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 southeastward.

Recent observations: The crater area was visible this morning through the US Forest Service webcam. Fresh snow is visible down to the Step area at the mouth of the crater. Lava continues to extrude into the new lava dome, and dome growth continues to be accompanied by small earthquakes and sporadic small rockfalls.
