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 eastward.

Recent observations: Unseasonably cool and cloudy conditions once again plague the Pacific Northwest today, precluding observation this morning of Mount St. Helens from remote camera stations. Seismicity remains low. If the weather breaks, crews will be in the field tomorrow repairing, retrieving, and maintaining remote monitoring equipment on the volcano.
