$$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 Feb 13, 6:53 AM EST, 2 hours 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 13, 6:53 AM EST, 2 hours 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 653 AM EST Thu Feb 13 2025 .UPDATE... Issued at 652 AM EST Thu Feb 13 2025 Will go ahead and let the Flood Watch expire. The heavy rain has ended within the watch area. However, rises on creeks, streams and rivers is expected today. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Friday) Issued at 332 AM EST Thu Feb 13 2025 Strong wedge is still holding in place across much of north and central GA early this morning. A cold front is currently situated across central AL and is pushing east. A line of showers and thunderstorms has developed out ahead of the front. On the north side of the wedge, the convection remains elevated. However, along the entire line heavy rainfall is occurring. So far, the axis of heavier rainfall has occurred roughly along the Interstate 85 corridor and northward. There is a very narrow band of 4" to 5" totals that stretches from Haralson County through Polk and Bartow counties to Cherokee County. River Flood Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings remain in effect. No changes to the Flood Watch are anticipated at this time. Wedge is well depicted in the observations across the CWA this morning. There has been some erosion on the SW side and the boundary looks to be just north of CSG. Where the wedge has eroded, storms will be able to become surface based and tap into a little instability. South of the wedge, a few strong storms will be possible early this morning. Strong, gusty winds would be likely within any of the stronger storms (along with the heavy rainfall). Line of convection is moving at a fairly decent clip and conditions should improve from north to south fairly quickly this morning. Models are indicating clearing skies by early afternoon. High pressure will build in quickly from the west. Along with high pressure, a much drier and cooler airmass will also build into the CWA. MinT values tonight will mostly be in the 20s and 30s...with some lower 40s in the far SE. These temps are fairly close to normal for this time of year. MaxT values for Friday will be near or slightly below normal. NListemaa && .LONG TERM... (Friday night through Wednesday) Issued at 332 AM EST Thu Feb 13 2025 Surface high pressure will be exiting off the eastern seaboard with another CAD wedge developing in northeast GA along the lee side of the Appalachians Friday night into early Saturday. Meanwhile, a mid- level trough will dig across the western CONUS and track across the Southern Plains Saturday into Sunday. At the surface, a low pressure system and attendant cold front forming in the ArkLaTx tracking eastward will bring a final round of rain and a conditional severe threat for our area Saturday Night into Sunday. Latest model runs have indicated a slightly slower progression of this system. Nontheless, rain chances will start to increase on Saturday as a warm front lifts northward and becoming more widespread overnight into Sunday along and ahead of the cold front. The surface low and upper level support lifts quickly to the NNE early Sunday while the cold front moves through and rain chances gradually coming to an end. Surface high pressure will once again moves back into the region with quasi-zonal flow aloft. Thus we welcome another period of dry weather and seasonal temperatures on Monday lasting through Tuesday. Around mid to late weekend ensembles depict a southern stream system tracking across the Southern states bringing yet another round of unsettled weather. Stay tuned... Weekend Severe Potential: Similar to the Wednesday/Thursday, the more favorable timeframe for thunderstorms, potentially severe thunderstorms will be Saturday Night into early Sunday. As we know, nighttime severe weather can be especially hazardous, so remain weather aware. As of this update, SPC has painted a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) for North and west-central GA (including the ATL Metro). Uncertainties in the severe potential still remain. What we know: The convective mode would likely be linear owing to the high shear/low CAPE environment. Thus, isolated damaging winds and/or embedded spin up tornadoes could form within any kinks or breaks in the line. The area highlighted by the severe risk area (North and west-central GA including the ATL metro) will be in relatively close proximity to the surface low and better forcing. The CAD wedge may limit severe potential for areas east of the ATL metro. What we don't know: How much instability will be able to materialize at the surface? Does the lingering CAD wedge inhibit convective development? Weekend Rain and flooding chances: Rivers are likely to still be elevated with soils across the North well saturated and primed prior to this next round of rainfall this weekend. Minimal changes to the forecast rainfall totals Saturday through Sunday with values north of I-20/I-85 corridor ranging from 1 to 1.75 inches with isolated up to 2 inches at the higher elevations. NBM probabilities of greater than 1 inch of rainfall for this same region by Monday morning range from 70% to 90% -- the higher end probabilities in far north GA and at the highest elevations. Greater than 2 inches for North GA only still range from 45 to 50%. So while less 'heavy' rainfall with this system overall it may still be significant given antecedent soil conditions particularly up in North GA. WPC has painted a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 4) for areas north of I-20/I-85 for heavy rainfall on Saturday. Long Term Temperature Overview: Seasonal temperatures are forecast for Friday with highs in the mid 50s to 60s and lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s. Saturday and Sunday look to be the warmest days in the period at least for parts of Central GA with highs ranging in the mid 50s to the north and mid/upper 70s across the south. We cool off at the start of the work week with morning lows on Monday in the 20s and 30s with forecast highs in the 40s and 50s and rebounding back into the 50s and 60s by Tuesday. 07 && .AVIATION...
