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 east-northeastward early in the day and northeastward later.

Recent observations: Stormy weather continues to obscure the volcano and affect data-transmission from some instruments. Typical, low levels of seismicity and ground deformation indicate continued slow extrusion of lava on the active part of the new lava dome.
