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 is forecast by medium-range guidance to continue
   advancing eastward across the central/eastern CONUS from Day
   4/Wednesday through Day 6/Friday. Even with modest low-level
   moisture return ahead of an attendant cold front, it appears very
   unlikely that sufficient instability will develop across the warm
   sector to support an organized severe risk. In the wake of this
   upper trough, there are some indications in guidance that gradual
   amplification of the mid-level westerlies may occur over parts of
   the western/central CONUS by next weekend. If a pronounced
   upper-level trough can eventually develop over the Plains in tandem
   with increasing low-level moisture across the southern Plains and
   lower MS Valley, then some severe threat may materialize by late
   next weekend across these areas. Regardless, confidence in the
   evolution of the synoptic-scale pattern across the CONUS remains low
   at this extended time frame, suggesting overall low predictability.
