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 Jan 9, 9:52 PM EST, 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 9:52 PM EST, 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
952 PM EST Tue Jan 9 2024

...Evening Update...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 943 PM EST Tue Jan 9 2024

Forecast remains on track for this evening. Despite briefly
slackening after sunset, gusty winds have picked back up over the
past hour or two. A Wind Advisory remains in effect for areas
south and east of I-85 until 1 AM EST, with gusts to 35 mph
possible. Periods of a light rain/snow mix, a light rain/sleet
mix, or light snow showers are possible until very early Wednesday
morning for areas north of a line extending from Polk to Banks
counties. Accumulation will be minimal to negligible -- a dusting
to perhaps an inch for highest elevations -- with minimal to no
travel impacts expected.

96

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Wednesday)
Issued at 249 PM EST Tue Jan 9 2024

Now that all the severe weather has exited the area, things should
overall be calmer through the short term period. A swath of showers
extending from Wilkes Count to Wilcox county is moving southeastward
across the area which will ultimately move completely out of the
CWA in the next couple of hours. Behind this swath of showers is
elevated showers across the area using up leftover moisture and
energy behind the line. Generally this is not reaching the ground
but a couple of areas may see very light precip. Precip estimates
over the past 24hrs has shown widespread ares of 2-3" with many
areas at 3-4" and some areas from 4-5+" especially just south of
I- 85. This has ultimately led to flash flood warnings in these
areas and then many river flood warnings especially in the metro.

Looking at tonight into tomorrow morning, things could get a tad
interesting when it comes to winter weather. With how powerful the
low pressure system is, as it sweeps northward into the northeast
today, leftover energy will result in wrap around precip in the form
of snow showers over much of north GA mainly north of the metro.
Accumulations are expected to be from 0.5-1" in elevations mostly
>1500 ft. Currently have an SPS out for this so check that for any
further details you may want/need.

Looking at winds, we have allowed the High Wind Warning to expire
and have replaced it with a wind advisory until 00z (7pm) tonight.
We have two wind advisories in place. The first one encompasses
north GA and central GA from the Athens area southwest to just
north of Columbus. This advisory will likely be allowed to expire
at 00z (7pm). The second wind advisor is for the remainder of
central GA to southeast central GA, which will expire at 06z
(1am). This will also likely be allowed to expire at that time.
Ultimately when looking at the 925mb winds, they are still in the
40-50kt range which as has been seen through today will continue
to mix down with gusts from 30- 40kts across the area. The first
advisory is where the winds will taper off first as the jet moves
eastward and ultimately out of the second advisory area by 06z
tonight.

For tomorrow, still expecting cloudy skies for much of the day
before clearing begins tomorrow night which will ultimately lead to
some clear skies before the next system (Friday) that is talked
about in the long term period. Temps today have already reached
their max across much of the area and are expected to continue to
drop into the low to mid 30s across the area with upper 20s in the
northeast. Tomorrow, only expecting temps to top out in the 45-55
degree range before dipping down into the low to mid 30s again
tomorrow night.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday morning through next Monday)
Issued at 249 PM EST Tue Jan 9 2024

Very little change to the long term forecast. Friday continues to
have potential for strong to severe weather. Ensembles for the
beginning of the week have quite a bit of spread on timing and
potential for winter weather, so PoPs remain a bit spread out.
Best chances for seeing a snowflake fly remains across north
Georgia.

See previous discussion below.

(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 445 AM EST Tue Jan 9 2024

Key Messages:

 - Another storm system will bring showers and thunderstorms to the
   area late Thursday night and Friday. Some thunderstorms may be
   strong.

Colder and drier air will continue to filter into the area Wednesday
night on the heels of the departing cold front and upper trough.
Most locations will drop to near or just below freezing Wednesday
night, with mid 20s across portions of the NE mountains. Warmer
temperatures are forecast for Thursday, with most locations reaching
into the mid to upper 50s and even some lower 60s across the S.

Another storm system will approach the area Thursday night, bringing
a chance of showers and thunderstorms. This system will lift NE on
Friday as a negatively tilted trough, reaching the Great Lakes by
Friday night. A 996 mb surface low is progged to be near Little Rock
by Friday morning. A large area of isentropic lift is forecast to
precede the low, with increasing MUCAPE and wind shear across most
of the forecast area. There will be another threat of severe weather
with this system during the day Friday, and the threat area looks to
be farther to the N than with today's system. GFS MUCAPE values are
forecast to reach near 1000 J/kg as effective shear increases to
over 40 knots in the Atlanta metro area. This will coincide maximum
daytime heating in the early afternoon, with surface temperatures
reaching over 60 degrees and dew points reaching the lower to mid
50s. The wedge/CAD is forecast to hang into NE GA during this time
period, but present indications are that it will be NE of the
Atlanta metro area. Storm total rainfall amounts with this system are
forecast to range from around a quarter inch S of Columbus to close
to an inch across N GA. Residents should continue to monitor the
latest forecast regarding this storm system.

A bit of snow will linger over the N mountains Friday night, but dry
weather is forecast to return on Saturday. Temperatures will be
rather cold over the weekend, with the potential of even colder
weather early next week. A weak southern stream storm system may
move along the Gulf Coast on Monday, bringing light rain amounts and
the chance for frozen precipitation across N GA. NBM low
temperatures Tuesday morning appeared to be too cold. Even though
this was at the tail end of the forecast period, opted to blend 2
parts operational NBM with 1 part NBM 90th percentile to bump low
temperatures up closer to MEX MOS guidance.
