...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTH FLORIDA...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may occur across parts of
the central/southern Florida Peninsula this afternoon and evening.

...20Z Update...
Only minor changes to the general thunderstorm forecast in North
Florida were made base on current observations. Mid-level ascent is
entering the northeastern Gulf per visible/water-vapor satellite.
This should continue to promote potential for additional
thunderstorms within the central and southern Florida Peninsula. See
the previous discussion for additional details.

..Wendt.. 02/28/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1012 AM CST Sat Feb 28 2026/

...Central/Southern Florida Peninsula...
Late morning surface analysis places a cold front near the I-4
corridor across the central portion of the Peninsula, with upper 60s
to lower 70s dewpoints south of the boundary.  A mid-level vorticity
maximum over MS/AL this morning is forecast to continue
east-southeastward through the base of a larger-scale eastern US
trough and eventually reach the Gulf Stream east of GA and
southwestward to the southern 1/3 of the Peninsula by early Sunday
morning.  As this impulse progresses towards the region, the
aforementioned front will slowly move south.  This boundary, a
residual outflow boundary, and an east-coast sea breeze will help
focus thunderstorm development and a potential severe risk this
afternoon.  Ample heating of the moist boundary layer beneath a weak
cap, which will continue to erode by early to mid afternoon, will
result in 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE.  Low-level flow will likely remain
veered and relatively weak, but 30+ kt shear in the 700-300 mb layer
will support some updraft organization.  Scattered thunderstorms are
forecast to develop in the 18-20z period with a some of the stronger
storms potentially being capable of 55-65 mph gusts and 1 to 1.75
inch diameter hail.  Short-term CAM guidance suggests the most
concentrated corridor for severe may extend from the north side of
Lake Okeechobee, where an agitated cumulus field is developing along
the diffuse outflow boundary, southward into Broward/Palm Beach
counties.  Convection is forecast to eventually move east into the
Atlantic this evening with the severe risk diminishing.

...Oklahoma...
Weak MUCAPE should develop by this afternoon/early evening across
parts of OK near a surface trough.  A low-amplitude shortwave trough
embedded within broad cyclonic flow over the central/eastern CONUS
may support isolated thunderstorm development across this area in
tandem with peak afternoon heating. Instability should remain too
weak to support an organized severe threat with this activity,
although locally strong/gusty winds and small hail appear possible
given steepened low-level lapse rates and favorably strong
deep-layer shear.

...Northern California...
A mid-level shortwave trough will move east-northeastward today
across northern CA and vicinity. Cool temperatures aloft associated
with this shortwave trough combined with generally 40 to mid 50s
surface dewpoints and filtered daytime heating should promote around
500-750 J/kg of MUCAPE over this region by mid to late afternoon. 
While a couple of stronger thunderstorms may form across this area,
the overall severe threat should tend to be limited by the weak
instability.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0106 PM CST Sat Feb 28 2026

Valid 021200Z - 031200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms will be possible on Monday and Monday night across
parts of the central U.S. and from the Intermountain West into the
central Rockies.

...Synopsis...
A broad fetch of isentropic ascent will likely become established
across the central U.S. Monday through Monday night as
south/southwesterly 925-850 mb winds gradually increase in response
to the approach of an upper wave from the West. While buoyancy
profiles will likely be fairly modest due to poor mid-level lapse
rates, adequate low-level moistening should take place to support
isolated elevated thunderstorms from the southern Plains northward
into the mid-MS River Valley. Although surface-based buoyancy should
be maximized across western TX in proximity to a meandering dry
line/lee trough and south of a weak front, very warm temperatures at
850 mb/strong capping will subdue convective potential. Across the
Intermountain West, cold temperatures aloft associated with the
upper wave should support isolated lightning flashes.

see the discussion below for details.

..Barnes.. 02/28/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0207 AM CST Sat Feb 28 2026/

...Synopsis...
Mid-level ridging is forecast to continue building over the
Southwest D2/Sunday ahead of a shortwave trough over the West Coast.
Modest westerly flow aloft may support some breezy downslope winds
in parts of NM and TX ahead of a southward moving cold front.
Widespread fire-weather concerns are not expected, though locally
dry and breezy conditions are possible.

...Eastern New Mexico into Far West TX...
With sub-tropical ridging forecast to build steadily over the
Southwest D2/Sunday, winds aloft are forecast to remain modest over
parts of the southern High Plains. However, very warm temperatures,
and high pressure to the west will favor some locally breezy surface
winds of 15-20 mph across parts of eastern NM into far west TX. Warm
temperatures will support RH of 15-20% during the afternoon. While
the modest surface winds will preclude broader concerns, the dry
conditions and locally breezy winds during the afternoon could
support some localized fire-weather conditions amid dry fuels
D2/Sunday afternoon.

Valid 011200Z - 021200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms will be possible on Sunday across parts of south
Florida, the southern and central Plains, and in northern California
Sunday afternoon and evening.

...Synopsis...
A strong cyclone traversing eastern Canada this morning will be
followed by strengthening surface high pressure across the eastern
two-thirds of the CONUS tomorrow. A weak trailing cold front
associated with the Canadian cyclone will gradually migrate south
into the Southeast and southern Plains. Isentropic ascent over the
frontal zone will support isolated thunderstorms across portions of
OK into southeast KS, southwest MO, and northwest AR tomorrow
afternoon and evening. Although the kinematic environment is
conditionally favorable for organized convection, meager moisture
return and poor mid-level lapse rates should mitigate severe
thunderstorm potential. There is a low chance for a strong
thunderstorm across central OK during the evening hours per latest
RRFS solutions, which depict better low-level moisture/buoyancy into
OK and are aligned with recent RAP solutions environmentally.
However, the consensus among other HREF members and calibrated
guidance is that the RRFS is the outlier solution, which
substantially limits confidence in the severe potential.

Elsewhere, lingering showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected
within a residual frontal zone across the southern FL Peninsula
where an unstable, but weakly capped, environment should be in
place. Along the West Coast, an upper-level trough pushing into
northern CA and southern OR will support isolated thunderstorms as
instability increases due to cooling temperatures aloft within a
fairly moist air mass.

Moderate earthquake of magnitude 4.5 just reported 72 km southwest of Tahuna, Indonesia

An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred after midnight on Sunday, March 1st, 2026, at 12:15 am local time near Tahuna, Kabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe, Sulawesi Utara, Indonesia, as reported by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a great depth of 357. km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Tahuna (pop. 35,300, 72 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
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 5.1 earthquake 59 km northwest of Miyakojima, Japan

The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 5.1 quake in Japan near Miyakojima, Miyakojima Shi, Okinawa, only 9 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the evening on Saturday, February 28th, 2026, at 9:57 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1 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 Hirara (pop. 34,400) located 58 km from the epicenter, Miyakojima (pop. 54,900) 59 km away, Tarama (pop. 1,200) 62 km away, and Ishigaki (pop. 47,600) 122 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.
