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...
A progressive upper level pattern is forecast during the Day 4-8
period. An upper level trough will develop eastward from the MS
Valley to the western Atlantic through Day 5/Mon. A brief period of
upper level ridging will spread across the Plains and the eastern
U.S. on Day 6/Tue before another upper shortwave trough shifts east
from the northern Rockies into the Plains and Upper Midwest on Day
7/Wed and the eastern third of the CONUS by Day 8/Thu. Surface high
pressure will persist over the Plains into the central/southern U.S.
for much of the period. This will keep Gulf moisture well offshore
and thunderstorm potential will be low. As the upper trough ejects
east into the Plains and Upper Midwest late in the period, some
modest moisture return is forecast across the southern Plains in
response to a developing lee trough. While this could bring
increasing chances for thunderstorms to parts of the southern Plains
vicinity, severe potential still appears low/too uncertain at this
time.
