USGS Update 2007-Mar-23 08:14

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-southeastward early, shifting to an eastward to northeastward trajectory later in the day.

Recent observations: Clouds obscure the volcano this morning. If they lift, field crews may try to get out to conduct instrument maintenance. The level of seismicity remains unchanged; last night (10:09pm)a modest M2.4 earthquake occurred amidst the background of very low level seismicity.
