Mt. Fitzherbert

Potential Ash Hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds rising above the crater rim today would drift principally to the east and northeast.

Recent observations: Clear skies afford excellent views of the crater and growing lava dome this morning, and wispy steam plumes have been rising from the dome. Sporadic rockfalls continue to produce small amounts of ash and dust. No significant changes in seismicity or ground deformation have been detected in the past 24 hours, and seismicity remains generally low.
