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 north-northeastward to northeastward.

Recent observations: The volcano is mostly clear above lowland clouds this morning. Atmospheric conditions are conducive for creating a visible vapor plume that is drifting out of the mouth of the crater toward the northeast. GPS and seismic data remain unchanged from recent trends. Tiny “drumbeat” earthquakes continue to occur at a rate of about one every minute and a half. Larger earthquakes up to about M=2.5 occur once every few hours
