USGS Update 2006-Aug-31 09:23

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 to the south-southeast.

Recent observations: The volcano is clear this morning. Photographs from the Brutus (east rim) camera shows snow in the crater from yesterday's storm and continued growth of the lava dome. There have been no significant changes in seismicity, deformation, or rockfall activity in the past 24 hours.
