Potential ash hazards: 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 and eastward to east-southeastward later.

Recent observations: No field work is planned for today, but we are planning a full day's work on either Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Data from instruments in the field suggest that relatively steady-state dome growth continues.
