USGS Update 2005-Apr-16 10:50

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift northeastward.

Recent observations: Almost 5 inches of rain have fallen in the crater during the past 24 hours. Streamflows have increased, but the intense rainfall has not triggered any lahars. Seismic and GPS instruments show no significant changes overnight.
