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 south to south-southeast.

Recent observations: Mount St. Helens is obscured by clouds this morning. Small periodic earthquakes at the mountain indicate that the volcano continues to erupt. Dome extrusion is accompained periodically by rock-fall events.
