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 or southeast early in the day and northeast later in the day.

Recent observations: It is another quiet day here at Mount St. Helens. The volcano is in and out of cloud cover this morning. Seismicity and deformation remain at low levels, though lava continues to extrude onto the south crater floor.
