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.

   Day 4-8 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0332 AM CDT Mon Jul 13 2020

   Valid 161200Z - 211200Z

   ...DISCUSSION...
   A strong upper anticyclone will persist over the south-central U.S.
   during the Day 4-8 period. Meanwhile, a progressive northern stream
   will bring a series of shortwave troughs eastward across portions of
   the northern Plains and the Northeast, though guidance has trended
   less-amplified and further north with these systems. As a result,
   any organized convection will likely remain across the northern tier
   of the U.S., and be driven by smaller-scale processes not well
   resolved at longer time-scales. While some severe threat appears
   possible from the northern Plains eastward into the Great Lakes and
   Northeast during the period, confidence is low in the timing and
   coverage of these events, precluding severe probabilities at this
   time.
