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 northeastward today throughout the day.

Recent observations: Heavy clouds again are obscuring views into the crater. Instrumental readings indicate that growth of the lava dome continues at its slow, steady pace.
