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: Full results of yesterday's gas sensing flight will be available tomorrow, but an initial analysis suggests that gas flux remains within levels of the past few months. Low clouds and rain today will probably cause cancellation of planned crater work.
