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 early today would drift southeast, but later today would variably drift southeast to northeast.

Recent observations: The volcano is clear and windy this morning. Small periodic earthquakes at the volcano continue and indicate that dome extrusion continues. Dome extrusion is accompanied periodically by rock-fall events. Some seismic stations are operating only intermittently because of heavy snow in the crater and on the upper parts of the volcano.
