Mt. Fitzherbert

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that ash clouds rising above the crater would be transported to the southeast throughout the day today.

Recent observations: Views into the crater are blocked by clouds this morning but may be open in the afternoon. The level and character of seismicity has not changed in the past 24 hours. Small earthquakes are still occurring at the rate of one every 1 to 3 minutes, indicating that lava extrusion is continuing. Rockfalls from the growing spine may be expected to occur sporadically in the foreseeable future. Some larger rockfalls will loft dust plumes a few thousand feet above the crater rim that should be visible if the weather is clear.
