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 northeastward early in the day and eastward to northeastward later in the day.

Recent observations: The volcano is obscured by clouds this morning as a winter storm moves through the area. At times, strong winds accompanying the storm may increase the background noise level on some of the seismometers around the volcano. Data from field instruments indicate that the level of eruptive activity remains unchanged from that of recent weeks.
