USGS Update 2007-Aug-12 10:42

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 northeastward.

Recent observations: Low clouds partially fill the crater of Mount St. Helens this morning, obscuring views of the new lava dome. Seismicity remains low and no significant changes in eruptive activity have been noted in the past 24 hours.
