USGS Update 2007-Feb-27 09:04

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 north-northwest early in the day and to the northeast later in the day.

Recent observations: The volcano remains obscured by clouds due to a prolonged winter storm. The storm has caused temporary outages of some stations, but portions of the monitoring network are functional at all times. Small earthquakes, characteristic of the eruption, continue and are unchanged from recent levels.
