USGS Update 2007-Aug-24 10:24

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 southeast early, shifting to due east late in the day.

Recent observations: It is clear at the mountain this morning and should remain so through the daylight hours. The conditions of the on-going eruption are low seismicity, frequent rockfalls, and slow distributed deformation associated with dome growth. There have been no changes in these conditions over the last 24 hours.
