USGS Update 2005-Jan-13 09:15

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.

Recent observations: The volcano is obscured by clouds this morning, but the weather should improve for tomorrow's field work. If wind conditions permit, we plan to install two instrument packages on and near the new lava dome. These were described in yesterday's update.
