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 mostly to the east.

Recent observations: Mostly clear skies afford good views of the volcano this morning. Atmospheric conditions are favorable for a visible plume of condensed vapor to rise from the new dome, possibly to altitudes above the crater rim. Seismicity remains very low, and instrumental records indicate that the eruption continues in the same quiescent manner as in recent months.
