Mt. Fitzherbert

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 eastward.

Recent observations: Storm effects on field-sensor signals have abated and high-quality data are flowing again. The ongoing sequence of small (mostly less than M1.5) earthquakes continues. Poor weather continues to prevent good observations and field work, and no field work is planned for today. When weather permits, field crews will conduct visual and hydrological observations, replace and maintain seismic equipment, attempt gas and thermal-imaging measurements, and install additional GPS stations.
