USGS Update 2006-Oct-27 10:09

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 eastward.

Recent observations: The volcano is intermittently visible from Johnston Ridge this morning. Low clouds in the area are forecast to give way to sunny skies later today. Lava extrusion accompanied by small earthquakes and rockfalls is continuing. There have been no significant changes in activity during the past 24 hours.
