583 FOUS30 KWBC 050049 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 749 PM EST Thu Dec 4 2025 Day 1 Valid 01Z Fri Dec 05 2025 - 12Z Fri Dec 05 2025 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Hurley Day 2 Valid 12Z Fri Dec 05 2025 - 12Z Sat Dec 06 2025 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Hurley Day 3 Valid 12Z Sat Dec 06 2025 - 12Z Sun Dec 07 2025 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. The low-end Marginal Risk that was in effect across parts of the Southeast (North FL and Panhandle, southern AL-GA, southern SC) has been removed. Model QPFs from the 12Z have trended lower, while also still showing latitudinal spread with the axis of max totals. All of the rainfall is post-frontal, so any available instability would be elevated, and even then there`s not much per the guidance (<500 J/Kg). Probability Match Mean (PMM) of 12Z global guidance is generally 0.75-1.00" in 24hrs, which is actually lower than the 17Z NBM. Given the latest areal-average deterministic QPF (again ~0.75-1.00 in the 24hr period from 12Z Sat to 12Z sun 4hrs), along with the fact that much of the Southeast is between a D2-D4 drought with 3 hourly FFGs between 2.5-3", probabilities of even getting close to those values are quite low -- certainly sufficiently low to remove the Marginal.
