Note: A severe weather area depicted in the Day 4-8 period indicates 15%, 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 unlikely (i.e., less than 15%) for the forecast day.

   ...DISCUSSION...
   Particularly in the northern mid-latitudes, models suggest that
   mid/upper flow may remain more progressive across the Pacific into
   western North America than east of the Mississippi Valley into the
   Atlantic during this period.  Within the latter regime, it appears
   that a couple of significant quasi-stationary to slow moving
   mid-level lows will be maintained, including only a gradual
   redevelopment of the trailing low east-northeast of the Great Lakes
   through the coming work week.

   Farther west, a weakening mid-level low over the southern Great
   Basin at the outset of the period is forecast to continuing
   weakening farther inland.  However, models suggest that a lingering
   belt of seasonably strong mid-level flow may propagate around the
   crest of mean mid-level ridging across and east of the southern
   Rockies, while flow strengthens similarly on the southern periphery
   of mean mid-level troughing across the Southeast.  Associated
   strengthening of deep-layer shear along a quasi-stationary frontal
   zone may become conducive to the evolution of organized 
   thunderstorm clusters on a daily basis.  However, the location and
   extent of any associated severe weather hazards likely will remain
   largely governed by sub-synoptic/mesoscale developments with poor
   predictability in the extended time frame.
