Mt. Fitzherbert

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 eastward early in the day shifting to east-northeastward later.

Recent observations: No significant changes have been detected in the level of activity during the past day. Stormy weather continues to obscure the volcano and the forecast for the week ahead shows little promise. Analysis of photos taken from the crater rim over a 21-hour period between January 23rd – 24th indicate that the extrusion of new dome rock continues unabated.
