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...
Medium-range guidance remains in good agreement that an upper trough
will continue to move quickly eastward over the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast states on Day 4/Friday. Substantial low-level moisture
will be confined to parts of the FL Peninsula to the south of a
front in this time frame, with little severe potential evident.
Generally westerly mid-level flow across much of the CONUS on Day
5/Saturday should undergo gradual amplification as another
large-scale upper trough potentially develops over the central CONUS
by Day 6/Sunday. Some low-level moisture may return northward over
portions of the southern Plains and lower MS Valley over the
upcoming weekend ahead of this upper trough and a related surface
cold front. However, instability is currently forecast to remain
quite weak, and the overall severe potential across these regions
still appears quite low. By early next week, the upper trough should
advance over the eastern CONUS, although confidence in its evolution
remains limited. Regardless, the potential for organized severe
storms appears low across the CONUS through early next week, owing
to only modest low-level moisture return ahead of an advancing cold
front.
