USGS Update 2007-Jul-27 08:35

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 to the northeast.

Recent observations: Despite cloud cover in nearby lowlands, Mount St. Helens is bathed in brilliant sunshine this morning. Levels of seismicity remain low, and the ongoing eruption continues in the same quiet fashion typical of recent months.
