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 northward at low altitudes and northeastward at higher altitudes.

Recent observations: Crews are headed to the field today to continue yesterday's repair work on instrument sites, place a GPS spider on the growing lava dome, collect rock samples, conduct stream-channel surveys, and make observations. There has been no change in the level of activity over the past day.
