$$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 Sep 26, 2:41 PM EDT, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 26, 2:41 PM EDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 241 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024 ...Afternoon Area Forecast Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Friday) Issued at 213 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024 No major changes have been made to the forecast other than tweaks to the wind forecast based on the latest NHC Helene track. Hurricane Helene continues to intensify over the E Gulf of Mexico, with expected landfall around the FL Big Bend area this evening. Helene will be moving quickly N after she makes landfall, with a potentially large area under the threat of hurricane or tropical storm force winds overnight tonight into Friday morning. The Predecessor Rain Event from Wednesday saturated soils across much of the area, so additional rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches across much of the area are likely. Locally higher amounts are possible, particularly in the more persistent, training rain bands and over the NE terrain. WPC has much of the area under a high excessive rainfall risk. The area-wide Flood Watch remains in effect. The risk of tornadoes continues, mainly along and to the E of Helene's path. We've already seen rotating cells over the SE corner of the County Warning Area (CWA). That area is also closer to some sizable breaks in the overcast across the JAX CWA and more unstable air. However, even low CAPE values will support isolated tornadoes. SPC issued a Tornado Watch earlier which remains valid until this evening. We have opted to expand this watch a bit farther to the W. Additional expansions are possible, followed by a possible new watch later. Preparations for strong winds and additional heavy rainfall should be rushed to completion before sunset today! /SEC && .LONG TERM... (Saturday morning through next Wednesday) Issued at 213 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024 Fortunately, much quieter conditions are expected next week in the wake of Helene. Aside from ongoing flooding concerns on rivers and larger waterways, only minimal PoPs are included in far north Georgia around the lingering cutoff low through the weekend. The remainder of the long term period next week currently looks dry. The cutoff low finally lifts northeastward and weak northwest flow aloft builds into the region before weak ridging builds eastward by late week. Temperatures will be largely near seasonal averages. RW && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 153 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024 Not too much change to previous forecast besides bringing in improving conditions at the end of the period as Helene continues to lift N. Until that time, IFR to LIFR conditions will be prevalent with the lowest vsbys in tropical rainbands. Winds will steadily increase through the evening with maximum wind gusts between midnight and daybreak at most locations. //ATL Confidence...18Z Update... Medium for all elements.

For more details, please refer to the latest Flash Flood Watch and Hurricane Local Statement. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday... Heavy rain and tropical storm conditions will improve as Helene moves quickly north and out of the state by midday Friday. Flooding of larger creeks and rivers will persist into the weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters should be prepared for activation tonight into Friday morning.
