Each feed is judged on its own clock. The masthead’s reading is the site’s publishing health, which is a different thing: a publishing delay does not make a freshly read warning stale, and a fresh check does not make an old outlook newly issued.

Potential too low: SPC expects too little severe weather to outline a 15% area. Neither means no hazardous weather.

...DISCUSSION...
During the Day 4 to 8 period, a cyclonic mid-level flow pattern will
be in place over the eastern U.S, with a series of shortwave troughs
moving through the large-scale trough. Ahead of this feature,
thunderstorm development will be possible in the southern Great
Lakes and Ohio Valley on Wednesday, and in parts of the central
Appalachians on Thursday. Further west, an upper-level ridge will
move slowly eastward across the western and central U.S. At the
surface, high pressure is forecast to settle into the Gulf Coast
states from Friday to Sunday, limiting thunderstorm potential across
the majority of the nation.

Forecast details

SPC’s Days 4–8 outlook outlines where it sees at least a 15% or a 30% chance of severe thunderstorms within 25 miles of a point on each day. It has no categories and no hazard of its own. “Potential too low” means SPC expects too little severe weather to outline 15%; “Predictability too low” means the forecasts differ too much to place an area, and severe storms are not ruled out. A day further out is less certain than Days 1–3. SPC’s Days 4–8 page.
