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 Jun 9, 9:22 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PEACHTREE CITY GA 1022 PM EDT MON JUN 9 2014 .UPDATE... ALTHOUGH THE GENERAL TREND SHOULD BE SLOW WEAKENING WITH THE LINE OF CONVECTION APPROACHING NORTHWEST GEORGIA...THERE IS ENOUGH POTENTIAL FOR A FEW DAMAGING WIND EVENTS TO MERIT A WATCH. I HAVE UPPED POPS ONCE AGAIN AS THE MOMENTUM OF THE SYSTEM SHOULD OVERCOME THE WEAK INHIBITIONS OVER AT LEAST THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. 20 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 840 PM EDT MON JUN 9 2014/ UPDATE... I HAVE MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST GRIDS FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD INTO TOMORROW...MAINLY TO FIT CURRENT AND EXPECTED RADAR TRENDS. UPPED POPS A BIT IN EAST CENTRAL ZONES TO ACCOUNT FOR THE PROXIMITY OF ONGOING CONVECTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA WHICH HAS BEEN TRYING TO BACK-BUILD INTO OUR FAR EASTERN COUNTIES. THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK SHORT WAVE AND SURFACE BOUNDARY WHICH IS MOVING AWAY SO I HAVE KEPT POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY FOR NOW. OTHER NOTICEABLE CHANGE WAS TO POPS ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHERN ZONES AROUND AND AFTER MIDNIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LINE OF CONVECTION ENTERING WESTERN ALABAMA AT THIS TIME. IF THIS LINE HOLDS TOGETHER WE WOULD SEE ITS EFFECTS IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA AS EARLY AS MIDNIGHT... SPREADING EAST AND NORTHEAST THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OF HOW WELL THIS WILL HOLD TOGETHER AS IT MOVES OUT AHEAD OF THE BETTER UPPER SUPPORT AND UP AND OVER THE WEAK SHORT WAVE RIDGING ACROSS GEORGIA...I HAVE KEPT THESE POPS BELOW LIKELY AS WELL FOR NOW. ATMOSPHERE SHOULD HAVE MODERATE INSTABILITY ON TAP...BUT 00Z KFFC SOUNDING SHOWS A BIT OF A LOW-LEVEL CAPPING INVERSION AROUND 750-700MB UNDER THE WEAK RIDGING. 20 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 730 PM EDT MON JUN 9 2014/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH AT LEAST THE MAIN SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. UPPER CLOSED LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EASTWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND ALLOW FOR INCREASED GULF MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA. WHILE THE ENVIRONMENT IS CHARACTERIZED BY WEAK SHEAR...THERE IS DECENT MLCAPES NEAR 2000-2500 J/KG ACROSS CENTRAL GA AND IMPRESSIVE DCAPE VALUES OF 1000-1400 J/KG. THEREFORE ANY DEVELOPMENT PERHAPS FOCUSED FROM A REMNANT MORNING MCV OUTFLOW WILL HAVE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND HAIL. SOME STRONG DEVELOPMENT AND ISOLATED SEVERE ARE POSSIBLE. THERE IS VARIATION AMONG HI-RES SOLUTIONS WITH EVOLUTION OF CONVECTION THROUGH TONIGHT AND THE HRRR HAS BEEN SUGGESTING A LINE OF STORMS PUSHING INTO NW GA BY 06Z...THOUGH FEEL THIS IS A BIT OVERDONE AND MAY JUST BE A SUBTLE DISTURBANCE TRACKING NEWD. HAVE ONLY TRENDED CHANCE POPS FOR NOW WITH HIGHEST IN THE NW AND SLIGHT FARTHER SOUTHEAST BUT WILL HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR AFTERNOON/EVENING TRENDS AS THIS COULD BE INCREASED. AS FLOODING CONCERNS ARE MAINLY WEST OF THE STATE...WE CANNOT LET OUR GUARD DOWN ON HIGHER QPF VALUES POTENTIALLY IMPACTING THE NW PORTION OF THE AREA...JUST TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AT THIS POINT TO INCREASE THE THREAT AS WE ARE ON EDGE OF BEST MOISTURE AND HIGHER PWATS EAST OF THE TROUGH. HPC GUIDANCE HAS 48-HR TOTALS UPWARDS OF 2-2.5 INCHES IN THE FAR NW...BUT THIS SEEMS TOO BULLISH AND WITHOUT MUCH CONSISTENCY SO WENT WITH GENERAL BLEND THAT HAS LOWER AMOUNT OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS NW FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT WITH LOWER POPS SOUTHEAST AS SWATH OF DEEPER GULF MOISTURE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. SPC HAS NW GA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR TUESDAY...BUT FEEL THAT WILL BE FIGHTING THE BALANCE BETWEEN LINGERING CLOUD COVER/DESTABILIZATION POTENTIAL WITH MARGINAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN PLACE. DECENT PROGGED MLCAPE VALUES AGAIN NEAR 2000 J/KG FARTHER SOUTHEAST SO THREAT MAY END UP BEING SIMILAR TO THIS AFTERNOON AND OUTSIDE OF SLIGHT RISK AREA. BAKER LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL DOMINATE THE FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODELS STILL INDICATING A STRONG SHORTWAVE TO IMPACT THE CWFA ON WEDNESDAY. THE TIMING IS STILL IN QUESTION...BUT RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN DECENT. IF THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM COMES THROUGH DURING THE EARLY MORNING...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER LATER IN THE DAY MAY BE LIMITED DUE TO THICK CLOUD COVER. HOWEVER...IF THE SHORTWAVE COMES THROUGH DURING PRIME HEATING...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE MUCH HIGHER. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS. MODELS ARE STILL PROGGING A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WITH AN OPEN LOW TO MOVE THROUGH THE CWFA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THIS FEATURE COULD ALSO SERVE TO FOCUS CONVECTION...ALONG WITH A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY MOVING THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME. IN PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS...THE FLOW FOR THE WEEKEND HAS TURNED ZONAL. HOWEVER...BOTH THE GFS AND NEW ECMWF INDICATE THAT A 500MB TROUGH WILL REMAIN SITUATED ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THIS WOULD MEAN THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED UNTIL THE FEATURE MOVES OFFSHORE. NLISTEMAA && AVIATION... 00Z UPDATE... VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREDOMINATE THROUGH 06-08Z. MVFR CEILINGS WILL SPREAD NORTH AND EAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA BETWEEN 08Z AND 15Z...WITH LOCAL IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. ALL AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE VFR BY 18Z OUTSIDE OF SCATTERED CONVECTION. TONIGHT...ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION IS LIKELY THROUGH 06Z. SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MAY APPROACH WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 06Z...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SHOULD INCREASE TO SCATTERED AFTER 18Z. WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTHWEST TO WEST...GENERALLY LESS THAN 6KTS THROUGH 14Z INCREASING TO 7-10KTS..WITH GUSTS 14-18KT...BY 18Z. //ATL CONFIDENCE...00Z UPDATE...
