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 eastward to southeastward.

Recent observations: No significant changes in seismicity or ground deformation have been detected in the past 24 hours, and seismicity remains generally low. A magnitude 3.1 earthquake this morning at 5:32 AM generated a rockfall and associated ash cloud that quickly dissipated. Although low clouds in the Portland/Vancouver area block distant views of the volcano this morning, the view from Johnston Ridge Observatory is clear and permits good views of the growing lava dome.
