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.

Recent observations: Icicles partially blocked a clear early morning view from the VolcanoCam. Weather related outages of a satellite communications link continue to plague reception of data streams from some of the crater seismic and deformation instruments. Most monitoring data are being received continuously, and they show no significant change in deformation trends and ongoing small “drumbeat” earthquakes, the signal of dome extrusion, every one to two minutes.
