Valid 260100Z - 261200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are unlikely tonight.

...01z Update...

Stubborn upper ridge is holding firm across the southwestern
US/southern Rockies early this evening. As a result, stronger flow
is forced across the northern tier of states along with most
meaningful short-wave troughs. Midlevel height field is being
suppressed a bit across the northern Rockies/high Plains and a few
thunderstorms have developed across eastern MT where lapse rates are
steep, but MUCAPE is very weak. This activity should become even
more isolated with loss of daytime heating.

Warm advection is expected to contribute to weak elevated convection
across portions of the Midwest tonight as profiles gradually moisten
in the 2-3km layer due to a modestly strong but veered LLJ. Forecast
soundings suggest any hail that develops with this elevated activity
should remain below severe levels.

Isolated convection that is currently noted across portions of the
central FL Peninsula should continue to weaken over the next few
hours as the boundary layer cools. Lighting threat should focus
offshore by mid evening.

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0459 PM CDT Wed Mar 25 2026

Valid 271200Z - 021200Z

...Synopsis...
An eastward translating upper-level trough will exit the eastern
U.S. by the weekend, with a broad surface high pressure settling
into the OH River Valley by Day 5 Sunday. A building ridge across
the West will continue to support near record heat across much of
the Southwestern U.S. through the end of the week as a trough
impinges upon the West Coast by early next week. At the surface, a
strong cold front should elevated fire weather concerns across
portions of the central and southern Plains on Day 3/Friday as dry,
post-frontal flow impacts this region. Dry southerly flow returns on
Day 4/Saturday across much of the southern and central Plains as
surface high pressure pushes into the eastern U.S. and lee troughing
evolves in the northern High Plains. Mid and upper-level moisture
entering the Southwest ahead of the next trough could bring
high-based showers and thunderstorms to portions of NM and AZ over
the weekend, increasing opportunities for ignitions over
unseasonably dry fuels.

...Day 3/Friday - Central and Southern Plains...
Broad post-frontal flow from the north-northeast will encompass
portions of the central and southern Plains on Day 3/Friday. The
gusty north-northeast winds accompanying a very dry air mass
centered across portions of eastern KS, southwestward into OK and
the TX Panhandle should support a fire weather threat across this
region. A northeastward expansion of the existing 40% probabilities
was warranted based on latest model guidance and receptive fuels in
place.

...Day 4/Saturday - Southern/Central Plains and Southeast...
Fire weather impacts from the dry post-frontal environment will
extend into portions of the Southeast by Day 4/Saturday. Appreciable
northeast winds amid low daytime relative humidity and dry fuels
supports continuation of the 40% critical probabilities for portions
of the Carolinas, GA, southern TN and northwestern AL. 

...Day 5/Sunday - Arizona and New Mexico...
Increasing mid and upper-level moisture from the Pacific and
emerging daytime instability should support high-based convection
across portions of the Southwest. Exceptionally warm and dry
conditions preceding and leading up to this event has aided in fuel
receptivity to spread. As such, introduced a 10% probability for
isolated dry thunderstorms for portions of eastern AZ and western
NM, where drier fuels exist. Farther north, warming temperatures and
an increasingly dry boundary layer should align with breezy west
winds across portions of southeastern WY into western NE and far
northeastern CO where minimal precipitation is expected to fall over
the next few days. Dry fuels should largely still be in place by Day
5/Sunday across much of the High Plains so introduced 40% critical
probabilities where the dry fuels coexist with breezy west winds and
dry conditions. The high-based convection and dry thunderstorm
threat could linger into early next week as the trough enters the
western U.S. but generally cooler temperatures and higher relative
humidity could reduce overall fire weather threat.

Moderate magnitude 4.6 earthquake 11 km northwest of Miki, Japan

An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred in the evening on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, at 8:31 pm local time near Miki, Miki Shi, Hyōgo, Japan, as reported by Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 18. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Yashiro (pop. 21,600) located 2 km from the epicenter, Ono (pop. 47,600) 6 km away, Kato (pop. 40,600) 7 km away, Nishiwaki (pop. 38,700) 9 km away, Kasai (pop. 42,700) 11 km away, and Miki (pop. 75,500) 11 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kakogawacho-honmachi (pop. 271,600) located 19 km from the epicenter, Kobe (pop. 1,525,200) 31 km away, and Osaka (pop. 2,753,900) 55 km away.

Magnitude 5.2 earthquake strikes near Hihifo, Niuas, Tonga

An intermediate to deep magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported late at night near Hihifo, Niuas, Tonga.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, at 11:17 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 198.05 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Hihifo (pop. 300) located 80 km from the epicenter, and Vaipoa (pop. 170) 81 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.

Moderate yet deep 5.4 quake hits near Hihifo, Niuas, Tonga

The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 5.4 quake in Tonga near Hihifo, Niuas, only 10 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, at 11:11 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 204. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.5 earthquake. A third agency, France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.0.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Hihifo (pop. 300) located 70 km from the epicenter, and Vaipoa (pop. 170) 71 km away.
