...DISCUSSION...
Medium-range models exhibit decent model-to-model agreement with
location/progression of major features through Day 4/Sunday, after
which increasingly divergent solutions evolve.  Generally speaking,
the two models are in much better agreement Days 4-5 with evolution
of the northern-stream portion of the split-flow regime, while their
solutions with respect to evolution of the southern-stream
low/trough crossing the southwest and south-central states differ
more substantially.  As such, while the southeast U.S. could be a
focus for an increase in severe potential during middle and/or
latter stages of the period as the southern-stream low progresses
eastward, confidence in any particular scenario remains quite low
from Day 5/Monday onward.

Day 4, when models are still in decent agreement, little severe risk
is evident at this time, though showers and a few thunderstorms will
be possible along the east-northeast to west-southwest baroclinic
zone slowly shifting southward/southeastward across the Atlantic and
Gulf Coast states.  Marginal instability along eastern portions of
this front, and capping farther west, should largely limit severe
risk.
