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 eastward.

Recent observations: Another nice day at Mount St. Helens provides good visibility into the crater, though clouds may obscure the view later in the day. Seismicity remains at remarkably low levels as lava extrusion continues onto the south crater. There have been no significant changes in the last 24 hours.
