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 weak belt of high-level westerlies may persist from the
subtropical eastern Pacific through the Gulf of Mexico and Florida
Peninsula vicinity through this period. However, models suggest
that a belt of mid/upper westerlies emanating from the mid-latitude
Pacific will remain much more prominent. Within this regime, it
appears that broad mid-level ridging will persist across the
northern Pacific coast into much of the northern Great Plains, while
downstream troughing only gradually loses amplitude and broadens
across the eastern U.S. into western Atlantic.
Beneath resultant confluent mid/upper flow between the two regimes,
cold surface high pressure appears likely to maintain relatively dry
and stable conditions across much of the Gulf Coast states/Southeast
and Gulf of Mexico into the middle to latter portion of next week.
Thereafter, models indicate that there may be substantive
amplification of troughing within the mid-latitude westerlies across
the Mississippi Valley vicinity by late next week. While this
probably will be accompanied by the development of southerly or
southwesterly return flow off the Gulf of Mexico, low-level
moistening supportive of appreciable severe thunderstorm potential
seems unlikely through at least next Friday (December 3rd).
