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...
   The potential for organized severe thunderstorms will focus during
   the early part of the extended period.  Medium-range models show a
   mid-level trough moving across the MS Valley Saturday and eastward
   into the central/southern Appalachians on Sunday.  A warm sector
   will likely encompass parts of the northeast Gulf Coast states on
   Saturday with an accompanying severe risk.  Uncertainty remains how
   far north and northeast appreciable instability can develop
   Saturday.  By Sunday, a severe threat could include parts of the
   Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic states depending on the timing/evolution of
   the mid-level trough.  The potential for severe will likely be low
   during the early half of next week despite large model variability
   by this timeframe.
