USGS Update 2007-Apr-01 10:01

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.

Recent observations: Only the snow-clad lower flanks of the volcano are visible this morning in views from the VolcanoCam located at Johnston Ridge Observatory. Background seismicity remains at low levels, punctuated by intermittent M2 to M3 events and some rockfalls. No significant changes in eruptive activity have been noted in the past 24 hours.
