USGS Update 2006-Nov-25 10:20

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 southeastward.

Recent observations: The snow-covered flanks of the volcano are visible this morning in icicle-impeded views from the VolcanoCam at Johnston Ridge Observatory. Remote monitoring instruments indicate that the eruption continues with low levels of background seismicity, episodically occurring M 1.5-2.5 events, and occasional larger quakes. Yesterday at 1:45 PM PST (21:45 UTC) a M 2.9 earthquake occurred. No significant changes in eruptive activity have been observed in the past 24 hours.
