Mt. Fitzherbert

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 early and shift to a more east-northeastward trajectory later.

Recent observations: The stormy and cloudy weather continues to obscure the volcano, but viewing conditions will hopefully improve over the weekend and permit field work early next week. The volcano remains relatively quiet with small (M1 or smaller) quakes occurring about every 3 to 6 minutes. However, a moderate size earthquake (~M2.3) occurred yesterday at 12:36pm. CVO will be hosting an open house tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.. Come meet us and learn about what we do. Directions are available on our web site.
