North America, 10% chance 6+M eq. latitude 37N to 55N, longitude 150 to 90W, from now to 2017-07-13 12:00 UTC
Essentially, Northwest quarter of Continental US. Mainly based on data from current earthquake cluster and atmosphere pressure projections provided by Windy.com, and long term higher risk considerations due to full moon July 9th, and heavy precipitation over last 8 months in region.

Edit:

Another reason includes the apparent blank spots in DSCOVR and ACE space probe data, a calm magnetosphere of Earth, and approaching CME and coronal hole polarization changes.

The blank spots in the data streams of ACE and DSCOVR sometimes indicate high energy bursts. When readings are outside norms, data is withheld until it can be vetted and verified by the investigating team operating the science instruments on each probe. The delay allows them time to rule out possible issues with instruments and false readings due to limits of measurement. Delayed, level 2 data from ACE usually includes the missing data, for example.

Contribution due to fracking is limited even though the cluster of earthquakes is shallow. Fracking activity tends to drop when the price of natural gas drops. Earthquakes with a strong correlation to fracking also tend to occur early in the week because injection of waste ‘blowback’ fluids often occur on weekends.

Since SOHO and DSCOVR are near Lagrangian point L1[1], the difference in their readings can indicate granularity of higher ordered turbulence over the minute-by-minute granularity provided by each probe separately. The more we know about the position and distance between these two probes, the more information can be inferred from interferometry.
