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...
   An upper trough over the eastern states should move eastward and
   over the western Atlantic on Day 4/Monday, with minimal severe
   potential evident across the CONUS due to a lack of low-level
   moisture and instability. Medium-range guidance is in reasonably
   good agreement that another upper trough should amplify as it ejects
   from the western states across the Plains around the middle of next
   week. Modest low-level moisture return appears possible by Day
   6/Wednesday across parts of the southern Plains ahead of a cold
   front. However, forecast instability appears rather weak ahead of
   the front. And, with the better forcing associated with the upper
   trough probably remaining farther north over the central/northern
   Plains, organized severe potential on Wednesday still appears quite
   low. This upper trough should continue to develop eastward across
   the central/eastern states late next week, but limited low-level
   moisture return across these regions suggest the overall potential
   for severe storms will likely remain low across the CONUS through
   Day 8/Friday.
