USGS Update 2006-Nov-27 10:23

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 east to southeast.

Recent observations: The volcano is shrouded in snow clouds this morning, obscuring 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. No significant changes in eruptive activity have been observed in the past 24 hours.
