As mentioned by a few of the local offices, December isn't a typical flash flood month, but there have still been some rather notable events, particularly in El Nino years. The two biggest I can think of offhand were the ones in the first week of December 1913 and the one in the back half of December 1991. Both of those were in El Nino winters following up very wet autumns, similar to how things have played out here recently. I don't imagine we're going to see a repeat of those two infamous events (those both resulted in some top end river flooding) due to shorter event duration and a slightly drier November, but I imagine there is going to be at least a small swath of 5"+ totals coming down in 24 hours or less, and that will cause some issues for sure.
