But aren’t 7 day forecasts rather inaccurate and unpredictable?

A Day 7 highlighted threat is very rare, particularly in January. That indicates, to me anyway, that they have confidence in the possibility of a significant severe weather threat, otherwise they would not even highlight it yet.

An SPC met said this about the threat yesterday:

Day 7 areas are rare (Between 0-6 each year), but Day 7 areas in January are even more rare. If my search through our archives is correct, this is only the 4th Day 7 area issued in January.

ETA: all depends on the forecaster. I'll pay attention to what RDS says

Not strong upper level low events keyed on a general area with some other synoptic conditions, why don’t you sit this one out and let the smart people post.
