes through relatively quickly. The EURO shows another boundary that stalls across the area as the upper level dynamics turn more zonal and the low levels get cut off from the parent low. This is ultimately what drives the uncertainty in the weekends PoPs which have been capped for now at slightly. In the Euro's solution a boundary that sets up may be able to tap into dewpoints in the upper 60s. A weak disturbance in the upper level flow may be all it takes to set off more severe weather. Capped thunder at chance for much of the CWA until a better picture comes into view. Vaughn && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 752 AM EDT Mon Mar 27 2023 Conditions are set to rapidly improve for ATL this TAF period. A cold front will push remaining TSRA out of ATL by 15Z. CIGS should rise to VFR shortly after. Winds are pick up this afternoon after 18Z and become NW. CSG and MCN will likely continue to see TSRA until after 18Z with damaging winds and large hail possible. //ATL Confidence...12Z Update... Medium to high on all elements.
