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 north-northeastward to eastward.

Recent observations: Temporary outage of the USFS VolcanoCam thwarts remote views of the volcano this morning, but valley fog suggests that the mountain is likely clear. Seismic patterns remain the same as in the past few days, with episodic M1.5 to M2.5 earthquakes punctuating the constant background of very small earthquakes. These slightly larger quakes may be associated with rockfalls from the growing spine, and are par for the course under the current style of eruption.
