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 north-northeast early in the day and east-northeast later in the day.

Recent observations: The view from a fixed camera at the crater mouth shows clouds obscuring the mountain. Seismicity continues at rates typical of the past few months. There has been no change in eruptive conditions.
