USGS Update 2006-Jun-18 09:30
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 today would be transported to the east.
Recent observations: This morning the lava dome is shrouded in clouds. Small "drumbeat" earthquakes have increased slightly in amplitude in recent days though not to a degree that would signal dramatic new behavior. No other significant new activity.
