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 to the southeast throughout the day.

Recent observations: The eruption continues with no significant changes. Preliminary analysis shows no significant changes in temperature, in the low flux of volcanic gases, or in the character of lava being erupted. New rock samples were collected for analysis this past week. The weather forecast suggests that field operations are unlikely for the rest of this week.
