USGS Update 2005-Oct-17 08:45
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 east-northeastward to eastward.
Recent observations: The crater is clear above the lowland clouds and crews may head to the field to perform a variety of tasks if visibility improves. Monitoring data from seismic, GPS, and tilt instruments indicate that no significant changes in eruptive conditions have occurred during the past few days.
