USGS Update 2006-Oct-07 10:22

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 southeast.

Recent observations: Lava continues to extrude associated with periodic tilt of the crater floor and primarily sporadic, low level seismicity. Yesterday through early this morning, 4 small earthquakes M2.2 to M3.2 have occurred beneath the crater floor. Viewing conditions are good this morning.
