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 east-northeastward.

Recent observations: The lava dome could be seen passively emitting steam this morning under a small lentiuclar cloud covering the crater. Continued incandescence at the top of the lava dome and persistent low-level seismicity indicate that the eruption is ongoing and unchanged. Fieldwork yesterday was curtailed by poor weather, and none is planned today.
