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 north to northeastward early, and that high-elevation plumes would drift east-southeastward later in the day.

Recent observations: This morning, the volcano is mostly obscured by clouds. Seismicity continues to be relatively quiet, although a moderate-sized earthquake punctuated the low-level background of small quakes last night at 7:42 p.m. GPS data show that a part of the active dome continues to move slowly westward at about a meter per day.
