You are looking at an outlook that is part of the medium range forecast (the outlook for days 4-8). The most important thing to note is that lack of a risk does not mean zero risk. Generally speaking, confidence has to be pretty high for the Storm Prediction Center to have an outlook area this far into the future.
If you bookmark this page, it will continue to update with each new outlook that is issued.

DISCUSSION
Day 4/Thursday Central Plains and Lower/Middle MO Valley
Guidance remains in relatively good agreement that a shortwave trough, and strong jet in its base, will overspread the north-central Great Plains toward the Upper Midwest Thursday. Ahead of this mid/upper-level trough, very favorable ingredients, including ample instability and rather strong deep-layer shear for the season, should set up across Missouri, southern Iowa, and southeast Nebraska/northeast Kansas. The potential impacts of convection lingering from Wednesday night remain a key uncertainty regionally regarding the north-northeast extent of the more appreciable severe risk, but the aforementioned areas seemingly have the highest severe potential.
Day 5/Friday Midwest
While modest predictability precludes a 15+ percent severe risk at this juncture, it seems probable that severe potential will be focused within a moist and unstable air mass near/ahead of an east/southeastward-moving cold front. This may be most focused across the Ohio Valley and other parts of the Midwest/Lake Erie vicinity, with damaging winds expected to be the most common severe hazard.
Days 6-8 Saturday-Monday
Predictability diminishes into this time frame, although corridors of at least some severe storms can be expected daily, generally spanning the northern/central Plains to the Ohio Valley, and probably parts of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast States on Day 6/Saturday.
