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 south-southeastward.

Recent observations: The crater is partly cloudy this morning and views of the dome are obscured. Seismic and deformation data continue trends of the past few weeks. Later this week when weather improves, crews plan to install and retrieve instrumentation packages in the crater, reoccupy GPS stations on the volcano's flanks, collect water samples, and service flow-warning instrumentation at the mouth of the crater.
