Each feed is judged on its own clock. The masthead’s reading is the site’s publishing health, which is a different thing: a publishing delay does not make a freshly read warning stale, and a fresh check does not make an old outlook newly issued.

Saturday briefing for Alabama

Highest anywhere in Alabama: no risk area

This is the outlook, a forecast. Warnings in force here are listed above it and outrank it.

The highest category anywhere in the state, from its outline; not every point in it.

When: Outlook valid 14 Nov 12:00Z to 15 Nov 12:00Z: the period it covers, not when storms arrive. This period has not begun.
Prepare: No additional flood preparation is indicated by this outlook.
Rain and rivers: Expected rain: below WPC’s lowest contour (0.01 in) in Alabama, in WPC’s forecast for the 24 hours 14 Nov 12:00Z to 15 Nov 12:00Z. An amount for the area its contour covers, not a total for any one street.
Rain that fell: 0.01 to 0.1 in at its highest in Alabama, in the 24 hours to 11:00Z, by MRMS’s radar estimate over a grid about 5 km across: a measurement of the past, not corrected to rain gauges.
Rivers: no river gauge in Alabama is in flood or forecast to flood, by NWS’s lists read 12:05Z. Gauges are on larger rivers, not every creek: this is not a sign that nothing can flood.
Three sources, each its own window. None is a chance of flash flooding, which is WPC’s outlook above; a flash flood is a warning’s. Gauges in the Live tracker

WPC Excessive Rainfall Discussion, Day 2, issued 08:15Z · Data: NOAA/WPC

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS NORTHWEST
WASHINGTON STATE IN THE AREA OF THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA...

00Z guidance continues to show the arrival of another round of
moderate to heavy rainfall across portions of northwest Washington
and the Olympic peninsla on Saturday. The two-day rainfall total ay
be enough to result in isolated flash- and areal-flooding. Rainfall
forecasts of an additional 1 inch to 3 inches, with locally
higher amounts, are expected through Saturday night or early Sunday
morning. Much of the rainfall is expected to occur in a 12-hr
window before the passage of a cold front late in the forecast
period.  This could send some of the river banks overflowing and
cause some local flood concerns, some of which could be flashy.
Still felt there was no fundamental changes needed with the latest
forecast.

Forecast details

The chance that rainfall exceeds flash flood guidance within 40 km (25 miles) of a point during the valid period, as WPC defines its categories. Marginal is at least 5%, Slight 15%, Moderate 40% and High 70%. WPC’s categories are separate from SPC’s severe-storm categories, and an outlook category is not a warning: a Flash Flood Warning means flooding is happening or imminent. WPC’s definitions.
