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 northward to north-northeastward.

Recent observations: The volcano is completely obscured by clouds this morning as another weather system moves through the Pacific Northwest. Remote camera views through intermittent breaks in the clouds show that the lava spine continues to grow taller even as its margins crumble. Seismicity at the volcano remains at levels typical of the past several weeks.
