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 south or southeast.

Recent observations: Clear weather this morning allows unobstructed views of the volcano from Johnston Ridge Observatory and elsewhere. Seismicity and growth of the lava dome are continuing at rates that are typical of recent months. Yesterday, field crews attended to monitoring instruments and made routine observations. Additional field work is planned later this week.
