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 to east-southeastward early in the day and eastward to east-northeastward later in the day.

Recent observations: Signals from a few crater seismometers have experienced intermittent outage again due to weather-related interruptions to one particular communications link. However, other stations on which alarms are keyed are transmitted through multiple pathways, and their signals are received continuously. As winter grips the mountain, intermittent signal outage from some instruments may recur. The robust data stream coming in indicates no significant change in eruptive activity.
