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 southeast or east.

Recent observations: The day has dawned clear at the volcano, which is visible in images from Johnston Ridge Observatory. There have been no changes in background levels of seismicity or motion of the active part of the lava dome. Weather permitting, crews will visit the volcano later this week to make routine observations and to repair or replace monitoring instruments.
