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 mostly east-northeastward.

Recent observations: Cool, cloudy weather is forecast at the mountain today. There have been no earthquakes larger than magnitude 3 during the past 24 hours and no significant rockfall events reported. USGS members are in the field doing ground-based gas measurements east of the mountain and mapping on the flanks today but no flights into the crater are planned.
