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 southward in the morning and south-southeastward in the evening.

Recent observations: Using the US Forest Service webcam, the crater area was visible above a low cloud deck this morning. A passive steam was rising to about rim height and dissipating toward the south. Lava continues to extrude into the new lava dome, and dome growth continues to be accompanied by small earthquakes and sporadic small rockfalls.
