Day 4-8 Outlook

Day 4-8 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0350 AM CDT Sat Mar 14 2026

Valid 171200Z - 221200Z

...DISCUSSION...
On Tuesday/D4, a large upper trough will move across the Northeast,
though the associated surface cold front will already be well
offshore the East Coast with high pressure over land. Behind this
upper trough, models indicate a large upper ridge will be situated
over the Southwest for several days, with a northwest flow pattern
across the Plains. Given this pattern, minimal appreciable moisture
return is expected over the CONUS, and severe storms appear unlikely
through Saturday/D8.

Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF
THE CAROLINAS...VIRGINIA...AND EXTENDING NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN
PENNSYLVANIA...

...SUMMARY...
Widespread damaging winds and several tornadoes are forecast on
Monday for parts of the Mid Atlantic and Southeast.

...Discussion...
A large and deepening upper trough will eject east/northeastward out
of the MS/OH/TN Valleys and across the Appalachians and into the Mid
Atlantic/Northeast on Monday, with an expansive area of strong wind
fields aloft. A surface low move from Lower MI into southern Quebec,
with a deep pre-frontal trough extending southward across eastern
PA, VA, and NC by around 21Z. Ahead of this trough/front, southerly
winds will bring 60s F dewpoints as far north as southeast PA.

Storms will likely be ongoing along the length of the cold front,
roughly from OH to the FL Panhandle Monday morning. Given the
uncapped air mass over the Carolinas, a few storms, possibly
supercells, may develop relatively early in the day as well, with
tornado potential. The greatest threat however will be during the
afternoon as cold front nears, and pressure falls are maximized
along with daytime heating. A few supercells ahead of the line will
be possible, along with embedded circulations and/significant
damaging winds within the squall line.

There are model differences regarding the speed/position of the cold
front, as well as the degree of instability. Regardless, damaging
winds over a large area appear likely, along with at least a few
tornadoes. Depending on the degree of destabilization, a strong
tornado or two may occur especially over parts of the Carolinas and
Virginia during the late afternoon. Many models forecast 300-500
m2/s2 SRH, along with pockets of SBCAPE over 1000 J/kg, which is
clearly favorable for tornadic supercells.

Valid 151200Z - 161200Z

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR CENTRAL/EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND
PORTIONS OF WEST TEXAS...

...Synopsis...
Behind a departing low pressure system on D2/Sunday, strong
northwesterly flow will continue across the southern High Plains.
Elevated to Critical fire weather is likely to be ongoing at the
start of the period, continuing overnight from D1/Saturday. 

Through the afternoon on Sunday, a cold front will shift southwards
across southern Kansas into the OK/TX Panhandles and eastern New
Mexico, bringing a shift from westerly to northerly winds which may
pose a risk with any ongoing fires. Ahead of the front, relative
humidity reductions around 10-15% will overlap sustained westerly
winds 20-25 mph. Though relative humidity may initially improve post
cold frontal passage, a secondary period of Elevated to Critical
conditions appears likely across the OK/TX Panhandles into the
afternoon/evening where relative humidity will drop near 15% again
overlapping north to northwesterly winds 20-25 mph. A large Critical
area was maintained with this outlook from central/eastern New
Mexico into Western Texas where highest confidence in Critical
conditions remains. 

Broader Elevated fire weather concerns will extend into portions of
central Texas and Oklahoma, where afternoon relative humidity around
20-25% will overlap with sustained winds around 20 mph. Elevated
conditions will also extend into much of northern and western New
Mexico where fuels are expected to experience drying over the D1/D2
period.

Small tremor of magnitude 2.9 just reported 4 km south of Assen, Netherlands

A magnitude 2.9 earthquake near Assen, Assen Municipality, Provincie Drenthe, Netherlands, was reported only 22 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 3. km beneath the epicenter early morning on Saturday, March 14th, 2026, at 2:14 am local time. 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 should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Assen (pop. 68,800) located 4 km from the epicenter. In Stadskanaal (pop. 20,000, 25 km away), Hoogezand (pop. 21,500, 26 km away), Leek (pop. 19,700, 26 km away), Veendam (pop. 28,200, 26 km away), Hoogeveen (pop. 38,800, 27 km away), Groningen (pop. 244,800, 29 km away), Emmen (pop. 57,000, 30 km away), and Drachten (pop. 45,200, 36 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

Significant earthquake of magnitude 5.3 just reported 128 km east of Yamada, Japan

An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred early morning on Saturday, March 14th, 2026, at 5:55 am local time near Yamada, Shimohei-gun, Iwate, Japan, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 20. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency which listed the quake at magnitude 5.3 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.3, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.3.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Yamada (pop. 15,200) located 128 km from the epicenter.
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.

Significant magnitude 6.2 quake hits 69 km west of Vallenar, Chile in the morning

An earthquake of magnitude 6.2 occurred in the morning on Friday, March 13th, 2026, at 10:39 am local time near Vallenar, Provincia de Huasco, Region de Atacama, Chile, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 22. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 6.2 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The National Seismological Center (Centro Sismológico Nacional, CSN) of the University of Chile at magnitude 6.3, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 6.4.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Huasco (pop. 9,000) located 31 km from the epicenter, and Freirina (pop. 6,000) 40 km away.
In Vallenar (pop. 44,900) located 69 km from the epicenter, Alto del Carmen (pop. 5,000) 95 km away, La Serena (pop. 154,500) 141 km away, and Coquimbo (pop. 161,300) 145 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
