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 SE during the morning and early afternoon, switching to the SSE for the late afternoon and evening.

Recent observations: The crater is obscured by low clouds this morning. Currently, background seismicity is low and only a few minor rockfalls occurred during the night. The next deployment of field crews in the crater will depend on weather and helicopter availability.
