USGS Update 2007-Jan-22 07:39

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 southeastward.

Recent observations: Mount St. Helens is quiet today, though clouds may disperse and allow a view into the crater. Seismicity remains low, consistent with the geodetic signals we receive from the mountain, though slow extrusion of lava continues.
