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 mid-level trough is forecast to move across the southern Plains on
   Friday/Day 4, as flow ahead of the system remains southwesterly over
   much of the Southeast. At the surface, a front is forecast to move
   into the central Gulf Coast region, with a moist airmass located
   ahead of the front mostly offshore. Thunderstorm activity will be
   possible from Friday into Saturday along and ahead of the front at
   the northern edge of this moist airmass in the coastal sections from
   Louisiana to Florida. From Sunday/Day 6 to Tuesday/Day 8,
   large-scale mid-level troughing is forecast to persist over the
   central U.S. In response, high pressure is forecast to remain
   dominant over much of the continental U.S. late in the Day 4 to 8
   period. Due to this cold and dry airmass, thunderstorms will be
   unlikely.
