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...
   ...Thursday/Day 4 and Friday/Day 5...
   On Thursday and Friday, the medium-range models move an upper-level
   trough from the High Plains east-northeastward into the Northeast. A
   cold front is forecast to move to the southern Eastern Seaboard and
   central Gulf Coast. Further west, moisture return may take place in
   the parts of the southern Plains on Friday as a surface low deepens
   in the central High Plains. Thunderstorms will be possible during
   the late afternoon near the moist axis across west Texas and western
   Oklahoma. A shortwave trough approaching the southern Plains Friday
   evening may support continued thunderstorm development in the
   overnight period. Although instability is forecast to be weak Friday
   and Friday night, an isolated severe threat will be possible. 

   ...Saturday/Day 6 to Monday/Day 8...
   On Saturday, the models move the shortwave trough into the Ozarks.
   Ahead of the trough, low-level moisture is forecast to advect
   northward into the lower and mid Mississippi Valley. This combined
   with strong deep-layer shear, may support an isolated severe threat
   from eastern Oklahoma eastward into Arkansas Saturday afternoon and
   evening.

   On Sunday and Monday, the shortwave trough is forecast to move
   quickly eastward into the western Atlantic as a large upper-level
   trough moves into the central states. Although there is a large
   amount of uncertainty, thunderstorms will be possible ahead of the
   trough in parts of the Southeast on Sunday, and along the Eastern
   Seaboard on Monday. Instability is forecast to be weak ahead of the
   trough both days, suggesting that any severe threat will be
   marginal.
