USGS Update 2005-Dec-30 08:15
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 northeast.
Recent observations: Overnight, there has been no significant change in the level of seismic activity. Earthquake and ground deformation patterns remain blisteringly unchanged from recent trends. There have been no visual observations of the new dome growth since December 18. Continuing inclement winter weather conditions this week will likely prevent any field work.
