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 early in the day to eastward late in the day.

Recent observations: The lava dome continues to extrude accompanied by low levels of deformation and background seismicity, some intermediate sized earthquakes (M1.5 to 2.5) and occasional larger earthquakes (M2.5 to 3.5). A M3.2 earthquake occurred at the volcano about 5:55 pm yesterday evening. No significant changes in eruptive activity have been observed in the past 24 hours.
