Mt. Fitzherbert

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 southeastward early in the day and east-southeastward later.

Recent observations: The mountain is clear today, but the lowlands are blanketed with light fog. We are planning a full day's work today, and hope to have crews in the field by mid morning. Strong overnight glow on the volcano-cam and data from our field instruments suggest that relatively steady-state dome growth continues.
