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 eastward.

Recent observations: Sunny weather affords clear views of Mount St. Helens from the Johnston Ridge Observatory VolcanoCam. Remote instruments indicate that lava dome extrusion continues with low seismicity and intermittent rockfalls. No significant changes in eruptive activity have been noticed in the past 24 hours.
