The quake was recorded at 7:23 a.m. and located 12 miles northwest of Shiprock, New Mexico, just across the southern border of Colorado.
The area is part of the Colorado Plateau in an area where earthquakes are generally small – in the magnitude 2-4 range.
No reports of damage were available.

Friday will wrap up the work week with warm and dry conditions that will be replaced with cooler temperatures and the potential for rain over the weekend.
The high temperature Friday will be in the upper 70s before falling to the low 40s overnight. Northwest winds in the 10 to 15 mile per hour range will shift to the east later in the day.
Saturday leads off a cooling trend for daytime highs. Expect lower 60s - below seasonal averages - through the weekend into the early part of the coming week, with Tuesday potentially reaching only the upper 50s.
