Abstract: We study parabolic chord arc domains, introduced by Hofmann, Lewis and Nystr"om, and prove a free boundary regularity result below the continuous threshold. More precisely, we show that a Reifenberg flat, parabolic chord arc domain whose Poisson kernel has logarithm in VMO must in fact be a vanishing chord arc domain (i.e. satisfies a vanishing Carleson measure condition). This generalizes, to the parabolic setting, a result of Kenig and Toro and answers in the affirmative a question left open in the aforementioned paper of Hofmann et al. A key step in this proof is a classification of "flat" blowups for the parabolic problem.
