USGS Update 2004-Dec-05 10:10

Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift northeastward early in the day, then switch to east-southeastward later in the day.

Recent observations: No field work was undertaken yesterday and none is planned today. In the coming days, field crews will conduct visual and hydrological observations, replacement and maintenance of seismic equipment, and gas and thermal measurements as weather permits.
