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 SSE.

Recent observations: Clouds parted this morning to reveal fresh snow on the mountain under a beautiful blue sky. Seismicity remains at a low background level suggesting that lava extrusion is continuing.
