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 northeastward.

Recent observations: A damp day in the Northwest precludes views of the volcano today. Instruments on the mountain indicate that the dome-building eruption continues amid a background of low-level seismicity, punctuated by the occasional larger quake, such as the M2.5 earthquake that occurred at 10:30 yesterday morning.
