USGS Update 2005-Oct-22 09:00

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 north-northwestward to northward early and shift to a north-northeastward trajectory later in the day.

Recent observations: Clear conditions this morning reveal minor steam and dust plumes drifting away from the volcano. The server glitch associated with the PNSN website continues to periodically disrupt display of seismic records again today, and seismologists are actively pursuing the problem. The data stream from instruments in the field is not affected, and that stream indicates no significant change in eruptive activity.
