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 east-northeastward.

Recent observations: Seismicity and deformation, which have accompanied lava dome extrusion, remain at low levels. The picture from the USFS' camera at JRO shows conditions at the volcano today to be clear and sunny. With dry, warm weather in the forecast, wind at the volcano may resuspend ash into the atmosphere.
