Note on Medium Range Outlooks

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.

Some moisture return will be possible with this system in the central Gulf Coast states on Friday/Day 7, where isolated thunderstorms will be possible. A few storms may again develop on Saturday/Day 8 as the systems affects the Florida Peninsula. No severe threat is expected in the Day 4 to 8 period.
