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 northeastward to north-northeastward.

Recent observations: Brief glimpses from the VolcanoCam early this morning reveal a new blanket of snow on the crater floor and upper flanks and a vapor plume drifting northeastward from the growing lava dome. The weather forecast suggests we may not have many more views of the volcano for the rest of the week. Monitoring data maintain the same levels as those of recent weeks.
