Mt. Fitzherbert

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 east to southeast early in the day and southeast and south later in the day.

Recent observations: Lava dome extrusion continues at Mount St. Helens. No significant changes in seismicity, deformation, or rockfall activity have been detected in the past 24 hours. Views of the crater are obscured by clouds this morning.
