USGS Update 2006-Apr-16 10:00

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 northeastward.

Recent observations: Clouds obscured visual observation of the volcano again this morning. The eruption continues with no observable changes over the past few days. Seismicity is low and steady and a GPS station on the actively growing dome continues to move to the west at a rate of about one meter per day.
