Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any high-level ash clouds rising above the crater rim today would drift north and any low-level ash clouds would drift northeast.

Recent observations: Views into the crater this morning are obscured by clouds. Scientists continue to monitor the slow rates of deformation and seismicity that accompany lava extrusion within the crater.
