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.

   Day 4-8 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

   Valid 191200Z - 241200Z

   ...DISCUSSION...
   A cold front will move offshore the Atlantic and Gulf coasts on Day
   4/Sun. In the wake of the front, strong surface high pressure will
   envelop most of the CONUS for much of the forecast period. This
   Arctic airmass will bring below normal temperatures for a large part
   of the country, resulting in dry/stable conditions and little
   potential for thunderstorms.
