USGS Update 2006-Apr-01 10:30

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 today would drift north-northwestward in the morning and eastward in the evening.

Recent observations: No significant changes have been detected in the level of activity during the past day. Lingering clouds around the volcano prevent direct viewing of the lava dome. Although the overall level of seismicity remains low, the eruption of lava into the crater continues as evidenced by ongoing rockfall activity and continuous GPS measurements made on the growing lava lobe.
