USGS Update 2005-Oct-24 10:20

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 early in the day and north-northeastward later.

Recent observations: This morning's camera views from around the volcano show a diffuse white vapor, volcanic gas, and minor dust plume rising from the actively growing part of the lava dome and drifting out of the crater mouth. Seismic and deformation data remain unchanged.
