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...
   The medium-range model output remains characterized by large spread
   concerning short wave developments within the westerlies across the 
   northern mid-latitude Pacific through the coming work week and next
   weekend.  This has and continues to result in rather varied
   solutions concerning the eastward acceleration and evolution of one
   short wave trough forecast to be approaching the British
   Columbia/Pacific Northwest coast by mid week.  It appears probable
   that this impulse will contribute to at least some suppression of
   the prominent mid-level high initially centered over the Great
   Basin.  It may provide support for a developing surface cyclone
   across and east-northeast of the Canadian Prairies late this week
   into next weekend.  However, guidance continues to indicate that
   this will be preceded by the evolution of a fairly broad, but weak
   cyclonic mid-level circulation across the lower Mississippi
   Valley/northwestern Gulf coast vicinity.  This will likely inhibit
   or at least slow substantive low-level moisture return to the higher
   latitudes.  The impact of this on subsequent destabilization is one
   factor of perhaps a few that suggest the potential for organized
   severe storm development will remain low.
