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 north.

Recent observations: High clouds allowed observation of the volcano this morning. Steaming is apparent near the actively growing dome. During the last two days, intermittent small rock falls have occurred on the west part of the new dome. 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.
