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...
Medium-range model output indicates a mid-level trough will move
across the lower Great Lakes/New England on Sunday (day 4). It
seems plausible a low-level moist plume will extend northward into
the Northeast ahead of the disturbance. However, considerable
uncertainty remains regarding the details of
destabilization---precluding a severe highlight.
Models show a progressive upper-air pattern with stronger mid-level
flow relegated to the northern tier of states through the early part
of the work week. Towards the end of the extended period,
increasing model variability renders low confidence on the evolution
of a potential mid-level trough over the north-central U.S.
