SPC MD 376
MD 0376 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO THE TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES

Mesoscale Discussion 0376
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0451 PM CDT Fri Apr 10 2026

Areas affected...Eastern New Mexico into the Texas/Oklahoma
Panhandles

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 102151Z - 102345Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Marginally severe thunderstorms across portions of eastern
New Mexico into the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles will persist late
this afternoon into the evening hours. These storms will primarily
be capable of damaging wind gusts and 1.00-1.25 inch hail. No
weather watch issuance is anticipated at this time.

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have developed in the vicinity and south
of a surface cold front currently oriented east-west across portions
of the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. Storms along and immediately
south of the boundary will have support for at least some convective
organization due to modest deep-layer shear of 35-40 kts, while
further to the south and into eastern New Mexico, storms have
primarily developed in deep/dry boundary layers with steep low-level
lapse rates. All storms will be capable of some severe wind gusts
and 1.00-1.25 in hail, with the greatest threat for organized severe
storms being along and immediately south of the surface cold front.
Thunderstorms in the deep/dry boundary layers further south are more
likely to remain disorganized, but are capable of downbursts owing
to the steep low-level lapse rates and tall LCL heights in excess of
2 km. No WW issuance is anticipated at this time.

SPC MD 374
MD 0374 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF NORTHWEST/WEST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA

Mesoscale Discussion 0374
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0228 PM CDT Fri Apr 10 2026

Areas affected...parts of northwest/west central Oklahoma

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 101928Z - 102200Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Intensifying thunderstorm development appears probable
southwest through west-northwest of the Enid OK vicinity through 3-5
PM CDT, with stronger storms posing a risk for small to marginally
severe hail and localized strong wind gusts.

DISCUSSION...Insolation appears to have contribute to moderate
boundary-layer destabilization (including CAPE up to 2000 J/kg)
along the western flank of stalled/slow moving convective outflow to
the north through west-northwest of the Greater Oklahoma City area. 
As destabilization continues, and mid-level inhibition erodes,
deepening convective development is underway in a corridor southwest
of Enid into areas near/south of Gage OK.  Further intensification
into increasing thunderstorm development appears probable through
the next couple of hours, perhaps aided by forcing for ascent
associated with weak low-level warm advection.

Vertical shear across this region will remain quite weak, in the
presence of westerly deep-layer mean flow on the order of 10-15 kt. 
However, thermodynamic profiles may be cool enough, with modestly
steep lower/mid-tropospheric lapse rates, to support small to
marginally severe hail in occasional stronger updraft pulses.  A
couple of strong downbursts also appear possible, but the evolution
of a mesoscale convective vortex with consolidating, sustained
vigorous thunderstorm development will probably be needed to support
a more appreciable risk for damaging wind gusts.  Potential for this
currently seems low, but perhaps not out of the question.

MD 0375 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL CALIFORNIA

Mesoscale Discussion 0375
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0348 PM CDT Fri Apr 10 2026

Areas affected...portions of central California

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 102048Z - 102245Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...An instance of hail or perhaps a brief tornado may
accompany the stronger storms that manage to develop this afternoon.
However, the severe threat should remain sparse.

DISCUSSION...Widespread clouds, rainfall, and occasional
thunderstorms have overspread the central and northern CA Valley
region through much of the day, inhibiting destabilization to a
degree. However, some breaks in the clouds have allowed surface
temperatures to reach into the mid 60s to low 70s F, amid 50 F
dewpoints over the lower Sacramento Valley into the San Joaquin
Valley. 20Z mesoanalysis depicts MLCAPE exceeding 500 J/kg, with
just over 150 J/kg CAPE in the 0-3 km layer. With continued
heating/destabilization, multicells and low-topped supercells should
develop. Given some low-level vertically oriented vorticity present
in the Valley areas, any supercell that can become sustained may
ingest this vorticity and produce a brief tornado, in addition to
some hail. Nonetheless, the severe threat will be quite isolated at
best, so a WW issuance is not expected.

Moderate magnitude 4.5 earthquake 48 km south of Manokwari, Indonesia

An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred only 7 minutes ago 48 km south of Manokwari, Indonesia, Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Manokwari, Manokwari Regency, Provinsi Papua Barat, Indonesia, early morning on Saturday, April 11th, 2026, at 5:40 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake 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.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Ransiki (pop. 16,200) located 24 km from the epicenter, and Manokwari (pop. 107,300) 48 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
OREGON...THE CENTRAL VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA...THE GREAT BASIN AND
SOUTHERN PLAINS/OZARKS...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms with isolated large hail and severe gusts remain
possible this afternoon and evening across parts of the
south-central Plains to the Ozarks. Strong to locally severe storms
may also occur from western/northern Nevada into southeast Oregon
and southwest Idaho, and also across parts of north-central
California.

...20z Update...
Minimal changes were made to the prior outlook. A prominent
differential heating/outflow boundary associated with a cluster of
thunderstorms over OK is forecast to continue sagging southward this
afternoon. An increase in storm coverage is possible this afternoon
and evening associated with the ongoing cluster and the trailing
boundary. With moderate buoyancy weak vertical shear, a low-end risk
for damaging gusts and hail could develop. 5% wind and hail
probabilities have been expanded slightly farther southeastward.

To the West across the Great Basin, strong mid-level ascent ahead of
the upper low over the Pacific Coast was overspreading a marginally
moist and buoyant air mass across parts of NV. Strong southerly flow
aloft could support a few semi-organized storms or clusters capable
of damaging gusts and sporadic hail. 5% wind and hail probabilities
have been expanded southward over parts of NV where buoyancy and
shear overlap could support some severe potential.

Otherwise, isolated severe storms remain possible across parts of
the central Valley of CA and western OR. The forecast remains
unchanged, see the prior discussion for more information.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 AM CDT Fri Apr 10 2026/

...Southern High Plains/South-central Plains into the Ozarks...
Recent surface analysis places a low over the western TX Panhandle,
with a cold front extending east-northeastward from this low across
northwest and north-central OK, and far southeast KS, before
becoming oriented more northeastward across southern and central MO.
Showers and thunderstorms are ongoing in the vicinity of this
boundary, as well modest southeastward-progressing outflow, across
far southern KS and northern OK. 

The cold front is forecast to trend more stationary throughout the
day as heights rise across the Plains and southerly low-level flow
persists across the southern Plains, with the outflow following this
trend as well. After 06Z, this stationary boundary will likely begin
shifting back northward into southern KS as warm front. Additional
thunderstorm development is possible amid low-level convergence near
both the stationary front and outflow as the airmass modestly
destabilizes this afternoon. Isolated damaging gusts and/or
marginally severe hail is possible with the strongest storms, but
modest shear and buoyancy suggests most storms will be sub-severe.

Farther west, low-level convergence along a sharpening lee trough
may contribute to late afternoon thunderstorm development across the
southern High Plain, particularly northeast NM. High cloud bases and
steep low-level lapse rates support the potential for strong
downbursts with any deep/more persistent updrafts. Some interaction
with the western extent of the frontal zone is possible as well,
which could briefly enhance updrafts, contributing to a continued
potential for damaging gusts as well as isolated hail.

...North-central CA/western OR into the northern Great Basin...
Upper low currently centered just off the northern/central CA coast
is forecast to become more progressive and negatively tilted
throughout the day today. Mid-level moisture and ascent attendant to
this wave will support scattered thunderstorm development this
afternoon from central/northern CA and western OR into the northern
Great Basin and interior Northwest. Cold temperatures aloft (i.e.
-20 deg C at 500 mb) and strong diurnal heating will result in steep
low/mid-level lapse rates and at least modest buoyancy across much
of the region. 

A few areas (interior valley of central CA, Willamette Valley in OR,
and northern NV/southwest OR/southern ID) appear to have a slightly
higher potential for isolated strong to severe storms, largely a
result of more diurnal heating/higher afternoon temperatures.
Greater buoyancy combined with moderate/strong deep-layer shear will
support semi-organized cells/clusters, and perhaps even a few
supercells, may develop with an attendant threat of hail and
localized severe wind gusts. Deep-layer shear will be a bit weaker
across the interior valley of central CA but still sufficient for a
few organized storms. The steep lapse rate environment and local
terrain influences could also support transient cell rotation and
possibly funnels, or even a brief tornado.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0235 PM CDT Fri Apr 10 2026

Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

...Afternoon Update...
Elevated fire weather highlights were added for portions eastern WY,
northwestern NE Panhandle, and southwestern SD. As a strengthening
surface low traverses northern MT, tightening surface pressure
gradients and surface lee troughing east of the Rockies will promote
seasonably warm, dry and breezy west-southwesterly flow. RH of 15-20
percent and sustained southwesterly surface winds of 15-20 mph
(gusts up to 30 mph) atop recently receptive fuels will promote
elevated fire weather concerns. An overlapping area of Isolated Dry
Thunder has also been introduced, extending farther into
northeastern CO and the western NE Panhandle. Large scale ascent
associated with an approaching shortwave trough is expected to
provide enough forcing in a region of adequate instability (200-350
J/kg MUCAPE) for afternoon and evening isolated to possibly
scattered thunderstorms. Provided a near 3 km deep dry sub-cloud
layer, gusty and erratic winds will further enhance the fire
environment with any new fire starts.

Isolated thunderstorms are likely across portions of northern AZ
into central/eastern UT and western CO. While elevated winds/RH and
a mix of wet/dry thunderstorms are likely across these areas,
anticipated rainfall and marginal fuels preclude the introduction of
Elevated and IsoDryT areas at this time.

..Elizalde-Garcia/Nauslar.. 04/10/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0202 AM CDT Fri Apr 10 2026/

...Synopsis...
Upper-level ridging will shift from the Great Plains to the eastern
CONUS as longwave troughing shifts offshore of the Northeast on
D2/Saturday. A closed upper-level low will simultaneously approach
the California coastline while a mid-level shortwave trough
traverses northeastward across the Great Basin and northern Great
Plains. A cold front will slowly move southward across the
Mid-Atlantic while a warm front lifts northeastward across the Great
Plains. Surface high pressure will remain in place across the
Southeast and Great Lakes.

...Portions of the Great Basin...
Sustained southwesterly surface winds of 15-25 mph may briefly
overlap reduced RH values of 15-20% across the eastern/southern
Great Basin. This may promote the potential for locally elevated
fire weather concerns across portions of eastern Utah and
northeastern Arizona Saturday afternoon where fuels will have been
preconditioned by a couple of days of dry, breezy conditions.
Elevated highlights have been withheld at this time, however, due to
the potential for sporadic showers during the afternoon as well as
uncertainty regarding lingering mid/high cloud cover, which may
inhibit greater boundary layer mixing and thus temper RH reductions.
Trends will continue to be monitored for future outlook issuances.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN
KANSAS...WESTERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND NORTHWEST TEXAS INTO
CENTRAL TEXAS....

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible from the southern and
central Plains into the Upper Midwest on Sunday.

...Synopsis...
On Sunday, a ridge will become established across the eastern CONUS
with a trough advancing slowly inland across the West. A weak
mid-level shortwave trough will move from the central Plains to the
Great Lakes during the period. Persistent mid-level flow across the
Rockies will continue lee troughing and northward moisture transport
across the Plains.

...Central/Southern Plains...
A large area of precipitation is expected to be ongoing Sunday
morning from central Oklahoma to central Texas. This is expected to
move slowly northeast through the day. Subsidence in the wake of the
morning shortwave trough associated with this activity should allow
for recovery ahead of the dryline from West Texas to central Kansas.
In addition, southwesterly to west-southwesterly flow aloft and a
well-established EML should assist in erosion of cloud cover across
this region by late morning. Therefore, by late Sunday afternoon,
moderate to strong instability is forecast to develop ahead of the
dryline. 

Forcing across the warm sector remains weak and casts considerable
conditionality to the forecast. Guidance shows mostly neutral
heights across the dryline during the day. In addition, the dryline
remains relatively diffuse which would not support the strong
convergent circulations necessary for convective initiation.
However, it is worth noting that much of the guidance has a dryline
orientation oriented somewhat northeast to southwest. Therefore, any
convection which develops within this zone may have a long enough
residence time to mature before moving off of the dryline. Given the
expectation for minimal inhibition during the afternoon, this may
favor storm development along particular mesoscale corridors along
the dryline Sunday afternoon/early evening in an otherwise weakly
forced environment. Given moderate to potentially strong instability
and moderate shear, large hail (including the potential for 2+ inch
hail) will likely be the primary hazard with any supercells that
develop. 

...Central/South Texas...
12Z guidance is fairly consistent with the depiction of a mid-level
shortwave trough moving across northern Mexico during the day
Sunday. Given the strong instability across northern Mexico and
south Texas, it would seem likely for storms to develop along the
higher terrain of northern Mexico during the afternoon/evening ahead
of this trough. Strong instability downstream could maintain these
storms through the evening with some potential for upscale growth
(such as shown by the RRFS). However, significant inhibition on
forecast soundings and minimal QPF signal from the global guidance,
combined with minimal convection over the higher terrain in Mexico
from the other CAM guidance out through 00Z casts some doubt on this
scenario. 

An additional scenario is possible across central Texas. At the
southern end of the morning convection, continued storm development
is possible within a supercell environment. This scenario is less
certain given rising heights aloft and will likely be dictated by
the character of the cold pool from Saturday night/Sunday morning
storms. However, this is a scenario depicted by some guidance (most
notably the ECMWF) which could have a locally higher severe weather
threat across this region on Sunday afternoon. 

...Upper Midwest...
A conditional supercell environment will also exist across the Upper
Midwest ahead of a surface low, though severe risk will depend on
timing of the mid-level shortwave trough. Uncertainties regarding
storm coverage remain, but will maintain the Marginal Risk and
trends will be monitored.

Moderate magnitude 4.5 quake hits 44 km northwest of Daruba, Indonesia early morning

Just 9 minutes ago, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake struck near Daruba, Morotai Island Regency, North Maluku, Indonesia. The tremor was recorded early morning on Saturday, April 11th, 2026, at 4:08 am local time, at an intermediate to considerable depth of 157. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, which listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.5.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Daruba (pop. 23,600) located 44 km from the epicenter, Galela (pop. 8,800) 78 km away, and Tobelo (pop. 34,200) 79 km away.
