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 25, 6:35 AM EST, 2 hours 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 25, 6:35 AM EST, 2 hours 51 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Peachtree City GA
635 AM EST Thu Jan 25 2024

.UPDATE...
Issued at 634 AM EST Thu Jan 25 2024

Ended the Dense Fog Advisory a little early. Visibilities
continue to improve above one quarter of a mile.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday Night)
 Issued at 337 AM EST Thu Jan 25 2024

Wedge still in place across far NE portions of the CWA this morning.
Temperatures are fairly uniform, but vsbys continue to be low within
the wedge. Do think what is left of the wedge will erode through the
remainder of the morning. The airmass remains saturated with PWATS
well above 2SD above normal and is expected to remain so through
Saturday.

A wave of moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall is moving in from
the west. The hi-res models have somewhat of a handle on current
conditions, and lift this area of precip northward through the
morning and early afternoon. A break in the widespread precip is
likely later this morning and into the afternoon hours. The hi res
convective models do bring a line of showers and thunderstorms
through central AL late in the afternoon. Most of the guidance
weakens this line as is approaches GA. This solution seems
reasonable. However, a rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out. Where
there are thunderstorms, locally heavy rainfall will be possible.

A break in the widespread precip is likely overnight and into early
Friday. Only a minor shortwave is noted in the flow for Friday
afternoon. This feature could provide a more organized area of
locally heavy rainfall for portions GA, especially if breaks in the
clouds occur and the airmass destabilizes. However, confidence is
low, because the models do not typically handle these perturbations
well. Even though widespread precip may not occur on Friday, with
the ground saturated within the Flood Watch area, localized flooding
will remain possible - especially where stronger showers or
isolated thunderstorms are able to develop.

Low pressure and a frontal boundary will move through the area on
Saturday. This front and low will provide enough lift for
widespread precipitation across much of the CWA. Another round of
moderate to heavy rainfall is likely. Will go ahead and extend the
Flood Watch through 00Z Sun.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 337 AM EST Thu Jan 25 2024

Dry conditions will persist for Sunday through Wednesday. Slightly
below normal temps are anticipated on Monday, but will quickly
moderate to near or slightly above normal for the remainder of
the week.

NListemaa

&&

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 626 AM EST Thu Jan 25 2024

Widespread rain impacting cigs and vsbys. The area of rain should
lift northward by mid morning, but cigs should remain LIFR/IFR
until the late afternoon. Cigs could lift to high IFR/low MVFR
temporarily. Sct shra and isold tsra are possible during this
time. Will keep mention of thunder out for now. Cigs should drop
again after dark. South winds are expected for much of the
afternoon, with winds going to the SW side during the early
afternoon but will stay around 170-190. Model guidance suggests
the winds will stay on the SW side, but there is some small
potential since speeds are so light that direction will continue
to want to stay around 170-180.

//ATL Confidence...12Z Update...
Med confidence all elements.
