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 to the east or southeast.

Recent observations: It is another quiet day here at Mount St. Helens, and the volcano is shrouded in clouds. Seismicity and deformation remain at low levels, though lava continues to extrude onto the south crater floor.
