USGS Update 2006-Oct-15 09:55

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 east- northeast.

Recent observations: Clouds and rain cloak the mountain today generally obscuring views. Fleeting glimpses into the crater may be possible as passing bands of precipitation clear the area. Inclement weather is expected to continue through tomorrow. No significant changes in monitored parameters have been observed in the last 24 hours. The eruption continues unchanged in style or severity.
