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 southeastward.

Recent observations: Once again, clouds completely obscure Mount St. Helens in views from the Johnston Ridge Observatory VolcanoCam. Some clearing is forecast in the coming week’s weather, which may allow for visual observations. Seismicity at the volcano remains at levels typical of the past few weeks.
