Moderate magnitude 4.8 earthquake 119 km northwest of Saumlaki, Indonesia Webmaster 2 hours ago

Moderate magnitude 4.8 earthquake 119 km northwest of Saumlaki, Indonesia

Just 8 minutes ago, a 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Saumlaki, Western Southeast Maluku Regency, Maluku, Indonesia. The tremor was recorded early morning on Thursday, January 29th, 2026, at 2:22 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.8.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Saumlaki (pop. 13,800) located 119 km from the epicenter.

Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1020 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026

Valid 281700Z - 291200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

The previous forecast (see below) remains on track.

..Squitieri.. 01/28/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0141 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026/

...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low today across the
CONUS. A cool and dry air mass will remain in place, with extensive
snow pack reaching from the Southern Plains into portions of the
Northeast. Overall, the recent cold and wet pattern has improved
status of fuels in many areas. Some dry conditions will continue
across southern Florida but mostly light winds will preclude the
need to include any areas.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1008 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026

Valid 291200Z - 301200Z

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm probabilities across the U.S. appear less than 10
percent for Thursday through Thursday night.

...Discussion...
Models indicate that mid/upper ridging will build inland of the
Pacific coast, across the Sierra Nevada through the Canadian Rockies
and western Prairies, through this period.  As this occurs, a series
of short wave perturbations emerging from evolving large-scale
upstream troughing are forecast to approach the British
Columbia/Pacific Northwest, within deep-layer southwesterly flow. 
Continuing low/mid-level moisture return is likely to support
another round of precipitation with an inland migrating baroclinic
wave.  However, beneath relatively warm mid/upper levels, saturating
thermodynamic profiles appear unlikely to become supportive of
thunderstorm development.

Meanwhile, an inland migrating short wave trough, preceding the
building ridge, is forecast to dig across the Great Basin and
Rockies, through the south central Great Plains and lower
Mississippi Valley by late Thursday night, as a much more prominent
short wave trough pivoting southwest of Hudson Bay progresses across
the international border into the Upper Midwest.  Beneath a
confluent regime in the wake of the latter perturbation, it appears
that another cold surface ridge will begin building across the
international border through the northern Great Plains and upper 
Mississippi Valley.  In advance of the perturbation emerging from
the West, a weak developing lee surface low may be maintained across
the Red River and lower Mississippi Valleys, while perhaps another
weak wave develops along a remnant preceding frontal zone across the
northwestern Gulf Basin.  However, models indicate that western Gulf
boundary-layer modification and inland moisture return will be quite
limited, with little potential for destabilization supportive of an
appreciable risk for thunderstorm activity.

Moderate magnitude 4.8 quake hits 99 km southwest of Norala, Philippines late at night Webmaster 3 hours ago

Moderate magnitude 4.8 quake hits 99 km southwest of Norala, Philippines late at night

Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 4.8 quake in the Philippines near Norala, South Cotabato, Soccsksargen, only 11 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026, at 11:58 pm local time at a shallow depth of 12. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.8 as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.6.
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 Palimbang (pop. 4,900) located 37 km from the epicenter, Sangay (pop. 3,800) 43 km away, Kalamansig (pop. 12,800) 54 km away, and Lake Sebu (pop. 21,800) 94 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Laguilayan (pop. 17,800) located 96 km from the epicenter, Norala (pop. 48,500) 99 km away, Koronadal (pop. 201,800) 117 km away, and Koronadal (pop. 201,800) 117 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.

Day 1 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1000 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026

Valid 281630Z - 291200Z

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast through tonight.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
Longwave upper troughing with multiple embedded mid-level
perturbations over the eastern CONUS and Canada will maintain
surface high pressure and offshore/continental low-level
trajectories across the Southeast through tonight. A separate
shortwave trough will continue to progress eastward over the Great
Basin and northern/central Rockies/Plains today. Negligible
instability across all these regions will preclude thunderstorms.
