USGS Update 2007-Mar-11 11:10

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 northeastward.

Recent observations: The volcano is obscured by clouds this morning. At 3:49 a.m this morning, a magnitude 2.5 earthquake punctuated the regular pattern of small earthquakes. Intermittent, larger events such as this have been fairly common throughout much of the eruption. There have been no significant changes in eruptive activity over the past 24 hours. As of this morning, the webicorders are still showing standard time, but the data are up to date and accurate.
