The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
A warm front remained stalled across the state on the 19th, with the cool wedge of high pressure still nosing into northeast Georgia. The warm front lifted north during the afternoon, and with a warm and unstable airmass to the south, once again several showers and thunderstorms developed. Isolated flash flooding was reported in Upson County as a result.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Aug 19, 7:00 PM EST, 2 hours earlier.

WARM...MOIST AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE STATE...WITH A WET SHORT TERM PERIOD EXPECTED. WARM FRONT REMAINING ACROSS THE STATE TODAY WILL MOVE NORTHWARD SOMEWHAT THROUGH TUESDAY AS AN ACTIVE UPPER TROUGH REMAINS TO THE WEST TODAY. PRECIP ACTIVITY THROUGH THE EVENING WILL BE FOCUSED ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND HAVE KEPT POPS HIGHER /GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY/ ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. EXPECT MORE ISOLATED CONVECTION NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...AND HAVE KEPT CHANCE POPS SLIGHTLY LOWER. AMPLE CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING HAS SINCE SCATTERED OUT...ALLOWING INSTABILITY TO RISE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WILL BE TIED CLOSELY TO LEVEL OF DIURNAL HEATING ALLOWED DUE TO CLOUD COVER. WITH DEW POINTS INTO THE 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...AND PW VALUES NEAR 2.0 INCHES OR HIGHER...EXPECT PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN IN THE CONVECTION. AFTER A SLIGHT DECREASE IN POPS OVERNIGHT...CONTINUE WITH GOOD CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY AS OVERALL DIRTY PATTERN PERSISTS.

WITH FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES IN THAT AREA IN THE 2-2.5 INCHES IN 1 HOUR RANGE...WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING OR EXTENDING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME. THAT BEING SAID...FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL IS TIED TO PRECIPITATION TOTALS OBSERVED TODAY...AND WILL ALLOW EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SHIFT TO DETERMINE WHETHER A NEW WATCH IS NECESSARY. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS CAN BE EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY WITH TRAINING STORMS. 31 .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... BUMPED POPS UP SOME INTO THURSDAY WITH ALL THE MOISTURE AND INCREASED AFTERNOON INSTABILITY. OTHERWISE NO MAJOR CHANGES. BDL PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... THE WET PATTERN CONTINUES INTO THE EXTENDED. THE SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS NOW OVER CENTRAL GA AND SHOULD CONTINUE MOVING SLOWLY NORTHWARD THROUGH TUE/WED. THIS FRONT WILL WEAKEN SOME BUT IT WILL STILL ACT AS A GUIDE FOR GULF MOISTURE TO MOVE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THE WEDGE LOOKS TO FINALLY BREAK DOWN WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR A MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTIVE WEATHER PATTERN BEGINNING TUE AND CONTINUING THROUGH DAY 7. BEST TIMING FOR THE HEAVIEST RAIN STILL APPEARS TO BE IN THE SHORT TERM BUT DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE REGION THROUGH WED/THU WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS IN THE 1.5 TO 2.0 INCH RANGE THROUGH THU. PRECIPITABLE WATERS GET BELOW 1.3 INCHES BY FRIDAY MORNING AS THE DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES NORTH AND EAST OF THE STATE.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED... LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED WHICH MAY CAUSE SOME FLASH FLOODING. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING AND WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. ISOLATED STRONG STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG AND SOUTH OF A CARROLLTON TO MACON LINE BUT NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE STORMS THROUGH TONIGHT. DISCUSSION... A WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS WEAKENING ACROSS NORTH GEORGIA THIS MORNING WITH A WARM FRONT MOVING NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING NORTH THROUGH TONIGHT. TROPICAL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA. THE MAIN CONCERN REMAINS FLOODING ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...SEE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH /FFAFFC/ FOR MORE DETAILS...HOWEVER MODERATE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ACROSS PORTIONS OF WEST AND CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL PROVIDE A CHANCE FOR ISOLATED STRONG STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED... HEAVY RAIN WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING IS POSSIBLE. OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS WITH THE STRONGER STORMS ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA CLOSE TO THE NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY DURING THE AFTERNOON PERIODS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. DISCUSSION... A STATIONARY FRONT AND DEVELOPING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BECOME THE FOCUS FOR A WET PERIOD AS DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE MOVES OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR POTENTIAL FLOODING THROUGH THURSDAY. A MORE DIURNALLY DRIVEN THUNDERSTORM PATTERN MAY RETURN BY THE END OF THE WEEK. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT REQUESTED BUT SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER OR FLOODING THROUGH THE WEB BY GOING TO WEATHER.GOV/ATLANTA.
