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

Recent observations: After days of rain and clouds, the mountain has emerged from the mist and the crater is clear. Over the next few days viewing conditions should improve markedly and permit field work early next week. There has been no significant change in seismicity or movement of GPS sensors in the crater over the past several days. Today CVO is hosting an open house from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Come meet us and learn about what we do. Directions are available on our web site.
