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.

Recent observations: Field crews are taking advantage of the clear weather to do stream channel surveys, collect paleomagnetic samples around the mountain, and conduct GPS surveys on the volcano's flanks. Seismicity and deformation at the volcano remain the same as they have over the past several days. A few moderate earthquakes continue to punctuate a persistent low level of small quakes.
