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.

Recent observations: Cloudy conditions prevail at mount St. Helens today. No significant changes in the on-going eruptive condition are indicated by faint seismic activity and occasional rock falls associated with continued growth of the lava dome.
