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 northeastward.

Recent observations: After morning clouds, the mountain partially cleared this afternoon, allowing fleeting glimpses of the crater. Seismicity has been low except for rockfalls in the crater. Rockfall activity may have been partially responsible for a thermal plume above the volcano that was visible in some satellite images yesterday. There was no detectable ash associated with this thermal anomaly.
