Experimental Day 4-8 Severe Thunderstorm Outlook Issued on Nov 9, 2005Experimental Day 4-8 Severe Thunderstorm Outlook Graphics Issued on Nov 9, 2005

Note: Increased variability in model forecasts with time and the inability of the medium range models to resolve mesoscale features results in greater uncertainty forecasting severe storms in the Day 4-8 period. SPC forecasters examine various deterministic and ensemble model looking for synoptic patterns that favor at least a 25% or higher probability for severe thunderstorms, before a severe weather area is depicted.
