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 southwesterly.

Recent observations: Lava dome extrusion continues under clear skies this morning at Mount St. Helens. Low levels of seismicity and minor rockfall activity were observed over the past 24 hours. Crews will be in the field today installing and repairing monitoring instruments.
