USGS Update 2006-Jan-08 10:30

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 would drift to the east and southeast.

Recent observations:No significant changes in the level or type of activity at the mountain have been noted since yesterday’s update. The pattern of “drumbeat” earthquakes every two to three minutes was undisturbed by any larger quakes overnight. No visual observations or field work were possible owing to continued inclement weather.
