Mt. Fitzherbert
USGS Update 2006-Sep-14 09:51
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 eastsoutheastward in the morning and eastward by evening.
Recent observations: The extrusion of the new lava dome continues unabated, despite relatively low seismicity levels. A M 3.2 earthquake occurred just under the crater yesterday afternoon at 12:56 PDT. Fall weather is returning to Mount St.Helens with forecast snow and rain showers over the next couple of days. Views of the crater are obscured by clouds this morning.
