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 northward, but owing to shifting winds by this afternoon, such ash clouds would drift predominantly eastward.

Recent observations: Clouds obscured visual observation of the volcano this morning. This morning’s seismicity is quiet, with no earthquakes greater than magnitude 2 in the past 24 hours and smaller earthquakes once every several minutes. Intermittent seismic signals suggest small rock falls that typically occur near the actively growing part of the dome.
