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 east-northeastward in the morning and in the evening.

Recent observations: The spell of good weather has given us the first opportunity in two weeks to travel to the field and maintain instruments. Seismicity has been normal; the normal repetitive tiny earthquakes continue every few minutes, and no earthquakes of magnitude greater than 2 have occurred in the past day and a half.
