USGS Update 2005-Sep-17 07:30
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 southward to south-southwestward.
Recent observations: There have been no significant changes in the level of activity overnight. It's another cloudy day with poor visibility on all of the cameras at the volcano.
