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 northeastward.

Recent observations: Streamflows in the crater are rising as a result of more than one inch of rain overnight, and storm noise is evident on several seismic stations. There has been no change in the level of activity in the recent past as slow lava extrusion continues.
