SPC MD 22
MD 0022 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR NORTHERN INDIANA AND FAR SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN

Mesoscale Discussion 0022
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0501 PM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

Areas affected...Northern Indiana and far southwest Lower Michigan

Concerning...Heavy snow 

Valid 142301Z - 150500Z

SUMMARY...A lake effect snow band will likely support heavy snowfall
rates in excess of 2 inches/hour across portions of northern Indiana
through the evening and into the overnight hours.

DISCUSSION...A lake effect snow band has been steadily organizing
over the past couple of hours across far southwest lower MI and
northern/northwest IN amid strengthening cold advection on the
backside of a passing upper disturbance. Surface observations under
the band report quarter-mile visibility with heavy snowfall, and
these observations are supported by live web cams in the South Bend,
IN area that show significant visibility reductions indicative of
heavy snowfall rates. 

Recent surface observations and 925 mb analyses show a subtle
confluence axis established across southeastern Lake Michigan that
is forecast to persist and shift to the southwest over the next
several hours. Latest forecast soundings depict 6.5 C/km lapse rates
and saturated profiles from the surface through roughly 3 km.
Additional deepening/saturation of this layer possible as ascent
within the left-exit region of an approaching upper jet (currently
noted upstream across portions of MN/WI in water-vapor imagery)
overspreads the region heading into the evening/overnight hours.

Maintenance of a favorable low to mid-level thermodynamic profile,
steady low-level confluence, and relatively warm water temperatures
(approximately 35-40 F per recent analyses) along the southeastern
shore of Lake MI should all contribute to robust lake effect snow
band capable of heavy snowfall rates potentially exceeding 2
inch/hour. Strong winds within the lowest few kilometers, gusting to
30-40 mph at times, may support periods of blizzard conditions under
the band.

Valid 150100Z - 151200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across the southwestern Florida
coast late tonight.

...01z Update...

Deep upper trough is settling across the eastern CONUS early this
evening. As heights fall across the northern Gulf basin, surface
front is forecast to surge across the central FL Peninsula by 12z.
Just ahead of this boundary, low-level moistening is expected into
the western portions of the southern Peninsula such that weak
buoyancy is expected to develop. Forecast soundings continue to
suggest isolated thunderstorms could develop late tonight, but most
of this activity should remain offshore.

Significant earthquake of magnitude 5.5 just reported 60 km southeast of Kushiro, Japan

Japan was shaken near Kushiro, Kushiro Shi, Hokkaido, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 only 11 minutes ago, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 54. km beneath the epicenter near Kushiro, Kushiro Shi, Hokkaido, Japan, in the morning on Thursday, January 15th, 2026, at 8:13 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.4. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.5, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.5.
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 Akkeshi (pop. 8,900) located 32 km from the epicenter, and Hamanaka-sakuraminami (pop. 5,500) 40 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kushiro (pop. 167,900) located 60 km from the epicenter, Nemuro (pop. 31,200) 73 km away, Nakashibetsu (pop. 24,000) 85 km away, and Shibetsu (pop. 21,700) 97 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.
