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: Eruptive conditions remain unchanged from recent months as slow lava-dome growth continues. Clear weather forecast for the July 4 holiday and following weekend should make for great viewing conditions of the crater and lava dome from Johnston Ridge Observatory and Windy Ridge Viewpoint.
