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 today would drift to the northeast throughout the day.

Recent observations: The crater is clear this morning and should remain clear for much of the day, although clouds are moving in from the west. Continued low-level seismicity accompanies the slow, steady extrusion of solidified lava in the growing lava dome. Clouds of ash, possibly with steam and gas, will continue to occasionally rise above the crater rim as the result of rockfall activity.
