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 toward the northeast.

Recent observations: Despite cloudy weather in the Portland area, Mount St. Helens enjoys sunny skies at this hour. Small glacier quake and rockfall events, typical of a summer day, dominate the seismicity. There is no unusual activity at the mountain.
