$$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 13, 6:30 AM EST, 2 hours 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 13, 6:30 AM EST, 2 hours 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 630 AM EST Sat Jan 13 2024 ...New 12Z Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Sunday) Issued at 344 AM EST Sat Jan 13 2024 At a glance: -Gusty NW winds are expected this morning but will gradually ease this afternoon. The Wind Advisory has been expired. -Cooler but generally calm weather expected for the CWA through the rest of the weekend. As the trough kicks out of here we're left with generally dry conditions on the leading edge of the approaching high pressure. Upper level flow goes zonal by Sunday reinforcing the otherwise dry benign conditions for the CWA. NW winds at 10 to 15 mph could gust up to 25mph this morning. AS the day goes on though, those winds will gradually ease to 5 to 10 mph. Temperatures are expected to run a few degrees below normal with highs in the upper 40s for the northern reaches of GA and upper 50s for the southern part of the CWA. Cold conditions are expected to filter into the area at the beginning of the long term, so get outside and enjoy the nice weather while you can! KAL && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 344 AM EST Sat Jan 13 2024 At a glance: -Some light snow showers are possible across northern Georgia Monday night and into Tuesday morning. Snow totals are expected to be an inch or less. -Cold takes hold of the area Tuesday into Wednesday. Overnight lows are expected to be in the teens across the CWA with wind chill values falling toward 0 in north Georgia. -A gradual warming trend as we go into next weekend, but temps will stay 5 to 10 degrees below normal for this time of year. The long term kicks off as the weekend comes. High temperatures on Monday will be close to what we would expect for this time of year with highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s from north to south. A slight chance of pops will push through the area Monday night into Tuesday morning. Temperatures are expected to fall rapidly as arctic air behind the front rushes into the CWA. The combination of cold temps squeezing the remaining moisture out of the atmosphere will likely result in snow showers across north GA. Up to half an inch is looking more and more likely with totals of an inch possible at the higher elevations. The chance for mixed precip extends as far south as the Atlanta metro area com Tuesday morning, but accumulation is not expected at this time. As the trough quickly moves out of the area cold sets in behind it on Tuesday night into Wednesday. The overnight lows on Tuesday drop into the teens for much of the CWA with wind chills approaching zero for areas along and north of I-85. This will be the first blast of dangerously cold air of the winter season with temperatures running nearly 20 degrees below normal. Daytime highs on Wednesday will struggle to get above freezing and windchill will likely make it feel closer to the teens then the 30s. A very slow warming trend will begin on Thursday and into Friday with daytime highs reaching back into the 40s. However overnight lows will remain below freezing for the rest of the long term forecast and into next weekend. Vaughn && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 630 AM EST Sat Jan 13 2024 MVFR deck over the northwest metro ATL will linger for the next few hours.
