USGS Update 2006-Nov-21 10:56

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 northeast.

Recent observations: Views from aircraft over the past weekend and from an automated camera in the crater show that the active lava spine is continuing to extrude. Seismicity has declined somewhat over the past two weeks, but M 1.5-2.5 earthquakes continue to occur episodically amidst a background of smaller quakes.
