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 eastward early and shift to a more eastward to east-northeastward trajectory later in the day.

Recent observations: Intermittent loss of signals from crater seismic and GPS stations indicate that stations remain functional but that probable snow and ice buildup on antennae are interrupting radio transmissions. With winter settling in at the mountain, such intermittent disruptions may become commonplace. This morning, clouds continue to obscure the volcano. The data stream coming in, however, indicates no significant change in eruptive activity.
