USGS Update 2006-Sep-22 08:29

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 southward.

Recent observations: The volcano is clear today above the valley fog. There have been no changes in eruptive activity in the past 24 hours, and seismicity remains in a relatively low state. Field crews will take advantage of today's clear weather to install another tiltmeter, retrieve some temporarily deployed broadband seismometers, adjust orientations of field cameras, and do some general maintenance and winterizing of instrumentation sites.
