Hold on to you hats, it's going to be a rough ride.

It's been a while since we had a medium sized quake and that was early
on the 14th of March. Most of the above take place on the Pacific
coast of North America.
I wonder if that is an hint?

Nothing on any of the ocean charts I can see that looks promising
before the 20th (and I wouldn't put money on that.) A weak set up on
the NA EFS charts. And some mice on Met Office chart for the 19th
(which looks like more multiple low magnitude quakes.

But it does beg the question:
"Where is the Bocking High from them?"
Admittedly there is an extensive on down the Mid Atlantic Ridge from
Greenland to just above the Azores. Maybe that is it?

An injection of precipitation from Madagascar gets as far as 60 South
before getting brushed off whilst another dark mass south west of
South America crossed the ithsmus around the sme date. Apart from that
things look more interesting actually on the Antarctic continent than
offshore.

The frontal system on:

looks like it is encircling North America. Not that that means much to
me...
....yet.
