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 progressive upper-level pattern is expected during the Day 4-8
period as a series of troughs track across the CONUS east of the
Rockies. The surface pattern will be dominated mainly by high
pressure, with any stronger cyclogenesis being confined to the
northern Plains to Great Lakes vicinity. As a result, continental
trajectories and prior cold frontal intrusions well south into the
Gulf of Mexico will leave a dry and stable airmass in place. As a
result, thunderstorm potential will be low and severe convection is
not expected.
