USGS Update 2006-Aug-30 09:04

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 in the morning, shifting to southeast by evening.

Recent observations: Today is a rare rainy summer day in the maritime Northwest, and the volcano is shrouded by clouds. There has been no earthquake or rockfall activity of note in the last day.
