USGS Update 2007-Jul-29 11:29

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: Clouds obscure the edifice above the pumice plain this morning. The eruption continues and is accompanied by low rates of seismicity and deformation. CVO field crews did not visit the volcano on Friday as planned due to lack of helicopter availability.
