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 mainly southeast or east. Winds at low elevations are forecast to be light and variable, so small dust plumes could drift into other sectors as well.

Recent observations: The volcano is clear of clouds this morning and field crews are on their way there to continue where they left off on Tuesday. They plan to visit several monitoring stations and make routine observations in the crater. Seismicity and the rate of dome growth remain unchanged from recent levels.
