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
A mid-level ridge will start the extended period across the Plains on D4/Thursday. This ridge will shift east through the extended period. A surface low will develop in the lee of the Rockies and move slowly north and east, reaching eastern Ontario by D7/Sunday. This surface low and its associated cold front will likely be the only potential for any severe weather during the extended period. However, at this time it appears the stronger shear will be well displaced from the greater instability. Therefore, severe weather probabilities are not necessary at this time.
Outside of this frontal zone during the Day 4 to Day 7 period, thunderstorms are likely. However, weak lapse rates and very weak shear is anticipated, with minimal storm organization.
