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 eastward to northeastward throughout the day.

Recent observations: The volcano is shrouded in clouds this morning. Small earthquakes that have accompanied lava dome extrusion continue and are unchanged from recent levels. GPS spiders on the active area on the lava dome show movement to the south, west and down along previously established trends.
