Mt. Fitzherbert
USGS Update 2006-Apr-06 11:00
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 to the east-northeast this morning shifting to the northeast by afternoon.
Recent observations: Views from the Johnston Ridge Observatory VolcanoCam this morning show low clouds obscuring the crater of the volcano. Seismicity is quiet, with only one earthquake greater than M2 recorded in the last 24 hours (yesterday at 4:06 PM PDT, 2306 UTC). Smaller “drumbeat” earthquakes are occurring once every several minutes. GPS receivers indicate that solidified dacite lava continues to extrude slowly.
