What happened
The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.
A stalled frontal boundary and anomalously moist air mass produced high rainfall amounts for several days, beginning June 19th. Multiple waves of precipitation including many training storms dropped high rainfall amounts over the metro Atlanta area and along the I-20 corridor. Rainfall amounts were generally 4-6 inches, with isolated amounts approaching 8 inches. Flash flooding resulted, especially within the Nancy Creek, North Fork Peachtree Creek and Yellow River basins.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 8:38 PM EST, 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Peachtree City GA 938 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017 .UPDATE... Shower and storm activity has diminished for much of n GA with the remaining line moving e across the AHN to e of ATL areas. Showers and some storms will linger over central GA. BDL && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 700 PM EDT Mon Jun 19 2017/ SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/... Unsettled forecast is in store for the short term with the forecast area between two weather systems. A frontal boundary should sink into north GA overnight as the upper trough deepens over the Great Lakes. Still not confident on how far into the forecast area the front will get. Models show some drying for the far northwest later tonight and have left the northwest corner with less than 20 percent pops after 06z. Otherwise there could be some convection lasting all night. The next thing is the tropical system forecast to develop in the Gulf and what path it will take. Latest models pushing it more westward toward LA. However...deep tropical moisture will most likely affect at least a portion of north and central GA. Forecast PW values are near or above two inches. Likely pops for late tonight into Tuesday look reasonable for Atlanta to Athens and south. For now...will hold off on issuing a Flash Flood Watch. Next shifts can take another look at timing and placement of qpf amounts. Have kept max and min temperatures close to MOS guidance with expected increase in clouds and convection. 41 LONG TERM /Wednesday through Monday/... The long term remains largely unchanged. Much of the forecast is dependent upon the evolution of the disturbance near the Yucatan Peninsula. Even by 12z Wednesday there is some discrepancy regarding the position of the low's center...most notably between the GFS and other guidance. With the GFS becoming somewhat of an outlier in regards to the position/track of the actual low...have trended the forecast more along the lines of the EC/CMC/SREF/NAM 12z solutions. It appears at this point that although the actual tropical/subtropical low could very well remain to our west...the cyclonic flow around this system will likely channel moisture in a northerly fashion up the eastern Gulf as anticyclonic flow associated with the Bermuda high/ridge builds west toward the Bahamas and FL and interacts with the cyclone's wind pattern. This certainly raises concern for a heavy rain/flood threat across the CWA Thursday-Friday. Right now it is unclear where this threat would occur but certainly something to begin to watch for...especially as PW values climb above 2.25 inches! By late Friday into the weekend...seems plausible that the low will become absorbed into the larger scale flow as the Bermuda ridge continues to build west. Unfortunately it appears it may head our way...in which case it may bring another heavy rainfall threat to at least north Georgia. The system should pull away /finally/ by late in the weekend into the beginning of next week. However...this will coincide with the next fropa that is also expected to bring plentiful precip with it. GFS pushes this front thru...ECMWF stalls it. Given time of year have trended with the EC for now. Kovacik AVIATION... 00Z Update... There will be a diminishing trend to the showers and storms tonight although scattered showers could linger mainly for central GA. Mostly VFR ceilings with potential for IFR-MVFR ceilings late tonight into Tuesday. Surface winds becoming light and variable or light S-W. Winds favoring SSE for Tuesday 10 kts or less. Showers and some storms expected to develop Tuesday. //ATL Confidence...00Z Update... Low to medium confidence for ceilings and timing of wind shift Tuesday morning. Medium to high confidence for weather...vsbys and winds tonight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
