Mt. Fitzherbert

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift predominantly to the northeast.

Recent observations: No significant changes in the level or type of activity at the mountain have been noted since yesterday’s update. Gray skies and precipitation are obscuring views of the mountain from the USFS web camera at the Johnston Ridge Observatory this morning, and weather forecasts hold little promise for fieldwork or views over the next week or more.
