MD 0154 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 17... FOR NORTHERN INDIANA INTO SOUTHERN MICHIGAN

Mesoscale Discussion 0154
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0637 PM CST Fri Mar 06 2026

Areas affected...Northern Indiana into southern Michigan

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 17...

Valid 070037Z - 070230Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 17
continues.

SUMMARY...A squall line will continue east across northern Indiana
and southern lower Michigan for the next couple of hours before
gradually weakening. Damaging gusts remain the primary threat.

DISCUSSION...Latest MRMS and GOES IR imagery continue to show new
updraft development within a squall line draped from southern MI
into northwest IN, and local radar imagery continues to show a few
bowing segments within the line. Regional VWPs and latest RAP
mesoanalysis continues to show a strongly sheared environment in
place across the region with 0-3 km BWD values on the order of 30-40
knots and 40-50 knots winds within the lowest kilometer. This
kinematic environment will continue to support the potential for
organized/bowing segments within the line with an attendant threat
for severe/damaging winds - especially with any
meridionally-oriented segments. With time, a gradual weakening trend
is expected as the squall line outpaces the axis of better
surface-based buoyancy draped from western IL into northern IN. The
onset of nocturnal cooling will further contribute to an overall
reduction in convective intensity in the coming hours.

MD 0155 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 16... FOR EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO WESTERN IOWA

Mesoscale Discussion 0155
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0712 PM CST Fri Mar 06 2026

Areas affected...Eastern Nebraska into western Iowa

Concerning...Tornado Watch 16...

Valid 070112Z - 070315Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 16 continues.

SUMMARY...Elevated thunderstorms to the north of a cold front will
continue to pose a large to very large hail threat for the next
several hours.

DISCUSSION...Elevated thunderstorms developing to the north of a
surging cold front have produced hail stones ranging from 1 to 2
inches over the past hour. Although radar presentation of these
cells has been somewhat meager, the 00z OAX sounding sampled 1250
J/kg MUCAPE above the frontal surface and an elongated hodograph
characterized by effective bulk shear on the order of 50 knots. This
environment is very favorable for splitting supercells capable of
producing large/very large hail. Per latest RAP mesoanalysis
estimates, this environment extends eastward into western IA, and
additional cells are noted developing within the post-frontal regime
across eastern NE/western IA. These trends suggest that the threat
for large hail is likely increasing, though it remains somewhat
unclear how long storm mode will remain discrete/semi-discrete
downstream. Regardless, additionally watch issuance may be needed in
the coming hours to address this threat if the developing cells
remain highly efficient at hail production.

0743 PM CST Fri Mar 06 2026

Areas affected...Northeast Oklahoma to West-Central Missouri

Concerning...Tornado Watch 15...18...

Valid 070143Z - 070315Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 15, 18 continues.

SUMMARY...Supercell threat, with isolated tornadoes, continues this
evening.

DISCUSSION...Complex mode of convection has evolved from northeast
OK into west-central MO. Strong low-level warm advection is noted
along this corridor, coincident with the LLJ. VWP data from
INX/SGF/EAX all exhibit 0-3 SRH values in excess of 400 m2/s2, and
ample buoyancy was noted on the 00z soundings from SGF/TOP/OUN. OUN
was particularly noteworthy with 2100 J/kg MLCAPE and negligible
inhibition. Latest radar data depicts at least two long-lived
supercells over northeast OK, embedded within a broader mixed-mode
elongated convective band. This activity will continue to
spread/develop northeast, along with an attendant risk for tornadoes
and perhaps some large hail.

MD 0151 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR NORTHEAST COLORADO INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA

Mesoscale Discussion 0151
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0436 PM CST Fri Mar 06 2026

Areas affected...Northeast Colorado into western Nebraska

Concerning...Heavy snow 

Valid 062236Z - 070230Z

SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy snow bands will likely continue into the
early evening hours across northeast Colorado into parts of western
Nebraska. Snowfall rates may exceed 1 inch/hour under the more
persistent bands.

DISCUSSION...Transient snow bands have been evident in regional
radar mosaics over the past couple of hours across northeast CO  and
western NE. ASOS/AWOS observations under these bands have been
reporting visibility reductions down to 1/4 mile at times under the
heavier bands. Despite winds of 20-25 mph, blowing snow model output
suggests these visibility reductions are mainly attributable to
heavy snowfall rates given temperatures in the upper 20s/low 30s.

Heading into the evening hours, strong synoptic ascent within the
left-exit region of a passing upper jet coupled with more focused
frontogenetical lift between 850-700 mb will support a continuation
of at least transient heavy snow bands across northeast CO and into
parts of western NE for the next several hours. Although some areas
remain above freezing, an influx of colder air behind a passing cold
front should allow for temperatures through the lowest couple of
kilometers to fall below freezing and support moderate to heavy
snowfall rates later this evening. Based on recent observations and
latest model guidance, snowfall rates up to one inch/hour appear
likely under the heavier, more persistent snow bands.

Day 1 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0706 PM CST Fri Mar 06 2026

Valid 070100Z - 071200Z

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY FROM
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS INTO WESTERN MISSOURI AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe storms remain possible primarily from northeast
Oklahoma into Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, with isolated severe storms
extending from central Texas to Lower Michigan. Scattered hail,
damaging winds, and a few tornadoes remain possible.

...Discussion...
The most active area of tornado threat is currently with a cluster
of storms over northeast OK. This activity may continue to evolve
this evening as the low-level jet increases, and shear remains
favorable into eastern KS and southwest MO. The TOP and SGF 00Z
soundings continue to show wind profiles favorable for tornadic
cells.

To the north along the cold front, an unstable air mass remains
ahead of it, although the front will quickly undercut much of the
area as it continues south. However, brief supercells may occur
along the boundary, with wind and tornado threat, and, elevated hail
will remain possible well behind the front.

For more information about KS into IA, see mesoscale discussion
0152.

For information on northeast OK, see mesoscale discussion 0153.

For information on northern IN into southern Lower MI, see mesoscale
discussion 0154.

Significant earthquake of magnitude 5.1 just reported 61 km northwest of Miyakojima, Japan

An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 occurred in the morning on Saturday, March 7th, 2026, at 7:39 am local time near Miyakojima, Miyakojima Shi, Okinawa, Japan, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. 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.
A second report was later issued by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.1, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.1.
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 Hirara (pop. 34,400) located 59 km from the epicenter, Miyakojima (pop. 54,900) 61 km away, and Tarama (pop. 1,200) 73 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.

Significant 5.3 quake hits near Ürümqi, Urumqi Shi, Xinjiang, China

Just 18 minutes ago, a 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck near Ürümqi, Urumqi Shi, Xinjiang, China. The tremor was recorded early morning on Saturday, March 7th, 2026, at 5:44 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, 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 5.0 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.1, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.1.
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 Shihezi (pop. 572,800) located 72 km from the epicenter, Changji (pop. 198,800) 76 km away, Sandaohezi (pop. 60,100) 93 km away, and Ürümqi (pop. 3,029,400) 94 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0357 PM CST Fri Mar 06 2026

Valid 081200Z - 141200Z

Split upper-level flow will start out the extended period on Day
3/Sunday with a cutoff low over Baja California and a positively
tilted shortwave trough progressing east through the Great Lakes
region. By Day 4/Monday, upper-level flow becomes largely zonal
across northern portions of the CONUS. The aforementioned
upper-level low begins to move eastward, passing through the
southern Plains on Day 6/Wednesday in phase with another
strengthening shortwave trough progressing across the northern
Plains.

On Day 3/Sunday, a 40% area was introduced over portions of
northeast New Mexico and the west Texas Panhandle where afternoon
RHs are expected to drop to 8-15% coinciding with west-southwest
sustained winds at 15-25 mph. A 40% area was strongly considered for
portions of the northern High Plains, especially near the Black
Hills where the lowest afternoon RHs of 15-25% would combine with
the strongest westerly sustained winds of 15-25 mph. However, given
recent and ongoing precipitation, including snow, over these areas
on Day 1/Friday and forecast uncertainty, probabilities were not
introduced. 

Weaker flow on Day 4/Monday over the Southwest and adjacent southern
High Plains is likely to present sub-Elevated fire weather
conditions. Thus, the decision was made to not include any marginal
probabilities with this issuance. Future outlooks will reconsider
this potential as forecast guidance evolves.

The aforementioned cutoff low begins to move eastward through the
Southwest and southern High Plains on Day 5/Tuesday and Day
6/Wednesday likely bringing precipitation to portions of the region.
While there are likely to be differences in the exact placement and
track of any precipitation, it does appear that some relief could be
headed for portions of these areas of recent concern.

Moderate magnitude 4.7 quake hits 72 km southeast of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia early morning

A shallow magnitude 4.7 earthquake was reported early morning near Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Saturday, March 7th, 2026, at 4:51 am local time at a shallow depth of 10. 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 4.7 as well.
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.
