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 eastward.

Recent observations: We lost communication with a few monitoring sites during last night's storm, but most survived and are transmitting data that show no significant changes in levels of seismicity or ground deformation. Hopefully improved weather conditions over the weekend will allow some glimpses of the growing lava dome from fixed cameras.
