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
Severe weather potential in the extended forecast period is very low. Broad-scale eastern US troughing will strengthen this weekend as a clipper-style trough dives out of Canada an rapidly intensifies along the Eastern Seaboard. A surface low will develop over the eastern Gulf and rapidly deepen over the western Atlantic into early next week. Western US ridging and strong surface high pressure over the central US will keep substantial inland moisture return unlikely for the foreseeable future.
