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 mid-level flow pattern across the US is forecast to become more stagnant into the extended-range forecast period as the western US upper low deepens and shortwave ridging over the Plains moves slowly eastward. Broad troughing over the East should gradually consolidate, slowing eastward progress of the upper ridge. As the western trough slowly approaches the Rockies, a lee trough should sharpen each afternoon with a narrow zone of moisture return along and east into parts of the High Plains. Sufficient destabilization is expected to support isolated thunderstorms, and perhaps some severe risk, near the lee trough as smaller embedded perturbations eject eastward periodically. However, with only slow movement of the upper ridge expected, forcing for ascent should remain modest until early next weekend. Somewhat greater severe potential may develop D6/Friday or D7/Saturday as the primary upper trough begins to emerge over the Plains. However, given the uncertainties associated with the smaller scale features, and the timing of the main trough, limited confidence exists regarding severe potential in the extended forecast.
