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 northeastward.
Recent observations: Lava dome extrusion continues at Mount St. Helens as does the hazy, hot weather. No significant changes in seismicity, deformation, or rockfall activity have been detected in the past 24 hours.
