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 28, 3:48 AM EDT, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
348 AM EDT Tue Mar 28 2023

...Tuesday Morning Area Forecast Discussion...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 345 AM EDT Tue Mar 28 2023

We'll start off the day with some dense fog south of a line from
Columbus to Macon. Visibility's have already to fallen to less than
1/4 mile in some areas. As the fog lifts, activity will resume along
the problem child of a front that has stuck with us over the past
few days. And while we could see some showers and thunderstorms
across south and central Georgia we're not anticipating another day
of severe weather in our CWA.

Rainfall totals should be at 3/4" of an inch or less with the
heavies axis of precip falling in south Georgia, out of our CWA. We
aren't anticipating any widespread flooding as the areas expecting
rain today did not experience the torrential rainfall of yesterday.
However, isolated areas of localized flash flooding could be
possible over areas of training storms.

Come Wednesday, the front finally pushes out and we can all take a
deep breath and enjoy what promises to be a beautiful sunny day.
Highs will be in the mid to upper 60s with overnight lows in the mid
to low 40s with some upper 30s possible across the highest elevation
of northern Georgia.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 345 AM EDT Tue Mar 28 2023

The long term begins with a relieving surface high pressure in
place, but an upper-level pattern beginning to become more active.
This active pattern will begin with the onset of mid-level ridging
which will continue the dry pattern under northwest flow aloft
locally, but will begin to advect moisture into the Great Plains and
Lower Mississippi River Valley regions further upstream. The surface
high pressure, forecast over the Midwest Wednesday Night, will slide
southeastward towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline underneath the
sinking airmass ahead of the ridging pattern. Winds begin to shift
out of the east on Thursday, with PWATs slowly increasing with flow
coming off the western Atlantic.

By Friday morning, the mid-level ridge axis will push east of the
forecast area, placing the region under positive, mid-level
vorticity advection and weak ascent, with surface/low-level return
flow out of the south by mid-day. The advection off the warmer Gulf
waters will allow PWATs to surge from 0.5" early Friday to 1.5"
Friday afternoon/evening. More broadly, the longwave trough
currently pushing southward across the western CONUS coastline
adding even more rain and snow to the west coast is projected to be
over the MidWest Friday night. This longwave will have an associated
surface low positioned near Iowa around the same time frame which is
forecast to quickly occlude during the overnight time frame. A cold
front, associated with the MidWestern low, will push eastward on
Friday through Saturday, producing severe weather across the mid-
Mississippi River Valley on Friday, but as the front nears our local
forecast area it will begin to lose its vigor due to the occlusion
of the parent low and reduced convergence along the frontal boundary
due to the fronts orientation pivoting to SW to NE. The result is
forecast to be a line of loosely organized convection early Saturday
morning through the afternoon. Daytime heating will likely increase
instability across Central Georgia ahead of the storms with MUCAPE
being boosted to 1000-2000 J/kg, but with weakening dynamics it
remains to be seen if any storms become strong to severe locally.

Behind the front, a short-lived high pressure will settle in to
start the next week, but by Monday afternoon, return flow will
resume with chances for scattered convection appearing once again.
