Day 4-8 Convective Outlook Graphics Issued on Nov 8, 2009
D4Wed, Nov 11, 2009 - Thu, Nov 12, 2009 D7Sat, Nov 14, 2009 - Sun, Nov 15, 2009
D5Thu, Nov 12, 2009 - Fri, Nov 13, 2009 D8Sun, Nov 15, 2009 - Mon, Nov 16, 2009
D6Fri, Nov 13, 2009 - Sat, Nov 14, 2009 (All days are valid from 12 UTC - 12 UTC)

Note: A severe weather area depicted in the Day 4-8 period indicates a 30% or higher probability for severe thunderstorms within 25 miles of any point.

PREDICTABILITY TOO LOW is used to indicate severe storms may be possible based on some model scenarios. However, the location or occurrence of severe storms are in doubt due to: 1) large differences in the deterministic model solutions, 2) large spread in the ensemble guidance, and/or 3) minimal run-to-run continuity.
POTENTIAL TOO LOW means the threat for a regional area of organized severe storms appears highly unlikely during the entire period (e.g. less than a 30% probability for a regional severe storm area across the CONUS through the entire Day 4-8 period).

   ...DISCUSSION...
   
   TROPICAL STORM IDA IS FORECAST BY NHC TO HAVE BECOME EXTRA-TROPICAL
   BY DAY 4 (WEDNESDAY) AND IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER THE NERN GULF NEAR
   THE FL PANHANDLE. DEPENDING ON THE EXACT LOCATION AND MOVEMENT OF
   THIS FEATURE...PORTIONS OF THE FL PANHANDLE COULD STILL FACE SOME
   THREAT OF ISOLATED TORNADOES. HOWEVER...UNCERTAINTY IS STILL TOO
   HIGH AT THIS TIME TO INTRODUCE A THREAT AREA.
   
   BEYOND WEDNESDAY A PROGRESSIVE UPPER FLOW REGIME WILL PREVAIL.
   SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN LOW UNTIL POSSIBLY DAY 7 OR 8 WHEN
   MODELS SUGGEST MOISTURE WILL BEGIN RETURNING NWD THROUGH THE SRN
   PLAINS AND LOWER MS VALLEY AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH. DIFFERENCES
   EXIST AMONG MODELS IN STRENGTH AND TIMING OF THIS FEATURE WITH THE
   ECMWF BEING DEEPER AND STRONGER INDICATING A GREATER SEVERE THREAT.
   PREDICTABILITY WITH THIS PATTERN REMAINS TOO LOW TO INTRODUCE ANY
   RISK AREA AT THIS TIME.
