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 northeastward.

Recent observations: Low-level clouds continue to shroud the mountain this morning and prevent visual observations. Our instrumentation, however, indicates that there has been no change in the level or character of seismicity in the past 24 hours. Overall, the seismicity indicates that lava extrusion and rockfalls from the growing spine are continuing. Some of the larger rockfalls might loft dust plumes that rise above the crater rim, which, if clouds clear, could be visible.
