USGS Update 2005-Dec-29 08:45

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift to the east early today and to the northeast later in the day.

Recent observations: Overnight, there has been no significant change in the level of seismic activity. Patterns of earthquakes and ground deformation remain unchanged from recent trends. There have been no visual observations of the new dome growth since December 18. Inclement weather conditions this week will likely prevent any field work.
