What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flood watch 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 flood watch went out at Jan 23, 12:54 PM EST, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 23, 12:54 PM EST, 1 hour 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 1254 PM EST Tue Jan 23 2024 ...New 18Z Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 350 AM EST Tue Jan 23 2024 High pressure center has moved offshore the the coast of the Carolinas. A wedge will continue to build in from the east today through early Wednesday. Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico has begun to move up and over the cooler wedge this morning. The radar shows some very light echos, but any precipitation falling out of the clouds is having a difficult time overcoming a dry layer aloft. The dry layer aloft will slowly erode today. Forecast soundings show that patchy light rain, drizzle and fog will become very likely by the late afternoon/early evening within the wedge. The wedge will should expand slightly southward overnight...along with the drizzle and fog. The models are showing the wedge eroding on Wednesday. Not confident on exactly how far north the wedge will retreat, since BL winds remain light. Do expect the far NE zones to remain within the wedge. Tuesday's high temps have the potential to be too high, especially if the wedge doesn't erode. NListemaa && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 350 AM EST Tue Jan 23 2024 The extended forecast begins with the wedge of high pressure loosing its grip on NE GA and a large moisture plume extending from the TX Gulf coast to the Mid Atlantic states. The wedge transitions to more of a Bermuda like ridge allowing this moisture plume and incoming frontal boundary from the Mid MS River valley to move across North and Central GA Thu/Fri. All in all we are going to be in store for some unsettled and abnormally warm/moist weather through Sat/Sun morning. The models have been fairly consistent over the past few days with with respect to precipitation output and location. There have been some minor differences with intensity and convective output but it hasnt been that big a deal with the forecast process. As of right now it looks like the more significant moisture arrives with the 2nd wave Wed night/Thu morning with PWATs climbing upwards of 1.6". Convective parameters are mild with CAPE around 500 J/kg and sfc-500mb shear of just over 30kts developing through Thu/Fri behind the initial warm front. This could indicate that a few storms may become strong, but not expecting much in the way of severe weather. For right now, the main threat looks to be locally heavy rainfall with some flooding. Forecast rainfall amounts through the week continue to be unseasonably high. Current forecast 7 day totals range from 2.5 to 5 inches for areas north of a line from LaGrange to Athens. Locally higher amounts are possible. The Weather Prediction Center has this same area under a day 3 Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) and a day 4 Marginal risk (Level 1 of 4) of Excessive Rainfall. There will be a second frontal boundary following directly behind the first one moving across the area Sat. This next front appears to be a bit more organized with decent moisture but still lacking in instability. Will see mainly showers with isolated thunderstorms across the state. The front clears the area by Sat afternoon/evening but we will still see some precip chances with the wrap around moisture through Sun afternoon. A cooler/dryer airmass finally moves back in across the region Monday. Temperatures will be well above normal Thu through Sat with high temps expected in the upper 60s to even low 80s, and lows in the 50s and 60s. 01 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1246 PM EST Tue Jan 23 2024 Wedge will continue to support lowering ceilings and visibilities in fog into the evening hours along with a return to drizzle or light rain later this afternoon and tonight as isentropic lift increases across the area. Exact ceilings and visibilities will be tricky due to the influence/position of the wedge along with patchy nature of the rain. Winds will remain mostly under 10 knots and easterly through most of the period, although winds will begin to veer to more SE very late in the period (particularly in the longer ATL TAF period). Winds at ATL may become almost due S toward the end of the TAF period, but predominant direction should remain E of S. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... High for winds, medium for all other elements.
