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 north to northeast.

Recent observations: Volcanic activity continues to register on the network of seismometers at the same intensity as recent days. Clouds block views into the crater. Almost an inch of rain fell from Wednesday through Thursday increasing stream flow and bedload in the Loowit Channel below the falls. Raised turbity levels were detected at points farther downstream.
