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 southeast early in the day, shifting to predominantly to the east late in the day.

Recent observations: Cloudy conditions prevail at the mountain this morning. The crater was clear beneath the cloud cover early but is now shrouded. Viewing conditions are expected to continue to deteriorate today. Over the past 24 hours seismicity has remained low and unchanged from recent levels. A M3.4 earthquake occured yesterday afternoon at 4:15pm local time.
