Nevada has experienced four earthquakes since 8am ET, with the strongest reaching a 4.0 magnitude.
The swarm hit Valmy, which is about 200 miles southwest of Reno, on Monday.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) predicts a 27 percent chance of another 3.0 magnitude or higher quake hitting within the next week.
There is also a five percent chance of a 4.0 magnitude or higher.
The 4.0 magnitude hit at 12:28pm ET, about 50 miles northwest of Carlin, 71 miles east and northeast of Winnemucca and 32 miles north of Battle Mountain, according to the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Reno.
Nevada is the nation's third-most seismically active state, ranking after California and Alaska.
Valmy sits within a region of active fault lines, including the Fairview Peak-Dixie Valley Fault Scarps and the Central Nevada Seismic Belt.
The small town also sits on the Pleasant Valley fault that is capable of producing a quake up to a 7.7 magnitude.
The USGS detected the first quake, a 3.4 magnitude, at 8:03am ET.
A second 2.6 magnitude hit at 12:24pm and the 4.0 magnitude was detected just four minutes later.
And the fourth earthquake, a 2.9 magnitude, was reported at 1:29pm ET.
While a swarm like this would be felt by hundreds of people, the location is in the Great Basin that is sparsely populated.
USGS received only three reports of shaking in the area. However, those individuals said they felt 'strong shaking.'
And since this area is part of the Basin, it experiences active crustal stretching, fault movements and occasional deep fluid activity.
