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: Partially sunny weather has given us a glimpse of the volcano this morning. A small plume above the crater that was reported on some news programs yesterday did not coincide with any seismic activity and was most likely a small rockfall or snow avalanche. This morning’s seismicity is quiet, with no earthquakes above magnitude 2 in the past 24 hours and smaller earthquakes only once every several minutes.
