$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 7, 3:14 PM EDT, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 3:14 PM EDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 314 PM EDT Mon Aug 7 2023 ...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Tuesday) Issued at 238 PM EDT Mon Aug 7 2023 Key Messages: - A widespread wind damage threat is evolving this afternoon and could continue through late evening across the forecast area. SPC has included an Enhanced risk (level 3 out of 5) for much of the area. Tornadoes will be possible, mainly across Northern GA, however, the wind threat should be considered the dominate impact. - An Excessive Heat warning has been issued for portions of Middle GA. Heat index values are in excess of 110 for several counties. A heat advisory is in effect for much of the remainder of Central GA through 8 pm. - Thunderstorms are again in the forecast for Tuesday with a Slight Risk in effect for much of Middle GA. Damaging winds will be the main concern. Today and tonight: A lot happening this afternoon and in the short term. Lets start with heat. Mid 90 temps and upper 70 dewpoints across West central GA have led to heat index values exceeding 110 in several locations so a Excessive Heat warning was introduced through early evening for a portion of the Heat Advisory area. Severe threat... 18z FFC sounding is juicy to say the least. Observed 5390 J/KG CAPE, nearly 1500 DCape and sufficient shear in place to support organized severe storms. Similarly to what we experienced a few weeks ago across North GA not out of the question given that amount of instability and slightly more jet dynamics in play this time around. Expect the clusters of storms across northern GA and Northern AL to congeal into more of a line that shifts through the region later this afternoon. Damaging winds with that line and within that line would be expected to be widespread given the status of the environment its moving into. Analyzed helicity values on the margin for some tornadoes so a few cannot be ruled out, however, the main focus should be on the damaging wind threat through this evening. Expect that line to continue south through the CWA. There is some uncertainty with the intensity of the line as it reaches the area south of Macon/Columbus but certainly unstable enough to support severe storms. Tuesday: Another wave is still progged to slide east out of OK/AR and potentially develop into an MCS which may clip the southern sections of the CWA late Tue afternoon/early evening. There are some discrepancies on the northward extent of the convection with the WRF FV3 the furthest north into the I20 corridor and the NAM Nest and WRF ARW further south across southwestern and south central GA. SPC does highlight a slight risk across that southern tier of counties more inline with the NAM nest and ARW. Stellman && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday morning through next Sunday) Issued at 238 PM EDT Mon Aug 7 2023 The long term forecast remains on track. Model guidance continues to prog a potent disturbance kicking out of the Plains that could bring yet another round of impactful weather on Thursday afternoon. Bulk shear ranging from 35 to 60+KT across north Georgia coinciding with 2000-3000+ J/kg of SBCAPE will merit a watchful eye in the coming days for the threat of severe weather. See the previous discussion below for more details regarding the extended forecast. KAL && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 224 PM EDT Mon Aug 7 2023 Main concerns will be thunderstorms and timing. Now that a solid line of storms appears to be taking shape we can put a little more confidence on timing for the sites later this afternoon/evening. CAMS still struggling with any redevelopment behind the main line and if there will be any but for now will assume the airmass stabilizes behind the main surge. Added prob30 for Tuesday as most convection is forecast to remain across central GA sites however there is some guidance suggesting some development post 18z across metro sites. Winds outside of TS will remain west and gusty this afternoon. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update...

A Heat Advisory is in place across central Georgia from noon to 8 PM today due to expected heat indices in the 105 to 110 degree range. An Excessive Heat Warning is furthermore in effect in portions of west-central Georgia until 8 PM with heat indices approaching 115 degrees. Be sure to take the necessary steps to stay cool and hydrated. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday... There is a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for thunderstorms with damaging winds in central Georgia on Tuesday. Periods of thunderstorm activity will continue through next Sunday. The highest storm chances will occur during the afternoon and evening hours each day. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested but spotters are encouraged to submit reports of severe weather through the web by going to weather.gov/atlanta. Please relay any information about observed severe weather to the NWS while following all local, state, and CDC guidelines.
