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 south.

Recent observations: It is a sunny and clear morning at the volcano and is expected to remain so throughout the day. The eruption continues unabated and without significant changes. As indicated by seismic and GPS instruments located in and around the crater, the new dome continues to grow in a westward direction at less than a meter per day to a drumbeat of very small earthquakes.
