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 highly amplified upper trough should move quickly eastward from
   the MS Valley across the eastern CONUS on Day 4/Thursday. Latest
   medium-range guidance continues to indicate that low-level moisture
   return ahead of a related surface cold front will remain
   insufficient to support even weak instability across the warm
   sector. Accordingly, the overall severe threat on Thursday appears
   low across the CONUS. This upper trough is forecast to continue
   eastward across the remainder of the East Coast and into the western
   Atlantic on Day 5/Friday. The surface cold front associated with
   this upper trough should move southward across the FL Peninsula,
   with little severe potential evident. In the wake of this upper
   trough, gradual amplification of the mid-level westerlies may occur
   by the upcoming weekend across parts of the western/central CONUS.
   But, it appears unlikely that robust low-level moisture will advance
   inland over the southern Plains or Southeast, suggesting continued
   low severe potential across the CONUS through early next week.
