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.
When no specific risk areas are shown, you might see one of these phrases:

DISCUSSION
The cold front which may result in severe weather on Day 3/Tuesday will move into the Atlantic and near the Gulf Coast across Florida. A reinforcing mid-level trough will maintain northerly flow across the eastern CONUS as an area of high pressure builds into the region. A drier, more continental airmass across the eastern CONUS will keep severe weather chances minimal.
Upper 60s to low 70s dewpoints will remain across the Plains, beneath a strong upper-level ridge. By the time the ridge starts to break down on Day 6/Friday some severe weather is possible as a mid-level trough moves into the northern Plains. However, the ECMWF shows less than 20 knots of flow across the Plains. Therefore, shear will likely be limited. Thunderstorms will be likely along the cold front as it traverses the central and eastern CONUS next weekend. However, the lack of stronger mid-level flow casts doubt on storm organization. Therefore, no severe weather probabilities have been added at this time.
