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 to the north.

Recent observations: Partly cloudy skies afford views of the snow- covered volcano this morning. A light steam plume can be seen rising from the growing lava dome. Seismicity is quiet, with one earthquake greater than M2 recorded at 11:45 PM PDT (0645 UTC) and smaller “drumbeat” earthquakes occurring once every several minutes.
