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 and southeast.

Recent observations: Morning views into Mount St. Helens from remote cameras are obscured by clouds, which may clear later in the day. The subtle and mixed signals of ongoing lava-dome growth and glacier movement continue to be recorded by seismic stations inside the crater.
