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 northeast or east.

Recent observations: The volcano is mostly obscured by clouds this morning. Seismicity remains at a low background level, suggesting that lava extrusion is continuing. Yesterday afternoon at Coldwater Ridge Visitor Center, clearings between intermittent snow showers provided picturesque views of the snow clad volcano, lava domes, and glacier.
