Actually, it can also re-enter outside of the yellow or blue lines. They given an error margin of 24 hours on the predicted reentry time, and the drawn tracks are only 6 hours long.

Looks like it just updated; margin of error was reduced to 22 hours and the drawn tracks now show the full range.

I imagine that as the rocket gets closer to reentering the page will continue to be updated with more precise estimates.
