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 this morning would drift E to ENE, shifting later in the day to E to ESE.

Recent observations: The crater is obscured by clouds this morning. Continued low-level seismicity accompanies the slow, steady extrusion of solidified lava in the growing lava dome. Multiple small rockfalls from the new dome are occurring daily, and clouds of ash, possibly with steam and gas, will continue to occasionally rise above the crater rim as the result of rockfall activity.
