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 first to the east southeast, then later in the day to the southeast.

Recent observations: The mountain remains covered by clouds this morning. Small infrequent earthquakes and occasional rockfalls accompany continued slow growth of the lava dome. Field work is planned for tomorrow if the clouds clear.
