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: Stormy weather remains in the region and clouds obscure views of the volcano. Seismicity has declined somewhat over the past few weeks, but M 1.5-2.5 earthquakes continue to occur episodically amidst a background of smaller quakes.
