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 southeastward early in the day and eastward later in the day.

Recent observations: Stormy weather in the mountains is obscuring any views of the volcano this morning. A satellite telemetry link that brings in some of the seismic and geodetic data from the volcano appears to have gone down again late yesterday morning. Other stations, on which event alarms are keyed, are being received continuously. The data streams coming in indicate that the level of eruptive activity remains unchanged.
