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 primarily eastward throughout the day.

Recent observations: Some breaks in the cloud cover are providing intermittent glimpses of the crater this morning. More clouds are expected this afternoon, however, so visual monitoring will continue to be minimal. Small earthquakes that have accompanied the lava dome growth continue and monitoring data are unchanged from recent levels.
