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 to the southeast this morning and to the south-southeast later in the day.

Recent observations: The volcano is obscured by clouds this morning. Seismicity and ground deformation remain at low levels. A magnitude 2.3 earthquake near the volcano at 5:17 a.m. today is typical of the current background level of seismicity. Slow growth of the lava dome continues.
