Roth/Asherman Day 2 Valid 12Z Mon Dec 01 2025 - 12Z Tue Dec 02 2025 ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF THE GULF COAST AND DEEP SOUTH... 2030Z Update... The 12Z multi-model consensus overall shows little change to continuity with respect to QPF and the broader synoptic scale mass field pattern. Thus, the Marginal Risk area remains in place across portions of the Gulf Coast and through the Deep South. Orrison Previous discussion... A fast-moving positively tilted shortwave trough will move east in parallel with a strong cold front that will sweep across the South, drawing abundant Gulf moisture for December north and east along the frontal interface. The enhanced lift associated with both the shortwave trough and attendant jet streak will favor cyclogenesis, especially Monday night as the low forms across far southern Georgia and coastal South Carolina. While the cold front will push the Gulf moisture with embedded thunderstorms along to the east, by the time the low forms along the front, it will have generally stalled out, with little southward progress. This should act to keep the pattern quite progressive, even if areas will still see heavy rain from thunderstorms. Further, the soil moisture levels across much of the South are below to well below average. This should support the soils largely soaking up the mostly stratiform (albeit with embedded convection) rain. There were few changes made to the Marginal Risk area, as the area of greatest concern for isolated instances of flash flooding are the urban centers from Houston east through New Orleans, Montgomery, and Atlanta.
